Note – I started this post Sunday morning but became involved in getting drivers’ licenses and car tag – among other things! Good Sunday morning! We had rain overnight, but the clouds are starting to roll away. I can see blue skies peeking through. Leaving are falling – […]
Ritchey and I are now citizens of Boyle County, Kentucky! Boxes are still everywhere, but you know I can’t wait to share genealogy bits with you! Since my last post included the photo of Joshua Fry’s gravestone – from Bellevue Cemetery in Danville – I decided to post […]

Broken Bow, Nebraska, is the county seat of Custer County. The town was named for a broken bow and arrow found at an old Indian camping ground. It was platted in 1882 and incorporated as a city in 1888. A small city, it has a total area of […]
