I was finally able to get back to the list, with Bunny's help. I have a
little problem that maybe one of you can either help me with or send me
in the right direction. My husband's maternal great grandfather was
Charlie Priest and we have been having a heck of a time trying to find
him. Since I can't seem to find anything about his birth, I'm hoping
that I can get some information in his obituary. He died in Seward,
Nebraska on Oct. 30, 1899. He was drug (dragged?) by a horse and
killed. I don't know how common such a thing was then but surely there
must've been some kind of write-up in the newspapers. I found several
Priests in the area in the 'Nebraska Nugget' but no mention of Charlie.
Does anyone know where I could find some info?

Thanks for your help and I missed you guys!
