Obituary. Blair Enterprise,
7 Feb 1935. Jens B. JENSEN Victim of Paralysis. Very Well
Known Co Farmer Stricken Three Weeks Ago. Three weeks ago Jens
Black JENSEN, well known and highly respected citizen of this Co
suffered a paralytic stroke from which he never recovered and which caused
his death on Wednesday, February 6. Deceased was born in Hamill
Denmark, on February 11, 1858, and thus lacked but five days of being 77
years of age at his death. He came to Omaha in May, 1882 and then to
this Co where he engaged in farming making this home with the exception
of four years which were spent in Douglas Co. In his forty-nine
years as a resident of this Co he was known as an upright, honest and
industrious citizen, respected for his truth and fidelity. He was
married to Miss Anna JENSEN, May 10th, 1887 and to them ten children
are living, six daughters and four sons: Mrs. Sena WULF, of
Orum; Soren JENSEN, of Herman; Hannah JENSEN, of Blair; Chris
E. JENSEN, of Blair; J. Emil JENSEN, of Tekamah, Nebr.;
William JENSEN, of Blair; Mrs. Elinore KASTL, of Blair; Mrs.
Mabel SCHAFER, of Herman, Nebr.; Mrs. Esther SCHENCK, of Blair
and Stella J. JENSEN, of Blair. Also 16 grandchildren and 1
great-grandchild. He is also survived by five brothers and one sister:
John, of Denmark; Anton, of Colome, South Dakota; Chris, of Winside, Nebr.;
Magnus, of Winside, Nebr.; Fred of Winside, Nebr. and Mrs. L.E. NIELSEN,
of Wahoo, Nebr. In his early life in Denmark he was confirmed in the
Lutheran church but later in this country he became a member of the Blair
Congregational church over thirty years ago and he lead a life entirely
consistent with its teachings. He was also a member of the I.O.O.F. of
Blair. Funeral services will be held at the Baptist church on Friday
at 2 p.m. with Rev. A.W. NEWELL officiating assisted by Rev. T.J.
REESE and interment will be made in the Blair cemetery. His death
following so closely after the death of his son-in-law Frank L. SCHAFER,
makes the burden of grief almost past human ability to endure and The
Enterprise extends sincere sympathy to the bereaved relatives.

Obituary. Blair Pilot-Tribune,
8 Sep 1938. Mrs. WULF Dies Here At Age 83. Prominent
German Woman Raised Family Alone After Mate Died. Mrs. Wiebke WULF,
83, well-known German resident of the community since 1876, who raised her
four daughters and two sons from childhood after her husband's death half a
century ago, and at the same time developed extensive farmland holdings,
died Sunday at her home, 408 west Lincoln street. Death was attributed
to infirmities of old age. Mentally alert and physically active almost
to the end, Mrs. WULF only two weeks ago had observed her birthday
anniversary. As Wiebke PETERS she was born at Rendsburg,
Bentenburg, Germany, August 23, 1855. She came to Washington Co
March 28, 1876 with Detlef WULF, who had come here previously to
establish a homestead in Lincoln township and then returned for his bride.
Their marriage was performed here on April 3, 1876 by the Rev. H.C. Jul
FRESE, sr., German Lutheran pastor, who was the father of the present
pastor of Trinity church here. A number of years later, with farm
debts still outstanding, Mr. WULF died. Her children ranging in
age from three to 12 years, Mrs. WULF undertook the task of raising
them and at the same time paying off the farm debt. That she was
successful was shown by the fact that when she retired and moved into Blair
30 years ago, she had not only cleared the debts on the home place but also
had acquired considerably more valuable land. Mrs. WULF is
survived by two daughters Mrs. Henry KUHR and Mrs. Charles REEH,
and by two sons, Detlef and Fred WULF. A daughter, Mrs. Andrew
JENSEN died four years ago. Also listed among the survivors are
16 grandchildren and 20 great-grandchildren, all living in this vicinity.
Mrs. WULF, confirmed as a member of the German Lutheran church while
a girl in Germany, had been a member of Trinity Lutheran church here during
her 30 years of residence in Blair, and had been active in affairs of the
Ladies Aid. Because of the large number of persons desiring to attend
the funeral, the services were held at First Methodist church yesterday at 2
p.m. The Rev. H.C. Jul FRESE officiated and burial was in Blair
cemetery. Pallbearers were six grandsons, Albert KUHR, Clarence
KUHR, Bernard WULF, James WULF, Freddie WULF and
Harland JENSEN.

Obituary. Blair Enterprise,
8 Sep 1938. Aged Settler, 83, Buried Wednesday. Came to Co
in 1876. Dies at the Age of 83 Years. Mrs. Wiebke WULF,
another of the early settlers of this Co, passed away Sunday, September
4, at the age of 83 years. She was born in Germany August 23, 1855 and
when only twenty years of age came to this Co, landing here on March 28,
1876. Shortly after her arrival she was married to Detluf WULF,
who had homesteaded in Lincoln township. Mr. WULF had made the
trip back to Germany for the purpose of bringing her to the new country and
thus on April 3, 1876 they were married by Rev. H. FRESE, father of
Rev. H.C. Jul FRESE, present minister of the Blair German Lutheran
church. The young couple immediately went farming and were happy in
their efforts to build up a home on the prairie. About fifty years ago
the husband died but the wife and their six children remained on the farm.
She not only reared them all to maturity but managed in the meantime to buy
and pay for another farm of 160 acres. Thirty years ago she retired
from the farm and moved to Blair where her declining years were spent in
peace and comfort. She was a good mother and a good neighbor and her
friends were limited only by her circle of acquaintances for to know her was
to respect her. She leaves in her immediate family three daughters,
Mrs. Henry KUHR, Mrs. C.C. REEH, Mrs. William F. KUHR
and two sons, Detluf and Fred all of Blair. One daughter, Mrs. Andrew
G. JENSEN died four years ago. Also surviving her are sixteen
grandchildren and thirty great grandchildren. Funeral services were
held Wednesday at 2 p.m. from the Methodist church with Rev. FRESE in
charge and interment was made in the Blair cemetery.

Obituary. Blair Enterprise,
21 Aug 1941. (Lois's father) C.X. HANSEN Died Suddenly Last Friday.
Teacher In Dana College For Forty-Four Years. Highly Honored.
Three Times President. Professor C.X. HANSEN, highly respected
citizen and beloved by all who knew him and a member of the faculty of Dana
College since 1897, died suddenly at his home last Friday of a heart attack.
Chris X. HANSEN was born on a farm near Lyons, Nebraska, November 8,
1869, the son of Niels and Marie HANSEN. Having shown early
indications of aptitude for intellectual pursuits he became a member of the
first student body at Trinity Seminary, Blair, Nebraska, during the school
year 1887-1887. Later he entered Midland College, Atchison, Kansas,
for a full Liberal Arts Course. Upon his graduation in 1897, he
returned to Blair to enter upon his life work as instructor and
administrator in Dana College, his own church school. In 1898 he was
united in marriage with Miss Ida HULTBERG of Oakland, Nebraska.
No less than three times was HANSEN called upon to assume
administrative duties as executive head of Dana College and Trinity
Seminary, these periods covering the years 1908-14, 1919-25, and 1936-38.
His services to the cause of Christian education were recognized in 1921 by
the conferring upon him of the degree of L.H.D. by his Alma Mater, Midland
College, now located at Fremont, Nebraska. After recovery from a
serious illness a few years ago, Dr. HANSEN was able to continue his
work as head of the Department of Education at Dana College without
interruption to the last. Death came to him suddenly on the afternoon
of August 15 as the result of a heart attack. His age was 71 years, 9
months, and 7 days. Left to mourn their loss are the widow; two
daughters, Mrs. E.E. GUSTIN and Mrs. Bernard WULF of Blair;
five sons, Harold and Ernest of Omaha, Eliott of Camp Roberts, California.
Winston of San Antonio, Texas; and Paul, present registrar of Dana College;
also two brothers, Tom of Rosalie and Andrew of Lyons, Nebraska; three
sisters, Mrs. Minnie HULTBERG of Blair, Mrs. Will PETERSEN of
Bayard, Nebraska, and Mrs. Willard MOWRER of Pasadena, California as
well as a host of devoted friends and former pupils within and without the
United Danish Evangelical Lutheran Church throughout the land. The
funeral services were held Monday at 2:30 p.m. from the home at which time
Rev. Erhardt NIELSEN of Jacksonville, Iowa, assisted and at three
o'clock at the First Lutheran Church in presence of between 400 and 500
people the services were continued with Rev. Harold C. JORGENSEN
officiating. Brief talks were made by Rev. L. SIERSBECK,
representing the college; Dr. J.P. NIELSEN, representing Trinity
Seminary, and Dr. N. C. CARLSEN, representing the United Danish
Lutheran Church. Others making talks were Dr. L.W. BOE,
president of St. Olaf College; Dr. W.F. RANGIER, Midland College and
Western Theological Seminary; Rev. Paul M. LINDBERG, president of
Luther College of Wahoo, Nebraska; and Rev. H.W. BONDO of Albert Lea,
Minnesota. Music was furnished by John W. LINK at the organ and
Mrs. Paul NYHOLM of Blair and Robert HOGZETT of Emerson, Iowa,
rendered several vocal solos. The choir of the First Lutheran Church
of Blair and a quartet of ladies sang at the home and at the grave.
The pall bearers were Dr. C.B. LARSEN and Rev. Paul NYHOLM of
Trinity Seminary; Prof. H.F. SWANSEN and Prof. S.M. THOMSEN of
the College; N.T. LUND of the board of trustees and Ed GILBERTSON,
a neighbor for many years. During the funeral rites the business
houses were closed in honor of the man whom all had learned to hold in the
highest respect for his sincerity of purpose, his high plane of living and
the example that he had set in the line of Christian duty. Burial was
made in the Blair cemetery.

Obituary.
Blair Enterprise, Mar 2003. Nadene M. WULF, 88, of Blair, died
Sunday, March 30, 2003, at Immanuel Hospital in Omaha. Funeral
services were Thursday at Country Bible Church in Blair. Interment was
in the Blair Cemetery. Nadene Marie WULF was born July 15,
1914, in Lenox, Iowa, to Ralph and Jennie (HANNAH) PEARCE.
She moved to the Blair area in 1926. She was a 1932 graduate of Blair
High School. On May 17, 1933, she married James WULF in Red
Oak, Iowa. He preceded her in death in 1984. Mrs. WULF
continued to live on their farm in the Orum area until moving to Blair in
1989. Mrs. WULF was an excellent cook, seamstress and loved to
do embroidery. She had the talent of making things beautiful.
For many years, she enjoyed decorating wedding, birthday, graduation and
many other types of cakes. She enjoyed making special birthday cakes
for her own children as well as her grandchildren and relatives. Many
people will remember her for making their wedding day special with a
beautiful cake. She was a great cook and was always the roll baker for
family dinners, and always made a couple of extra dishes of food to make
sure there was plenty. She also had a green thumb and could grow
anything. Her plants thrived and she always had her flowerbeds
full. On the farm, one of her favorite things to do was have her
coffee on the patio and just observe the beauty of the fields, watched the
finches play, the hummingbirds feed and admire her flowers. She had a
loving heart and was very giving of her time and talent. Mrs. WULF
also had a very strong faith in God. She was a quiet person, never
complaining through the last years of her life. She endured
much. She was also very independent and rarely asked for help.
She is survived by her daughter, Bonnie BAKER of Omaha; three sons
and a daughter-in-law, Robert and Eleanor WULF, David WULF,
and Rodney WULF, all of Blair; 10 grandchildren and 11
great-grandchildren. In addition to her husband, she was preceded in
death by sisters, Violet ROUSE and Darlene SMITH; a brother,
Donald; and a grandson, Jamie STERNER. Campbell-Aman Funeral

Article, Blair Enterprise, 17 Feb
1966. Blair's "Mr. Centennial." Saturday, February 12,
was a big day for Mr. L.P. SKOV, of the Good Shepherd Home in
Blair. That was Mr. SKOV's 99th birthday. Mr. SKOV
is
in
very good health. He can walk about his room, ride his wheel chair
down to the dining room each day for meals and take care of himself quite
well. With a big smile Mr. SKOV commented about his advancing
years by saying, "God treats me nicely. I know Him and He knows
me." He likes to watch television and still reads the newspapers,
magazines and books. Each morning he does all of the exercises he can
right along with "That TV fellow." His hand is steady enough
to write letters to his many friends in this country and his native
Denmark. He shook his head and admitted, "I have to look up some
of their names and addresses now. I just can't seem to remember all of
them." As the Enterprise photographer was ready to leave Mr. SKOV
said, "I'd like to have you come back next year to take my picture when
I'm 100." Our comment is that we will be more than happy to take
another picture next year. It is already marked down in the calendar
book. As far as this newspaper knows Mr. SKOV will be the only
person in Washington Co who will be 100 years old the same year as the
State of Nebraska. Mr. SKOV should be the honored citizen of
Washington Co during the Centennial year of 1967. Pictured above
Mr. SKOV looks over one of the many birthday cards he received on his
99th birthday. Mr. SKOV has three children still living in this
area. They are Mrs. Soren C. JENSEN of Blair, A.J. SKOV
of Blair and Iford SKOV of Alta, Iowa.

Obituary. Washington Co Pilot-Tribune
& Enterprise, 21 Jul 2008. Howard F. KUBIE, 96.
Washington Co native Howard F. KUBIE, 96, died Friday, July 18,
2008. Private family services were held July 21, 2008, at the Liewer
Funeral Home in Imperial. Graveside services at the Cemetery will be
held at 10 a.m. Wednesday, July 23. Howard F. KUBIE was born
Feb. 26, 1912, on the family farm near Herman to Fred and Marie (BEHRENDT)
KUBIE. He attended rural school through the 10th grade and
attended Herman High School, graduating in 1929. During his high
school years, a favorite pastime was baseball. After graduating, he
played baseball in the Eastern Nebraska Baseball League, on the Herman
team. He was an avid baseball fan throughout his life. In the
1930's in addition to working on the family farm, he worked for the
government, measuring fields and selling government crop insurance when it
first became available. In 1939, he married Leola JENSEN.
They lived in Herman, where he was employed by the Tyson Company, a John
Deere dealership. When World War II made it difficult for formers to
get machinery, he moved his family west of Herman and took up farming
again. In 1950, the family moved to Blair. He purchased a
half-interest in the Tyson Company which, in addition to John Deere
equipment, was a Chrysler, Dodge and Plymouth dealership. During this
time, he was the Co chairman for the ASC office, a position he held for
nearly 20 years. In the 1960s, the dealership was sold, and Mr. KUBIE
became the manager of the Tyson Grain Elevator. He retired in 1977,
and he and his wife enjoyed many fishing trips and playing cards with
friends. He took pleasure in political discussions, following the
latest developments in farming, and keeping up with current events.
Following his wife's death in 1995, he moved to Imperial to be near his
daughter and her family. He enjoyed life at Imperial Heights, meeting
new friends through afternoon pitch games in the dining room. He got
great pleasure in keeping in touch with his friends and family in Blair by
devotedly reading the Blair newspapers. He was a 50-year member of the
United Methodist Church. He is survived by his daughter and
son-in-law, Kay and Lloyd HAZARD of Imperial; two granddaughters and
their spouses; six great-grandchildren; sister, Esther HANSEN, and
sister-in-law, Janet NELSON, both of Blair. In addition to his
wife, he was preceded in death by a sister, Florence TRIPLETTE.

Passed Away at the Wise Memorial Hospital in Omaha Friday P.M. Funeral
Held Monday. Mrs. Emmet BOLT, whose condition was reported in
these columns last week as very critical, passed away as peacefully as she
would fall asleep at 1:20 last Friday afternoon at the Wise Memorial
Hospital in Omaha, where she had been taken Friday night of the week before.
The doctors were somewhat puzzled as to just what the exact trouble was but
there was a congestion of the ileum from inflammation of the gall bladder of
a nature that an operation wasn't advised. The congested condition was
beginning to clear up when pneumonia set in in one lung and she was too weak
to throw it off. The funeral service was held at the Congregational
church at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon, Rev. A. F. NEWELL officiating.
The music furnished by a quartette composed of Mrs. J.B. SPELLMAN,
Miss Mary COOK, H.H. BROWN and the writer, with solo by G.L.
DIXON, Miss Jeanette McQUARRIE at the piano. The church
was crowded and many had to stand during the service. There was a
wealth of beautiful flowers, showing the love and respect in which Mrs.
BOLT was held by all who knew her. Mr. NEWELL paid a very
fine tribute to her as a wife, mother, neighbor and friend. She had
been a member of the Congregational church for a good many years and was
faithful and devoted in her attendance and duties whenever able. Mary
Jane ROSENBAUM, daughter of Samuel ROSENBAUM and Elizabeth
O'BRYAN, was born near Marlon, Va., April 22nd, 1864, so was 63 years, 8
months and 15 days old at the time of her passing. In early girlhood
she was confirmed in the Ebenezer Lutheran church near Marion. She was
married to Emmet BOLT of Wythe county, Va., at Chilhowie, Va. April
27th, 1887, and they came to this country that fall establishing their first
home near Kennard. The following spring they moved to Blair, which has
been their home ever since, Mr. BOLT being engaged as a carpenter and
builder. Nine children were born to them all of whom, three boys and
six girls are living, Elizabeth, Mrs. Lloyd PILCHER, of Albion, Neb.,
raska [sic], Guy, of Council Bluffs, Ia, Carrie, Mrs. Chris E.
JENSEN, of Blair, Wilma, Mrs. D.C. GILL, of Tekamah, Carl of
Schuyler, Neb., Dr. W.J., of Tekamah, Evelyn, Mrs. Frank WILSON, of
Blair, Helen and Ruth, who live at home. Mrs. BOLT was one of a

preceded her in death. The surviving sister and brothers are, Mrs.
W.W. WASSUM, of Lodgepole, Neb. Wm. H. ROSENBAUM, of Kennard,
Joseph E. ROSENBAUM, of Missouri Valley, Ia. Chas ROSENBAUM,
of Albion, Neb., and Samuel M. ROSENBAUM, of Gooding, Idaho.

Unfortunately Donald slipped as the truck began to move, catching his hand
between the sheller and the truck. He hand was badly lacerated and the
tendon of one of his fingers was cut, though not severed. The hand was
dressed immediately at the Blair hospital and, if no further complications
set in, Donald will soon be fully recovered. Donald seems to be having
a run of bad luck lately. Late in April he was working in the field
when a storm came up and he ran for a shed closing his eyes against the wind
and the rain. For that reason he did not see that a piece of tin
roofing had blown loose and was hanging across the doorway and he ran into
it, badly cutting his face.

the Baptist Church of Blair on Tuesday afternoon, for J. Emil JENSEN,

Rev. Thomas J. REESE of Jefferson City, Iowa, a former pastor of the
Blair congregation was in charge of the rites. Interment was made in

body beneath it. The son of Mrs. J.B. JENSEN and the late J.B.
JENSEN, he was born on a farm west of Blair, June 14, 1894. He
was married to Anna GOLDBORG of Arlington on May 2, 1917, and to
their union three children were born, all of whom survive. They are
Mrs. Maxine METZLER of Waterloo, Iowa, Wilbur JENSEN of
Madison, Nebraska, and Jack JENSEN of Leon, Iowa. Also left to
mourn his passing are the wife and his mother; three brothers, Soren
JENSEN of Herman, Chris JENSEN of Blair, and William JENSEN

Obituary. Baltimore Sun, 22
Jan 2001 by Heather DeWAR. Russell CHRISTENSEN, 73, Navy
veteran, teacher, law clerk, real estate manager. Russell E.
CHRISTENSEN, who began his working life as a teacher in a one-room
schoolhouse in South Dakota and ended it as a law clerk to one of Maryland's
most distinguished judges, died of lung cancer Wednesday at his Towson home.
He was 73. The native of Wynot, Neb., had a varied career. He
also had been a World War II Navy seaman, a real estate manager for Phillips
Petroleum Co. and an assistant to historic preservationists in Annapolis.
His wife, the former Nona KASTL said the couple's 51-year-marriage
began with an introduction worthy of a Spencer TRACY-Katherine
HEPBURN screwball comedy: In a freshman Engllish class at a small
Lutheran college in 1946, she hauled off and slugged him in the jaw.
"I had very long hair and it always fell over the back of my seat," Mrs.
CHRISTENSEN explained, "and the boys in the class were always trying to
tie an eraser or a pencil in my hair." One day, she felt a sharp tug
and looked down to discover that someone had cut off a large piece of her
hair. "I was so upset, I turned around and swung at the first person I
saw. It happened to be him," she said. As she hollered
accusations, the quiet Navy veteran said nothing -- the only one in the room
who kept his peace. "It got so rambunctious that the professor said,
'Class dismissed,'" she said. The next day, Mr. CHRISTENSEN's
younger brother confessed that he was the malefactor. "I felt it was
my duty to apologize to this guy, so I did," Mrs. CHRISTENSEN
recalled. "He said, 'I forgive you, but you have to buy me coffee
every morning for the rest of the semester.'" She did, and they were
married in 1949. That year, Mr. CHRISTENSEN transferred to the
University of South Dakota, graduating with a degree in education and modern
languages in 1950. His first teaching assignment was at a rural
one-room schoolhouse. He later became an English teacher and principal
at Centerville (S.D.) High School. In the late 1950's, Mr.
CHRISTENSEN went to work as a real estate manager for Phillips Petroleum
Co., negotiating the purchase of gas station sites for the growing company.
In 1961, he was transferred to Baltimore, where he scouted for station sites
throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. At the same time, Mr.
CHRISTENSEN studied at Mount Vernon School of Law, which later became
part of the University of Baltimore. After earning his law degree in the
late 1960's, he worked on land acquisition for the state of Maryland.
In 1973, he became assistant chief clerk for Judge Robert C. Sweeney, the
late chief judge of the District Court system and an architect of the
modernization of Maryland's court system. Mr. CHRISTENSEN
continued to use his real estate expertise on historic preservation
projects, his wife said. One of the transactions he worked on was the
transfer of Annapolis' Brice House, described as "the most beautiful house
in Colonial America," from a bankruptcy court proceeding to Historic
Annapolis, Inc. Mr. CHRISTENSEN was a skilled amateur
woodworker, who built scaled-down roll-top desks for his children and
exquisitely detailed doll furniture for his grandchildren. A funeral
service was held Saturday. In addition to his wife, he is survived by
a daughter, Lisa KELLY, and a son, Eric CHRISTENSEN, both of
Towson; two brothers, Cecil CHRISTENSEN of Davidson, Mich., and Gary
CHRISTENSEN of Sarasota, Fla; two sisters, Lorraine LINGERT of
Sarasota and Wanda DAVIS of Milton, Iowa; and five grandchildren.

Obituary. Blair Pilot-Tribune,
23 Apr 2002. Wilma KASTL, 100. Funeral services for Wilma
KASTL, 100, of Herman, will be 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, April 24, 2002,
at the Herman Community Church. Interment will be in the Herman
Cemetery. Mrs. KASTL died Saturday, April 20, at the Tekamah
Nursing Center. Visitation will begin at 9 a.m. Tuesday, April 23, at
Campbell-Aman Funeral Home in Blair, with the family receiving friends from
5 to 8 p.m. Wilma E. KASTL was born May 11, 1901, in rural
Herman to William and Mary Alice (PACKWOOD) LOWE. She
began her teaching career at age 17, and taught at Golden springs,
Jefferson, Crawford, and Rose Hill schools for nine years, in and around the
Herman and Decatur area. Following her marriage to Ray KASTL on
Feb. 12, 1927, in Logan, Iowa, she stayed at home as a wife and mother
to her children. During a teacher shortage in 1944, Mrs. KASTL
went back to the classroom and continued teaching in Vacoma, Broderson,
Herman public and New England Schools until 1960. She stayed in her
home until 1999, when she moved into the Tekamah Nursing and Rehab
Center. Mrs. KASTL's daughter noted that, "in the last 100
years, Wilma has seen the advent of electric lights, telephone, radio,
automobiles, air transportation, washing machines, electric irons and stove,
indoor plumbing, hot water in general use, space exploration, computers,
TVs, VCRs, two World Wars, and three other military
involvements." She is survived by her daughter, Nona CHRISTENSEN
of Baltimore, Md., two grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Raymond, Son, Ray "Bas"
Jr.; four brothers; and one sister. Memorials are suggested to the
Herman Legion Auxiliary, Herman Community Church, or St. Francis Borgia
Catholic Church scholarship fund. Campbell-Aman Funeral Home in Blair
is in charge of arrangements.

Court Case. In 2001-2006.
Nona K. CHRISTENSEN. Baltimore, MD. In the United States
District Court for the District of Maryland. Nona K. CHRISTENSEN
v. Phillip Morris, Inc., et. al. Civil No. CCB-01-3117. This
compiler has been unable to identify a final outcome in the case. The
case was, at one point, decided in favor of Giant Foods, a distributor of
the cigarettes causing Russell CHRISTENSEN's cancer.
Subsequently, that decision was vacated and the case was remanded to the
Circuit Court. And there it seems to have ended. I can find no
subsequent decisions in the case.

We visited the cemetery in June 2015 and located the grave site in Section I,
Grave 5. Graves in
the memorial parks in California are flat and set into the turf.
Left unattended, continued mowing eventually buries the stone and the grass
covers it. That is what has happened to Mabel's stone, which
is no longer visible. Frankly, this "gravehunter" hates these memorial
parks. Perpetual care does not exist - if family doesn't "dog the park"
stones just simply disappear. We left the cemetery exhausted, frustrated
and more than a little angry.

7 Feb 1935. Frank SCHAFER Jr. Succumbs to Injuries.
Injured a Week Ago as Tree Fell Striking Him Causing His Death. Frank
L. SCHAFER, jr., who last week was the victim of an accident caused
by the falling of a tree which he was cutting, passed away in the Methodist
hospital in Omaha on last Friday, February 1st. Frank was the oldest
son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank SCHAFER of this city and was born on a farm
6 1/2 miles southwest of Blair on December 20, 1897 where he grew to
manhood, living on the same farm until ten years ago when he moved to a farm
about five miles wet of Herman where he was still living at the time of his
death. On June 14, 1919 he was married to Mabel JENSEN,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jens Black JENSEN of this city and they have

Visited the cemetery in Jun 2015. The cemetery
had been neglected for years and was about one year into reconstruction.
Being a memorial park, all
the tombstones were flat to the ground and had been
overgrown with grass. The new owners were systematically trying to uncover
the stones, but had
not yet made it to the section where Harold, and
potentially Esther Marie, are buried. Thus, no tombstones could be found.
Location of Harold's grave
came from office records. Esther Marie was not
listed but that proves nothing either way, given the state of their records.

hours in the meditation of God's word, and in all her meditations her heart
always rested much upon the 15th chapter of St. John's Gospel. She is

officiating. The remains were laid to rest in the beautiful cemetery
of Craig, Neb. "A precious one from us has gone. A voice we
loved is stilled; A place is vacant in our home, Which never can be filled.
God in His wisdom has recalled The boon His love had given; And though the
body moulders here, The soul is safe in Heaven."
