Albert Garey

I first checked the Omaha city directories to see when Albert and Mary were last listed.

The genealogy room at the downtown library in Omaha has a large card catalog file with obituary clippings. I checked the file for Albert and Mary's obituaries before attempting to find them in the microfilmed newpapers. Luck was with me, as I found a card filed for each of them.

On Rootsweb's WorldConnect I found an entry for
Albert GAREY and Mary nee DOLEN. Mary's father is named as
Bernard Edwin DOLEN, her mother as Mary Elizabeth nee
CLINE. Mary's sister Catherine Jane DOLEN married S. Saxby;
her sister Anna Pearl DOLEN married John Herman BRUER; and her sister
Margaret married Frank KAMLOTH.

I pulled the microfilm reel for November 1932 to see if I could find any mention of the car accident that Debi wrote about in her e-mail. I found a photograph of the GAREY car and a short paragraph about the accident in the 20 November edition. Here is a digital photo of the microfilmed article.

Wreckage of Death Car
[Photograph of car wreckage]
This is the wreckage of the auto of Albert R. Garey, 2719 Vane St., after a collision early Sunday at Turner Blvd. and Farnam St., in which Mrs. Garey was killed and Garey was critically injured. Mrs. Garey was hurled through the windshield by the impact. The other auto was driven by R. P.Encell.
Mary's obituary shows she was interred at Holy Sepulchre cemetery. The downtown library has microfilmed indices of burials at Holy Sepulchre, but I did not find entries for either Albert or Mary. I will be doing some further checking to see if I can locate where they are buried.
Mary's mother, Mrs. Mary DOLEN, was named as a survivor, and also a sister, Miss Margaret DOLEN. From this I surmised that Mary's maiden name was probably DOLEN.
Debi wrote that Albert and Mary were married in 1930. While I was at the library, I searched the microfilmed Douglas County Nebraska marriage index to see if I could find their marriage record, but did not locate one.
After I returned from the library, I started looking for Albert and Mary in the U.S. census records.
