I am researching the CURTIS/MANNON family who raised their family in the Seward County. His name was Walter Curtis and he married Charlotte Mannon and together they raised 11 children. Would love to have any info on them. Lexi
WAMBOLD, JOHN JACOB, WIFE- ELIZABETH CHARLOTTE STEDNITZ WAMBOLD,
CHILDREN: WALT, GRACE, CLARENCE ELEANOR AND KENNETH WAMBOLD
JOHN JACOB WAS FROM RUSSIA. HE CAME TO SEWARD COUNTY AS PART OF A SETTLEMENT. HE FARMED AND FUR TRAPPED AND TRADED. HE WORKED FOR ELGIN WATCH COMPANY AND THE BURLINGTON NORTHERN LINE.
Would like to know if their names are resgistered with you and if they are part of the Seward history.
I am reasearching William LINDQUIST who came to Staplehurst from Red Cloud, NE after he reached manhood. I do not have exact dates as to when he came, but I do know he was living in Staplehurst about 1920 and until 1940 (he is on the census). I have been trying to find a death date for him. There is no probate record for him and I believe he was possibly a pauper. He never married or had children, to my knowledge. On each census I find him on he is listed as single and a lodger. It appears he never really had anything. He was born about 1871 in New York and came to live with my family in Red Cloud about 1880.
Does anyone know how to locate information for those buried as paupers? Is there a city directory for the years after 1940?
Thanks.
