Re: Offspring of Chief Joseph

sweeta034 — 2013-05-14 04:58:57Z

My brother in law is a great grandson of Chief Joseph. We have also become good friends with his cousin, who is also a great granddaughter of the chief and she posesses many of his personal things that only Joseph had passed for family to keep. The tribe has been wanting to take claim of these things because the history he is so famous for. I am hoping to get the chance to view the awsome heirlooms soon. They are very proud of their heritage. Both of the people I speak of are 1/4 native...never would have thought they were related but the cousin shows some characteristics of native american features.

There is a lot about the family line of Doggett's on the Internet and it all seems to lead back to England with no connections to American Indians that I remember or am aware of. I wrote up what I know about William Carlane Doggett as a microsoft word document and would be glad to send you a copy. Contact me at neal.nbrown@gmail.com

Re: Nex Perce County Divorces (1940-1945)

RBestrom7380 — 2013-01-06 20:57:17Z

First:
The link given does not work (AGAIN JUDY?). Here is the correct:
http://healthandwelfare.idaho.gov/Health/VitalRecordsandHeal...

BUT do NOT even go there for your request...
This site only maintains divorce records filed from May 1947 to the Present.

I first looked for available information on the couple:
The 1940 Census of West Orchards, Nez Perce Co, ID
Robert H Adams, JR, age 27(1912/1913), born in ID, Service Mngr/Tin shop
Beattie L, wife, age 28, born in ID
Bobbie L, son, age 9, ID
Donna, dau, 6, ID
---Based on age, the children were probably Hendrickson.
--In the 1930 census, he was in Lewis County with his parents.
A family tree posted :
http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/860681/person/-1085827602?ssr...=
shows Robert was born 30 June 1912, married on 4 Dec 1947 (to private) and died Oct 1973 in Port Orchard, Kitsap Co, Washington. Source of death, Social Security Death Index. It had three Robert Adams deaths listed, hopefully the tree owners knew the correct person by date of birth.
---The "last residence" on the SSDI is NOT necessarily where a person actually lived or died. The Social Security Administration calls it simply the "home of record," and possibly the address where correspondence by the SSA was sent. It is not necessarily where any benefit was paid to the person, survivor, or the lumpsum death benefit (in years past, it was paid to anyone paying burial expenses, family member, funeral home, city/county, attorney; today, a living spouse). It is sometimes the location where the notification of death was sent to the SSA, sometimes where the lump sum death benefit was sent.
--So, if his son was executor, the Kitsap County address might have been correspondence to him.

I'm "assuming" Beattie of Kitsap County, married William E. Van Kirk of Grays Harbor (certificate is online at WA Digital Archives). The marriage was performed on 21 July 1945 in the city of Aberdeen, witnesses, Mrs Chester Johns and John Campbell. It was recorded in Grays Harbor County and King County.

If there is some way you can narrow down the time-frame, that helps. Between 1940 and 1945 is quite a time span. Her marriage record indicated "of Kitsap, County." His SSDI record shows "last residence" of Kitsap County (although he might not have lived there). He was in tin work in 1940, Bremerton is a navy base and a tin worker would have made money during the war. So perhaps this couple moved to Bremerton/Port Orchard after Dec 1941. I did not find his name as enlisting.

If you don't know where the children went (with her, with him, to what location)I'd suggest looking for her and children in Kitsap County (1945 [marriage], then back in time to see when she arrived). The Polk City Directories are an annual publication (except for some areas during those war years). Post a request in that county if you are not from there for directory or phone book check. The downtown Seattle Library also has the Polks for WA State, some Oregon, Idaho, CA, British Columbia. I no longer work downtown, otherwise I'd do it for you. You could post at the King County board for this assistance.

Their divorce could have been handled in either Idaho or Washington, depending on who filed. (Or, both forgot to get one...).

My "stock" answer (some don't know):

A Divorce or Dissolution is a civil case and is public record. Whoever initiates the case with a Petition, is the Petitioner, the other party is the Respondent. It is filed in the Superior Court of a county. In this case, if "could" have been filed in either Fresno County, or San Bernardino County, OR any county in the State or another State. A large number of people in Washington State file in Davenport, Adams COunty, due to the low cost and fast turnover. The Petition is the first document filed within the Superior Court Clerk's office. It is given a case number (the number types vary by court) and a title, such as: "Charles P. Miller, Petitioner; versus Geraldine Miller, Respondent, Dissolution. Every additional action following is so filed. The original filing is recorded in the "Big Book" (usually the procedure across the land). These books are usually Red in color, about 24 x 36 inches. They have handwritten entry on the date of origination (Petition), the parties involved and case type. Unless there is a microfilm index, this book would have to be reviewed.

Court Clerks are required by law to maintain court records. This 1955 case may not be still filed on hardcopy, but on microfilm, microfiche. I would bet the original file is still in hardcopy. Some Clerk's office will obtain the records and make copies of those documents within the case requested. I don't know what total information you are seeking, and that would make a difference as to what documents to request. The original petition is usually a good request. The final dissolution is usually a good document. The final dissolution doesn't really say much except the marriage is dissolved, what support payments are to be made, how possessions are to be divided and how debts are to be paid. If there were children, there is usually a statement that child care/support will be followed as to requirements of a different document concerning the children (custody, visitations, support, who makes the decisions for medical, etc).

Based on "evidence," I would start with the Court Clerk's office at Kitsap County. If someone in that county will do the research for you, that saves you money, otherwise research is $30.00:
http://www.kitsapgov.com/clerk/faqs.htm

You would want non-certified documents. Who ever researches, I'd first ask to receive just the case "Docket." Then you can decide what filings you really want. Many filings are lawyers asking for continuance due to vacations, etc. You won't need the filing saying the Respondent received notification/
summons, etc. If this was a quick case, both agreed, no support for the children, there may not be many documents. If he fought it and they had to have witnesses, court records (abuse, etc), it could be lengthy.

Hi,

Idaho publishes few of their vital record dates online and not divorce. You need to contact the Idaho Dept Health & Welfare, http:://healthandwelfare.idaho.gov/?Tabld=82 and follow their procedure. They won't release divorce records until 50 years after the divorce date but you're outside of that limit. Successful Searching!

Re: Allen W. Knepper Killed in World War II

JillNock62 — 2013-01-02 02:33:40Z

There were two recent deaths listed in the Lewiston Tribune (publication date 12/29/12) for Jess Dwane Knepper and his wife (I'm assuming) Geraldine F. Knepper. They were living in Caldwell, Idaho, at the time of their death; he on 12/25/12, and she on 12/13/12. Relyea Funeral Chapel in Caldwell, Idaho, handled the arrangements. You might find other family in that area.

Jess's age was 93; Geraldine was 96. Both are listed as being former Lewiston residents. I'm guessing this Jess may be a brother to the Allen that you're searching for.

Good morning. I am doing research on my father's military service during WWII. My father, and Mr. Knepper, joined the service together on the same day in 1942. I would like to know more about Mr. Knepper, and possibly reach out to his family. Is there any information about him that you can share? And contacts you can put me in touch with?

Re: looking for relatives/family of John Daniel Pratt

JillNock62 — 2012-10-07 01:03:27Z

Hi,

I found the house and took a couple of photos. Beautifully restored to the 1920s Craftsman style. I knocked on the door but there was no answer. I was curious if the owner knew anything about the Pratt family.

Next I went to Lewis-Clark State College and spent almost 4 hours looking at microfilm of the The Lewiston Morning Tribune. After 2 hours I finally found mention of John D. Pratt when the newspaper picked up that he had earned an award. The date it ran was 4/10/1944, the day after John had been shot down, but of course, no one "back home" knew that. The next mention was a couple of weeks later that he was missing after a mission, and then two days later it ran a picture of John and two others who were officially declared missing. I searched through June 15, 1944 but found nothing else. The library was getting ready to close and my eyes were getting tired so I quit for the day. I'll go back next week and look some more. I couldn't get a decent print of any of the articles; the regular microfilm printers are broken but should be fixed next week. I'm hoping to get good copies of the articles to send to you.

One of the articles mentioned that John's older brother, Phil Jr., was also in the Army. I just searched his name at the National WWII Memorial and found that Phil was killed on August 23, 1944 and is buried in France...within four months the parents had lost their only sons....how very sad! Here is a link to Phil's memorial:

I found him and his family in the 1930 and 1940 censuses and his parents in the 1900-1920 censuses. I don't know if you'd be interested in seeing any of those documents or not? I'm going to Lewiston tomorrow and will see if I can find anything on the old microfilm copies of the newspaper. If it's still standing, would you like a picture of the house in which he lived in 1940? I have the address (it was on the 1940 census.)

First, thank you for what you are doing to honor and remember our fallen heroes. As the daughter, granddaughter, wife, niece, sister, and aunt of U.S. Veterans, your dedication to these men's memories, moves me deeply.

This is a link to a certificate for John Daniel Pratt:

At that site, you can search by name, perhaps you'll find something on your other four veterans.

I will see what else I can find on Mr. Pratt and will be in touch with you. Do you have a specific date that he died in 1944? I would like to search the microfilm of the Lewiston Tribune to see what they carried about his death/service.

Best regards~~

Re: John Peter Wittman-died 1931

kwittma — 2012-06-23 00:37:07Z

Hi Carol - sounds like we are related! Here's what I know about John Peter Wittman (JPW) who is my great grandfather. Drop me an email if you wish to visit further (kurt.wittman@farm-credit.com):

JPW's grandmother Magdalene (maiden name unknown) Wittman was born about 1800 and was reported to have lived to the age of 105. She was born in Alsace Lorraine and in later years moved to the US and lived with her son Nicholas. Nicholas was born in 1821. He reportedly lost his wife (JPW's mother) and several children from diptheria. Nicholas moved with his mother Magdalene and three surviving children (one being JPW) to Minnesota. In 1864, they came west to Oregon with a covered wagon train. About 20 wagons left St. Cloud, MN and joined another wagon train further to the south, and all traveled West together. Some families stopped in Idaho and Washington, and some (including Nicholas & family) went on to Oregon, settling in the Gervais area just NE of Salem. Nicholas' three surviving children included: 1.) Alex Nicholas Wittman - married and lived in Central Oregon. He had 2 sons and 2 daughters and was a contractor and builder by profession. 2.)Christina Wittman - married Henry Fleckenstein, a brewery operator. They had 2 boys and 2 girls. 3.) John Peter Wittman (JPW - born 1945 in Cincinnati, OH) - As a young man of approx. 19, he served as a scout on the Oregon Trail passage noted above. JPW met his future bride Catherine Schmidt (who was traveling with her foster parents, the Jacob's family) while on the OR Trail. Catherine was about 15 years of age and became quite ill on the trip from mountain fever. (This wagon train ride must have occurred somewhere between 1864-67.) JPW married Catherine Schmidt in 1869 in Portland, OR. Once married, they settled in Gervais, OR where they operated a country store and post office. JPW also did part-time painting. According to JPW's grandson Marvin Wittman, JPW had worked in a sawmill in Gervais in the initial years after arriving in OR and severed four fingers from one of this hands in a sawmill accident. In 1879, JPW & Catherine and their five children moved from Gervais to Uniontown, WA. They bought land and also homesteaded land. Seven more children were born to them. The 10th of their 12 children was George Wittman, father of Marvin Wittman and grandfather of Kurt Wittman.

If you can shed more light on any of these parties, I would love to hear it! Kurt Wittman

Per Census records in Idaho, it shows that Conrad Steltz is the grandfather to my grandfather and that my grandfather, William McMahon, lived with him. I am trying to piece this all together, but my grandmother used to take me to Genessee's cemetery where we would visit different grave sites and she would tell me stories. Oh, how I wish I listened better now! Hope this helps! I also have letters and other information that was passed down to me that I believe is Steltz and has information in it that I can not read...

Thank you so much for taking the time to find all of this. I knew of the circumstance but not all of the details. This has given me lots of information to fill in some blanks.

His obit (if you want to call it that) is in the September 25, 1940 issue of the Lewiston Morning Tribune which is only partially readable. I have added it as one of two attachments.

I am assuming that you are familiar with the circumstances of his death, but FYI, there are a number of articles about the incident from the 22nd-24th of that newspaper, including a lengthy article on the 24th that I have linked to below. I have provided an attachment so you know where to look for it.
