According to Chronicling America, only one newspaper existed in Benewah County at that time:

St. Maries Gazette-Record

Also, only the Idaho Historical Society has the year 1928.

You could try emailing the society to see if they conduct research or if they could give you suggestions:

Re: Cemetery or death record needed for Matilda Jane Babbitt

duhammon — 2012-01-19 20:10:02Z

Yes, I can. Her mother was Lucretia Grace Mann Epps Coleman. Matilda's father was George Washington Mann. He died in the Civil War. Lucretia's parents (Matilda's grandparents) were John and Elizabeth Farlow Grace. (Have no idea where or when Elizabeth died, before 1880. John died in Oregon before 1900.) Matilda Mann was born in Jefferson, Greene County, Iowa on 18 Jul 1863. Matilda's siblings were:
Ambery Mann, born 17 Nov 1860/1861 in Iowa, died 23 June 1927 in Page County, Iowa. (Have quite a bit on him.)
Rosella (Beattle) Mann (She was born out of wedlock, all explained in Civil War packet.) born 31 Jan 1868 or 1870 in Iowa, died 3 June 1943 in Stevensville, Ravalli, Montana. In 1900, she would have been married to Louis Harris. She married Louis in 1898 in Stevensville, 2nd marriage. (Have quite a bit on her and her family.)
Ben (Beattle) Mann, born 30 Jun 1873/1874 in Nebraska, died 12 Jun 1965 in Hot Springs, Sanders, Montana. (Born out of wedlock. Never married.)
Grace Marie Epps, born 20 May 1875/1876/1877 in Page County, Iowa, died 5 Dec 1933, in Creswell, Lane, Oregon. (Her father was John Epps. He was killed in Iowa. She was married at least three times.) In 1900, she would have been single. I have her first marriage in 1901 in Missoula County, Montana. She may have been going by Coleman. Her certificate for her second marriage, she lists Ben Coleman as her father.
Ben Coleman is my great great grandfather, but Lucretia was his second marriage. My great great grandmother is Telitha Jane Grace, sister to Lucretia.
Matilda was married to Frank Henderson in Page County, Iowa according to the Civil War pension packet and then was later divorced. I have not found a marriage record for them in Page County or anywhere in Iowa as yet. I know that on her marriage certificate to Sylvester Babbitt, she is listed as Minnie Henderson. On the 1880 census, I found a Matilda Henderson, age 16, born Iowa, listed as daughter-in-law. Her husband, Andrew F. Henderson, age 20, born Missouri. Both have parents as born Penn. and Ohio, but that would not be right for Matilda, but those kind of errors can occur. They are in Lincoln Township, Atchison, Missouri. Which is very possible. Matilda had family there, also.

Re: Cemetery or death record needed for Matilda Jane Babbitt

mogeneal — 2012-01-19 18:09:16Z

Hi
Trying to help you on your request, however, can you provide names for Matilda's mother, father, and sister?
Also was she married first to a Henderson?

I will be going to the library next week (after our snow clears) to check.

Have a good day

Re: Cemetery or death record needed for Matilda Jane Babbitt

duhammon — 2012-01-19 17:07:42Z

Thank you for your help. I have looked at the marriage record for Sylvester M. Babbitt and Laura Williams. You can view that at FamilySearch.org. It does not list parents for either of them.

I did see the California death listing for Sylvester O. Babbitt and have considered him, but the middle initials threw me off. I recently found that on Laura's death certificate it states that she was divorced. So, I am guessing that Sylvester and her divorced before her death.

I can find on a 1930 census a Sylvester Babbitt, born Illinois, in Arizona and have wondered if that could be him. The stating of his birth in Illinois and Iowa, I can understand. That happens alot in research, where different birth states are listed for a person on different census'. In 1880, you can find Sylvester and his parents living in Page County, Iowa. Matilda and Sylvester most likely met there. Matilda's mother and other members of the family lived in Page County, Iowa. Matilda's brother, Ambery Mann, raised his family and died in Page County, Iowa. Sylvester had a sister, Dora, that was born in Iowa. On the 1880 census, Sylvester is listed as 16, born Illinois. His sister, LouElla, is 14 and born in Iowa, along with Dora, age 8, born in Iowa. On the 1870 census, LouElla is listed as being born in Illinois.

I wish I could find Sylvester and Matilda on a 1900 census. I cannot find them, Matilda's mother, or sister on the 1900 census in Montana or in Idaho. I know that is where they have to be, but I can't find them on a census.

Anyway, thanks for helping. I sure appreciate it.

Re: Cemetery or death record needed for Matilda Jane Babbitt

ELLinSpain — 2012-01-11 13:19:37Z

slightly off subject..

in the 1920 census it states that Sylvester was b Iowa c1866 - Laura M bc1882 Michigan

in 1910 Sylvester bc1866 Iowa + Laura M + her son Laurence P Williams bc1906 in Washington - this lad later is shown as a Babbitt

there is a death in CA for a Sylvester:
Name: Sylvester O Babbitt
Social Security #: 0
Sex: Male
Birth Date: 14 Sep 1868
Birthplace: Illinois
Death Date: 15 May 1950
Death Place: San Diego

tracing this chap back to the 1870 census he is the one who was b Illinois with father Calvin & mother Mary J so think this is not your chap

have you looked at the actual entry for

Groom Last Name: BABBITT
Groom First Name: Sylvester M.
Groom Residence:
Bride Last Name: WILLIAMS
Bride First Name: Laura Madaline
Bride Residence:
Place: St. Maries
Date: 10 Jun 1908

Re: Cemetery or death record needed for Matilda Jane Babbitt

duhammon — 2012-01-10 21:14:42Z

Thank you for your reply, but the Sylvester's are not the same. I have found a marriage record and according to this record for Sylvester M. Babbitt and Matilda "Minnie" Mann Henderson, (the couple that I am trying to find info on), Sylvester's parents are Calvin E. Babbitt and Mary Jane Montauge. (Not sure on spelling of Mary Jane's last name, could be Montange, or Montonye, or something like that.) Sylvester Babbitt was 34 and was born in Woodford County, Illinois. The marriage was 11 April 1899 in Missoula, Montana.

In October 2000, Norman moved into Royal Plaza Retirement Center. The first part of January of this year, he moved to Valley Vista Care Center in St. Maries to be closer to his niece, Maxine Heuett Christensen, and her family.
Norman enjoyed hunting and fishing and also liked to spend time in his garden. He was a member of the Carpenters Union from 1945 until the day he died.
Norman is survived by his brother, Clinton Heuett of Wenatchee; his stepdaughter, Charlotte and husband Joe Zellerhoff of Lewiston; and numerous nieces and nephews.
In addition to his wives, he was preceded in death by his parents, five sisters and one brother.
Visitation is from 9 a.m. to noon Tuesday at Malcom's Brower-Wann Memorial Chapel in Lewiston and the funeral at 1 p.m. at the funeral home. Burial will follow at Lewis-Clark Memorial Gardens in Lewiston.

Be glad to send this to you,need address please.

I will look through my collection of photcopies

You can contact the "St. Maries Gazette Record" newspaper directly by emailing to www.smgazette.com or write snailmail to "610 main Avenue, St. maries, Idaho 83861".
They have all the old newspapers in thier offices and if persuaded with a few kind words may send you a copy.
I would do it for you but I am not planning on traveling to Idaho this year and I live in Agassiz B.C. Canada. Good luck!

Judy, thank you for taking the time to look up and post this information. I forwarded this information on to the Neis family and I know they are going to be thrilled at learning more about their family. They have spent years not knowing their roots. What you have done is very special. Thank you again.

Ooops! Here's another record.

A Thelma Stratton married a George Mendelknow March 29, 1929, Preston, Bear Lake Co., ID. Source: Idaho Marriage Index 1842-96. Record filed in Franklin Co., Idaho Court House, Marriage Book, Vol. 2, p. 298.

I'm not sure if this is your Velma or not. The dates don't seem to fit. There is a RAOGK volunteer in Franklin Co.

Hi,
An Albert Stratton married Maud E. Osburn Jan. 2, 1893, Moscow, Latah Co., ID. Source: Idah Marriage Index 1842-96. Record can be found in the Marriage Book, Latah County Court House, Vol. P-1, p. 265.

If you want a copy of the record, you can find a volunteer at Random Acts Genealogical Kindness. Go to raogk.org, read guidelines, choose Idaho, choose Latah Co. and choose Barbara.

In 1900 Albert, Millie and children were living in East Moscow, Latah Co., ID.
Albert E. Stratton, head household, b. SD Jan. 1866, marr 8yrs, farmer.
Millie E., wife, b. IA April 1874.
Edna Osborn but Osborn marked out and Stratton written in, b. WA, stepdau, May 1890.
Charles, b. ID Nov 1893.
Clarance, b. ID July 1895.

Samuel Stratton, father, b. NY Nov 1820, widow, farmer.

An Edna Osborn married Frank M. Shaw Sept. 28, 1915, Shoshone, LIncoln Co., ID. Source: Idah Marriage Index 1842-96. Record at Lincoln Co. Court House, Vol. 2, p. 383.

There is no RAOGK volunteer in LIncoln Co. You can do a Google search on the Court House & contact them directly. I do recommend finding this record since the index has so little info.

In 1920 Frank, Edna and daughter were living in Boise, Ada Co., ID.
Frank M. Shaw, b. UT, 24, manager life insurance.
Edna F., wife, b. IA, 25, both parents b. Wisconsin.
Maxine, b. ID, 2.
Claud Slattery, boarder.

I'm not sure if this is your Edna or not.

Sometime before 1910 Albert and Maud/Millie had divorced. In 1910 Albert and boys were living in Harrison, Kootenai Co., ID.
Albert Stratton, b. NY, 43, divorced, fireman saw mill.
Charley, b. ID, 16.
Clarence, b. ID, 14.
Frank, b. ID, 12.

In 1920 Albert and children were living in Chatcolet, Benewah Co., ID.
Albert E. Stratton, b. NY, 52, widower, logging contractor.
Charles R., b. ID, 26, logging timber, single.
Clarence A., b. ID, 24, logging timber, single.
Frank W., b. ID, 21, single, logging timber.
Lucille M., b. ID, 19, single, housekeeper logging camp.
Rest of the folks listed were boarders.

In 1930 Albert was living by himself in Chatcolet.
Albert E. Stratton, b. NY, 66, widower, farmer.

You can request a copy of his obituary from RAOGK.

A Charles Richard Stratton married Thelma Campbell 15 Jan 1927, Plummer, Benewah Co. Document filed in Benewah Co. Court House, Marriage Book Vol. 2, p. 13. Source: Special Collections, http://abish.byui.edu/specialCollections/westernStates/ .

Thelma, wife, b. WA, 21, marr @ 18.
Elmira, dau, b. ID, 1 11/12ths.

I couldn't find death information on any of these folks. There isn't a genealogy society in Benewah Co. You can contact the Idaho State Historical Society, idahohistory.net/ and they do do research.

A Lucille Stratton married R. E. Sherry 3 Jan 1928, Mackay, Butte Co., ID. Document filed Butte Co. Court House, Marriage Book Vol. 1, p. 214. Source: Brigham Young University Idaho, http://abish.byui.edu/specialCollections/westernStates .

The Idaho Marriage Index says they were married in Mackay, Custer Co., ID but the record is filed in Butte County Court House, Vol. 1, p. 214.

There isn't a RAOGK volunteer in Butte Co. but you can contact the Court House and ask for a copy.

A Glen Hederson married a Thelma Stratton Aug. 5, 1931, Preston, Bear Lake Co., ID. Source: Idaho Marriage Index 1842-1996. Record filed Bear Lake Co. Court House, Marriage Book, Vol. 2, p. 508.

You'll definitely want a copy of this record to determine if this Thelma was previously married to Albert or Charles. Use RAOGK, look in Bear Lake Co. and contact Clint.

In 1920 David, Thelma and boys Nies were living in Kootenai, Bonner Co., ID.
David V. Neis, b. ND, 27, brakeman railroad.
Thelma, wife, b. IA, 19.

Frank, son, b. ID, 6.
Ellen, dau, b. ID, 4.
Glen, son, b. ID, 4/12ths.

I couldn't find Frank and Thelma's death info. Might be because Idaho doesn't release death info unless 50 years after the death.

A Frank F. Stratton married Cora Ethel Lawyer March 3, 1948, Idaho Falls, Bonneville Co., ID. Source: Idaho Marriage iNdex 1842-96. Document filed Bonneville County Court House, Marriage Book, Vol. 9, p. 207. I think this is Frank's son.

Go to RAOGK, Bonneville Co. and request copy from volunteer listed.

Does any have information about the family of Albert Edward Stratton

Diggingformyroots — 2010-06-29 02:52:12Z

Albert and Millie Stratton are buried at St.Maries, Idaho. They had at least 4 (or more) children; Charles, Clarence, Frank and Lucille.

Frank was married to Thelma Brockway Neis. She was the mother of two children, one whom died in 1921 in Crow Wing county,Minnesota. Curiously this is the same year that Thelma and Frank married in British Columbia.

Thelma's other son, Myron Wendell Neis is listed on the 1930 census as Wendell Myron Stratton. No further information on why he was named Stratton, but Thelma and Frank went on to have children who grew up and lived out their lives in the St.Maries and Santa areas.

If you are related to any of these people listed or you can furnish information about them it would be appreciated. In particular it would be nice to find out what became of Thelma as I cannot find a grave for her. Possibly another name change?

To the decendant of Mr. Trueman, did you know Bill French of St. Maries? or the Bostwick family of Plummer??

Re: Trueman of St. Maries

chfffd1 — 2010-06-21 01:00:27Z

I am the oldest grandson of Erastus Wienman Trueman, father of John W. Trueman, who was born in 1912 in St. Maries, Idaho.

I am the only decendant still in the area. I live in Fernwood, Idaho, 20 miles upstream on the St Maries river from St. maries.

Many thanks to those who replied to my post. I have found Joseph (at birth Jacob) Otto Mosshart as late as 1943 in Emida, Benewah, ID. There the trail stops. I was hoping there might be some local evidence of his death but he might have gone somewhere on a trip or something and died there. Ah well the search continues.
