EMMONS posted by Lori Widger on Sunday, February 16, 2003

Was there a town called 'Alfred' in Boyd County at one time? Or a town called 'Ayola' in the same county? I found information on ancestry.com about my husband's great-great-grandfather, saying he lived in Alfred, Boyd County, Nebraska. His name was George Lucius Emmons, and he died in 1899 (I assume there in Boyd County). In his daughter's (Anna Otelia Emmons) obituary it says that the family moved to Ayola, Nebraska from Iowa. Neither town is on the map now, and I can't find information on either one on the internet. If you have any information to share, I'd love to have it. Thank you!
