Generation: 1
| 1. | Lucy Ursula WHEELER was born on 10 Apr 1831 in Clarksfield, OH; died on 16 Apr 1915 in Indianola, NE. Notes:
The research from Grandma Alice Mae Thomas Wolfe and Aunt Marjorie Wolfe Hansen says that Lucy's mother was from Ohio. However, in all of the census, Lucy gives her mother's birthplace as New York.
Her brothers, William Wallace and Lemuel (Lem lived near her in Richardson Co., Neb) gave their mother's birthplace as Ohio.
Another researcher along her brother Anson's line gives their mother's birthplace as Homer,Cortland,New York,USA 1785. This would make her considerably older than her husband Asa though.

Generation: 2
| 2. | Nettie DUNNING (1.Lucy1) died about 1934. Notes:
Nettie had a child (that was aborted) by her brother John. She was very sweet, but "not all there"
When her niece, Alice Thomas, found out about John molesting Nettie, she waited one night in Nettie's bed. When John came to the bed, Alice attacked him. According to Alice, the molestation stopped after that.
|
| 3. | Kate DUNNING (1.Lucy1) was born on 21 Jun 1857 in near Mound City, MO; died on 16 May 1931 in Indianola, NE. Notes:
According to Uncle John Wolfe, there were 10 or 12 Thomas graves of children in the cemetery at Indianola, Nebraska. He also says, Grandmother praticed abortion. When dying she asked Mother, "Do you think I will go to heaven? " This would be confirmed by the 1900 census where Kate said that she had 11 births, three living.
Ina Mae Wolfe remembers that when she was very young and the family went to Indianola for Grandma Kate Dunning Thomas's funeral, Ina broke out in a terrible rash. Grandpa Bob Thomas took her around the yard asking finding out exactly what
plants she had touched while she was out in the yard. It turned out that she had been bitten by bedbugs instead. Because of the rash, Ina was sent over to stay with Mary, the former foster child of Bob and Kate Thomas and so missed the
funeral.
"My first view of Indianola was the 25th of April '78 (1878). It was a very nice looking clean, little place-- a store, drug store, court house, a small little school house, a hotel, and a small dwelling house or two. A buffalo cow laarriated
out east of the town some little ways was a novel one to us at least.
While the size of the town was not so ________ as we had grown up in Nebraska and had seen the small places grow along with us and sure Indianola had grown. New settlers coming in the fall and the coming of the railroad made things go fast but
we must remember the school, church and Sunday school was already well laid out and the people and children as well was glad to have those things that they were well attended by those in or living near here, I sometimes think better then than
now. The added thought is to think of so many of the glad hands extended to the new comers here who have gone to the last home. While gone they are not forgotten. Now looking at the churches and nice homes and trees you have to stop and think,
has all this been done since you first saw Indianola." Kate Dunning Thomas
Kate married Robert Hanson THOMAS on 15 Mar 1883. Robert (son of Abel THOMAS and Harriet W. BLAIR) was born on 15 Apr 1851 in Galesburg, IL; died on 13 Jul 1931 in Indianola, NE; was buried on 15 Jul 1931 in Indianola, NE. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

He came to Red Willow county in 1878, where he was a mail carrier for many years. His knowledge of the topography in this country was such that he could plot every section of ground or city lot in the Red Willow area. Camp Duke Alexis Park and
C.C.C. camp near Hayes Center, was established on historical data furnished by this pioneer carrier. He eas playing cards with a group of friends in Indianola,when he suffered a heart attack that ended his life.
His wife and his sister were both named Nettie. Ina Mae Wolfe confirms this.

There were other Dubarks (also Duborko) in Red Willow County about that time. Mary is listed as a daughter of Robert Hanson Thomas in his obituary (Mrs E.H. Korb of Indianola).
Robert and Kate's daughter Alice was sickly and about the same age as Mary. Grandma Dunning took Alice to live with her and Mary was raised by Robert and Kate Thomas.
