deaths
Elizabeth BROOKINGS, Lot #957, Space 2, East Field. Kearney NE.....Date of Death   10-10-61.(1860 or 1960?)...Age 80 years....Cause of Death:  "Ventricular Fibrillation" That's all the records have,, but then I knew of an Edwin R. DUNTON, and he's buried in that same East Field...............He died 12/29/80, but he died since I'ive moved here, so that means he died in 1980
