Stockham, Nebraska is a small town along the southern border of Hamilton County. My Great Grandpa Arthur McGrath's sister Mrs. W. Smith lived there. In this little bit of Stockham news from the Hamilton County Advocate it mentions she went to Cozad for her father's funeral. I had hoped for more. The rest of the news may be of interest to someone else.
