I am searching for information on my father, Ambrose Kearns, who enlisted in the National Guard in Fremont, Nebraska in March, 1917, after his discharge from the Army, he returned to Fremont and enlisted in the Navy in May, 1918. At this time he may have been living with his foster sister in Fremont. Her name may have been Helen Cassidy, and the address given on the Navy enlistment form was 1426 Main St., Fremont, Nebraska. Ambrose was placed out with a Mrs. Agnes Cassidy, in Inman Township, Holt County, Nebraska, at the age of three years and was with her until Dec. 1913. The records of the New York Foundling Hospital state that he was thought to be in Fremont in 1920 with his foster sister.
Other members of the Cassidy family in 1910 were Helen, age 19, listed as a daughter, Thomas , age 17, listed as a son, and Lawrence, age 10, who I believe was my father. I would appreciate any information, such as obits, concerning the people who lived at the above address from early in 1917 or 1918 until 1926.I believe either the foster mother, or the foster sister died in or near Fremont and may have lived at this address. Also, I have a copy of the census for the years the New York Foundling Hospital placed out children and will be glad to look up names in the census for anyone who has an interest in finding anyone who was a member of this group.
Thank you.

hello,
My name is Jack Miller. Both of my great grandfathers owned farms North and East of Page. My grand parents. Lowell and Edith Miller ran a restaurant in Page for about eight years after the First World War.
My great grandfather Nis Miller owned a large farm one mile north and two miles East of Page, I understand it still exists. Another mile and a half East is the location of my other great grandfather Walter Snyder's farm. During the fifties I visited Page with my parents, at that time we had relatives still living there. I look forward to using your resources to further my study of the people and the history of Page and would appreciate any help you might be able to provide.
