Re: Ezra and Eliza F Marshall family

nhunsaker — 2009-05-29 14:06:02Z

Eliza is my father-in-law's gradnmother, through her first marriage, the Cozines.

I am very distressed to hear that I may still be confused on Eliza. {grumble}{grumble}

I have many times benefitted by interracting with Marietta Stokes from Adams County Washington. She is wonderfully helpful.

I see the cousin "Becky", but that is still on a census where the other Beckey or Rebecca is listed. I am not entirely unconvinced that Eliza = Beckey = Rebecca. Can you provide more on Rebeccas's marriage and subsequent widowhood?

Sadly, the check in at the Missouri poor house lists only Cyntha's "child". Only Eliza's kids are listed by name. {grumble again} The date on this visit, where Eliza and Cyntha are named "Thurman", is late August 1895.

There is one odd piece of evidence that someone thinks Eliza's parents are Chade Deaton and Virginia Walker. I don't know the source of ef this relationship.

Re: Ezra and Eliza F Marshall family

maryshackelford1 — 2009-05-29 14:04:43Z

Eliza and Cyntha are my grandfather's aunts . His mother was Sarah Deaton who first married Arthur Cornett then Joseph Reynolds. I have been having a problem with the Louisa/Eliza name too. Louisa had an older sister named Elizabeth who was born around 1847. She is in the 1860 Rockcastle CO KY census. Rebecca and Eliza are different people. Rebecca married Thomas Arnold in 1880 and they were still married when he died in the 1920's. Eliza seems to have been married at least four times. There is also a cousin named "Becky". The whole Deaton family seems to have moved west in the mid to late 1800's

I thank you for the information. I have only been able to place Eliza and Cyntha in berryville Arkansas in 1900. Then someone from Washington state sent me death information and a picture of Eliza's grave. according to the census record Cyntha was the mother of one child and a widow in 1900 census and I know she died in 1901, I was wondering if you have any information about her child? Again thanks for the information.

Re: Ezra and Eliza F Marshall family

nhunsaker — 2009-05-29 14:03:11Z

I do not believe that Eliza (Elizabeth Francis) and Louisa are the same person. Both are listed on the 1870 and 1880 censuses. Eliza is Beckey or Rebecca, but not Louisa.

Eliza and her sister Cyntha travelled together at least to Arkansas (marrying the Thurman brothers) and to Missouri (checking into a poor house), but I see no evidence that Louisa made this trip.

In any case, good to have you on the same team. Why are you interested in these folks?

Re: Methodist Episcopal Church Records for Philpott

Hi Philpott,
It depends upon the church's policy. I'd Google Methodist Episcopal Church and see if I could find their policy.

If there is/was no policy for those years, I'd contact Eastern REgional Branch of the Washington State Archives, www.secstate.wa.gov/archives/archives_eastern.aspx, Email era@secstate.wa.gov or 509-235-7500.

There is an Adams County Historical Society, www.adamscountyhistoricalsociety.com or email info@adamscountyhistoricalsociety.com . Successful Searching!

Hi Ron-

I appreciate your response and, having looked into it since my original post here, you are correct about Spanjer now being Ritzville Memorial.

Thanks for the address of the Danekas Funeral Home. That will probably come in handy as I dig further into relatives who lived and died in that area.

A number of internments found for the Spanjer in old records were found in the Ritzville Memorial Cemetery. I would not believe they had been moved, although that is possible.

Hi Tjadena,
I've looked through the lists of Adams Co. Cemeteries on USGenWeb and WAGenWeb and didn't find Spanjer listed. However, that just means it's not on those two lists.

You can send a email to the Adams County Historical Society, info@adamscountyhistoricalsociety.com and ask them. Hopefully they'll know if it was an old cemetery that got a new name; an old cemetery that was closed and where the interred were moved to; didn't exist in Adams Co, etc.

Ezra and Eliza are buried in the Lind (Adams Co.) WA cemetery. I have copies of death certificates and obituaries for both. Also have copy of death certificate for Fay Marshall, son of Ezra and his first wife. Fay is also buried in Lind Cem.

Have Elmer D. Cozine, son of George & Viola Marshall Cozine; George W. Cozine; Isabelle Eckleberry (dau of George and Viola) and her husband Glen. Have death certificates and obits for most of them. All are buried in Lind Cem. Also Viola Cozine buried there as well, but do not have further info on her.

Trying to find information about the Eliza F Marshall who was listed in the 1910 adams co census with her husband Ezra and several children. Eliza was born in 1861 in KY. One World Tree has her as Louisa Deaton daughter of William and Martha of Rockcastle co ky. I was hoping someone could confirm this. Louisa was maried four times: Cozine, Thurman, Bedingfield, and Marshall.

According to "History of the City of Spokane and Spokane County, Washington: From Its Earliest Settlement to the Present Time"
By Nelson Wayne Durham
Published by S.J. Clarke Pub. Co., 1912
pg 471 the biography of Dave E Zent, who is the son of Daniel J Zent, Daniel died November 1908. (This is biography also lists 10 of the children of Daniel and Charlotte.) The obituary of Daniel's sister, Catherine Zent Meyer(s) Seitz in 1910 placed his death in Ritzville, WA.

I am the 3rd gr granddaughter of Daniel's sister Mary Catheren Zent and Louis Snyder, of Williamsville, NY.

Hope this helps.

Re: Seeking Information on the Neal Sullivan Family

RBestrom7380 — 2008-09-19 13:52:33Z

The first step in posting or identifying a person that you seek is to FULLY identify the person that you have interest. There were probably MANY Neal/Neil (even Kneel, a friend) that could match your criteria. You may have the below, I did not and needed it for verification process.

The 1900 Census for Martinsburg, Pike County, Illinois
Katy, Sullivan, head, born June 1859 in illinois to both parents born in Ireland, a Widow, mother of 7 all living
Mary E, born April 1880
Charles L, Oct 1885
John H, Nov 1882
George E, Aug 1887
William T, may 1891
Warren T, Aug 1892
Neil D, March 1898
--All Children born in Illinois.

The World War I Draft Registration Card Image database.
"Neal David Sullivan" (as written), living at Washtucna, WA, age 19, born March 10, 1899 (In the years I've been doing genealogy, I seem to find the DOB is off by 1 year in about 50 percent of the draft cards. Why? I have only speculation [not valid in genealogy research] ). He was involved in farming for himself. His nearest relative was his brother George Sullivan at the same address. Neal was medium in height, slender in build. He signed his draft registration on Sept 12, 1918 at the local board for Adams County, in Ritzville.

The Social Security Death Index shows a Neal Sullivan, born 10 March 1898, died June 1969 "last residence" in Spokane, WA. His Social Security Number 477-03-7836 was issued in Minnesota. You can order the image of the application (SS-5) for this person's SSN from the Social Security Administration (SSA). It would show many identifiers, to include the name, date of birth, place of birth, parents name, employment (if applicable), etc. An exact image is $27.00, just a computer extract is $18.00. This would verify if this is the correct person. If he was married at that time, it would identify a spouse.
--The "Last Residence" is NOT always where a person was living when died, but where a final payment, usually the "death benefit" was sent; or, where someone identified this person had died (funeral home, etc). So, you run the risk that someone that was living in Adams County, may have died in a hospital in Spokane and the funeral company involved had sent in the address. The "last residence" IS NOT a trustworthy notation.

The child in the 1930 census was probably not "Gone", could be "Gome".

Your FIRST task would be to contact the Washington State Library to request an obituary on Neal as identified, via: http://www.secstate.wa.gov/library/ask.aspx

Hi Ann,
I hope you get this email and can email me back. I just, by luck, came across your email re: Scheel,Kiehn,Gugler in Ritzville, Wa.
You seem very knowledgeable with some of the families in Ritzville. I have been searching for ever, with not much luck for a family who used to live there and many are buried in the cemetery just outside of town but I'd like to contact a living person. Maybe you can direct me. The family name is LEMMAN. There were two brothers, Edgar and Eugene Lemman (at the Ritzville Cemetery they had the names spelled Lemmon but I think it has been corrected.) They are relatives of mine but I have not found how to contact any living Lemman's who might have moved away but come back to the family plott or maybe just to visit old friends. Is this something you might be able to help me with?
Thank you. Laura

SharriRhoden51 — 2008-09-18 17:22:06Z

I found two family bibles with your names in them. I am not part of this genealogy but If you'd like to have the bibles after reading below let me know and I'll send them to who ever would like them. I just make it a habit to look in old bibles for names. I bought these two in Joseph, Oregon.

this bible was given to frances geroldine miller from her mother pauline l. kiehn on march 29 1970....written inside;

mother, pauline l. kiehn
father, john a. kiehn
(mother side)
grandmother elizabeth scheel
grandfather drederick scheel
great grandmother elizabeth guglar
great grandfather ralph core guglar
(father side)
grand father conrad kiehn

(page 2)
frances geroldine born 1/26/1917
sister lovine orlene born 1/29/1911 spokane wn
sister audrey arulla born june 7 1914 ione, ore

Father John A. Kiehn born 3/3/1883
mother Pauline l. kiehn born 2/3/1891 Ritzville mn?

the second bible has a newspaper clipping in it from 1938 about Herbert D. Miller, Frances geroldine husband i believe
lots of info there. herbert d. miller grew up in pullman graduated from pullman high ans wsu 38. he went to work for and followed a career with the u.s. forest service beginning in 1940 in central oregon. he married Frances jones of john day, oregon. they have a son, Gregg, a 1961 grad. He is an engineer for boeing co. in seattle. miller retired 12/21/74 with 35 years with the USFS. He was Ranger at the JOesph District of the Walloa-Whitman national Froest. His father Cort Miller, gradutted from WSU in 1908 as did his sister and brother. A retirement was held for him on Dec 28th at the elks lodge in enterprise, ore. ect, ect, ect...

then it has these dates.
has the same births as other bible but has these deaths
john a kiehn 12/3/58
pauline l. kieh 3/4/84
lovine o. kiehn 5/3/84

Re: Wesley C. Walsh & wife Viola Walsh of Hatton - 1904 Homesteaders

cwmarshall80 — 2007-08-31 18:29:32Z

Thanks for the follow up. I have mined the Adams County records pretty thoroughly over the past 15 years, including the courthouse holdings, Eastern Washington state archives, Lind's historical society (in the basement of the old theater). Ritzville's library and also been in contact in the past with some of the locals, including historians and genealogists. I've never come across any other records for Wesley Walsh but he also was not my primary focus until recently, taking this approach to hopefully find out more about my Great-grandfather, Charles Marshall, Wesley's neighboring homesteader and business partner for a brief time. I need to revisit the land sale records at the courthouse to see what they might have. I did find his homestead records (online US BLM land patent records).

BTW, an info update: I now know that Viola Sweetser married "George" Walsh on August 15, 1898 at Prescott, WA. Viola Sweetser Walsh died 11 AUG 1922 in St. Mary's Hospital in Walla Walla, a resident of Prescott and was a local school teacher. Her son Verner Walsh died 19 May 1907 (he died as a small child, barely 4 years). Viola was divorced from her husband, George Walsh, who then died in a logging accident near Leavenworth, Washington in 1904 (his death is now narrowed down to at least the year). Considering that Viola had Verner in 1902, it seems this divorce must have taken place between then (probably in Walla Walla County) and 1904 when he died. To be safe, let's say they divorced between 1900 when oldest son Charles was born and 1904 when George was killed in that logging accident. The strange thing about this though is that Viola's only daughter, Josephine, was supposedly born in 1904 or 1905.

As you can see, it's all quite a strange series of events, quite a mystery. I gladly welcome any and all hunches you might have to offer. The fact that Viola, as it now appears, divorced Wesley before he left the Prescott (and/or maybe Hatton) area to work in the timber industry around Leavenworth where he died in 1904, adds a little more detail (I unfortunately don't have an exact death date or place or burial).

Have you seen the obituary in The Ritzville Times, Thursday, December 17, 1908, issue for Mr. Zent? I could not find him in the Ritzville Cemetery. Maybe he was taken to Walla Walla for burial as it appears that the obit was a reprint from the Walla Walla paper.

Daniel J. Zent, who three months ago moved from Walla Walla to Pasco to make his home, is dead, after several weeks' illness, death following a stroke of paralysis. During his residence here he was engaged in the real estate and insurance business, and continued it in Pasco. He was born in Buffalo, N.Y., May 8, 1839, and served in the Civil war. He lived in Kansas, Colorado, Oregon and Washington since the war. He is survived by his wife and 10 children, as follows: F. P. Zent, Everett; Mrs. F. F. O'Leary, Oak Harbor; E. W. Zent, Gooding, Idaho; Judge W. W. Zent, Ritzville; Mrs. James Kerr, Midway, B. C.; Mrs. E. T. Dell, Kivna; George W. Zent, Kate Zent, Pasco; D. E. Zent, Spokane and Mrs. T. R.

One website had her at Cunningham Cemetary, but I did not find her in the listings (it appeared it was only a partial listing). William died in 1901 also. I have not found his burial site.

Re: Samuel L Thomas and Ella Iles Thomas

Re: Wesley C. Walsh & wife Viola Walsh of Hatton - 1904 Homesteaders

judyartley53 — 2007-08-29 03:20:33Z

I think this is an odd situation too. I use ancestry and searched for Wesley and Viola Walsh and didn't find them on any Census in WA, OR or CA. I thought I'd find their death records bur didn't. I went back to the MI Censuses thinking they moved back there and didn't find them either.

I saw the Viola who was a school teacher and the 1900 Prescott Census says her husband's name was George W. However, Walla Walla Co is right next to Adams Co. and Censuses have been known to be wrong.

Be sure to check rootsweb, choose databases, choose US, choose WA, choose Adams County and look through their databaes. Do the same thing with USGENWeb. USGenWeb has Adams County obits for 1905 and well after.

I tried to find a Gen. Soc. on-line for Adams County but only found the Heritage Research Center in Ritzville; see www.rootsweb.com/~waadams/heritageresearchctr.html.

Old Adams County records will be on file in Ritzville or the Eastern Regional Branch Washington Archives. Check out www.secstate.wa.gov/archives/archives_eastern.aspx, era@secstate.wa.gov, 509-235-7500.

If they sold thier land in 1904-1905 that record would be on file at Adams County Court House, Ritzville unless the record is so old it's been shipped off to Archives.

For what it's worth, I still have a hunch about Viola who appears in the Walla Walla Co Censuses especially since there's nothing else remotely close to those two names in three states. Good Luck!

Re: McClure, Shoop

William Shoop, b. 1836, OH appears on the 1880 Clifton, Wilson Co, KS Census along with his children, two nephews and a neice. His daughter Mary A. Shoop was born abt. 1866, KS.

A William Shoop b. 12 June 1836, Erie Co., OH died 23 Sep 1905 in Lebannon, Smith Co., KS but I can't verify if this is the same William. However, I didn't find anything about William's death in Adams Co. I checked the obvious cemeteries at www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/wa/adams/adams.htm but not all of them.

Another place to check is the Adams County Court House in Ritzville to see if they have a death cert.

I found a M. A. McClure married to Edward in the 1889 Washington Census. M. A. was female, 22 and born in KS. They were living with Edward's family in Whitman Co., WA.

The 1900 Hatton, Adams Co Census shows Edward F. McClure, b. Aug. 1867, OR, farmer and married 10 yrs. Mary A., wife, b. April 1867, KS, had given birth to 5 children & 5 alive in 1900. All children born in WA. Mable E. b. Feb. 1890, Charles W. b. Aug. 1891; Ralph b. July 1893 John b. April 1895 and Robert b. Dec. 1888.

Mary McClure doesn't appear in the Censuses after 1900. I checked the obvious cemeteries at the rootsweb site mentioned above and she's not there either. However I didn't look at all of them and all of them aren't indexed. Neither she nor her father are in Cunningham.

In 1910 Garfield, Whitman Co., WA Census Edward appears with his family. He has remarried to Lucy T., 41 yrs old. Same list of children.

A Edward F. McClure died 29 June 1942 in Spokane City. He was born abt. 1868 per death cert #853. Source: WA Death Index 1940-1996.

Check with the Heritage Research Center, POBox 293, Ritzville, WA 99169. 509-659-0237

Also there is an Adams County Historical Society with a very new web site www.adamscountyhistoricalsociety.com.

Re: McClure, Shoop

judyartley53 — 2007-09-12 23:51:33Z

Hi Joan, that's possible but check with the Heritage Research Center and Adams County Historical Society see previous post). Our local genealogy society keeps track of any individual graves in Chelan and Douglas County that we hear about because of these reasons. They might have that info.

Are you sure William was in WA state? I didn't find him in any Census but I relied on the indexes and if Shoop wasn't indexed correctly, I wouldn't find it.

Re: RailRoad/Wm. C. Graham

judyartley53 — 2007-08-29 22:37:32Z

I found a William G. Graham on the Census in 1910 in Precinct 66, Whitman Co., WA. He was b. abt. 1887, NY, [as were both parents} and he was a fireman for the railroad.

I know the initial doesn't match but I think he's your Graham because of the age, where he was born and working for the railroad. I didn't find him earlier than that.

Then a William Carlston Graham filled out his World War I Draft Registration Card 6/5/1917. He was living in Othello, Adams Co. He was born in Brooklyn, NY 6 April 1887. He was a locomotive engineer for Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul R. R. He was married with two children. He was medium height & slender with blue eyes and brown hair.

A Willard C. Graham (although ancestry indexed it as Wilford but looks like Willard to me) both abt. 1888, NY (and both his parents) and family appears in the 1920 Othello, Adams Co. Census. He was a "engineer locomotive". He was married to Helma J., b. WA, 27 yrs old. Dau. Jeane E., b. OR abt. 1912. Son Willard C Jr., b. WA, 4 1/2th and son Harry E., b. WA 1 5/12ths. Lodgers Arthur J. Williams, locomotive engineer and Christina MacLeod, bank clerk, were also living with them.

A William C. Graham and his family appear in the 1930 Spokane, Spokane Co., WA Census. William was b. NY, abt. 1888 & he's an "engineer locomotive". He was married at 26. His wife Anna E. [yes, note diffferent name] was born ND, 38 yrs old and first married at 36. W. Carlston was born WA abt. 1916 and Harry E. was born WA abt. 1919. Lillian G. Gusk, sister, single, born ND, 36 yrs old, saleswoman was living with them.

I'd look for his divorce record in Adams or Spokane Co. Contact Adams Co. Clerk, 509-659-3257, PO Box 187, Ritzville, WA 99169 or Spokane Co. Clerk, W 116 Broadway, Rm 300, Spokane, 99260-0090, 509-477-2211.

Another source might be Eastern Regional Archive Branch, www.secstate.wa.gov/archives/archives_eastern.aspx, era@secstate.wa.gov, 509-235-7500.

Also I'd look in Spokane for his marriage record to Anna since she married when she was 36 and she was 38 in 1930.

The last viewable Census to the public at this time is 1930 and after then people aren't easy to tract. Since he lived in Spokane in 1930 you might want to find the Spokane City Directories starting with 1931. City directories were issued every year or you might find Spokane City combined with Spokane county. You can do a Google search or the Spokane Gen. Soc. or main public library might have them.

Eastern WA Gen. Soc., (Spokane), www.rootsweb.com/~waewgs. Most Gen. Soc's will do research on people for an hourly fee.

I don't know what kind of historical info you might be able to get from the Railroad itself. Look at www.rrb.gov/mep/genealogy.asp.

I don't know how to research the early adoption in Brooklyn. I'd post that on the rootsweb.com, databases, usa, new york state, brooklyn county. Or look up rootsweb and find the Brooklyn Gen. Soc. All of the local Gen. Soc's are a wealth of information that seem to get overlooked. Good Luck!

judyartley53 — 2007-08-29 23:08:41Z

I did find a William Graham, 538-18-3094, whose last residence was Silverdale, Kitsap Co., WA, born 24 April 1887. He died Dec 1974. His soc. sec. # was assigned in WA before 1951. Source: SSDI

I know the birth date doesn't exactly match but it IS close. I'd send an email to askalibrarian@secstate.wa.gov and ask for his obituary. Provide his name, where (I'd tell them Silverdale) and when he died. They will search the newspaper microfilm for one hour for free and reply with what they find.

If that doesn't work, you can send to Soc. Sec. for a copy of his social sec. application which costs about $20.

I learned through those records that her mother was a Kleinschmidt from Prussia and is likely related to my husband's family.

Michigan Flat in Adams Co.

BethPJohnston — 2006-11-20 00:28:16Z

The obituary for my 2ggrandfather, James Smith, says he was buried "in a cemetery on Michigan Flat." I've never heard of Michigan Flat, but other information I have says he was buried in Delight Cemetery. Does anyone know if the two fit together?

Thanks,
Beth

Re: Michigan Flat in Adams Co.

BethPJohnston — 2006-11-20 00:28:16Z

Barbara,

Thanks once again for your response.

Both James Smith's death certificate and family recollections say he's buried in Delight Cemetery, so I think the paper's reference is to that area. I raised the question because I'd not heard to the area referred to that way before. James lived in Kahlotus only about 6 years prior to his death but he farmed in Adams Co. much longer than that.

Thanks for your suggestion to contact the obituary contributor -- I will do that.

Beth

James' grave is obviously unmarked. Records show he purchased two, and possibly three, plots in the cemetery. The plot where his son Laurance is buried is double, and my suspicion is James lies next to Laurance who, as far as I can find, didn't marry before dying at the young age of 32.

Perhaps a Congregational church in Ritzville or Odessa would know something about the church and/or cemetery and the fate of their records.

You can also google the two separate words--Heimbigner Ritzville--for sites with info re family members which may or may not duplicate googling--"Adam Heimbigner" Ritzville--. If you don't know, putting the quotes around a phrase searches for exactly that phrase, rather than the words individually.

Thank you, Charles, for the quick reply. I had thought of that also. I live in Spokane County and know that Eastern Washington counties changed often. Since one of the witnesses stated 'Adams County' I figured it was already a county by 1885.

Thanks again. Barbara

McNeilly, Adam; Help please!

BarbaraMcNeillyMelcher — 2006-08-19 15:26:29Z

My g.grandfather's brother, Adam, was born in Ireland 1826. Immigrated to the US approximately 1850. Settled in WA Territory. Our records show he died in 1883, at Crabb Creek, Adams County, WA Territory. He is buried at Colfax, WA. Robert's statement on his Homestead application states he(Robert) was away from his property(in Whitman County, WT) to Crabb Creek, WT in January of 1885 for 2 months, 'on business'. One of his witnesses stated he(Robert) was in Adam's County in 1885 or 86 to 'settle his brother's estate'.

Robert,(and his witnesses) also state that Robert was in Pennsylvania for 2 months in 1886. As Adam was not married(that we know of), their mother probably would have been his closest relative, and she was in PA. My Question: Where would I find those probate records, if indeed there are any? WA or PA? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. Barbara

Researching all BENWARD lines that seem to originate in New Jersey, mid-late 1700s. One line including Joseph M. Benward, John M. Benward, and William Miller Benward were born in Warren Co., NJ area; Joseph and William moved to Marion Co. KS circa mid 1800s. They went onto Idaho, Montana, and Washington state (Adams Co., Yakima Co., Spokane). One descendant of Joseph's (Marion Clinton Benward) went back east to New York City. Looking for parents of Joseph M., and John M. Is William M. a brother? Any information greatly appreciated.

Michele Chimienti was born March 9, 1888, in Sannicandro di Bari, Puglia, Italy. [WWI Draft Registration Card] In 1917, he was a section foreman working for the S.P. & S. railroad out of Benge, Washington. He was single and supporting his parents. They may have still been in Italy? He had filed his intentions to become a U.S. citizen, probably in the Washington courts. I think he is the same as Michelli Chimenti, a railroad laborer, living in Washtucna, Adams Co., Washington, in 1910, and a recent immigrant. Perhaps 1903 - the entry is unclear.

Re: McNeilly, Adam; Help please!

cmhansen — 2006-08-19 15:26:53Z

Barbara First place to look for probates is where the person owned land, but be sure to check when the county was formed. Not real sure when Adams county was formed, so you may need to go to another county for his probate if Adams county had not formed yet.

Charles

Re: McNeilly, Adam; Help please!

cmhansen — 2006-08-19 15:27:42Z

Barbara I just did a quick internet search and according to Wikipedia, Adams county was formed in November 1883 from Whitman County, and yes Ritzville is the county seat of Adams county.

Cemetery research

LBordi — 2007-05-02 07:01:25Z

I am researching several cemeteries in Adams County, specifically Michigan Prairie, Delight, American Legion, Hatton and Kansas Prairie.
If anyone has any information about the history of these cemeteries or the people buried in them, I would like to hear from you.

Re: Cemeteries

LBordi — 2007-05-02 06:47:45Z

The Kansas Prairie Cemetery is situated in the middle of a field and you can't see it from the road. We were up there not long ago and could only find two readable stones and one that is just a base for a stone. It's very overgrown and there are very large holes from animals.
The Hampton Rd cemetery no longer exists, as far as we can tell. We drove through the area and talked to the farmer who owns the land there. He has never seen any evidence of it.
We are currently researching several of the old cemeteries in the area and I'd like to hear about what you found out. If you are willing to share information, my email is labordi@hotmail.com

Re: Cemetery research

LBordi — 2007-05-02 16:57:46Z

Already some of the stones have been buried since they were posted on the Internet in the late 1990s. That is what is making it difficult to research. I have read many old obituaries that don't have stones to match at the cemeteries. When we visited the Michigan Prairie cemetery, we uncovered two large stones that we found under the dirt. We plan to take all the research and try to uncover more.

Re: Cemetery research

LBordi — 2007-08-07 03:27:33Z

This is wonderful! Any information you can give me would be of immense help. My research is turning out to be very in depth. Eventually, I will compile it all and archive it at the local library or with the county. I have found old obits and biographies. I hope to some day even talk to people who have relatives at these cemeteries. Did you live in the area as a small child? There are a lot of questions I'd like to ask you!

Re: Cemetery research

LBordi — 2007-06-13 17:20:13Z

Thank you. I know there are many graves in these small cemeteries that were never marked or the stones are now gone. That is why information from others is so helpful.

Re: Cemetery research

LBordi — 2007-06-13 17:18:51Z

Thank you for the information. This is very helpful to my research. Where did you get the information and what else do you have?

Re: Cemetery research

LBordi — 2007-05-08 14:41:33Z

Thank you. This is exactly the type of information I am looking for!

Re: Cemetery research

R_Wokojance — 2007-08-07 01:35:30Z

I got the info on the Michigan Prairie Cemetery from personally viewing the wooden markers as a child.
From Delight, I have a picture of James P Harter's grave marker taken in the 70's

Re: Cemetery research

R_Wokojance — 2007-06-13 16:36:12Z

In the Delight Cemetery

James Pierson Harter is buried in the SW corner. The plot is listed as owned by Hannah Harter. He had a tall stone, but it was destroyed by vandals.
b. 17 Sep 1845 in Johnson Co.,Indiana
d. 23 Mar 1889 in Delight, Adams Co.,Washington (consumption)

I'm trying to find the following cemeteries in Adams County for a transcription project I'm working on. Below each cemetery are the general directions I've been able to find using maps. I'm hoping maybe someone on here could tell me if I'm correct or not. I've been in the general area of these cemeteries and never found them, so I'm wondering if they even still exist. Thanks, Suzanne

Kansas Prairie Cemetery
West on Hwy 21. Left on Lind-Hatton Rd. Right on Providence Road After Presnell Rd (rt side) before Roxboro Rd on left side should be a small turn off where the cemetery is on right side of road

Hampton Road Cemetery

Ralston Cemetery
Hwy 261 South of Ritzville to Ralston, right on Lind-Ralston Road “not sure where it is after that, unable to locate on map”. Right on Bauman Road which heads back to Ralston. Cemetery should be either Along Lind-Ralston Road or Bauman Road

Re: Cemeteries

livingstoneancestry — 2007-02-01 02:53:55Z

Thanks Margaret. I'm assuming they were small cemeteries that like you said are now maybe overgrown. A couple of them are on the US Geological survey map, which is odd, so I'm thinking they aren't marked or maybe in the middle of a field possibly

I actually live over here in Western WA in Kent. I used to live in Connell in Franklin County and am familiar with the area.

Since they died around the same time I wonder if they were burried together. William is Molly's father. William was born in 1836 and Molly in the 1860's. She was married to Edward Franklin McClure in Kansas and they moved to Washington State. Any information would be helpful. Thanks! Joan

I am researching my wifes family and have only recently traced it back to Adams CO, Wa, Ritzville to be more specific. I know my wifes grandmas grandparents built and owned the 1st motel there, then they moved outside of Ritzville and apparently donated land that the German Methodist Church was built upon. Can anyone assist in helping fill any and all voids for any of the three family names above? Thank you!

Adams County News, October 4, 1905, issue

George Seidl
George Seidl died Friday morning at 5 o'clock at the residence of Mrs. Thos. J. Halin of typhoid fever with which he had been suffering for the past six weeks. Deceased was a respected well-to-do farmer, leaving a wife and several small children. He carried $25,000 life insurance. Funeral occurred Friday at Sprague.

The Ritzville Public Library has some copies of old newspapers. 1905 is a bad year, however. This obit is published online through the obituary project.

Dear Ms. Sirois, I am a 2nd cousin, once removed of Flora (Howe) Heimbigner, wife of Christian "Chris" Heimbigner (1913-1998) of Ritzville, Adams County, WA.

In the Sept 15 1949 article of Pioneer Days near Hatton it states that The German M.E. people had a church building one-half mile north of the Alvin Mittelstaedt residence and worshipped there for many years. Some of these same members helped build the M.E. brick church in Connel. This old church was torn down by T. R. Booker & Sons(Auctioneers today?) the lumber being used in erection of the new Booker home on the farm.

In the Ritzville Warehouse Co. booklet: 1893 Our First 100 years 1993 on p 10 it tells that originally a grist mill called the Ritzville Milling Company, then owned and run by George Benninghoff, it was purchased by Sebastian and Andrew Ott for $12,500 in 1895 after they arrived in the Ritzville area from Germany. The Ott brothers ran the mill until 1901 when Centenniel Mills purchased a majority interest for $30,000. Then it goes on to tell a little more about the mill.

Re: In Search of Helen Keehner/Kuehner, dau. of John H. and Minnie (Kyriss) Keehner

2004-09-30 13:35:46Z

May be of interest: found in Tombstone Inscriptions of Adams County,WA--CARRICO & maybe PFANNEKUCHEN? Located-Sec. 8 T19 R37. One report says two Carrico children(??children by that name or who lived in the Carrico Hills??) died of scarlet fever and were buried in east central part of section. The site contained two poplar trees that were grubbed out in 1938. Graves are farmed over. The other account gives the grave sites of perhaps six persons as being in SW part of section. Among them is an unnamed infant niece of Henry Pfannekuchen who died of typhoid fever. Possibly the Carrico children are here. This is land of Rev. Karl Wellsandt of Walla Walla.
I have found 1912 & 1934 Metzger maps that show the Karl Wellsandt 160 acres with a home location dot and Pfannekuchen land within 1/2 mile of this land.

The Adams County Historical Book-Volume 1 has written histories of the Lester & Otto Pfannekuchen families which may be relatives of the Keehner family??? or at least neighbors.

I also have Ritzville Journal Times articles in May 23 & 30 1946 of the obit oa Oscar R. Keehner and the article of the plane crash that killed him.

Sorry it's taken me so long to respond! The KOCH group I am researching is:

Michael KOCH (b. abt 1853) who is listed on the 1920 Ritzville census:

Enum#12:Sheet#6:Line#33: Hemlock St:Precinct#2:Fam#9, House#9:
Age:67:Imm.1902:Nat-1912:

Supposedly, he is the brother of my great-grandmother: Christine Elizabeth (KOCH) KANZLER b.1852 d.1905 m. Adam KANZLER Jr. A Michael KOCH is also listed as a witness to her probate record.

The other siblings I have are: Peter, Alexander, Marie Katherine, & Johann Heinrich (b.1859 Kolb, Russia- d.1946 Spokane WA) m. Katherine REIBER.

I am trying to determine if their parents were Michael/Henry KOCH & wife Anna who both died in Kolb, Russia.

Re: Michigan Flat in Adams Co.

I suspect that Michigan Flat is in Franklin County since that is where Kahlotus is. Franklin County is to the south of Adams County. You can check out cemeteries in Adams County and Franklin County on interment.net. Michigan Flat might now be the Kahlotus Lakeview Cemetery although James Smith isn't in the list of those whose grave stones could still be found/read there. You could contact the contributor to see if he knows anything about Michigan Flat.

Hi Harv--

I have several Alexander KOCH but none match the year you gave. Also, several others you list, but since I have no dates for them, I can't fit them in anywhere.

My great grandmother was Christine Elizabeth KOCH (1852-1905) m. Adam KANZLER Jr. (1851-1911). Both came from Kolb Russia and died in Ritzville. Christine"s brother was Johaan Heinrich (John Henry) KOCH (1859-1946) born in Kolb and died in Spokane Washington. He married Elizabeth REIBER (1864-1942), d/o Jacob REIBER & Katherine KOCH.

John & Christine parents were Michael Heinrich KOCH (born about 1831 in Russia, probably Kolb) and mother Anna but I don't know her surname, perhaps BAUER.

There are quite a few different branch of KOCH families in the Ritzville and Odessa...it's hard to sort them all out! Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Re: history of Ralston Hotel

Barbara_Ratcliff — 2005-08-31 15:27:01Z

The following is from the History of Adams County Washington
(Adams County Historical Society--1986):

Page 48: (This quote appears to have been copied from a contemporary newspaper, The Washington State Journal)

The new hotel, built by W. R. Lucy, opened for business on May 1st (1908). This was a much desired feature for Ralston, as at the present time there was no lodging accommodations for strangers wandering through. They now have a well equipped and comfortable hotel as can be found in cities. A grand ball was given for the opening.

There is a photograph of what was apparently the hotel described, which still existed in 1986:

. . . all that remains of early Ralston is the church and hotel, the latter used for a store, post office and private residence for many years by Mrs. Frances Ray. Both are now closed.

Page 257:

. . . in the fall of 1934 the Rays (Frances and David) purchased the Ralston Store and moved to Ralston. . . The Rays operated the Ralston store and post office until 1950 when they sold the store and planned to retire.

. . . In 1954 the new Ralston store owners decided to give up the store, so Frances decided to refurbish it with the help of Charles (son) and many local friends. She operated the store and post office with the help of Gerald and Alice Vostral from this time until the store was sold to Mr. and Mrs. Bowman.

Re: Michigan Flat in Adams Co.

Barbara_Ratcliff — 2005-07-14 01:22:10Z

If you haven't done so already, check out:

http://www.interment.net/us/wa/adams.htm

There is a Michigan Prairie Cemetery (near the Franklin County line, I think it said), as well as Delight Cemetery. I would contact the people who walked those cemeteries--their email addresses are there, and hopefully they will recognize the name "Michigan Flat". I did a keyword search for "Michigan Flat" in the Ritzville obituaries and James Smith was the only one said to be buried there, whereas quite a few were said to be buried at the Delight and Michigan Prairie cemeteries, so it is a mystery why an obituary writer would use that uncommon name as his burial destination.

Good luck!

I find a reference indicating that the Hatton Methodist Church merged with the Connell Methodist Church in 1950. The address/phone number for the latter is: Burke at Franklin, Connell, WA 99326; 509-234-3461.

Lynne I live in Spokane and in 1972 one of the members of our gene society in Spokane went to the Greenwood Cemetery near Palouse Washington and read all the tombstones. She published the book that year.It is Volume 1 of Whitman County. Just recently one of our members indexed the 1889 Whitman County Census and PH and Sarah are together, and further down the page is BE Lewis. In the 1910 Whitman County Census they are still together.

Jean The LDS Website has a catalog of all the films in the library in Salt Lake City. The films can be rented for a small fee at your local LDS Family History Center. The WA Death index is on films# 1308455-1308466. This is an index of the Death Certificates that are available from the State of Washington. Many libraries have the index also. Now the LDS Has filmed the certificates from 1907 (when the state started collecting the certificates) to 1960 (The state has them to the present, but the State charges 3- 4 times what the LDS charges for a copy). The LDS has 1066 microfilms of the death certificates.
The 1920 Bellingham Certificates are on film #1992757

How did you come by the info.??? Are all of the names shown Lewis'? Can you tell if others were husband and wife or children related to certain elders??
Do you live in the area?? If so, would you take photos of the gravemarkers and the name of the cemetery?? I would be very willing to pay you for your time and the cost of the film..!!!

NYE, Eva Mildred 1895-1992

WilliamAdams2006 — 2005-03-17 15:04:43Z

Eva Mildred NYE, born June 9, 1895 Oregon, died March 1, 1992 San Diego, CA was the daughter of Charles Wesley Nye (1863-1931) and Carrie Pennick (ca 1871-?). She was the granddaughter of Charles H. Nye (1830-1919) and Sarah Richardson FREELAND (1824-1916). Sometime prior to 1919 she married _____ GALE.

She grew up on the parent's wheat farm in Adams County and appears there in Fairview Precinct in 1920 census with her one-year old son, Walter C. GALE, living with her parents. By the 1930 census, her parents had moved to 339 Craig Street, Walla Walla, Washington. Eva Gale and three children were living with them: Walter, 11; Gweneth, 7; and Loris, 6. She worked as a saleslady in a retail department store in 1930. The husband was not living with the family in 1920 or 1930. Where was he? Military? What was his name? Where did the family go after Walla Walla? Are her children alive? Grandchildren? At some point she moved to San Diego, CA, where she died in 1992. Her SS# is 536-09-1923.

Eva is my 3C2R. I would like to hear from her descendants or other researchers.

WALTER Family of Ritzville WA

Marita17 — 2001-07-04 03:38:07Z

John Jacob WALTER came to USA from Walter, Russia in 1912 and settled at Ritzville, WA in Adams County. He married Christina SCHILLING there in 1915, his parents were listed on the Marriage Register as being John J. WALTER and his wife Anna M. BENNER. In 1930 John Jacob Walter Jr. was working for the City of Ritzville when he died of pneumonia.
The 1920 Federal census of Ritzville lists;
John J. WALTER, age 27, came to USA in 1912, born in
Russia.
Also in that census is Anna M. WALTER, widow age 58, came to USA in 1912, born in Russia. Lena WALTER, daughter, age 17, came to USA in 1912, born in Russia. Elizabeth WALTER, niece, age 8, born in WA, parents were born in Russia.
All were listed as speaking German and cannot speak English except for Lena who spoke German but could speak English.
In the Ritzville Memorial Cemetery record is Anna Marie WALTER born 1862, died 1940, this appears to be the same Anna M. WALTER that is listed in the 1920 census. Do you know if this Anna M. WALTER was Anna M. BENNER, mother of John Jacob WALTER? If it is not, do you know if they were related? I am seeking his ancestors or siblings and would appreciate your help.
