Who owned the farm on the above address in 1928?
Knowing the answer will enable me to further trace my family Nebraska. I have a letter with this return address from the brother (Henry Christiansen) of my grandmother. He writes in the letter that he lives with an aunt. I would like to know who this could be.

EICHELBERGER, GUMMERE posted by Keith Hughes on Monday, October 14, 2002: I have two connections to Hamilton County. The first is HANNAH GUMMERE, who was my Great-Grandmother. She was born in Hamilton Co, somewhere around Giltner. Two of her siblings, Alseda and Carrie, are listed in the family Bible as having died in Giltner. The John Gummere family was in Hamilton Co from aprox 1880 to 1896, when they moved to Southerland.
My second connection is AURORA REBECCA EICHELBERGER. Her birthplace was Aurora, Hamilton Co, and she was my great grandfather's second wife, after the death of Hannah. The David Eichelberger family was in the county from aprox 1885 to 1900, when they moved to Paxton.
