SEARLES (22 Sep 2006)

I am looking for information on my gg grandfather William George SEARLES. The last information I have on him was that he was living with his wife, Elizabeth, and son, George in Central, Knox, Nebraska in 1880 (US Census). However, Elizabeth passed away 2 Aug 1906 at the Nebraska Hospital for the insane in Norfolk, NE and was buried in the Asylum Cemetery on 3 Aug 1906.

William (who often went by George) was about 20 years senior to Elizabeth so I figure that he probably passed away prior to her, so either at Central or in Norfolk. However, I don't have any leads which say that is correct. He may be buried at the Asylum Cemetery, but I don't know if that is true either...

I would appreciate any assistance anyone could provide!

Cheers,
