Do you think you can find an obit for his wife

Dorothy Lavonne Ziermer Goheen died Nov 09, 2009 in Bouler. She is buried in Fort Logan.

If you can find an obit I would appreciate it. I looked at the obits on the library site but they don't have the year 2009.

Re: Help Locating Jefferson County District Court Case File

paigefrank77 — 2013-01-19 21:11:47Z

It is difficult to make someone give you what they say they do not have. I would think that with the case being that old, it would have been transfered to the Archives.
You might consider rechecking and making sure the county clerk gave you the correct case file number.
Also, did they say they did not have it there or could it be stored off-site w/ other files?

Help Locating Jefferson County District Court Case File

mhoganfamily2 — 2013-01-18 20:38:27Z

Hi Everyone,

I desperately need some help or some help from someone who knows how to deal with the Colorado State Archives. I am trying to locate a case file of a relative from 1923. Now I have spoken to the County Court and they gave me a file number and names for the case, but when I went to the State Archives they said they didn't have it, but the County Court swears they do. Can someone help me? I'd appreciate everything.

Thanks,

Re: Free Thomas, Olive Lyon, Jessie Hogan & descendants

DonBOYD35 — 2012-10-13 16:46:30Z

EXCELLENT -- thank you so much, Dorothy! This branch of my Kirkendall kin has been very challenging -- thanks to you I now have Free Thomas' birth and death dates, and burial location for him and his mother. I guess the old family information was correct after all, if very non-specific.

I do not recognize Emma Ellmaker Beaumister's name. I found her in the 1880 census, at Spencer Creek, daughter of Byron and Martha Ellmaker. Byron was a blacksmith, born in Pennsylvania (or possibly Iowa - the censuses are not consistent on this). I find her listed in the 1900 census, Elmira, living near a brother Enos Ellmaker. She is listed as "d" (divorced), 3 children born, all still living, but I only see two sons living with her. I find her listed in the 1910 census at Zumwalt, with the two sons. Her son Herman, age 26, is shown as widowed. She indicated she was the mother of 3 children, all still living. After I found the second wife of Free Thomas (see below) I don't see any family relationship with the Beaumisters -- Emma's birth location and parental profile is different from Caroline K. Thomas. The only remaining possibility being some relationship with the deceased young wife of Herman, but I can't think what it could have been.*

* Caroline K. Coyle/Thomas was born in Pennsylvania 1854. Byron Ellmaker was born there abt. 1841 -- but I found the Ellmakers in 1860 at Richardson, Lane Co., and Caroline was not from this family.

Free Thomas was previously married to a Jenny and had at least 2 children with her, back in Nebraska and Colorado. I found Free Thomas in the 1910 census, married to Caroline K. Thomas for 7 years, with 3 stepchildren. I found the widowed Mrs. Thomas in the 1920 census living at Portland. She was first married to a Coyle, apparently in the early 1880s. I found her widowed in the 1900 census in Denver, with 4 children. The first two were born in Wyoming and the last two in Colorado. The deceased Mr. Coyle was born in Canada.

I really appreciate your help -- if you turn up anything further, please let me know, and thank you. Further genealogy and some images are on my web site:

Hello, Your Free Thomas (Jr.) & his mother Olive Lyon are buried in the Eugene Pioneer Cemetery, Eugene, OR, in unmarked graves. Thanks to your post, I now know of their connection to each other.

According to the available records, Olive was born 1838, died in Eugene, OR 5 Jan 1911. Her son Free made the burial arrangements.

Free Thomas was born 4 Jul 1854, and died 30 Dec 1916 in Eugene. He was an architect; burial arrangements were made by Mrs. C. K. Thomas; he was married.

Would you know of a connection to Emma Alice Ellmaker Beaumister (1861-1919)? She is buried in the same group of graves, purchased by Free Thomas.

This is all I know. I hope this helps.

Sincerely, Dorothy Brandner, Eugene Pioneer Cemetery Assoc.

Sgt. Daniel Webster Kline, Civil War Soldier

caayler — 2012-09-29 18:49:24Z

I recently came across research on Rootsweb regarding Sgt Daniel Webster Kline, 1844 - 1938. I am gathering information on Sergeant Kline and am searching for existing descendants to help me with my search.

This Civil War soldier is one of many I am working on. The purpose of my research is to make an accounting on their contributions and sacrifices they made during Civil War and here in Colorado where they have their final resting place.

I am the grave registration officer for the Centennial Camp 100, SUVCW in Denver, CO. Sgt Kline is buried in Crown Hill Cemetery, Wheat Ridge, Jefferson Co., CO. Recent cemetery rules have changed and are interfering with a Congressional edict. These new rules have made inquiry requirements to have permission from a living relative to obtain grave site locations. If this soldier does not have a grave marker, it then becomes my duty to get a miltary marker from the Veterans Administration free of charge. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Best regards.

Hi Judy, Thanks for checking the 1940 Jefferson County, Colorado census for Jack and Amanda Nelson. I was wondering if you might have access to the 1940 California census records?? I know that Amanda died there in 1957 in Alameda County, California and was listed as Amanda Johnson, so she evidently had remarried.

And Also, I would go to

There is a name associated w/ these two. If you take that name and search the Doughty's in Arvada (in the white pages) you come up w/ a VERY close match.

Mr. McBride, I am a great great granddaughter of Ella McBride Rubey. Her son Jesse (not spelled Jessie as you have it) was my great grandfather. Jesse Rubey was twice mayor of Golden, Colorado and purchased a home for his mother there. His daughter Ruth (my grandmother) was born in Golden. I know very little about Ella but I do know something about her parents Julia and Ebenezer McBride and her sister Albina McBride Woods who also was a great great grandmother of mine. Jesse happened to be married to his first cousin Julia Stone Woods (Ruth Rubey's mother). I did know Jesse Rubey when I was very little. He was a wonderful man and I loved him very much. My mother Julia Dennis was Ruth's daughter. I assume you are my cousin and I send you my best wishes.
