The Nebraska Genealogical Society met at Lincoln Chamber of Commerce on Friday, Apr. 24, 1925, for luncheon and the regular quarterly meeting. The matter of increasing the number of pages in the Record for the publication of Mrs. Cleghorn's family data, which includes several Mayflower lines, was discussed and referred back to the Editorial Staff for further consideration. Mrs. Spencer resigned as chairman of the Finance Committee. Mrs. Letton read a very interesting and instructive paper on "Architecture of Colonial America."

BRUCE FAMILY RECORD

In the county line roadway, between Marshall and Washington counties, Kansas, about nineteen miles south of the Nebraska state line, is a small enclosure with a picket fence, containing three graves with the following inscriptions:

MARTHA, wife of C. H. Bruce, died Dec. 10, 1862, aged 44 yrs., 10 m., 4 days

These people were my neighbors for over twenty years, and the facts above mentioned were either known to me personally or told me by the family. I copied the tombstone records in October, 1924.
