Something odd about Nabers...

From the Carrol (Iowa) Times, September 1908, comes this article that Larry found....

It struck him that Nabers seem to die in twos--grandma Margaret (Naber) Janson died within three days of her sister Mary, and Joe Naber's sister-in-law became ill at his funeral and died (New Mexico).
(That account is a few posts down).

We're pretty sure Frank Adam Naber, in New Vienna, was a blacksmith.  He was born in November 1845.  John Henry Naber would have been his cousin, I think.  According to family trees on ancestry.com, the John who died in 1908 was born in 1853, but to different parents than Franks.
