Eventually I was able to learn that she is buried in the new cemetery, and that a Catholic priest and her family was in attendance.

Do you know anything about Lincoln Regional Center in Lancaster County? I had a relative who resided in that facility from 1880 until her death which I believe was between 1900 and 1907.....do you think I would have any luck finding her discharge/death date if I contacted the facility?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6602785489313119107.post-30579711227914465672013-09-17T10:46:17.185-05:002013-09-17T10:46:17.185-05:00My uncle was admitted there in 1942 and died short...My uncle was admitted there in 1942 and died shortly thereafter in Jan 1943 of tertiary syphillis. Prior to being admitted there, he had been brought back from Brooklyn and spent a few months in a Omaha hospital where he was treated with mercury and heavy metals, probably contributing to his demise. We obtained his records by procuring a lawyer who supoened them. This was 10 or so years ago, so maybe things have changed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6602785489313119107.post-5422193692092938902013-09-12T19:07:58.094-05:002013-09-12T19:07:58.094-05:00Deb ... thanks for sharing this.

You might want to contact the Nebraska State Historical Society in Lincoln, NE. Their web page is http://www.nebraskahistory.org. E-mail would be nshs.libarch@nebraska.gov. They may be able to give you some ideas as to where it is.

To have witnessed and had a part in the marvelous development of Nebraska in an agricultural way was a source of him of great pride and pleasure. As a pioneer farmer in Nebraska, his name was enrolled on a scroll deposited in the archives of our new State Capital Building during the ceremonies in connection with the laying of the corner stone."<br /><br />I wonder if the scroll is in an archive there or if they mean they buried it in a time capsule thing in the corner stone? I would love to see the scroll. <br /><br />Debrdwags79https://www.blogger.com/profile/00385700056323807200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6602785489313119107.post-75527075970421554492013-06-24T14:31:36.514-05:002013-06-24T14:31:36.514-05:00Lois ... normally the information you need is not ...Lois ... normally the information you need is not of public record.

We very much would like to know if there are records we can see of her diagnosis and care. Do you have any suggestions? She died in october of 1888, not that long after she was transferred to Norfolk. The story is that she was buried on a hill north of Columbus (where she was from) - I read that there was a very old burial site there which included early town people, and some who were on the trail going west. Are you familiar with this place?<br />thanks for this site -<br />Lois<br />Loishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11867855810685391057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6602785489313119107.post-84713194945253405202012-12-24T07:56:09.743-06:002012-12-24T07:56:09.743-06:00Mike ... contact to the Nebraska State Historical ...Mike ... contact to the Nebraska State Historical Society in Lincoln, Nebraska. http://www.nebraskahistory.org.
