by Steve Sturtevant Recently, I visited the grave of Civil War Veteran Samuel Phenice who is buried in the small cemetery at the community of Precept, Nebraska which is south of Beaver City a few miles. According to Eula Brown, who found his story in an early Times Tribune article, he fought in the Civil War and was wounded in the Battle of the Wilderness. Later he was assigned to examine soldiers' passes to Ford's Theatre and was on duty there the evening of April 14, 1865, the night that President Abraham Lincoln was shot by John Wilkes Booth. Let me quote Phenice in the account of that night.

by Steve Sturtevant Just west of Wilsonville, Nebraska is a small pioneer cemetery know as the J. O. Stone Cemetery. There are 46 people buried in the Stone Cemetery dating back to 1882. According to Robert Pore, Julius Stone first came to the area with his family in a covered wagon in 1875. He built a sod house and began to break the prairie sod to farm. In 1882 he decided to do something for the growing community and deeded two acres of his homestead to Furnas County for a cemetery that the public could use free of charge. A.A.
