Edward J. Thornton was my great-great grandfather {28 Sep 1858- 5 Dec 1903}. He was buried in the Hubbard cemetery in Hubbard, Nebraska, along with his parents James Patrick Thornton and Louisa Pottgen.
Louisa Pottgen Thornton was my 3rd great grandmother. She was buried in Hubbard Cemetery, Hubbard, NE, alongside her husband, James Patrick Thornton.
James Patrick Thornton was my 3rd great-grandfather. He was born in Ireland in 1824 and died in Hubbard, Nebraska in 1887.
He is buried the small Hubbard Cemetery on a hill in Hubbard, NE. He was the first person buried there.
For some reason, I can’t find the picture of his other gravestone, in the middle of the above on and his wife’s. Instead, I will include this rubbing. As you can see, he was born in Rassan, Parish of Creggan, County Louth, Ireland on 2 Feb 1824.
This is my husband’s grandfather, Elgie Spencer Woods. I’m not sure when it was taken, but it must have been in the 1920’s.
Ethel M. Smoot {1878-1911} was a daughter of Isaac Smoot and Mary A. Baker Smoot. She is buried in Mount Washington Cemetery near Kansas City, MO.
