FEGLEY, LINCOLN, RECTOR, SWIFT posted by Susie Nerlin on Saturday, January 1, 2000

My great- grandparents, James Edward RECTOR (15 Mar 1881 - 7 Dec 1923)and Bessie Louise (SWIFT) FEGLEY (6 Apr 1884 - 5 Jan 1964) They are both buried at the Pleasant View East Cemetary in Norden. They were married Feb 14, 1900 in Springview by Pastor A.F. Carpenter. They then went to Allen, Nebraska (Dixon Co.) to live on Bessie's father's place until 1909. His name was Eber SWIFT and I am told he was married to Louise LINCOLN. Louise died when Bessie was young, and she was subsequently adopted by George and Laura FEGLEY. She had a sister, Eva,and two brothers, Lile E. SWIFT and Morton SWIFT, who was a halfbrother, so Eber must have re-married. I would like to find further information on Bessie's parents and siblings, etc. Thank you!
