Beatrice Daily Sun, Beatrice, Oct. 31, 1978 Grave rubbing robbing 1, l' bt By SARAH L. BUNCE When the night is dark and the moon is full, that's the time to grab your knife and spade and head out to the graveyard. But instead of grave robbing, try grave rubbing. One can learn a lot in the graveyard from the information on the tombstones.

Keith Chambers took the Southeast Nebraska Genealogical Society for a little graveyard tour, as he explained how one can explore history. He said that graves are registered like deaths are, in case they are moved. There are many things one can learn from tombstones, and sometimes" the information can serve as -clues for further information about one's ancestors, 1 Once one finds a cemetery, one can either take pictures or make rubbings of the tombstones. Chambers said that there are five different types of cemeteries: church, for members only or open to the public; family; commercial; and governmental. A typographical map of the area will generally show all graveyards, Chambers said.

Also county maps and atlases are another source. Chambers also suggested talking to morticians. He said the cemetery record is very valuable and can give one further information on the grave. He said that records from church cemeteries can be found with the sextons. When one goes into a cemetery, one should first copy down all the information that is on the tombstone.

To make a rubbing of the stone, tape paper, such as wrapping or shelf paper, to the stone, and rub up and down the front of it with cobbler's wax or a soft crayon. Chambers said that white chalk is good to make the letters stand out for better readability. It also is possible to make plaster casts of the stones. By using foil instead of paper, rub over the foil with a soft brush, remove the foil, and then fill it with plaster of paris or casting plaster. Chambers said that small amounts of plaster, should be poured in at a time, and cautioned that too much plaster will press out the indentations.

Supreme Court. "I have known him well for over 20 yers and have complete confidence in his professional abilities, sound judgement and people oriented philosophy," Exon said. Krivosha is a 1958 graduate of the University of Nebraska Law College and is married to the former Helene Sherman of Lincoln. Since his graduation from the law college, he has been associated with the Lincoln law firm of Ginsburg, Rosenberg, Ginsburg and Krivosha.

(AP) Govs J.J. Exon Tuesday selected his attorney, Norman Krivosha, as chief justice of the Nebraska Supreme Court. Krivosha, 44, succeeds Paul White as chief justice. White announced his retirement earlier this fall. Krivosha has been a close political adviser of the governor over the years.

The deadline for appointing a new Supreme Court Justice under the state constitution was Nov. 13, Exon said. "However, since I have made my decision after completing personal interviews with each nominee, studying the individual applications, receiving the recommendations of many Nebraska citizens, and considering each of the highly qualified individuals in great detail, I am announcing today my appointment," Exon said. Exon noted that at 44, Krivosha would have "an opportunity to serve a long tenure in this important position before mandatory retirement." In announcing his selection, Exon praised Krivosha for "his prosecution Forecast Mostly upper 20s highs variable MARKETS- Local grain Grain prices paid by elevators in and near Beatrice at 8 a.m. Tuesday ranged as follows: Wheat bu.
