NICESCHWANDER...WILLIAMS
Dora Smith (deanae@alltel.net) 06 Sept, 2003
My grandparents and my father lived in and around Kanarado for many years. I never met my grandparents, my sisters and brothers did meet them once but I was not born yet then. They had a Soddy on the land my grandfather homesteaded there. His name was William Tell Niceschwander. My query is about one of the sisters of my dad (the one I'm name after) Dora Anna Neiceschwander Williams b. 9-10-1900 Jamestown, Cloud, KS. I have been unable to trace where she was buried. I know she died 12-23-1918 in a flu epidemic and her husband died on 9-11-1918 in that same epidemic, but all I know about him is his name Glen Williams. Also is there an Obit for William Tell Niceschwander who died 9-22-1943 in Kanarado, Ruth (cook) Niceschwander died 7-28-1949 in Goodland, Royle (Roy) Tell Niceschwander died 11-15-1972 in Kanarado, Esther Lillain (Niceschwander) Mount, Roy Edmond Mount died 6-25-1973, Phillip Austin Niceschwander died 6-27-1962.

We are currently researching the FREEMAN that resided in the Goodland area in the early 1900âs and would like to find someone, living in the Goodland area, to assist us in our search and in obtaining document copies. Our family data includes the following:
1. Fern Lee FREEMAN married Loren Clark CARY, February 14, 1927 in Goodland, KS. (Need a copy of marriage record)
2. Fern Freemanâs grandfather, Bruington L. FREEMAN , homesteaded land 1912
(S 1/2NE quarter of section 8 in Twp 6S of Range 37W 6thPM) Sherman Co., KS
We have a copy of the BLM land record. Need copy of deed of sale or any related documents.
3. We can find no record of Bruington L FREEMAN (aka=B L) or wife Elizabeth (Gordon) FREEMAN after 1912; we wonder if they died and were buried in Goodland?
Need death certificate/burial records and probate/wills, if any
4. Bruington L. FREEMAN had a son named Robert A. FREEMAN. LDS records indicate a Robert A. FREEMAN resided/died in Goodland in 1951. We believe they are the same person. Need death certificate/burial records, if any.
Please notify us of usual costs incurred for genealogy research and or data copies. Thank you in advance for any help that can be provide.
