PAIGE posted by Matt Combs on Monday, August 3, 1998

Searching for PAIGE family reportedly in Dawson County, NE. Thomas Jefferson PAIGE was born 11 March 1807 in Havershire, NH, and reportedly died 26 Jan 1894 in Dawson County. His wife, Eliza (GAULT) PAIGE was born in NH, and reportedly died in Dawson County on 18 May 1898. I would appreciate any information. I searched the cemetary files (wonderful pages), but did not find them. Was a newspaper active in 1894-1898? If so, would somebody be willing to check for an obit? Are there any death indexes? Thanks.
