Recently, when "Unsolved Mysteries" was filming at the grave site, an old man from the area reported that the woman who was buried there was in her 30s. "Little pieces keep coming in that confirms my belief that it is my grandmother's grave," Fuchser said. "THE SEARCH has been compelling.

I don't know why," Fuchser said. Fuchser's father, the late Edwin Olson, who lived in Dakota City, said his mother boarded a train in Brookfield, when he was about 14 years oil He never saw her again and never knew what happened to her. That bothered him until he died in October 1966, Fuchser said. Fuchser began the search by writing and visiting the area where the grand- Mystery shrouds disappearance of woman in early 1 900s. By Betty Stevens of The Lincoln Star 1 An unmarked grave and an 80-year-old story about who might be buried there, the disappearance of a woman in her 30s who boarded a train and was never seen again, and cloudy streaks across current photos taken at the grave site provide the stuff of which mysteries are made.

I don't know why, Geneva Fuchser mother boarded the train. Relatives there confirmed the story about the departure on the train as well as the common knowledge that the grandmother and grandfather had dissension in their marriage.

IN 1985, a woman who described herself as a psychic came into the Fuchser's gift store. When Fuchser showed the psychic a photograph of her grandmother, the psychic immediately said, "I see a train." She also told Fuchser she would find her grandmother at a place called Ellis.

Fuchser wants to believe it contains the remains of her grandmother, but she's not sure.

The story that has been kept alive for 80 years in Nevada is that a woman and man got off the train one evening. They were arguing she was crying. They walked up the tracks. Two days later her body was found with a bullet in her heart THE UNKNOWN WOMAN was buried right where she was found. Fuchser has visited the grave three times.

A glance at my watch told me that I was 10 minutes late. The meeting was already in progress and the members were gathered around the table as usuaL I quietly took an empty seat, and everyone stopped what they were doing to look at me. As was the custom, I spoke up in a loud and friendly tone, "Hi, my name is Nancy, and I'm a compulsive overeaten" Everyone looked at me and Then a gentleman said, "That's nice, Nancy: I'm a compulsive overeater, too, but Overeaters Anonymous is meeting on the second floor tonight This is a meeting of the Coin Club."

They are all fans of yours, Abby, and never miss your column, so I hope you will print this as a reminder of their promise.

I suggest that you remind your daughter again on the drive to visit your son. When yon get there, remind the two of them while you have them together. And here's your letter just in case. I wish you well DEAR ABBY: Because you have been a good friend and booster of Over-eaters Anonymous for years, I want to share this with you.

I rushed i DEAR ABBY: My 11-year-old daughter (I'll call her Cindy) just told me that her girlfriend (I'll call her Debbie) told her that she and her boyfriend had had sex. Debbie and her boyfriend are both 11 years old! Debbie made Cindy promise not to tell anybody, so I had to swear on my honor that I wouldn't say or do anything about this. Abby, I'm afraid NOT to do anything about it but if I break my promise to my daughter and she finds out about it it will ruin the wonderful, close mother-daughter relationship we have always hal I dont know what to do.

Cindy told me the boy's name. If I send it to you, will you intervene? Or should I make an anonymous telephone call to the kids' school or to the police and let them deal with this? SMALL TOWN, U.S.A. DEAR SMALL TOWN: This is not the business of the school or the police; it's the business of Debbie's and her boyfriend's parents. Assuming that what your daughter told yon is true, punishment is not the solution. Education is.

Debbie and her boyfriend need to realize that sex is not all fun and games; along with sex should be commitment and responsibility far beyond the intellectual and financial capabilities of two 11-year-olds. Since yon and your daughter enjoy such a close relationship, urge her to try to persuade Debbie to confide In her Suggested Retail $2885 a I own mother or even in you If she cant bring herself to discuss this with her mother.

Regrettably, it can and does happen, DEAR ABBY: My husband died six months ago.

We had a wonderful life together, but we were never rich. Our son and daughter both married were aware of our circumstances and promised to pay for their father's funeral but they never did. so I paid for it which wiped me out financially. Abby, I need this money now. My husband's illness took everything we hal and my children knew this.

I have mentioned this to them many times, but so far they have ignored my hints and requests. My son makes good money, and his wife works, too.
