I'm looking for any information about my grandfather, Bill Ives. His fathers name was Bert Ives. Bert was a jeweler in the town of Osborne. He had 5 children (that I know of) Mary, Audrey, Ancel, Bill, and Jerry. His wife was killed in a car accident, I don't know her name. He remarried to a lady named Bertha(possibly).

Then on my grandmothers side, her father was Harry Rush Mitchell. He worked for the RailRoad, His wife was Mertle M. Mitchell, Maiden name Shaffer. Her father was Morrison P. Shaffer and mother Ellen Collings. Harry and Mertle lived in Downs. They had 4 girls, Sylvia, Pearl, Viola Beatrice, and Blanch. Sylvia and Pearl were born in Kansas and Bea and Blanch were born in Colorado. I'm not sure what year they moved to Colorado, maybe between 1902 and 1908. Bea is my mothers mother, Sylvia lived the longest, she died in January 1997.
I would really like any more information anyone could provide about any of these people. Thank You, Angela Bashaw
