RAYMOND, VANDERVORT posted by Pearle (Steinke) Daugherty on Tuesday, November 14, 2000

I am researching the name Raymond. My grandfather and gransmother evidently lived in this county at one time around 1893. In my records I have a child, Ella May Raymond born august 26, 1893 at Farnam, Nebr. She died on April 4, 1895 and was buried at Indianola, Nebr. Does anyone have any record of Edson or Minnie Raaaymond anywhere there.

DOUGHERTY, KENT, MCENTEE posted by James Cochrane on Thursday, November 16, 2000

DOUGHERTY, KENT, MCENTEE - searching for information on these ancestors. Edgar or Edward Dougherty, b. 9/24/1869 in Iowa Center, Story Co., Iowa, d. 3/3/1950 in Wadena, MN and buried in Fairview, SD, was married on 7/30/1892 in Lexington, NE to Emma Pauline Kent. Anna Minerva Dougherty, a sister of Edgar or Edward married a McEntee. Many McEntees are buried in a small cemetery SE of Eddyville. Anna and Thomas McEntee were married in Eddyville, I would assume at the Catholic Church in 1890. I would enjoy corresponding with others interested in these families. Jim Cochrane jimmynj@aol.com
