From a clipping given to me by Connie Alsworth Barney comes this interesting story about the Elfgren Family on their way to Nebraska, 1955 I believe.

I found a couple of internet search comments about their travels, one in Northeastern NY State before arriving here in Allegany County NY on their way west.  On July 8, 1955 I found an article about mail problems of the Postal Service in trying to locate where to deliver their mail near Johnson City, NY. (http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=UA0rAAAAIBAJ&sjid=X5oFAAAAIBAJ&pg=6643%2C2658114 )

Another article tells of their travels and they got as far as Hannibal, MO.:

They still had about 400 miles to go on July 12th and they expected to reach Nebraska by about the 1st of August.
