I was beginning to wonder if one side of my family lied on all their records - I can't find definitive information on them. Maybe your spaceship theory has something to it... :)<BR/><BR/>In light of your addition of a shamrock and your Irish relatives, you might want to consider contributing to our 4th Carnival of Irish Heritage & Culture to be posted at Small-leaved Shamrock. <A HREF="http://blogcarnival.com/bc/submit_2848.html" REL="nofollow">Submit your parade entry here.</A>Lisahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16811771280872197611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8025948679246114989.post-67873662723377766412008-01-25T18:43:00.000-08:002008-01-25T18:43:00.000-08:00Amazing! A great post and you just never know what those posts are going to bring, do you? What a generous thing you did, Apple. Overall, this was one of the best reads I've had in a long time1Texhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17432175759270143492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8025948679246114989.post-50180657692806202742008-01-25T13:16:00.000-08:002008-01-25T13:16:00.000-08:00Apple, I think I love you a little today!<BR/><BR/>Seriously though, I am so touched that you took the time out of your day to look for my "aliens." I can't tell you what it means to me to have this information. I would definitely like to have copies of the newspaper pages!<BR/><BR/>Thank you, thank you, thank you! You are AWESOME!!<BR/><BR/>Bill and Thomas, thank you for your kind words. What started out as a silly "lark" turned out to be an amazing find! Thank you for your prompt, Bill!Elizabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03191827688514996520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8025948679246114989.post-37216604222874539772008-01-24T16:51:00.000-08:002008-01-24T16:51:00.000-08:00This is a great parade entry. Mine is going to need a fresh coat of paint or something if I'm going to be in the running!<BR/><BR/>I sometimes think I live with aliens so I thought I'd take a quick look to see what I could find.<BR/><BR/>Dennis Delaney and Nellie "Coin" were married November 12, 1894, probably in Lincoln.<BR/><BR/>The Evening News (Lincoln, Nebraska) Friday, November 16, 1894, pg 8<BR/><BR/>Column one<BR/>City In Brief<BR/><BR/>Paragraph 6<BR/><BR/>Chief Cooper received word by telephone this morning from South Omaha to look up one Nellie Coin, who worked at Mrs. Mooney’s and roomed at Tiernan’s hotel, and tell her that her brother, Henry King, was dangerously sick at South Omaha and wanted her to come there at once. The officers located the girl at Eleventh and R streets and found that it was only last Monday that she became Mrs. Dennis Delaney. She was notified of her brother’s condition.<BR/><BR/>Nellie died in Feb 1901 but I didn't find details.<BR/><BR/>Nebraska State Journal, Thursday Morning, February 14, 1901, pg 6<BR/><BR/>Column two, near the bottom<BR/><BR/>People You Know<BR/><BR/>The funeral of Mrs. Nellie Delaney will occur this morning at 9 o’clock from the Catholic church at Thirteenth and M streets. The body will be taken to Harvard for internment. She was the wife of Dennis Delaney, 943 U street.<BR/><BR/>I saved both newspaper pages and I would be happy to email them to you. fallnappl(at)aim(dot)comApplehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07193646109965731249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8025948679246114989.post-45977982906009887932008-01-24T13:56:00.000-08:002008-01-24T13:56:00.000-08:00LOL! This was absolutely fantastic. I was just about to start my "parade" post but I may abandon ship, so to speak, since I simply can't compete!<BR/><BR/>ThomasThomas MacEnteehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09925130637060406529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8025948679246114989.post-59292609718549666542008-01-24T13:30:00.000-08:002008-01-24T13:30:00.000-08:00Elizabeth,<BR/> This is a hoot!
