MessageI recently came across letters and pictures from my great-grandfather, William P. Warner. Many of the pictures and letters were from their lake place in northern Minnesota, but there is also some interesting stories and pictures of early life in Dakota County. I am very interested in learning more about what I've read and finding more information about the Warner family in Dakota County.

Thanks for the great website and I hope to hear something soon.

MessageI 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!

MessageI 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.

MessageI have been trying to research the Church family. I have been told that my father-in-law was burried in the Dakota City Cememtery but I didn't see his name, Donald Ray Church and I believe he died in 1965 at the age of 23. If you have any information at all on him or his family it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Lisa P.S. Great job on the web site, it is very nice.
