I am looking for information or the obituaries of my G-Grandparents; Peter Henry Anderson (d. 2/12/1940 in Naper) and his wife Marie (Schmidt) Anderson (d. 7/26/1926 in Lynch); and my G-G-Grandparents, Andrew Arthur Anderson (d. 1/1/1910 in Naper) and his wife Margaretha (d. 5/18/1908 in Naper). I think they are all buried in Boyd county as well, but do not have that information either.

My great grandparents lived in Bristow, NE from 1884 to 1910. John Stuard Hight married Cora Susan Tenney in 1884 and settled in Bristow. My grandmother was born in 1892. Grace Gertrude Hight. She had a sister that was born in 1891. Her name was Alma L. Hight. Alma died in 1909 and I don't know why. Looking for information on Alma. She is buried in Grimton or Rosedale.

BLILIE, REESE, WADSWORTH posted by Linda Walls on Saturday, April 24, 2004

I am looking for a probate record or death certificate on Carrie Reese and on Frank Reese, in Boyd Co., Nebraska. Carrie is buried in the Knollcrest Cemetery in Boyd Co., Nebraska. Is there anyone who would be able to do a lookup in the Boyd Co. courthouse for these probate records? This couple may also have died in Gregory Co., S.D. So it is possible their probate records would be in that county courthouse. They lived in both counties at different times it appears. Carrie Resse was previously married to Wilson Wadsworth and her maiden name was Carrie/Kari Blilie. Her family live in Naper, Nebraska and the surrounding counties. Not for sure where Frank Reese came from at this point. Thanks in advance. Linda Walls

My mother (90yrs.) has a delightful story about a very nice, well liked, bank teller in Naper, NE. Alta Luree Billeter (b. 1914 in Naper) was named after this lovely teller, Luree SNYDER. Does anyone know of a 1912 Naper bank owner or teller by this last name? Thank you in advance for any information, Jean Tonniges, San Diego
