Did Frederick R. Hartsock die in (?Glasgow) Valley MT? He was b.1882 in IN, moved to MT about 1919 and in 1920 was living in School District # 11, Valley with his wife, children and half sister. His wife Dessie (Hover) Harsock returned to IN where she died in 1957. [there is a note that Fred died 1944 place not given]

After Fred's father died in 1922, his stepmother and others joined him. Believe that his half sister Rembie Hartsock married David Canniff c.1920, his half brother Robert Hartsock married Mazel Hughes c.1925 and his widowed stepmother Loretta (Hale) Hartsock married Bert Olds c.1924 in Glasgow.

Is there a source for marriages and deaths for Valley Co.?

Albert Levi MURDICK-1920 Census

Louise Hanson — 1 Sep 2003 5:43:41 GMT

Would someone be able to check the 1920 Census for
Albert Levi MURDICK and wife, Lyda or Lydia? Albert died in 1922 at his home "near Glasgow." He was born in Kansas, his father was born in Pennsylvania and his mother was born in Indiana. If his children are listed with him, their names are Dorothy, Moyne and Joseph Chester or Chester. Lydia is his second wife and these are the children of his first wife. I don't know if they were living with him in 1920 or if they were back in Kansas with his or his first wife's parents. I believe that Lydia also had one or two children.

Thank you,

Floyd and Murriel (Hodshire) Cave of Valley Co. MT 1920

bbahler — 5 Nov 2004 12:21:55 GMT

Seeking information on the fate of Floyd and Murriel (Hodshire) Cave, last known to be living in Valley County, Montana in 1920.

Floyd Cave was born circa 1888 in Indiana, and Murriel Hodshire was born circa 1891. She was the daughter of John Charles Hodshire and Lethe Ellen Marion of Jasper County, Indiana.

In 1909 their daughter Lethe E. Cave was born in Clinton County, Indiana. She apparently died before 1920, as she is not listed in that year's census. Two other daughters do appear: Francis M., born circa 1915 in Indiana, and Dorothy, born circa 1919 in Montana.

None of the family can be found in the 1930 census. Floyd and the two daughters must have died; Murriel may also have died, or she remarried.

Boyd-Saunders

Catherine O'Neal — 21 Mar 2003 4:04:06 GMT

I recently came across these folks and wonder if they might be the parents of my great-great grandmother Lilly(could also be Lily or Lillie?)Boyd. She married and Englishman(Born in England and subsequently abandoned his family and returned to England), Thomas Saunders some time before 17 April 1879.

The folks I believe may be her parents are:

Robert M Boyd b. around 16 April 1816
d. 30 Jan 1868 at 56 yrs. 9 mos.14 days old
Came to MO from IA
AND

Jane C. Boyd b. around 26 May 1818
d. 8 Dec 1870 at 52 yrs. 8 mos. 13 days old
Born in OH

If any of you out there are related to these Boyds, did they have and daughters? Any with the name Lilly(Lily or Lillie) or possibly Lillian that may have been called Lilly that married a Thomas Saunders?

My Lilly had a daughter Bertha Lillie Saunders, my great-grandmother, who had a daughter, Ruth Hundley, my paternal grandmother.

I have hit many dead ends regarding Lilly who remarried(?) a man named Cortade(?), had another son, Charlie, subsequently moved with the Cortades to Oregaon and was "felled" by a tree, according to family "history."

If any of this sounds AT ALL familiar to anyone here please fell free to contact me.

Need some advice

LynetteSKleve — 12 Feb 2003 3:13:39 GMT

Hi there!

I just received a marriage certificate for my grandparents, Frank Hoerster and Gladys Lenora Roane Hoerster from Judith Basin County. On the marriage certificate it states that both were divorced before and my grandmother gives her name as a divorced woman as "Hoerster", could they have married when she was 16 years old and then divorced only to marry again? My grandfather is listed as 42 years old in 1928 and my grandmother 18 years old. Now, I have a feeling my grandfather was married once before or had a child by another woman and would like to know if this is so. The reason is because in his obit it mentions that he is preceded in death by his son, Ivan Hoerster...I never knew of a child with this name before. Frank grew up in Hinsdale, Valley County, Montana. I need some advice on where to begin. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you. Lynette Skoglund Kleve
