Unidentified pictures, need help

BrianEllyson68 — 21 Aug 2008 1:46:09 GMT

I know that my gggrandmother married name was Rose/Rosie Moore. She was married possibly to an Andrew Jackson or Andrew Jackson Moore between 1875-1880 in California.
Her daughter Birdie Moore (born 1880 in CA) married William Conn and had a son Adrian Stewart (Ace) Conn.
She then married George Edward Allen and had 4 girls
Juliette A Allen who changed her name to Ruth Juliette and married John Garfield McLean.
Mildred Bernice Allen who married a Purkey
Thelma Isabelle who married a Purkey
Georgia Lee Allen who married several times.
Rose's daughter Lucy Moore (born 1885 in Lake County California) married George W Amy in Dec 1903/04.
They had 4 children, two boys and two girls. I know the outcome of the boys but haven't gotten a lot about the girls yet.
The first dtr was Kathleen Octavia Amy who married a Weyant.
The second was Patricia Elinor Amy who married a Minger.
Rose had a son Charles (born betw 1880-1882 in CA) whom we know nothing about.
Rose had a daughter Jenny (born 1887 in CA) whom we know nothing about.
I have several family pictures from my late grandmother's photo albums that I can't identify and wonder if there are any distant relatives that would recognize any of these people attached below.
To our knowledge all of these pictures would have been taken in the L.A. area of California.

Berry, Caleb - Obituary

LaneyCecil — 5 Aug 2008 9:11:30 GMT

CALEB BERRY, 92
CALLED BY DEATH
IN SCOTTS VALLEY

Caleb Berry, who made his home with his son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. John E. Berry, in Scotts Valley, passed away Sunday morning. The aged man was 92 years old and was a highly respected citizen, and will be greatly missed by his circle of friends.
The funeral was held in Santa Rosa on Tuesday afternoon at one o'clock. Mr. and Mrs. Berry and daughter, Bonnie and Mrs. Berry's nephews, Howard and Wallace Hage attended the services.
Friends and neighbors extend sympathy.
Caleb M. Berry was a retired lumberman, who had resided in Santa Rosa for more than a quarter of a century prior to moving to Lakeport six years ago.
For many years Berry and his two brothers operated a small mill in western Sonoma county near the present Jenn bridge. He was widely known throughout the coast section, and took an active part in affairs in that territory until his health failed.
Born in Woodstock, New Brunswick, Canada, March 5, 1843, Berry moved to the United States more than a half century ago, the last 30 years of which had been spent in California.
In addition to his son, he is survived by three daughters, Mrs. T. Schneider of Sacramento, Mrs. G.R. Higginson and Mrs. Susie Speegle both of Palto Alto and two brothers J.E. Berry of Boonville and James Berry of Windsor.

Andrew Jackson possibly Moore married to Rose

BrianEllyson68 — 4 Feb 2008 4:41:05 GMT

I have recently found that my great great grandmother was named Rose/Rosa last name unknown but appears to be Rose/Roso/Ross/Rosa. According to my great grandmother Birdie's death cert she was Rose Rose and the father was listed as Andrew Jackson. We are assuming his last name may have been Moore, or she was married more than once.
According to two death certificates, my grandmother and my great aunt.
1)Birdie born Dec 1, 1880.
According to the marriage license she was Birdie Moore and Married William Conn/Cahn September 21, 1898 and had a son Adrian Stewart Conn (Ace/Acie/Asy) born November 15, 1898. Ace later married Gladys Helen Worsham of Nebraska, they had a daughter Dorothy Ruth Conn who was born in 1926. Ace went on to marry Irene Lewis in 1968.
Birdie then married George Edward Allen (b Jan 9, 1880) on Dec 10, 1904 in Los Angeles County CA and they had 4 daughters. Juliette A. Allen June 16, 1905 who changed her name in adulthood to Ruth Juliette Allen who married John Garfield McLean. They had several children. Mildred Bernice Allen 1912 was the 2nd daughter who married a Purkey and had two sons. The 3rd daughter was Thelma Isabelle 1914 was the next daughter. She was institutionalized in 1929 and then later married a Purkey. The fourth daughter Georgia Lee Allen was born Oct 1917, she had a few marriages but only has one daughter Carole Lee Wood who married Moe Kennedy.
2) Charles Moore was born in 1882 and was living with Rosa Moore in the 1900 census (she can only be found on the census when you type in Basa or Bosh, but family has always called her Rosa Lee. When you look at the handwriting on the census you can definitely see it could be Rose/Rosa.
3) I have a great aunt named Lucy Amy who was born to Rose Moore on Feb 27, 1885 in Lake County, California. Her death cert indicates unknown for mother and unknown Moore for father.
Lucy Moore married George Amy on Dec 10, 1904 at the same time her sister Birdie married George Allen.
Lucy and George had 4 children (Wendell, Elwin, Kathleen and Patsy/Patricia E.) Wendell and Elwin were institutionalized in 1930 and ended up on the same census as "inmates" of the institution as Thelma Isabell Allen.
4) The fourth child listed on the 1900 census with Rosa was Jenny Moore.
They are all listed as Indian and family history has alwasy said Rose was possibly Modoc. Rose is listed as divorced and it also states she had a total of 9 children, 6 of which were living at that time.
We wonder if she were married before Mr. Moore, possibly to an Andrew Jackson and if so, who and who were the children. Or if she were with Moore the entire time, when and where did they get married and what tribe is she or are they from?
Any help would be greatly appreciated

I believe this family is related to me through the Spencer County, Indiana Ferguson siblings of William's father, Philip Sheridan (Sherd) Ferguson, who was married to Emma Norton. I'd like to make contact with living descendants and ascertain if this branch is connected to me. How about a marriage lookup in Lake County around 1922-23?

COPSEY KILLED IN LAKE COUNTY FEUD GUN DUEL

Land Quarrel Results In Death Of Pioneer

A long smouldering quarrel over a bit of land blazed into a gun duel Monday at Lower Lake and resulted in the death of Weed Copsey, 80, member of a pioneer family.

After firing the fatal shot, Manuel Sensibaugh, 70 years old, walked to Lakeport and gave himself up to Sheriff Lon Kelly. He is being held at the Lake county jail on open charges, pending an investigation by Sheriff Kelly and District Attorney Howard Crawford.

Copsey is well-known in this region and is a cousin of Charles and Plea Copsey of Ukiah.

"He drew on me and I shot him in seIf-defense." was Sensibaugh's statement to Sheriff Kelly when he gave himself up.

According to the story told by Sensibaugh, the two men had quarreled for years over a parcel of land, often having wordy battles..

Monday, Copsey came over again, Sensibaugh said, and another quarrel ensued. According to Sensibaugh, Copsey drew a revolver in the course at the quarrel and fired a shot. Sensibaugh returned the shot with another from his rifle, the bullet piercing Copsey's heart.

Clarissa Murch

CHELSEYLAUREN — 20 Nov 2005 11:52:55 GMT

Hi, I am looking for any information on CLARISSA L. MURCH,
born in Vermont in 1829, father from Vermont and mother from Mass. She was a widow and a book agent according to the 1900 cesus. The 1900 census, Lake County, listed her as a boarder living with Dwitt Clinton Rumsey and his wife in Lakeport. CLARISSA L.MURCH bought and sold several parcels of land in Lake County which was purchased at tax auctions from 1888 thru 1900. It is stated that she was a resident of San Francisco in 1887 when she sold a parcel of land in Lake County. Land sold after this date states that she was a resident of Lakeport. She was not on the 1910 census, nor can I find her death. The 1900 census is the one and only time that I have found CLARISSA L. MURCH on the census in California. I believe her to be my g grandmother. I hope someone can help with this MURCH mystery that I have been researching for 16 years.

OBITUARY
MARILYN JOHNSON

Memorial services for Marilyn Eugenia Johnson were held October 14 at the Upper Lake Community United Methodist Church. Mrs. Johnson died at a Lakeport hospital October 11. She was the wife of Bud Johnson and had been a resident of the Upper Lake area for the past 25 years.

She was born in San Francisco May 14, 1930, the daughter of the late Wayne and Lillian McPhearson Eachus. As a young child she lived in Scotts Valley before moving to the Bay Area when about 10 years of age.

Through her father she traced her lineage directly to Resin P. Tucker who was captain of the first expedition sent to rescue the ill-fated Donner Party in the Sierras and Florentine Kellogg, both pioneers who settled in Napa Valley near St. Helena in 1846, and Henry Tucker, pioneer nurseryman of Scotts Valley, who established the Live Oak Nursery there in the 1890's and supplied most of the Bartlett pear and walnut stock for the orchards of west Lake County.

She was employed by the Lake County chamber of commerce from 1965 until she went to work as the executive secretary for the Clear Lake Water Quality Council, a position she held until the time of her death.

She donated much time in organizing the animal spaying program BALANCE and was working to secure a recreational center for the youth of the Upper Lake area.

While a resident of Nice she was active in the organization of the Lucerne Baptist church there.
Survivors are her husband, Bud Johnson; daughters Jayne Anthony, Edythe Brosi, Dot Williams, and Johnny Johnson of Upper Lake, and Mary Crabtree of Richmond; sisters Bobby Bass, Washington and Betty Watson, OR; uncles John Rider, Upper Lake, and Dudley McPhearson, Vallejo, and five grandchildren.

Rev. Marvin Keisler officiated at the family plot in Hartley Cemetery. Jones Mortuary was in charge of services.

Obit Lookup - Mabel Forrester Rodgers

patraney12 — 30 Jul 2004 8:42:10 GMT

Could someone help me find obituaries or burial places for my ancestors?
Orville Thomas Forrester -born Aug. 27, 1899, TX, died -Sept 17, 1965, CA. Record at CA Death Records show place of death as Covina, Los Angeles, CA and Downey, Los Angeles, CA. I see that both cities are not far from each other.
I was told Orville was a contractor that built houses in CA. and that he worked himself to death.

I am also looking for his sister, Mabel Forrester Rodgers and spouse, Roscoe Rodgers. Mabel was born Dec 4, 1895-TX and died Jun 1980-Lakeport, Lake, CA.
Roscoe was born July 11, 1890 and died March 1978-Clearlake Oaks, Lake, CA.
These two branches have been my missing links. Anything would be greatly appreciated at this point.
Thank you..........Pat
