Alfred and Sarah from England in 1853 lived in Syracuse, New York. Cannot find death records for Alfred, he is in the 1860 census and gone in the 1870 census. Sarahs death
was in 1902. Any information would help...

I am living in Washington state as well, in Kent. My dad grew up in Utah, but came to California, where we grew up, and where much of the family still live. Let me know if you find anything more. Thanks.

Re: Lars Henry Outzen

brownswa1 — 2012-01-09 23:19:13Z

I now live in Vancouver Washington, right across the Columbia River from Portland Oregon. My grandparents lived right on main street, I am guessing somewhere about 600 S. The 1940 Census should be out and that will give a clue. I just called my mother to see if she knew, but she was not home. I will keep trying.

Re: Lars Henry Outzen

reoutzen — 2012-01-09 22:29:41Z

Thanks so much! I think this is a more extensive article than the one origially mentioned, so this is great. I'm not sure exactly which Outzens lived across from you - do you remember the dad's name? In any case, they were surely related to my family. Are you still in the Richfield area?
Thanks again for the article.

Try this link to the article in the April 17, 1920 issue of the Richfield Reaper. There is an article saying he went to Chicago for an operation.
I was raised in Richfield and my grandparents lived right across the street from some Outzen's. They had a daughter Dorothy who was my age.

I am Ryan Richard Thompson, the oldest Thompson male that I am aware of in James and Josephine's line. I am the grandson of Richard Allen Thompson and son of Richard Glen Thompson, both of which have passed. I am trying to piece together a family history archive. Any information that you can send my way would be greatly appreciated.

Nope -- not related. I had just posted this at the same board:

and I saw your post. I just try to answer messages when I can.

Re: Lars Henry Outzen

reoutzen — 2011-12-13 00:39:58Z

Thanks a bunch! I will try the google strategy. My library has some good subscriptions, but I don't recall seeing this newspaper item before, and I've never done a google search using "historic newspapers," so who knows what may surface.
Just curious - are you related somehow, or how did you happen upon my query? Thanks again!

Re: Lars Henry Outzen

eGENEee — 2011-12-12 18:02:50Z

It's a subscription newspaper database and ancestry.com will not let me cite it. :(

BUT If you google historic newspapers, it's the tenth one.

There are over 900 references to Outzen in the database (but, of course, they might not all be related.)

The obit text is:

FORMER MAYOR OF RICHFIELD IS DEATH
Special Dispatch
Richfield, April 21 -- Lars H. Outzen, who served two terms as mayor here, is dead. His death followed an operation in Chicago last Thursday, according to information received by his family. Mr. Outzen was a native of Denmark and 64 years old. Many of Richfield's most helpful statutes were invoked through his instrumentality.

Thanks - I would like to see the obit you found. Can you tell me how to get to it? I've tried the databases my library owns, but have not located it. Thanks.

Re: Lars Henry Outzen

eGENEee — 2011-12-12 15:11:37Z

Are you still looking for his obit? I found a very brief one in the Salt Lake Telegram.

Southern Utah University has digitized the following book and posted it online:

It covers the years 1856 to 1947 AND it includes photos of some of the county's pioneers!

Your mother has already been in touch with me, and we have exchanged data; she did some things with my information that I did not approve of and showed no remorse. I am well aware of her work, thank you anyway.

Re: Lars Henry Outzen

reoutzen — 2011-07-20 23:15:53Z

Thanks for sending the Illinois Sec of State link. However, clicking on the link does not work for me, nor does copying and pasting or typing it myself.

I do have a copy of the death certificate that I found in my research, so perhaps the Illiois site wouldn't have anything further anyway. The reason I am especially interested in having an obituary is that I am curious why some sources say he died in St. Louis, MO, even though the death certificate is clearly from a physician attending him in Chicago. Also, I am trying to figure out whether or not he remained committed to the LDS church, as I had heard that he had a falling out with them. Just trying to fill in some blanks and solve a mystery or two! Thanks again.

Thanks for your information. I recently found a copy of the death certificate, which indicated that the death occurred in Chicago, rather than St. Louis as I had seen elsewhere. However, I assume that any obit would have been in his home state of Utah. Lars was quite a prominent citizen, so I will try your suggestion of the library. Thanks again!

I could not find any obit but you might call a local library in Richfield or Sevier County to see if they could look up with the death date to see if there was an obit.

This is not my family. I hope this was helpful.

Looking for obituary for Lars Henry Outzen of Richfield, Utah. Died in 1920 while in St. Louis, but surely there was an obituary in Utah-have not been able to find one.

Re: Baldwin, Robinson family

...his son Caleb Clark Baldwin went to Beaver Utah and Settled.

Re: Baldwin, Robinson family

samuelsen55 — 2011-07-06 03:49:15Z

Beaver County was not settled until much later - closer to 1860.

In 1849 still concentrated in Salt Lake County with Davis and Utah Counties.

For what it is worth, Caleb died and buried in Salt Lake City. See the photo of gravemarker: http://www.utahgravestones.org/view.php?id=7669

Re: Baldwin, Robinson family

dickmac_1 — 2011-05-26 17:45:25Z

I show Caleb Baldwin born 2 Sep 1791, Nobletown, Orange, New Jersey. Died 11 Jun 1849, Salt Lake City, UT. Married to Nancy Kingsbury. Nancy born 14 Sep 1798 in Cleveland, Cuyahoga, OH. Nancy died 12 Sep 1883 in Salt Lake City, UT. Caleb's parents were Philemon Baldwin born 29 Oct 1778 in Claremont, Sullivan County, NH. Not sure of date of death but believe somewhere in Yates County NY. Mothers name was Esther but do not have a last name. Philemon's father was also Caleb Baldwin. Born 1 Jul 1720 in Killingworth, Middlesex, CT and died 5 Sep 1823 in New Haven, Chester, CT. Mother was Jerusha Parmelee born 23 May 1741 in Killingworth. Death about 1819.

I have no information on Mary Robinson. I can provide you with some history on Cabeb if you are still interested. If Mary was a sister to Anna Eliza I believe her father was George Robinson born about 1793 from Louisiana and her mother was Mary B. McCarroll born about 1795 and also from Louisiana.

Re: Baldwin, Robinson family

BaldwinAncestry — 2011-05-07 21:07:07Z

Did anyone ever find out if Caleb Clark Baldwin was actually married to Mary Robinson and if they did have children? I too am related as a 3rd great granddaughter and am trying to get a more complete history of Caleb. If anyone has any information they would like to share please do get a hold of me.

Re: James Leonard Thompson (m.) Verda Wiley, Please Help!!

foots49 — 2011-04-16 17:47:16Z

Was in a hury and failed to tell you that I also have James' headstone as was well. On his headstone LaVerda's name was shortened to Erda.

Re: James Leonard Thompson (m.) Verda Wiley, Please Help!!

foots49 — 2011-04-16 17:37:57Z

I just wanted to state that the information that I have follows what Richard gave you. I also wanted to let you know that I have a picture of her headstone, see attached.

As far a I know at this time we have no blood connection. But my great aunt, by marriage is also your great aunt by blood, Mrytle Thompson, who married my great uncle Charles Westley Bentley. Charles was an older brother to my maternal grandmother.

I have a ton of information on this line if you want that you can access by connecting to my family tree on ancestry.com.

Re: James Leonard Thompson (m.) Verda Wiley, Please Help!!

rkross47 — 2011-03-16 01:31:39Z

I believe that I have the information that you are looking for: I found James Leonard Thompson married to Laverda A. Wiley on 10 November 1923, in Greenville, Beaver, Utah. Her birth date listed is: 15 July 1903 in Circleville, Piute, Utah. The death date listed for her is: 21 October 1968 in Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah. The burial place listed for her is: East Lawn Memorial Hills, Provo City, Utah, Utah. Mr. Thompson died in Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California. He was buried in his home town of: Greenville, Beaver, Utah. There was a son listed for them, but the name for him varied slightly. The name listed was: Raymond Leon (Smith or Thompson). Laverda's second husband was listed as: John Lougy Smith. There is a whole lot of other family listed for the couple as far as parents, grandparents, great grandparents, and so on. For instance, the parents of James are: James Thompson and Josephine Dalley. The parents of the James Thompson I just gave you are: William Theodore Thompson Sr. and Susannah Allen. Josephine's parents are: James Hillman Dalley and Catherine Melissa Hulet. Laverda's parents are: Robert Andrews Wiley and Sarah Ann Geneva Dutson. Robert's parents are: James Darling Wiley and Frances Gates. Sarah Ann's parents are: John William Dutson and Caroline Geneva Jenkins. There is more information going farther back, if you don't already have it. I found the information on the new site of the LDS church. The site is: (newfamilysearch.org) My email is: rkross2@msn.com. Good Luck with your research. Richard

Re: Walter Verness Thompson

foots49 — 2011-03-14 14:32:23Z

Thanks, from your infromation I was able to figure out that he was born abt 1897 and after entering that I got a hit on the 1930 census; age did not match - had abt 1901. But that was his family with Aunt Ruby. Have one more piece of the puzzle that could lead to his partens.

Re: George William Sidwell

rkross47 — 2011-03-14 04:55:43Z

More information about the man would be helpful, since there are several people listed with the same name. The birth date of the man, place of birth, other family members such as wife, and date of marriage would be helpful. I did find a George W. Sidwell born in 1876, married to Clara Gidney born in 1872. Date of marriage is 30 May 1902 in Salt Lake City, Utah. He was born in Manti, Sanpete, Utah. She was born in Brigham City, Box Elder, Utah. I haven't found the date of death for this man. Another man, George William Sidwell, listed in the Ancestral File record of the LDS church web site, has his birth date as 13 January 1889. He was born in Nephi, Juab, Utah. He died, according to record, 3 August 1965. He was married to Lois Orilla Ewers. His father was Job Robinson Sidwell, and his mother was Rachael Sarah Wilkes. There is more information on this last man's family tree if he is the person you were referring to. I hope this helps you in your research. My email is: rkross2@msn.com if you need the rest of the family tree.
Good Luck, Richard

Re: Walter Verness Thompson

rkross47 — 2011-03-14 04:12:22Z

On a web site entitled "Western States Marriages", for the groom, I typed in Walter Thompson. It states that he married a Ruby Bentley on the date that you gave. Other information listed was an ID number for the marriage: ID#505278, his age (24) at the time, his residence: Beaver City, Beaver County, Utah. For Ruby her age(26) at the time, her residence: Parowan City, Iron County, Utah. County & State of record for the marriage was Wasatch County, Utah. The Certificate number listed is: #1560, Page 76, volume C. Good Luck with your research. Richard

Re: obit look up

i will try looking in there again but i didn't find anything the last time. i will try an advanced search. thanks for your help

Re: obit look up

foots49 — 2011-03-06 14:08:31Z

Sorry I do not have the time to do the search for you, but go to Utah Digital Newspapers: http://digitalnewspapers.org/ and do a search for Arthur, click on advanced search. (A story about the accident or his obit might show up in the Salt Lake paper)

I lived in Milford until I was five and the farm land south of town was called the Milford Flats (or just the Flats); so I would say that the farm land as you go into Beaver from the west on the road from Minersvill and Greenville would also be called the Beaver Flats.

obit look up

schlabsz1 — 2011-03-05 21:29:01Z

July 26, 1912 or 1913 Arthur Wells Ramsay was killed at the Beaver Flats. Not sure where this is and wondering if someone could look it up for me. Some of the Snake Valley news ended up in the Milford newspaper. Don't know if anyone has access to it.

Re: Minersville Obituaries

Hi Foots49,
only just back from a trip to Utah, I have a photo of William T Thompson & Susan Allen, I believe they had 13 children and I have photos of three of them Rosetta, William T jnr, & Lawrence. I also have the death certificate for William T Thompson who died Jan 10 1911.
I have photos of the head stones for both William & Susan which I took on my recent trip to Greenville. If you want any of this info please e-mail me on Greg.1962@tiscali.co.uk and I'll send them as attachments, I also have a census return, 1841, for Williams parents David & Ann.
Look forward to hearing from you,
