From Nebraska-
A mystery surrounding a stained-glass window in North Platte drew the attention of a historian from South Dakota last week.
Barbara Johnson of Aberdeen, South Dakota, has studied stained glass for years. On Thursday, she spent hours visiting with local residents and researching the history of the Episcopal Church of Our Savior.
She was specifically interested in a stained-glass window in a chapel on the south side of the church. The image depicts Jesus walking with a boy and a girl.
According to a framed description inside the church, the glass was donated in 1894 by Arta Cody, a daughter of Le Claire, Iowa-born frontier showman William “Buffalo Bill” Cody. It was created in honor of Arta’s siblings Kit, who died when he was 5, and Orra, who died when she was 10.
