| Message | I am looking for information about my great-grandfather, named Daniel H. Hager. He was born in Lucky, OH on April 30, 1858. He was confirmed at the Lutheran Church in Lucky at the age of 14 years, and arrived in Dakota City, Nebraska in 1874. He married Rhoda Hammond at North Platte, NE on March 13, 1884. He apparently was a carpenter in Nebraska. He died and was buried in Dakota City. The family story is the he met Rhoda while they were both working on Buffalo Bill Cody's ranch and that he received a pistol from Bill Cody for a wedding pressent. I am looking for any information on him and his family in Nebraska. Thanks! |

| Message | I was born in South Sioux in 1928. My father was a section hand. I was told I was born in a box car. I understand box cars were used as living accommodations. Has any one done any research on the box cars? I am a retired university professor. I worked and lived all over the world. My family wants me to write my memoirs. My place of birth would be interesting to my Grand children. I would appreciate any information, or lack there of regarding box cars in South Sioux during the 1920s. There has been a number of articles in the Illinois press about immigrants living in box cars in the 1920. Thank you in advance for any response to my inquiry. |
