The details below the photo read: "Russell, Minn., Oct. 26 
A former Dixon county, Nebraska family now living here and at Marshall, Minn., has attracted attention recently because there are four generations represented and also because the senior of them all, Walter Lyle, 87 years old, is still alive and able to do so much work as many men many years younger. The four generations are shown in the picture above and are as follows: Standing, J.O. Lyle, 48, Russell, Minn.; at left, D.C. Lyle, 21, Russell, Minn., his son, Donald Roy Lyle, 4 months old, and Walter Lyle, 47, Marshall, Minn. Submitted by Heather Lyle DeCarlo, Rock Hill, SC

Offsite Pixley Photos

I have photos listed on a Madison County web site of an Osborn/e - Boyer collection. Some I have gotten identified, but many I have not. Many are photographer's from Madison County, NE that have taken the pictures. Some I have identified were from Grayson Co. VA. Many of the Osborn's migrated from Grayson County, VA to Madison County, NE. 

Please contact Donna if you can help identify these photos or if you would like a scanned image for yourself.

Group picture
This photo was taken in the Holdrege area of Phelps County, Nebraska. It was taken in the 1890's sometime and the two little girls with Long over them are Effie May b. 9/11/1883 in IL and Nellie Louise b. 4/5/1885 in NE. The two gentlemen in the back are Loren Samuel Long (the girls father) and his wife's cousin, Isaac Barber.

I hope this information is sufficient I did not know for sure where they had homesteaded but recently have found out that they took the train to Hastings, NE and from there went to Phelps County. Submitted by Betty Coffman 

Phelps County Photos

Taken at the John "Will" W. and Mary Francis (WHITE) ROBINSON farm, Holdrege, Phelps County, NE. I know the identity of some of the people, but there are several that I don't know.

This is the wedding of Mary Ellen JACKSON and Edgar Clarence STEVENS, June 9, 1909. Mary Ellen is standing directly behind Aunt Mary ROBINSON. Behind Mary Ellen (on her left) is Ann (Lostetter) JACKSON and on her left is her husband, Everett Edward JACKSON, (Mary's brother.) Clarence Edgar STEVENS is on the far left of Mary Ellen. He is the man farthest on the right of the photo. No one else in the photo is known. John W. ROBINSON died before the wedding.

This one is Mary Ellen JACKSON and her Mother's sister, Mary Francis (White) ROBINSON. It was taken at the ROBINSON farm, near Holdrege, NE on June 9, 1909. Mary Ellen was marrying my grandfather, Clarence Edgar STEVENS.

All photos came from albums owned by my grandmother, Mary Christine Hamlow, wife of Albert P. Anderson of Waverly, Lancaster county, Nebraska. Her parents, Swedish immigrants Andrew and Christine Hamlow, purchased railroad land near Waverly on the Cass County line in 1878. The family was Lutheran.

Mary was a Nebraska Wesleyan graduate and a schoolteacher in the area before her marriage in 1900. Albert and his cousin August Brandeen once owned the general store in Waverly. Most of the family are buried in the Rosehill Cemetery in Waverly.

The title assigned to each photo is exactly as written on the photo. The time frame appears to be about 1895 to 1910. I have no additional information on any of these persons; they were not related to the Hamlow's, to my knowledge.

I am willing to send the originals to family members.

I recently purchased a decorative marriage document - that people used to frame & hang on their wall - well I would like to contribute the information to your NEGenWeb project. Here's what it reads:

This Certifies That Charles F. Cutler of Hastings, Nebr. and Mary Margaret Joyce of Hastings, Nebr. were united in Holy Matrimony According to the Rites of the Holy Roman Catholic Church and the Laws of the State of Nebraska at St. Cecilia's Church, Hastings Nebr. on the 20th day of January in the Year of Our Lord 1922.

What therefore God hath joined together let no man put asunder.

I would be glad to scan & send to anyone interested in seeing it. If the family who it belongs to should show up - refer them to me - I will part with it so they can have it as an heirloom. It is not in the greatest shape...but it is still a neat item that could be framed nicely. It measures 11.25 x 17 inches & has been rolled into a tube - thereby causing serious wrinkling, and has a tear at the top in the center about 2.5" long - but does not detract from the beauty of the piece.

John J. Coard, taken around 1885 at the studio of Howard Ellis, Photographer, at Pawnee City, NE.

He was also a member of the Golden Rule Encampment, No. 17, I.O.O.F. which was instituted 18, Jan, 1882 and was Secretary of the organization. He and Martha Spencer Marshall had photographs taken abt. 1885 in Pawnee City, NE. In the Spencer Family photo album, his picture is labeled as Martha's husband. They were married abt. this time. On the 1885 NE State Census, John/Martha and their children were living in Pawnee City, NE.

They later migrated to AR. John died 2, Aug, 1919 in Hot Springs, AR.
