Karl's Genealogy

The Widow Emma Fogle Homesteads in NE

**** Karl, for Emma Eliza Parsons death you show:

"Died : 9 Mar. 1910   
 place: Morrill, Sioux (now Scotts Bluff) Co., NE" 

[Karl you are WRONG]
...the homestead was [and still is] in the Sheep Creek community in Sioux 
County. You may not be able to tell it on a map... but Henry, Nebraska, 
is due south of the Sheep Creek community, and as you drive through Henry on 
Highway 26 you are in Scotts Bluff County, but if you turn off to the north 
on Henry's main street or on the highway that goes north to Sheep Creek you 
will depart Scotts Bluff County after the 2nd house on the 1st block of main 
street, or a comparable distance on the highway north to Sheep Creek. 
[I learned that little tidbit when I was a census enumerator for Sioux and 
Scotts Bluff Counties in the 1990 U. S. Census ;-) ]
