- I am interested in finding people connected to SMITH, JENSEN, REED, HOLDRIGE, AND HUNSICKER people who lived in and around Webster County, Inavale, Red Cloud, and Cowles, Neb., in the late 1800's to early 1900's, some still live there. At my grandparent's wedding in or near Inavale, NE., at the Jensen Farm, a family by the name or reference of GRANDPA AND GRANDMA HOLDRIGE were simply listed as guests at the wedding, no doubt my relatives, but do not know who they are, the wedding was for LEWIS FRANKLIN SMITH AND LEONA ELENOR JENSEN who was married in Webster County, NE., on Oct. 30, 1907. Would anyone know who the HOLDRIGE family might be? Please email me at sdvcl@aol.com Thank you. Virgel C. Law
