Sam LARSEN of Rock Creek / Greenwood
I am researching the family of Eliza (Shirey) LORD. She and her husband, Winfield LORD immigrated to British Columbia circa 1894. They lived in Rossland Riding according to the 1901 census. Eliza returned to Washington by 1910 and Winfield remained with their son Elbridge until some time after 1911 when he moved to Oregon.
Son Elbridge or Eldridge LORD resided in Rossland Riding, Kettle River Valley and Rock Creek from 1899 until 1936 when he died in Rock Creek. His death certificate shows that his sister Mrs. S. LARSEN of Greenwood provided the information.
Elbridge's wife Nora Bell LORD died at the Sam LARSEN ranch in Rock Creek in 1915.
Eliza and Winfield LORD's daughter, Alvena M. LARSEN died in Bremerton, Kitsap Co, WA in 1950. Alvena and her first husband, William P. DAVIS lived in Rossland Riding between 1894 and at least 1901. I can not find them anywhere in census records after 1901.
So who is this Sam LARSEN? ... is he the hotel keeper Samuel T. LARSEN born in June 1867 in Sweden with wife Laura found in the 1911 Canadian census in Greenwood Riding?
Any information about Sam LARSEN or the LORD family will greatly appreciated.

Re: Sam LARSEN of Rock Creek / Greenwood
Hello.
It would appear that your research and mine fall in the same geographic region and time for the Kettle Valley - Rock Creek, British Columbia. My Whiting family was there in the period 1910-1927.
Perhaps your ancestors knew them? Henry Wilfred (Harry) Whiting 1874-1955, was the railway agent for Rock Creek and he and his wife Annie Mary Whiting (nee Stokes) ran the general store and post office in Kettle Valley. Harry was the chief horticulturalist for the Kettle Valley orchard projects.
I have more info on the region.
Cheers.......... Ben Whiting

Re: Sam LARSEN of Rock Creek / Greenwood
Thank you Kathleen!
Over the years I found most of this information ... however I did not know that the elder Winfield Lord remarried in 1923. He is the Winfield Lord born in Penobscot Co, Maine, son of Lyman and Lydia. Winfield and Eliza must have separated sometime between 1901 and 1906 as from 1906 through 24 Dec 1913 when she died, she was living in Spokane, WA. Winfield was still in British Columbia in 1911 according to the census (living with their son Elbridge). By Jan 1920 Winfield was in Wheeler Co, OR.
I also did not know of Walter S. Lord's marriage to Juanita Awberry. Walter and his first wife Sadie must have separated around 1928-1930. I didn't find Walter in the 1930 census but he reappeared in Denver Co, CO in 1940 with a wife named Edith Pearl (born in KS) who is 6 years younger than him ... says that in 1935 they were both living in Great Falls MT. So it appears that Walter was married three times; the second marriage must not have lasted very long.
Are you related to this Lord family? ... or Sam Larsen?

Re: Sam LARSEN of Rock Creek / Greenwood
another Walter S Lord in Great Falls !!!!!!
1930 United States Federal Census
Name:Walter S Lord
Gender:Male
Birth Year:abt 1882
Birthplace:Maine ***
Race:White
Home in 1930:Great Falls, Cascade, Montana
Marital Status:Married
Relation to Head of House:Head
Spouse's Name:Cecil Lord
Father's Birthplace:Maine
Mother's Birthplace: Maine
Household Members:
Walter S Lord 48 first married at 23 Cecil Lord 43 first married at 17, b NY aka Cecelia **************************************
Walter and Juanita are in Tacoma WA in 1932, In Great Fall MO in 1934 and in Modesto CA in 1938 US DIrectories
Walter and Sadie in Denver CO in 1920 says he is born Penn in 1880 BUT have son Winfield so assume its the right guy
Sadie and the children still in Denver in 1930 census but Walter not their but says she is married
from their son Winfield's marriage Sadie,s last name was Cresswell WInfield marrid a Doris Moots ....think I gave you that last name in the last message in a different context??
****
Walter Scott with wife Pearl in 1940 in Denver born 1880 in Penn so may not be your Walter or do you know that was his wife?
so there appears to be more than one Walter S Lord born 1879-1881, one born Maryland, one in Maine and one in Penn . don't think they can all be the same person
