    • Jessie Margaret Craghead, 86, of Sutherland, Neb., and formerly of Greeley and North Platte, Neb., died Saturday, July 30, at the Sutherland Care Center in Sutherland.

      She was born Oct. 21, 1918, in Brady to Evan E. and Jessie L. Jones Frates.

Shane and wife Brenda Craghead of North Platte and Melissa and husband Jeff Stryker of Bellevue, Neb.; six great-grandchildren, Jonathan, Leandra, Ryan, Cheyenne, Tucker and Colten; and numerous nieces and nephews.

      Her parents, a sister, Marjorie A. Lookabill, and daughter-in-law, Sheryl Craghead, are deceased.
