DOES ANYONE IN CAMAS HAVE ANY INFORMATION ABOUT MY BUCHANAN RELATIVES?

Burgin "Bert" Buchanan was born in Apr. 1876 pro. Mitchell Co., NC to Joseph Leonard Buchanan and Nancy Jane Hicks.

"Bert" moved, at some point, probably from Mitchell Co, NC to Idaho. There he owned a ranch in Challis. He sold that, and drove a stagecoach. He became a mail carrier.

He married Jennie ( maybe Platts?) who was b. in Utah abt 1893. Their dau. Birdina was b. Idaho abt. 1914.

1910 Bert is living with brother John Anderson Buchanan in Twin Falls, 4th precint, Idaho.

1920, Bert is living in Stanley, Custer, Idaho with wife Jennie and dau. Birdina.
Jennie's father b. Missouri and mother in Idaho per census record.

1930 Birdina, Bert and Jennie's daughter is living in Fairfield, Camas, Idaho with her 57 yr old. uncle Richard M Angel and his wife Ida (Platts?) 44 yrs old.

WHERE ARE BIRDINA'S PARENTS IN 1930 AND WHY IS SHE LIVING WITH HER UNCLE RICHARD M ANGEL AND HIS WIFE IDA? Does anyone know these people?

seeking info on Camas County homesteads

cabenboh — 17 Feb 2003 8:13:21 GMT

I am interested in four homestead claims in Camas County from the early 1900s:
Halleck Mounce (my wife's grandfather);
Ray Mounce (Hal Mounce's brother);
Francis Marion Mounce (Hal Mounce's father); and
Fred Mounce (Hal Mounce's cousin).

As far as I know, none of these men stayed in the area beyond the First World War, except for Ray, who died in 1911 and is buried in the cemetery at Soldier, Idaho. The others were all living in different places by 1920.

What I would like to discover is what happened to their homestead lands. Each man was issued a patent, and I have copies of those files, but I do not know how or when the land was sold or otherwise disposed of, and I hope that learning about the disposition will give me some better idea on when and why the men moved elsewhere.

If some kind soul has a current plat book for Camas County and is willing to do a lookup for me, I can supply the property descriptions. I would then hope to contact the current owners of these lands and ask them what shows in their abstract or deed history regarding the chain of ownership.

Or if someone is able to check the deed records at the courthouse, I would expect that the Grantor/Grantee index for the "Mo" page would have my answers in one spot, or at least would provide volume/page numbers so that I might order the documents from the county.

Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

Fairfield, 1935

Breezy66 — 2 Oct 2002 2:03:12 GMT

I am looking for information about a family "skeleton." In September of 1935, my gg-grandmother (Frances Murphy) was shot in Fairfield by Ida Angel (who was found innocent). I have one newspaper clipping and am expecting more next week. Family legend has it that she was "shot by a jealous wife, with good cause." Since Mrs. Angel was found innocent, it sounds like that was true!

I would like to correspond with someone who is familiar with the area. According to the paper, my gg-grandmother ran a hotel, but I don't know what it was called, or where it was located. Frances' father, W.C. Robinson, was from Jerome.

Any help would be appreciated.

Old Ted Edholm property

Bob Freeman — 21 Jul 2001 9:57:13 GMT

When I was a child we camped at Ted Edholm's property on Willow Creek just under Nebraska Creek. He let us build a temporary structure and had given this small area to my Dad
and Uncle verbally. It never was consumated but I would like to buy this small parcel of land if possible. I believe Ted Edholm sold his holdings to the Yore brothers who later sold it to Marshall Ashcroft. Could someone give me the name of who owns it now or the name of the title company in Fairfield
so I can track it down?
Thank you
