I have “heard” that both first and second papers for naturalization were filed in York County, Nebraska, but I have been unable to obtain copies yet.  The family lived moved to Kansas (William was a farmer) sometime before 1894 because the family is listed in the 1895 Kansas State Census for Thomas County.  In the 1900 census William was listed as working as a clerk for the district court in Thomas County, Kansas.  He died in 1903 in Colby, Kansas, and was buried in Beulah Cemetery in Thomas County, Kansas.
