BOUCHER...SENGER
Kaycee Dye (DyeKM@ci.north-platte.ne.us) 5 June 2007
My name is Kaycee Dye and I live in North Platte, Nebraska and work at
the North Platte Public Library. The reason I'm mailing you is to see if
you would have any information on a man who got married in Bird City,
Kansas in 1958.
We had a lady come to the Library who works for
the local hi-rise retirement home here in North Platte. There was a
gentleman living there who passed away on Monday. He only talked about a
daughter and no one else. They found a marriage license in his personal
belongings and nothing else that might give information on living
relatives. He had also shown pictures in his wallet to people but no one
knows who the pictures are or they don't remember. We were wondering if
you might be able to find any information on him through the marriage
license? They filed for the license on November 14, 1958
Donald
BOUCHER of Bird City, Kansas, age 30
Freda SENGER, of Bird City,
Kansas, age 19
Married on November 16, 1958, the certificate was
signed by Ralph R Radkoff (spelling ?), Pastor
It is stamped
with the Cheyenne County Seal with the date 11th day of September 2003.
We can't read the words that are stamped by the seal, just the date that
was written in. The name of the Clerk of the District Court in 2003 was
Sharon Elliott, anyway it's her signature by the stamp. Also on the top
of the page is P.J. no. 3808. I don't know what that means.
Thank you for any help and let me know if there is a cost involved. We
would love to find someone to let them know he's gone if there is anyone
to find.
ENOS

From various family stories I've been led to believe that my Great Great

connection to Cheyenne county and could be included in the list of
surnames. I'm trying to confirm when/where he was born and how long he
had been in Cheyenne county. I believe he - and perhaps some of his
children - came from Decatur county sometime after 1895.

SCHLEPP
Submitter Unknown 13 October 1999
SCHLEPPs were pretty
popular in St. Francis from around 1885. Do you have any SCHLEPPs in your line?
Do you want to share information?
ROWLEY
Submitter Unknown 8 August 1999
I
am looking for any information about Bennajah / Benengie ROWLEY and his
ancestors. This is a summary of what I know so far.
Bennjah married Susan
Anne HYATT on March 20, 1893 at St. Francis, Kansas. there they lived in a sod
house on the prairie. Apparently, Ben was in partnership with an Alec McCALLUMB,
on a cattle ranch. Ben and Susan had two boys, Arthur (my Grandfather) born
18995 and Jessie, (born 1898). There may have been a half sister, Lucille as
well. For reasons unknown, Bennajah disappeared, and Susan's brother, Tom Hyatt,
from Michigan adopted the boys, although they kept the ROWLEY name. What
happened to Susan after that is unclear as well.
About 8 years after
disappearing, Bennajah returned to Kansas, to a Mr. SHARP's ranch, a neighbor
next to where Ben and Susan had lived. He only stayed a few days and was well
dressed and with a good horse. He never said where he had been or where he was
going when he left. I would appreciate any information on Ben and his history. I
have much data on his descendants, but next to none on his ancestors, or Ben
himself.
