Still looking for information on
John R. Taylor b. Feb 18, 1879, Hawkins Co., TN, d. Gem Co., ID

Married
Rachel B. Page Jun 26, 1900 Scott Co., VA, b. Oct 05, 1885, Scott Co., VA, d. Apr 02, 1950, Hawkins Co., TN

Children:

Albert Franklin Taylor b. Apr 05, 1905 Clinchport, Scott Co., VA d. Aug 23, 1982 Hanover, PA

John R. Taylor abandoned his family abt. 1905 before Albert was born and went to Gem Co., Idaho.

The1920 Gem Co., Idaho Census has a John Taylor and a Mary Taylor with four children Pearl 9, Richard 6, Clifford 3 ½ and Dorothy 2 ½.

The1930 Gem Co., Idaho Census has a John Taylor and a Mollie Taylor with three children Richard 16, Clifford 14 and Dorothy 12.

I’d like to know if this is the same John R. Taylor and when did he die.
Is his Wife Mary or Mollie and what was her maiden name or did they even marry?

I suspect it is because his Brother, Robert Winefield Taylor and family is living near by and their Father, James Sion Taylor is living with him.

Thanks for your help.
I would like to contact some of their descendants.

Women's Clubhouses in Gem County

payettecounty — 2 Feb 2007 1:08:29 GMT

We are celebrating the 80th Birthday of the Portia Club Clubhouse in Payette County this year and are researching how many other women's clubhouses are still in existence around the state. Women's clubhouses were buildings owned by women's groups to hold meetings, fund raisers, and participate in club activities. Many women's clubhouses were converted from homes and some were actually built with money raised by women's groups. Even if it is no longer in use we would like to add it to our list of clubhouses around the state. Please let us know if there are any women's clubhouses in Gem County. Thank you for your help!

James T. Lambert obituary lookup

Nina — 27 Nov 2006 2:37:29 GMT

I was wondering if someone would do an obituary lookup. I had a great-uncle that was in Gem Co. Idaho on the census of 1920. He died in April of 1942. He was born Feb. 8, 1882 in NC. I think his wife's name was Leota and he committed suicide I was told, or I assume since he died of gunshot. I had never heard of this person till I received a genealogy report from my aunt and she had his name and dates. I have no other information about him. It is possible that he died somewhere else, but I thought I would take my chances that he is there.

Thanks

Rev. C. L. Walker Weds Emmett Girl

A quiet wedding affair is reported from Emmett which occurred Wednesday when Miss Blanch Fowler, a teacher in the Emmett Schools, was married to Rev. C. L. Walker, pastor of the First Methodist church at this place. The wedding ceremony was performed at the home of the bride's parents by the Rev. J. D. Gillilan superintendent of the Boise district Methodist church, being assisted by Rev. A. E. Quinn, pastor of the Emmett Methodist church. Only members of the families and immediate friends of the participants were present.

Both the bride and groom are well known in Emmett where Mr. Walker held a charge before coming here, about two years ago.

The "newly weds" arrived here Wednesday afternoon and were greeted by many friends, who welcomed them to Fruitland, where they will make their present home.

WALKER - LOW

jinnyc_1 — 3 Mar 2006 7:38:37 GMT

I know there are a lot of Walkers in the Emmett area as my sister is married to one.
Therefore I was wondering if any researchers may have worked on the following Walker. Here is some of what I have after 4 yrs. of research.
1747 William Walker brought JOHN LOW over from Ireland as an indentured servant. Yet I think both were origannily from Scotland and he shipped out from Ireland.
The first thing they do is each buy a jug of rum. Than they build a mill. It seems that this Walker and maybe Low are mixed up with the Youngs and this mill ends up with the YOUNGS in Virginia.
William Walker is killed by indians out on the frontier(Monongalia area?)
and his widow marries James(John?) Stewart (Stuart).
I think this is the same John Low that is trying to get paid from James Dunlap and later as more soldiering. I think this is my John Low father of my William but because of common names cannot prove it as yet. I need to discern if this William Walker is the same as the walker that is many court cases at that time. Thank you.

FATAL SHOOTING AT EMMETT

Jealous Husband Takes Vengeance on Supposed Distroyer of His Home.

Thoms Hamilton, proprietor of the Idaho meat market at Emmett, was shot to death in front of his place of business by Albert White Monday morning. White gave himself up at once and was later taken in charge by the sheriff from Caldwell.

The shooting occurred a few minutes before 8 o’clock and was caused by the alleged attentions of Hamilton to Mrs. White. White met Hamilton on the morning of the tragedy and after a few words drew his revolver and fired, instantly killing Hamilton. After Hamilton fell White fired a second shot into the body of the prostrate man and coolly walked away, giving himself up to the officers.

Hamilton was 36-years of age and was well known around Emmett. White is a new comer in Emmett and with his wife has been engaged in the restaurant business there. Hamilton was unmarried.

Examination of Hamilton’s body was made shortly after the shooting and a revolver was found upon it. The weapon was inside his trousers and the handle was covered by a jumper. Whether he made any attempt to draw the weapon is not known. White refused to talk of the affair after the shooting beyond saying that he had to do it.

A dispatch from Emmett to the Statesman under the date of June 29, says that the preliminary hearing of White for the shooting of Hamilton was then in progress at that place and that it was very probable he would be bound over to the district court.

Cemetery in Montour

Margaret Ernest — 5 Aug 2003 2:46:35 GMT

The death certificate for my gg grandmother, Angeline West Lee, states that she was buried in Montour, Idaho. The obituary says that she was buried in the Brownlee Cemetery. My aunt thought that the cemetery might have been flooded out when a new dam was built (in the fifties, I think), but she has confused some of the other information, so I am not sure if she is correct.

Angeline Lee died in 1921.

Does anyone have any idea where the cemetery is located? Has its name changed?

Thank you,

Letha Young Man Killed

John Russell of Letha was so seriously injured Thursday evening that he succumbed to his injuries. He was the 17 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. L. R. Russell. Mr. Russell is the blacksmith of that town. The accident took place on the Moses Hess farm, where the unfortunate young man was working. He had been mowing that day and was on has way to the Hess home when the accident occurred. In using the mower it was necessary to lengthen the tugs of the horses harness. When the horses were hitched to the wagon the young man forgot to shorten the tugs. The result was that the tongue of the wagon dropped from the neck yoke and the team becoming frightened ran away. Young Russell was thrown over front of the wagon when it went into a ditch and the wagon ran over his body and death resulted three hours later from injuries.

John Russell was an industrious young man of good habits and well thought of in the Letha neighborhood. His untimely death is a sad blow to his parents and the deep sympathy of the community will go out to them. The funeral was held Saturday and burial was in the Bramwell cemetery.

Note: According to the Idaho Death Index, John Sheldon Russell was born 8-30-1900 and died 9-20-1917.

rweir42 — 4 Jun 2003 11:00:40 GMT

I'm new to this on-line geneology stuff, but have always been interested in it, due to my family's almost obssessive concern with their past. Anderson Walker was my great, great grandfather, Thomas Walker, his son, my great grandfather. Tom's daughter, Verla Walker White, my grandmother. I have been to the Walker Cemetery several times, although I live in Washington, not Idaho. Does anyone know more about Anderson Walker, when he came to Idaho, what his profession was, who his parents were? I'm interested in his nationality--was he Scottish? That's what my mother, his g. granddaughter, has always told me, but we have no real proof of that. I'm wondering how long ago the Walkers migrated to the US. Anderson Walker must have many descendents in the Emmett/Ola/Sweet area of Idaho. My grandmother's husband was Logan White; both he and Verla are buried in Payette, as is Isabel Cramer Walker and Thomas Walker, her parents. I'd be interested in any information about this family, especially about Anderson Walker.

newspaper lookup 1941?

NormDawson44 — 13 Jun 2004 1:35:13 GMT

Hello; I am researching a diary written in Homedale to try to identify the writer of the diary. She used pet names for her family, but I found that her daughter got married in Emmett on 1 Sept. 1941. Her pet name was Don (Donna, Donnella etc. ??? ) and she married someone named Ed. Hopefully Ed was really an Ed, or there weren't too many marriages in Emmett that day. In any case, if anyone would be able to look up the newspaper for a wedding report, either on 1 Sept. or in the couple of days to either side of the date (for upcoming marriage or recently married notices), I would greatly appreciate it. This is an interesting diary - the writer recorded every expense, along with prices and small occurences of the day, but not as much personal ideas or information as usual. She is making it difficult to find her :)
