The Nelson Gazette, Thursday, January 11, 1961 ===================================================== Leona Lorrayne, daughter of Julia Ann and Andrew Lawson Elder, was born Aug. 18, 1861, in Eagle Corners, Wisc. After a three weeks illness of influenza, she passed away at 10 p.m. Jan. 9, 1951, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Pearl, Moss, at the age of 89 years, 4 months and 22 days. She grew to womanhood in the vicinity where she was born. In June, 1861, she was united in marriage to Samuel A. Ferebee at the home of his brother, George. The young couple started housekeeping in Wisconsin, where the two eldest of their four children were born. Leaving their Wisconsin home in the fall of 1883, Mr. and Mrs. Ferebee started to Nebraska in a covered wagon with their two small children, the youngest six weeks of age. One can scarcely imagine the trials and hardships of that long trip over the wagon trail with two babies. Relatives and friends already in Nebraska made them welcome and comfortable upon their arrival in Nuckolls county (sic), until they could get located. They settled in the Pleasant View community five miles north of Nelson. Here their two younger children were born and here they held continuous residence, with the exception of nine years spent in Furnas county (sic), Nebraska. In girlhood Mrs. Ferebee was converted and joined the United Brethren church (sic). Later she placed her membership in the Pleasant View United Brethren church (sic) north of Nelson. She enjoyed and appreciated the Sunday school and church services and participated as long as her health permitted. She was a good mother and greatly loved her home, family and community. She enjoyed meeting and visiting with her many friends. for the last six years of her life she had been an invalid, but bore the hardship patiently. Her husband preceded her in death in April 1949. Since that time she has been lovingly cared for in the home of her daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. E.H. Moss, where her presence will be missed. She leaves to mourn her passing her four children and their families: George of Eugene, Ore., Herbert, Mrs. Pearl Moss and Joe, all of Nelson; her youngest sister, Gertie of Wisconsin; 15 grandchildren, 18 great grandchildren, many nieces, nephews, and friends. Funeral services were conducted Saturday afternoon, Jan. 13 at 2 o'clock in the Klawitter chapel in Nelson by Rev. E.B. Stewart. A quartette of women, Mrs. Chas. Skinner, Mrs. Otha Skinner, Mrs. Ivan King and Mrs. Merton McCartney, old friends of the family from Angus, sang three songs: "We Are Going Down The Valley One By One," "Face To Face" and "Abide With Me." Mrs. Hubert Peters played the accompaniment. Pallbearers were E.G. Wroughton, Wm. Herrick, George Herrick, Ralph Harritt, Jack DeHart and Joe Diehl. Burial was made in the family lot in the Nelson cemetery (sic). The Nelson Gazette, Thursday, January 18, 1951
