POOLE posted by John Campbell on Wednesday, October 30, 2002

Willow Creek Church was in northern part of Saunders County, NE, in the early 1900. The church is gone now but the cemetery is still there. A Viola Jane Poole was 13 years old when she died and her services were held at the church in September 1903. Does anyone know who got the records of that church when it closed and if they are still available. Maybe they are around someplace and I would love to have someone look and see if she is buried in the Willow Creek Cemetery. We cannot find her anywhere. Maybe there was a obituary in a local newspaper that I haven't found. Any help greatly appreciated. John. jsc@erinet.com
