• Notes

  There are, however, many more variations -- Gilkeson, Gilkerson, Gilkeyson, Gilkersone, Gilchristson, Gilcriston, MacGilchrist, Gilchristoun, Gilkrisoune, Gilkcrissone, Kilkison, Kilcherson -- and the list goes on... ****************************** Shot & killed by Lewis William Wells Shot and killed by Lewis (Louis) William Wells (intoxicated), after James Gilkison tried to dissuade Wells from going and killing some other man with a rifle which James tried to push aside. James was sitting on the steps of the post office reading a letter. Wells (part native american) was sentenced 11 years of hard labor for manslaughter (except on Sundays and Holidays), served 7 years, 9 months. Indited on 5/5/1890 for 2nd degree murder in Gandy, Logan County, Nebraska. Trial on 5/6/1890 - 5/10/1890 Nebraska State Penitentiary - Lincoln, Lancaster County, Nebraska (May 1890 - February 1898) ***************************** Logan County, Nebraska queries: http://www.rootsweb.com/~nelogan/queries.html I have not run into this event at all. I would recommend contacting the Nebraska State Historical Society in Lincoln, NE. They have copies of all available newspapers. Since you know the dates of the events, they should be able to find something in the newspapers for you. They should try the Stapleton Enterprise (in Logan County), the Tryon Graphic ( in McPherson County) and the North Platte Telegraph Paper (in Lincoln County). I would think that all of them would have something in them about the events. That way if they don't have a copy of one paper, they may have a copy of another paper. Sometimes when it gets to the older papers there may be some issues missing, where they couldn't find something to copy. You can try them at 402-471-4746 or you can try contacting Andrea Faling (Bunny) at bun@nebraskahistory.org There is a charge but it has been a while since I have talked to them. Last time I talked to them it was $5 for Nebraska residents or members of the society or $10 for non Nebraska residents, plus charges for copies. But they will tell you what the charge is. Hope this helps you find the information you search. Oh, just thought of something else. They also have the old penitentiary records so you can request that they copy those records for you too, since you know who killed him and the dates he served. Good luck.
