REES posted by Jannette Thomas on Wednesday, July 3, 2002

I am trying to confirm to where the George Rees family lived. On the Holt Co. section of the 1890-1891 gazetteer it gives the nearest town as Doty. I also have a handwritten account which indicates that the family lived near Doty, Neb c. 1886-1891. It also states that two children were buried in Oak Grove Cemetery near Doty.
John Franklin Rees 2 Jan 1881- 26 Mar 1887
Nora Rees 2 Apr 1886-6 Oct 1886
I have been unable to locate this cemetery and the closest Doty I have found is in Boyd CO. Did the PO move?
We found that this area of Holt county became part of Boyd County.
