McQueen Family, Heinemans and Andersons in Twin Falls

ScottKendall — 26 Oct 2006 4:06:04 GMT

I need your help

According to the SSDI, Wayne L McQueen died 20 April 2006. His "last known residence" was Roseville, Placer County, CA. I had tossed around the idea that he didn't live there but may have had children in the area. But I thought I would start with his "last known residence" to locate family or an obituary.

Wayne L McQueen was born near or around Kansas City, MO in 1928 to John Cole McQueen and Hazel Knipschild.

According to his mother's obituary in 2000, the family lived around Kansas City until 1965. The parents moved to Loveland, CO. Then in 1976 his parents moved to Twin Falls, ID to be near his sister, Pernecia "Pat"
McQueen Heineman. His other sister Betty McQueen Anderson died in 1977 possibly in Independence, MO. At the time of the obituary, Wayne lived in San Leandro, CA.

I am looking for any information on this family in MO, ID, CA or CO. If anyone has ran across this family or know this family please contact me.

Thanks

Anna LaVerne CARLSON Throckmorton

lindel09 — 5 Feb 2007 7:58:34 GMT

Anna LaVerne Carlson Throckmorton and Michael R. Throckmorton
[Anna LaVerne Carlson Throckmorton] was born in Twin Falls, Idaho, July 11, 1908. She received a bachelor's degree from the University of Colorado, and taught in Idaho public schools and worked for the Boise Public Library until moving to this area in 1964. Mrs. Throckmorton was active in pottery, stitchery, woodcarving, and other crafts, was a member of the South Kitsap Writers Group, and was a regular volunteer at the Sidney Art Gallery and at the Log Cabin Museum in Port Orchard. She was also a member of Alpha Chi Omega Sorority, the American Association of University Women, and Methodist Women. She is survived by two sisters, living out of state.

Memorial services for retired wildlife biologist and teacher Michael Reed Throckmorton, 78, and his wife, Anna LaVerne Carlson Throckmorton, 72, a South Kitsap craftsman, will be Wednesday at 11 a.m. at Port Orchard United Methodist Church. The couple died Dec. 11 as a result of an auto accident at Manchester Highway and Harrison Avenue.

Mr. Throckmorton was born Aug. 29, 1902, in Derby, Iowa, to James and Hattie Throckmorton. He attended school in Idaho, and following high school graduation joined the Marine Corps. He later worked his way through two years of college at Gooding College, and spent two years teaching in a one-room country school in south Idaho.

During the 1930s, he earned a degree in education at the University of Idaho. He married Anna LaVerne Carlson in Denver in 1933. Following college graduation, he worked 10 years as a secondary school teacher in Twin Falls, Idaho, but left that field due to a lifelong interest in wildlife and the outdoors, which led him to a master's degree in wildlife management from Texas A & M. Most of his working life was spent as a biologist and educator with the Idaho Fish and Game Department. He retired in 1964. The couple moved to Kitsap following his retirement.

Mr. Throckmorton was a charter member of Kitsap and Tahoma chapters, National Audubon Society, plus South Kitsap County Writing Group, South Kitsap County Active Senior Citizens Club, and the American Assciation of Retired Persons. He edited several early Kitsap family histories, and also wrote about the county's flora and fauna, with both writing projects used in county historical records.

Survivors include a brother, James Robert Throckmorton of Gig Harbor, and another brother, two sisters, two daughters, two grandchildren, and 11 nieces and nephews, all living out of the county.

Charles Henry and Sarah Crettie (Williams) McCoy

CanyonFH — 15 Aug 2006 2:06:06 GMT

I am looking for ANY information about this couple/family. The information that I have is that Sarah was born on 20 July 1905 in Tennessee (?) and died 02 April 1984 in Twin Falls (Buhl), Twin Falls, Idaho (Hopkins-Buhl Funeral Chapel in Buhl, Idaho handled her funeral). The couples home was in Castleford, Twin Falls, Idaho near a Baptist church. The couple had 4 children- Donald McCoy (dob 1925- dod 1988?), Max McCoy, Betty McCoy, and Charles L McCoy (dob 12 November 1931- dod 9 January 1998. According to my husband (Charles L's son), all the children were born in Kentucky. BUT according to Charles L's death certificate, he was born in Idaho- this is one of my many questions!!

I would like to know a DOB and place for Charles Henry MCCOY and also his Date of death (which according to my husband is 2-3 years after Sarah's). He is supposed to have gone to a retirement/senior center (in Buhl/Twin Falls area) after Sarah's death. I would like to know where they are both buried and if possible a picture of there headstones. He is my biggest wall on my husband's side as I have no information about him and his family tree!!
I have found Sarah in the 1920 US census with her father, mother, and siblings. I cannot find her with Charles Henry McCoy in 1930, by which time they had at least one child, Donald (1925). I would like to know if anyone knows where this family was at during the 1930 US Census.
Charles L(usk) McCoy was my husband's father. He had 3 children, including my husband, with Audrey "Joanne" Dimick from 1960 to 1963. He later married Henrietta Jim and had another child, unknown male. I would like to know if anyone knows how to contact Henrietta and her son. I believe they are/were in the Idaho/Nevada area.

Lots of questions, I know. I hope that anyone can answer any questions or give me any information about them.

Thanks in advance,
Melissa McCoy

LaClede Stevens

kaycee — 21 Jul 2006 12:06:22 GMT

Hello, I'm looking for information on a LaClede Stevens who died in October, 1970 in Twin Falls, Twin Falls County, Idaho. I got that information from the Social Security Death Index. I live in North Platte, Nebraska and am doing research on a murder that happened in January of 1934. LaClede Stevens murdered his wife and father-in-law. He was sentenced to 99 years of hard labor in the Nebraska State Penitentary. I have no clue when he died and if he died in prison. Could someone please look up the obit for this person and see if I have the right person. He had two brothers named Harold and Glen, plus one more brother and a sister, I don't know their names. His mother and father were divorced when he was 11 and she re-married a man named Charles Henry. His fathers initials are E.F. All that information came from the newspaper articles at the time of his trial. All the family came from Lincoln and Omaha, Nebraska for his trial. Thank you for your help. I'll appreciate any help I can get.

Prater Family Heirloom - Need Help Returning it!!

glamberson — 26 Jun 2006 7:49:19 GMT

Hello, I have an antique photo album that belonged to the family of Edwin Forrest Prater, Sheriff of Twin Falls County from 1929-1939. This album has about 30 tintypes of old family members, and the photos are labeled quite thoroughly.

These photos portray this family for 3-4 generations back, and while I am a distant family member, this should be in the hands of closer family members.

E. Forrest Prater died 22 Jun., 1968 in Twin Falls, leaving as far as I know only 1 daughter, Thelma June Prater (born c. 1915). Forrest's wife, Hettie, died in Twin Falls 11 Sep., 1985.

Also, perhaps Forrest's brother had some children. His name was Terrence Trevor Prater. He died 14 Jul., 1951 in Twin Falls, and his wife Kathryn Chapman Prater died in June, 1968 in Boise.

Could someone with access to the local paper archives, or other sources, please help put me in contact with any members of this family?? It would be a shame for this wonderful album to continue to be separated from this family.

Thank you!

Can anyone help me with finding a marriage rec for Eveline BENSON (nee BRESSMAN) and George KELLEY? They were married after April 1930 and while they lived in Elko, Elko Co., Nevada I have been unable to find a marriage rec there.

Jessie Carter DaVar 1928-1995

TRDaVarHoward — 19 Oct 2006 9:13:09 GMT

I am attempting to identify ancestors and family of my father, Jessie Carter DaVar.

He was born 1928 in Ladysmith, Rusk Co., Wisconsin.
He died 1995 in the Snake River Rehab. & Living Ctr., Buhl, Twin Falls Co., Idaho.
He is buried in the West End Cemetary, Buhl, Idaho.

He also used the names "Jess Devar" and "JC Dever", possibly others as well.

He supposedly married several times, and raised many step-children. I would be interested in hearing from his family and learning about him. My parents divorced when I was about three years old and I did not know my father.

Max Parnell — 23 Mar 2006 11:44:05 GMT

I am searching for the death date; place of burial; and copy of obituary (if possible) for Laura M. Burton who was born 21 June 1884. Her name and birthdate are engraved on a double tombstone in the Fairview Cemetery, Baxter County, Arkansas. Her husband, Lewis R. Burton, and two sons are buried in that cemetery, but no proof can be found that her remains were returned to Arkansas and buried alongside her husband. One son was killed in Okinawa in 1945. When his remains were returned to Baxter County for final interment in 1949, Mrs. Burton was shown as residing in Eden, Idaho.

Meagher 1916-1918

jktking — 8 Mar 2006 10:49:27 GMT

My Grandfather, Grandmother, and Mother lived in or around Twin Falls, Idaho
from about 1916-1918. I am looking for any information I can find on them in that area. My Grandfather's name was James Francis Meagher. My Grandmother, Maude Overhulse Meagher. My Mother, Patricia Meagher. My Grandfather worked as an auto mechanic. He had a pretty bad drinking problem, so there may be something in the police logs. My Mother would have been about 6-8 years old, so would have attended school there. They returned from Idaho to California, probably in 1918, but it may have been closer to 1920. James and Maude were divorced in California in 1926 and James disappears from California records at that time, so I am also looking to see if he returned to Idaho after 1926. Any help anyone can give me, I would appreciate it.
