Date: 05/29/1998 | |
Query: James W. O'BRIEN (b. c1861, Ill.; d. 1920, Kans.) listed Norton Co. as his place of residence on his marriage license (1885, Furnas Co., Neb.).
He was married to Anna J. HASELEU (b. 1864, Wisc.; d. 1937, Mich.), a resident of Furnas Co., Neb.
I am trying to find out why James was living in Norton Co., as he was from Illinois originally, then lived in Arkansas (c1885-88) and Wichita, Kans. (c1889-93) before settling in Horton, Brown Co., Kans. (c1894). James' older brother John (b. c1848, Mass.) may have been a resident of Norton; he possibly married Anna's older sister Adedaide HASELEU (b. 1858, Wisc.) in Norton Co. in 1881, and then moved to Wichita in about 1886, where Adelaide committed suicide in 1901.
Cutler's "History of the State of Kansas" (1883) names a John O'BRIEN on the Board of Directors of Norton's Town Company (est. 1873), but I don't know if this is James' brother.
Any information on O'BRIENs or HASELEUs living in Norton Co. from the early 1870s on would be appreciated.
