I am coordinating the Schafersman family genealogy research along with Glenice Gibson,
daughter of George Schafersman of Hooper. Many Schafersmans lived in Dodge County. Years
ago I created a Schafersman Family website at
www.schafersman.com, but I haven't kept at it very well since I am so busy with my
teaching, research, and writing.
Please make me the Researcher for the Schafersman surname on your Dodge County Surname R-Z page. Please use my email address below and feel free to include the website URL above. I will be happy to accept queries, since I have fairly extensive family genealogical records going back to the first immigrants. What I don't know myself I can find out from my relatives.
Right now, Glenice and I are planning for the Schafersman family reunion in July, 2002
in Hooper to coincide with Uncle George's 91st birthday. Glenice is collecting family
stories, and I plan to put them on the web together old family photos I will scan in
Hooper. I am bringing my laptop and a scanner, and all the relatives have been asked to
bring old family photos. Also, all the genealogical information will be put on the
Schafersman family site when I get around to generating the genealogy from the data. I
have many pictures from two former family reunions in Hooper, but they need to be scanned.
This
summer, I will bring my digital camera.

Looking for info on family and descendants of CRANE, George married Mary CLEMENTS in 1875
at North Bend, Dodge Co., Nebraska. Three children were born there as well: Robert
(1880), John (1881), James (1884).
SOURCE: MEMORIES OF EDNA CRANE BOWDITCH
My mother's name was Clements. Her father and mother came over from England.
They lost a little boy while on the ship over and he was buried at sea. He was only
7 (?) and my mother said he was afraid of the sea and said the fishes would get him, which
they probably did. John's father and William's family came to the USA together in
1854. They first came to Ohio and then to Dodge County, Nebraska in 1869. The
Patrick Kelly family came from Ohio at the same time.
When they arrived at North Bend they found shelter at old Bend House and the men went scouting for land. Living quarters was quickly erected, one helping the other. The wood was purchased in Fremont and freighted out to the side hill homesite. The wood shacks had a sod lean-to addition and a low attic where the children slept. The attic let in snow in the winter and dust in the summer.
The men then went to old Military road to a Mr. Farnsworth at Ames, Nebraska., and purchased a yoke of oxen. These oxen were Texas longhorns which he had acquired from the cattle drives up here from Abilene. Mr. Farnsworth had trained them to wear a yoke and made a business of this trade. Later Patrick Kelly sold his half interest in the oxen to John Clements.
William Clements died in March 13, 1903. His homestead was where Elden Nadrchol
now lives. He didn't stay here long. He moved north of this place. Later
they moved nearer to North Bend to where the Emil Krael's live today.

Would like to find any information on my Nebraska relatives, Bower, Beebe, Howe, Hager, or
Galbraith. My father, Paul Edgar Bower was born near Fremont in 1898. His
father was Charles Bower (born in Brooklyn, NY) and his mother was Rosa A. (Beebe)
Bower. Charles' father was George Bauer, born in Germany, who changed the spelling
of his name after becoming a citizen. George's father was Nicholas and he had a
younger brother, Nicholas. They both followed George to the U.S., but they retained
the Bauer spelling. Nicholas moved to Boston, and I know nothing more of that
branch. Rosa's father was Henry P. Beebe and her mother was Lavina J. Hager, both
born in Wisconsin. They moved to Dodge county, Nebraska in the mid-1850s. In
1856, there was a severe blizzard, and one of the two log cabins the two-family settlement
had burned down. They all moved in together, sleeping on the floor. The help
of local Indians was all that got them through the winter. We visited our cousins, Bill
Howe, Henry P. Beebe, Henry A. Beebe, and George and Ella Galbraith often as I was growing
up. We visited Hagers in North Bend and Fremont, also, though I'm not sure of the
relationship.

Seeking information on the family of an ELMER CLAIR MORGAN who is believed to have been
born in Dodge County, NE. just prior to 1900. He was registered for the World War I
Draft and was living in Fremont in July 1917. He was married twice; the first marriage,
spouse unknown, produced two sons: Harold and Lyle, who are believed to have remained in
Nebraska during their adult lives. One of these sons was a professor at the University of
Nebraska (Lincoln). Elmer, who went by the name of CLAIR, was by vocation, a casket
salesman. He died in the early 1940s in or around Fremont and is believed to be buried in
a local cemetery. Any assistance greatly appreciated.

Looking for any information on this family:
Jon Månsson b/abt 1830 in Sweden (d/before 1885 in Nebraska??) wife: Sofia
Christiansdotter b/May 1833 in Sweden - d/23 March 1914/Kiron, Iowa d: Alma L. Manson
(Blominda?) b/17 Dec 1874 in Swaburg, Nebraska s: ?? in Swaburg, Nebraska Here
is what we know. Sofia Christianson (dotter) is buried in the Kiron Cemetery, Kiron,
Crawford County, Iowa. We assume she moved to Kiron between 1880 and 1885 as she was
not present for the 1880 census for Crawford Co., Iowa but was present for the 1885 and
1895 Iowa census and was listed as widowed. According to 1900 census for Crawford
Co., she emigrated from Sweden in 1871. Sofia's name appears in many pre-1900 birth
records in Crawford County as the person who gave assistance - presumption being
that she was skilled as a mid-wife.
Any information about the life of this family in Nebraska will be appreciated -
(death/birth/census/etc.). Månsson is probably spelled Manson or Monson and Jon is
probably spelled John by US spellers. One source uses the name 'Blominda' referring
to the daughter.

My "Sofia Christiansdotter" quandry is now more complex than ever. Based on recent inputs, I am not sure if the 'Nebraska Sofia' is the same as the 'Kiron Sofia'.
The 'Nebraska Alma' and the 'Kiron Alma' are the same according to the 1925 State of Iowa census which shows birthplace, date, and parents including mother named Sofia Christianson. But someone provided me with some evidence that the 'Nebraska Sofia' was still in Nebraska in 1885 and therefore she couldn't be the same person as the 'Kiron Sofia'. So, I am now assuming that I shall have to look elsewhere for Sofia.
I am still interested in learning more of the Nebraska family of Alma who married Nils Lindgren and was still living in the Kiron area around the early 1940's. I can still remember Alma driving that "huge" old blue car with silver wooden spoke wheels after her husband died in 1941. Her husband is buried in the Odebolt cemetery but I haven't located Alma's gravesite as yet. I have found no record of children.
Thank you,
