Seeking descendants of Cyrus Warren

pjacroux — 2008-05-17 18:58:51Z

I am seeking information about the descendants of Cyrus Warren who migrated to Southeast Washington in the 1870’s.

Cyrus married Emeline/Amelia/Emily Hartung, a native of Germany in 1845.

He had a daughter, Julia Abigail, born c.1846 in Ohio. All his other children were born in Lawrence County, Missouri.

In the 1870’s his sons Jason and John Cyrus migrated to Asotin County, Washington. Daughters Ida Jane, Amanda Lois, and Elvira apparently came with them. The mother, Amelia, followed but Cyrus stayed in Missouri and is buried there.

Jason stayed in Asotin County for some time and then moved to Gridley, California.

John Cyrus is buried in Dixie, Walla Walla County, Washington.

Amelia is buried in Peola, Garfield County, Washington

Ida Jane is buried in Idaho.

Amanda is buried in Clarkston, Asotin County, Washington.

Elvira is buried in Spokane, Washington

Emma is buried in Kalispell, Montana.

Any information regarding this Warren line would be greatly appreciated.

First, obituaries were not common back then, so you might not find one.

The Washington State Library has a free research program where they will look for information in the archives, in this case the newspaper microfilm for an event, such as an obituary. They will look up to an hour and send you the results. Contact them at: http://www.secstate.wa.gov/library/ask.aspx . Depending on the amount of requests, it could take up to a couple of weeks.

Re: William PEARSALL

Beth_Goble — 2008-03-13 20:17:01Z

You might find this article usefull. I know many of the graves in Asotin were moved from the original cemetary in town to the present location on the hill above town. I know Abiel Goble was buried in Asotin/Asotin Creek but I haven't found it yet.

I also went back through a bunch of my files and found an original article written on Aunt Alice when she turned 80. It tells where she says Grandma Sarah died ---- on the Oregon Trail from Kansas at Burnt River in Baker Co., Oregon. Buried there too. Of course I have no dates or paper name on this article, but it shouldn’t be too hard to figure out.

MRS. DODSON RECALLS EVENTS OF LONG TREK ACROSS PLAINS: Touchet Pioneer, Nearing 80, came from Kansas in 1864 by Wagon Train.
(Under her picture): Mrs. J.W. Dodson crossed the plains in 1864 and has made her home in the “Oregon country” continuously since. For more than a quarter-century she has lived in Touchet, where she celebrated her seventy-ninth birthday anniversary anniversary a few days ago.

To be in her eightieth year, yet physically sound and mentally alert, is the good fortune of Mrs. J.W. Dodson, of Touchet. Further more she has a storehouse of frontier experiences and historical facts about Washington and Oregon that delight an interviewer. In her cozy Touchet home last week she chatted about highlights in a full and complete program of Northwest experiences beginning in 1864 when she, as a child still under five years, arrived in Walla Walla with her parents and other relatives from Kansas.
Her people left Marshall county, Kansas, in the early spring of 1864, starting out as a family unit that joined up with other groups to form a huge train before striking out across the dangerous plains for the Oregon country. The immediate family consisted of Mr. And Mrs. Abiel Goble and four girls, of whom Mrs. Dodson was on of the youngest. Others in the party were Mr. and Mrs. Luther Parsall, parents of Mrs. Goble, who rode in a covered buggy drawn by a mare the full distance. That animal, by the way, lived to be 25 years old, and contributed much to the family’s subsequent comfort in frequent travels in the Northwest.

Aged Person In Party: Another member of the original group was the 80-year-old mother of Abiel Goble, who, ailing from the start, attempted the trip because she refused to be left behind. She held up wonderfully well, but when the train reached Burnt River in Baker County, she joined that innumerable host which met death along the Oregon Trail. She was buried where she died --- reverently, in primitive fashion.
Goble children in that trek were Edith Tate, who died in Walla Walla; Anna Hadley, who died in Walla Walla while quite young, Amanda Hadley, now living in Los Angeles, and Alice Dodson. Two more children were born to the Gobles after reaching the west: Mrs. Jack McDonald, of Touchet, who died recently, and Luther Goble, now living at La Center.

Milch-Cows for Team: Unlike most immigrants, the Gobles used milch cows instead of oxen for locomotive purposes. This was economically sound, because it reduced livestock population. At the end of the day’s trek when yokes were removed, the team was milked for the all-important food. Mrs. Dodson recalls, with a chuckle, that surplus milk after the breakfast was served, was set in the wagon, there to be fully churned by rough going by the time the next camp was struck. Like all pioneer women, Mrs. Dodson has a none too sweet recollection of churns indispensable in pioneer homes, but a great nuisance, nevertheless, to mothers and daughters.

Dodged Indian Trouble: Mrs. Dodson was too young to have many recollections of the journey, but one episode stands out very clearly in her mind today. One evening in the badlands the train came upon the remnants of a massacred immigrant camp. The entire party had been slain or carried away captives the day before---save one man, overlooked by the redskins. He had been scalped and left as dead, but the Gobles found him, rendered what service they could, carried him to the nearest fort where he was treated and recovered.
The Indians had dumped sugar and flour found in the train, on the ground and sage brush, where it created a weird picture that impressed the child Alice in a way that proved indelible.
She also distinctly remembers seeing Court House Rock.

Stopped at Meacham: When the train reached Meacham it was late fall, and they found there a former acquaintance who was running the Summit house.
Father Goble hurried on to Walla Walla but the mother and children remained for a month or so. Finding homes was difficult in Walla Walla in 1864. Ready cash brought from Kansas was badly deflated, adding to the discomforts. Life came the hard way that winter.

Went to Umpqua Valley: The next spring Goble traded some of his milch cows for a horse, which was teamed up with the mare that crossed the plains, and with this equipage, the family departed for the Umpqua Valley in Southern Oregon where they lived three years; they returned to Walla Walla, stayed four years; then back to the Umpqua for a year and again back to Walla Walla in 1873 where they stayed until 1877.
In 1877 they moved to Asotin Creek, before there was any town there, or even any roads. Frontier hardships were again endured.
January 16, 1881, Alice Goble married J.W. Dodson who had come out from Nebraska and Missouri in 1871. The wedding was at Lewiston.

Set up Home in Asotin: It was in the region of Asotin Creek that the Dodsons set up housekeeping. An oddity concerns the birthplaces of the several Dodson children. When they first lived there, the region was part of Columbia county; then it was changed to Garfield; subsequently to Asotin. During these changes all but one of the several children were born in the same house, yet in different counties. Even the lone exception was born only a few miles away. The children were: Perry, Touchet; Henry, Walla Walla; Mrs. Mattie Robinson, Walla Walla; Don, a soldier in the World war, who died a year ago in Marshfield; Mrs. Eva Munns, Touchet.
Twenty-seven years ago the Dodsons moved to Touchet where home was continuously established. Two years ago the husband and father died after 56 years of married life.
His most favored occupation was that of shearing sheep, a trade at which he became noted and in demand from Oregon through Washington and into Montana. Even in advanced age, he was not content until he had taken a turn at shearing each spring.

Re: Wilson, William H. and son Guy Leroy Wilson

According to the 1883 Wash. Ter. Census, Columbia Co. William and wife and two kids. JB, f, age 3 and LG, m, 1.
Later census shows wife's name as Ethel M. b. oregon 1865
and daughter's name as Belle.

Western marriage records show William H. Wilson married Ethelyn M. Brown 17 Oct 1878, Columbia Co., WA.

Guy and Ella had two daughters, Maybelle b. 1905 and Kathryn b. 25 Mar. 1914.

Looks like Guy died in Spokane on 1 Oct 1948.

Hopefully they have the microfilm and can look up their death info or they may have other info about the couple. Successful Hunting!

Death/Obit of Washington COX and Sarah Bowlin Cox

JamesNethery7576 — 2008-03-25 02:25:18Z

I'm seeking the obituary or death information on Washington M. COX and his wife Sarah C. Bowlin COX. They were married in Lewiston, Nez Perce, Idaho on 21 May 1909 but lived at Clarkston Town, Asotin, Washingon on 16 April 1910 according to the census. This was the 2nd marriage for both. In 1910 Washington was 58 years old and Sarah was 47. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

badenroots — 2007-09-21 11:42:10Z

I would like to know the information in the 1900 census for Thomas Goerig b.1828 Baden, Germany. He lived in Pleasant, Asotin, Washington. Does he live alone? What is his relationship? Which year did he emigrate? e.t.c.
Can anyone help?

Re: 1900 census Thomas Goerig

badenroots — 2007-09-21 14:09:26Z

Cheryl thank you very much. You are an angel.
I wasn't sure about the year of emigration. But this could be him on the passengerlist. His wife died 1887 and his daughter Euphrosina was already in the USA. So he travelled alone. He was born on Dec.27, 1827.

Re: 1900 census Thomas Goerig

badenroots — 2007-09-22 01:36:41Z

His daughter Euphrosina b. 1858 in Baden, Germany was married to Franz Joseph Rimmelspacher. They emigrated about 1881. She is to see with her family on the census record you have sent to me (Rimmelspacher Sena). I could not find her on a passengerlist, yet. When they came to America they first settled in Ottumwa, Wapello, Iowa, where three of their children were born.

obituary lookup please

Re: Kiesecker

2006-09-27 21:51:55Z

Hi,
You are in luck; it does mention family. Here is the clip:

31 Dec 1909 John Kiesecker passes Tuesday night with heart failure. Age 65. Born in Germany 10 Oct 1844 and married Barbara Hartman in Germany on 2 Jun 1875. Three children. He spent six years in the German army against Austria in 1866 and in the war against France in 1870. He recieved many Medals. He came to America 15 years ago. Leaves his wife; John and Fritz and Mrs. John Laudenback all of Anatone. He was a brother to the late Mrs. J. A. Lathrop. Buried in Anatone Cemetery.

I have copied it exactly as it was written. I assume the John and Fritz and Mrs. John Laudenback are the 3 children mentioned. Interesting history. Hope this helps you.
Janet

PS- looked under Laudenback in the book and didn't find anything but there is a piece on Mrs. J. A. Lathrop that follows:

14 May 1909 Mrs J. A. Lathrop (Margaret) wife of John A. Lathrop died May 8, 1909. Buried Viineland Cemetery. Aged 70 yrs 6 mos. One daughter-Betha M. Sherburne of Vineland and one brother John Kiesecker of Anatone. She was a native of Germany. Married in New York in 1861 to Mr. Lathrop.

Also in the 1889 Asotin, WA census, page 6, this may be of help:
Laudenbach, Henry age 35, born Germany, farmer
, John age 22, born Germany, farmer
This is of interest to me as they lived next door to my husbands ancestors the Tuttles and Beans.

In the same census are the following Lathrops. C. E., A. E., M. A., Emory and Mary A., but no John.

Re: Kiesecker

I believe their daughter Lois Harrison ? had three daughters and one of them was Dorothy Cooper who lived in the Stanwood, Washington area.

They also had a daughter, Alvilda Nydytom. She didn't have any surviving children so perhaps there might be some neices and nephews who would know about her.

Re: Ira David Perkins / Seigar Tisdale

VernPaul — 2007-04-25 19:41:09Z

I have this family in the 1920 Census, Election District 6, Kaycee Town, Johnson Co., Wyoming, e. d. 72, sheet 1A p. 240, 2 January 1920, Frank L. Van Gorder, Enumerator.
2-2
2. Perkins, Ira D, Head. M W 40, married, MO MO IL
3. --- Seigar T. Wife, F W 29, married, WY TX TN
4. --- Ruth C, Daughter, F W 6 5/12, single, MO MO WY
5. --- Martha K, Daughter, F W 5 2/12, single, ID MO WY
6. Tisdale, Kate A, Mother in Law, F W 56, widowed, TN TN TN
7. Carr, Virginia, Boarder, F W 23, single, WY VA WY
8. Buck, Mary E, Boarder, F W 17, single, MT England IL
Nearly illegible entries, some overstrikes. Ruth attended school. Ira was working as a hardware salesman for wages.

Both the Perkins and Tisdale families are found in 1910 in Mayoworth, Johnson Co., Wyoming.

Kate was widowed prior to 1900 as she is found so indicated in the census of Buffalo, Johnson Co., Wyoming, for that year. The entry is indexed at Ancestry.com as Kate Esdale.

The heirs of Kate A. Tisdale also patented land in Wyoming, for 615+ acres in Natrona County in 1928.

I suspect her husband was David Robb Tisdale per land patent records in Johnson County, although there is an equal chance he could be John A. or John N. Tisdale who also had patents in the same time frame and area.

I am not related but I do collect Wyoming secondary records of birth. At least three of Ira's and Seigar's children, Jean, David, and Helen, were born in Wyoming, probably Kaycee in Johnson County. I need to verify the dates and location for inclusion in my database. Thank you.

Matthew (Mathew) Williams, born 1830, Virginia
Lowell (Luther Lowe) Williams, born 1877, Illinois

I guess if there are not too many, I would be interested in any Williams you might have, as I would use those names to trace any possible siblings of Matthew Williams, my great grandfather.

Thanks so much for your great offer.

The oldest of 11 children, she was born Oct. 9, 1911, at Forrest, Idaho, to William and Winnie Wilks. She attended school at Forrest and grew up in the area which is now Winchester, Idaho.
She married Vergil Yeoman June 10, 1929, at St. Maries, Idaho. He died in June 1989.
While her husband operated several sawmills in towns in Washington and Oregon, she worked as a homemaker. They lived later at Weippe, Anatone and Starbuck, Wash.
She enjoys her cats, playing shuffleboard and hand feeding a pet squirrel that lives in her neighborhood.
She has three daughters, four sons, 19 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren.

Thelma E. Yeoman, 91, Clarkston
Lewiston Tribune 2003-04-18 Page: 7A
Thelma E. Yeoman, 91, died during the late afternoon of Wednesday, April 16, 2003, at Tri-State Memorial Hospital in Clarkston. She was a resident of Clarkston Care Center and died from causes related to age.

Thelma enjoyed outdoor activities, including camping, beachcombing, and huckleberry and mushroom picking. She also liked to play shuffleboard and spend time with her large family, which included seven children. Thelma especially enjoyed the annual family campout on the Grande Ronde River at the Washington-Oregon border.

Obit - Frank Treaster

wklemm — 2006-01-18 21:11:37Z

Janet, I found the following obit for Frank R. Treaster in the Lewiston (Ida.) Morning Tribune Page 6
July 30, 1970.

Retired Plumber Frank Treaster dies at 72

Frank Raymond Treaster, 72, 917 Elm St. Clarkston died yesterday evening at Tri-State Memorial Hospital from bronchial asthma and heart trouble.

He had moved here from Pullman seven years ago, when he retired after being a self-employed plumber for 46 years. At Pullman he operated the Treaster Plumbing & Heating firm.

During his years of of retirement, Treaster busied himself with cabinet work, including the making of gunstocks. One of his prized accomplishments was a pistol. Each part he made.

He was a member of the Masonic Lodge at Pullman.

On June 29, 1965, he married Mrs. Treaster at Salmon, Ida. He had been married previously. Treaster was born Feb. 20, 1898, at Beloit, Wis.

Survivors include his widow, Mrs. Bette Treaster, at the family home; three daughters, Mrs. Anna Mae Kendall, Spokane, Mrs. Norman (Patricia) Randall, Pullman, and Mrs Virgil (Yvonne) Buhman, Lewiston; and eight grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

Funeral arrangements are pending at Merchant Funeral Home.

Also included with the obit is a picture of Frank. Unfortunately his photo did not copy well. If you would like the copy of the obit I made from the Tribune, please let me know and I would be more than happy to mail it to you. It is a readable copy.

I did call the Merchant Funeral Home in Clarkston and their records indicated that Frank was buried in the Pullman Cemetery in Pullman Washington. I am afraid I am not familiar with this cemetery at all. I am willing to try and find it though in the near future. Pullman is located approximately 30-40 minutes from Lewiston so that is not too far.

(Of note: The Wash Death Index lists his date of death as July 29, 1970.)

Hope this helps!

Re: Miller and Matheny families of Asotin County, Washington

2005-05-05 16:22:04Z

Hi,
Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. About the time you put your enquiry on the board my computer crashed and I had to buy a new one. In looking up the clip on Mrs. Every Miller I can tell you that it is not one of your people. This is because it is really about a Mrs. Avery Miller and the person who typed up this book put the wrong first name in the index.
Janet French Crisp

Re: Miller and Matheny families of Asotin County, Washington

2005-03-18 02:19:25Z

In searching the web for relatives in the United States, I came accross the reference to Mrs. Every Miller. This is a unique name only held by descendents of Major General Edward Every Miller and Francis Grace Hay Murray-McGregor, who married in North Lieth (Edinburgh), Scotland on 29 February 1836. I hold their Wedding Certificate.

I would be very interested to hear if the Mrs. Every Miller on your site is any relative.

Obituaries

2004-09-19 13:01:14Z

I read your offer to look for obituaries in the Asotin area. In 1895, my second great grandfather, W.N (Wilbert Nicholas) Peaslee, died in the Concord/Asotin area. The notification of his death "in Washington" appeared in the Oshkosh, WI paper 26 Oct 1895. Nothing more was added. By 1899, his son George listed himself as editor in Concord when he married.

Our family enjoyed the company of Raymond Scheibe. Such a fine man. I wonder if the Weissenfels also came from around Stevens Point. anyhow, one of their clan, Lynn W. taught school here in Quincy, WA before moving to Yakima (I think.)

Re: Barney (Baard) Olson Egge

2004-04-25 16:27:11Z

Barney J. Olson listed in 1910 US census for Clarkston, Aotin Co., Washington is listed there as 64 yrs old, emigrated ca 1844?, in first marriage (44 yrs). Wife's name is Carrie, 62 or 63 yrs old, emigrated ca 1839. One son still at home - name William H., 22 yrs old, born Idaho.

He appears earlier in Idaho censuses and possibly before that location in the Dakota territory - always married to a Carrie, Cary, etc. Doesn't really look like a match to me.

Re: Orin Evans and Cordelia E. Cleveland Evans of Clarkston, WA

2004-02-17 17:10:14Z

On further looking into my 'stuff' I found a picture of Cordelia Evans, Alf Cleveland (brother who did not marry) Orin Evans (her son) Minerva Parker Cleveland (her mother) Larkin Jerry Cleveland (Father) and Bessie. Orin looks to be about 10 and Bessie 6. The photo was taken in Golden City, Missouri and since Orin Sr. was not in it, I would assume she took the kids back to visit her folks. I am unsure when Larkin Jerry went to Idaho where he died in 1906. Minerva died about the same time in Missouri

Orin Evans and Cordelia E. Cleveland Evans of Clarkston, WA

2004-01-09 12:57:34Z

Orin EVANS was born 20 OCT 1841 in Alexandria, Jefferson, NY, the son of Albert EVANS and Marietta CARNEGIE. As late as 1880 he still resided in Jefferson county with his first wife Fannie J. BARRETT and son Fred Barrett EVANS.

Shortly thersafter he followed his father and brothers to Dade county MO where Fannie died in 1886. Within two years Orin remarried in Missouri, to Cordie Elizabeth CLEVELAND, born in Monroe county Tennessee, the daughter of Larkin Jerry CLEVELAND and Minerva PARKER. They apparently followed her family to the Washington-Idaho border before 1903.

Orin died in Clarkston, WA on 21 JUN 1918. QUESTION: Were there any children from this second marriage?

Re: Orin Evans and Cordelia E. Cleveland Evans of Clarkston, WA

2004-02-16 00:00:54Z

Thank you for writing! I have since learned that there were three children, and one of the daughters died young. The son's name was Orin Cleveland Evans; I don't know if he married or had children.

Re: Orin Evans and Cordelia E. Cleveland Evans of Clarkston, WA

2004-02-15 22:24:36Z

My grandfather, Harvey Haywood Cleveland was a brother of Cordie, "Aunt Cordie" as she was known in the family. I think she moved to Idaho when her brother, Pressley Parker Cleveland moved west to Wa. in 1889 and then to Idaho and setled in Gifford. He had 10 children so there are many descendents out there. I do not have any records of children with Aunt Cordie.

, Melvina, age 25, born Washington Territory (WT)

In the April 17th newspaper, there was a correction:

"Admitted - Mrs. Bertha Pollei, 1113 10th St, Clarkston, was admitted to Tri-State Memorial Hospital Thursday night. An incorrect report in yesterday's Tribune stated that she had
been dismissed."

AND, her obituary was in Wednesday, April 21, 1971's Lewiston Morning Tribune. It said she died "yesterday," or the 20th. Anyway - I have a copy of the obituary to send you soon as I receive your snail mail address.

pg 17,
Bean, O E age 44, born WI, farmer
, M A age 26, born KS
, Fred age 4, born WT

I just returned from a trip to the Salt Lake genealogy library where I found a copy of the 1889 Asotin County census that was not copyrighted so I copied it. I will gladly do lookups in this census. There are about 1500 names on it and there are no designations of neighborhoods or towns, so I can't tell you what part of Asotin county anyone was living in.

Somehow I misread the date on the paper for this article and the trip actually took place in 1912 as was brought to my attention by another researcher that I sent the article to.

Mullins / Scoggins / Davidson / Scoggin

un62aab3 — 2004-04-30 12:38:38Z

I'm looking for information on my grandfathers 2nd wife or any of the following people. We believe her name was Stella Irene (or visa versa) Scoggins. She married a Davidson and had two sons, Lawrence (Larry) Davidson and Kennith (Kenny) Davidson. She married my grandfather, William Grover Cleveland Mullins, sometime around 1925. The Washington State, Asotin county, Clarkston City, 1930 census lists Cleve Mullins married to Stella with sons, Lawrence and Kennith Davidson. It states that Stella, and the boys were born in WA. and that the father of the boys was also born in WA. Stellas father was born in Nebraska and her mom was born in Kansas. I know that they all lived in Cowlitz county WA (Longview or Kelso) sometime after 1930. Larry and Kenny were my fathers half brothers and he remembers them but doesn't know what happened to them. I have Stella's birth at about 1903, Lawrence at about 1921 and Kenny at about 1923.

F. O. Michael & Florence Searles Marriage

RuthAnnMontgomery — 2005-02-25 21:02:06Z

Miss Florence Searles was married yesterday afternoon at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Willis Searles, to Mr. F. O. Michael of Silcott, Wash. Only the family and immediate relatives of the bride were present, about eighteen in all. The house was decorated with ferns and dahlias.

At 4:30 o'clock to the music of the Lohengrin wedding march, the bride and groom took their place, accompanied by little Miss Kathleen Grabill as flower girl and ring bearer. The ring service was used, Rev. D. Quincy Grabill being the officiating minister.

The bride was gowned in white crepe de chien and carried white roses.

After the ceremony the guests sat down to the wedding supper served by the Misses Marion and Dorothy Cole. Mr. and Mrs. Michael left on the 10 o'clock train last night for St. Paul. From there they will go to Roundup Mont., to visit for a day or two with Mrs. Carolyn Hatch Barron. They will also visit at Harlowton, Mont., at the home of Mrs. Blanche Hess Barron. From there they will go to their future home near Silcott, Wash., where Mr. Michael owns a fine fruit farm.

Ira David Perkins, (b. circa 1880 MO)
m. Seigar Tisdale (b. 9/18/1890, d. 9/24/1964 WA)

They were living in Lewiston in 1943. Unfortunately I know nothing of them after this point, but found in the Social Security Death Index that Seigar Perkins died in WA.. I'm hoping that possibly they just moved across the border into Clarkston.. I'm sure an obituary for Seigar would be my best bet, since I know the death date..

Any information would be greatly appreciated..

When my grandfather, Charles Lemart Smotherman died 11/21/1938, with tuberculosis at the Asotin Co. Asylum, she claimed his body for burial (by the Merchant Funeral Home) in the Clarkston, WA area. Does anyone have any info on them, or their decendants? I would also like to find out where my grandfather is buried and if any records from the asylum are available. Does you know where to find a listing of the Clarkston cemeteries?
I am willing to exchange info. Families include Smotherman, Eades, Thomas, Reid, Deihl, Bedingfield, and many more.

If you would like to have more information, I don't know what you are looking for, I may have what you need. I'm transcribing my grandmothers bibles and diaries, and have slowly collected more information on siblings and the like. Currently, I'm trying to find out where her and Milo's parents are buried. So...perhaps we will be able to help each other out, if you're still looking this query up!

Hi Carole -

I just found your Rootsweb posts,.. and you just have to be kin.

I found your Charles Laymon Craig (married Mortha M. - Helloooooo MARTHA),.. on the 1900 census next to his father James H. Craig (1820 - Aft. 1900 - Asotin Co., WA). On the many census's... your Charles shows up as Charles S. and Charles G. Craig in the transcribed records.. but when you posted Charles Laymon Craig,.. it all came together as the three letters are often confused when viewed in script form... PLUS... these Craigs maintain a number of folks named Layman/Lyman.. so the family form is perpetuated. It all makes sense now. They had one daughter on the 1900 Census, Bessie, born July 1899.

I have your Craig ancesters, if you like. Please contact me at this email address. Thank you and very highest regards !! You provided the key that cracked this line open for me.

Re: Silcott and the Alpowa

ShirleyLarsen74 — 2003-08-28 20:17:56Z

I just came across this message board and although it is dated quite awhile ago I thought you still might be interested in this data.
My great grandfather was Weldon Wilson of the Wilson-Banner Ranch and one time postmaster at Silcott (before Cliff Wilson, his brother). Weldon's daughter, Anna Laura (married 'Onnie' Palmer) had a sheep ranch on Alpowa Creek.
I hope this is enough to peek your interest. I have been doing the family history now for about a year and have come up with all kinds of surprizes. I could write a whole book on where and how I found some of the information.

Re: Are you looking for APPLEFORDS or WILSONS?

ShirleyLarsen74 — 2003-08-28 20:17:56Z

I don't know if this is the right WILSON family that you are looking for, but my great great grandfather was Weldon Wilson. The Wilson-Banner Ranch was his and it is still in the family. I have much information on this line of the Wilson family.

Re: Are you looking for APPLEFORDS or WILSONS?

ShirleyLarsen74 — 2003-08-28 20:17:56Z

I don't see a connection there. My Wilson's stayed in Asotin Co. Cliff Wilson was the postmaster at Silcott from 1905 - 1931 and he also had the general store. His half brother, William had a general store and saloon just down the 'street'. My GG grandfather, Weldon Wilson, was the original Wilson of the Wilson Banner Ranch in Asotin Co. and the Ranch is still in the family.

But it was worth a shot. I have 'found' so many connections lately that I could write a whole book on just finding all this family.

Here is something. A friend of my mother's is a Wilson (not connected) living in Clarkston, Asotin Co. so there are other Wilson's still around there.

Re: BUCHANAN'S ANYONE?

Descendants of Charles and Mollie E. (Lukens) Foster

EricAndersen1958 — 2005-02-25 20:59:50Z

I am searching for addresses for descendants of Charles and Mollie E. (Lukens) Foster, who farmed in Clarkston as late as 1930 (on the census there). They had children; Alice, Mary, Erwin, Florence, and Robert, all born between 1907 and 1914. Mollie's mother, Mary, and my great grandfather were siblings. I am also looking for an address for what was known as the Clarkston Cemetery in 1924, so that I may find a cemetery record for Mary (Kelly) Bradshaw (Mollie's mother). Thank you.

Looking for information on my gg-grandparents.
Elam Ethan Allen married Kathry Irene Aplington Dec 1898 in Anatone. He had a harness shop there for about 10 years. By 1910 they had moved to Sunnyside.

Elam was born in OR abt 1869. His father born IL, his mother born IA. I don't know their names. Elam had at least one brother, John L. b abt 1865 also in OR.

Kathryn was born abt 1880 in KS. Her parents were Erastus Caleb Aplington b NY(died in Colorado, I don't think he ever made it to Washington) and Affa Harding Goodsell b PA. Affa moved to Sunnyside with her daughter's family and was buried in Asotin Cemetery when she died 1913.

I descend from Elam and Kathryn's daughter Helen, the youngest of their 9-10 children. She died in 1958, after divorcing my grandfather. My dad was only 11 years old and the families lost contact after her death. I would like to share information with others researching these families.

Alphens C. Williams came to Asotin Co., Washington with his daughter from what I can gather. He is the son of Cornelius and Betsy DeField Williams and was born in 1852 in Michigan. They went from Michigan to Kansas where his parents and youngest brother stayed. The two oldest boys ended up in Wyoming (brn 1844 and 1850 in Michigan) and Alphens is married in 1883 in Kansas and thier only child (Bessie Violet who marries Milo Gepson or Gipson or Gibson in 1904 in Idaho) was born in 1884 in Nebraska.

Re: SHERRY

LindaHarris51 — 2003-11-27 13:08:29Z

Hi, was just reading about your Sherry's.
My Grandparents Edith Pearl WILSON & Donald BUCHANAN, were friends with the SHERRY family('s) from Montgomery Ridge, in Asotin. My mom has talked about a lady she called Aunt Mame (Mom couldn't remember her maiden name), she mar. a Marion SHERRY, they had a Harry & Lucy Ethel (Lou) who married an O'DONNELL, they moved to Chelan were my grandparents moved. Mame also had a sister named Charolette (Aunt Lottie) who was mar. to a WHITNEY, her sons turned out to be train robbers that had a write up in the mag. "Wild West" a few years. Am not sure if any of these connect with your family or not? Just adds a little color to the Asotin History.

Re: Are you looking for APPLEFORDS or WILSONS?

LindaHarris51 — 2003-11-27 13:08:29Z

I'm not sure either??
I have a Robert Abner WILSON, who with his wife Eliza Jane APPLEFORD WILSON & children, of Lyons, Elgin, Ontario Canada, who move west & ended up in Asotin Co. WA., abt. 1885. At least 2 of Eliza's brothers George & William APPLEFORD, where already in the area. They ranched & he was also the Co. Assessor. In 1910 they moved with part of their family to Dewberry, Alberta Canada. Some of the family stayed in the States.
Anything connect??

Re: Are you looking for APPLEFORDS or WILSONS?

LindaHarris51 — 2003-11-27 13:08:29Z

Thank you for your reply..
Actually I'm looking for WILSONS, APPLEFORDS & BUCHANANS, all who lived in Asotin in the early 1900's.
My grandmother Edith Pearl WILSON, in 1909 went to Moscow, ID. to the Teachers Institute, she later taught school in Silcott, but am not sure of what year (believe it would have been sometime between 1910 & 1915). She later 1915 married my grandfather Donald B. BUCHANAN [many of his family had lived in Asotin Co. WA.]

Re: BUCHANAN'S ANYONE?

LindaHarris51 — 2003-11-27 13:08:29Z

J.C. & Amanda BUCHANAN are John Calvin & Amanda Harriet GOFOTH BUCHANAN, from Mitchell Co. N.C..
They came to OR., WA. (close to Asotin) in about 1900-01.
They were the uncle & aunt of my Grandfather, Donald Bracknell (Doc or Brackie) & his bro. Luther Carl (Lute) BUCHANAN, who were sent west to live with them after the death of their mother about 1901-02.
I thought they were buried in the Cloverland Cemetery??

Re: William PEARSALL

JudyStauffer — 2005-07-01 18:29:18Z

I am also researching PEARSALLs. The reason is that I believe a Laura PEARSALL, a daughter of Anna and Luther Lawrence PEARSALL, married an ancestor I am researching, Abile GOBLE. I found a William PEARSALL in the 1860 Census of Blue Rapids Twp., Marshall Co., Kansas Territory, same place as Abile and Laura GOBLE. I know that Abile went to WA in 1864 by wagon train. I checked Walla Walla Co., WA census for 1870 and found Abile GOBLE, William PEARSALL, and L.L. PEARSALL all on the same page of that census. I believe they all traveled West together. Charles, if you can shed any more light on what you have, and whether William has a sister, Laura, it would help very much. Hope to hear from you.

Re: Scheibe

mirish26 — 2004-05-01 18:50:54Z

Interesting how families are connected. I have mainly been researching a Stumm line. One of my Stumm ancestry married an Alberts and had two children (Will Alberts and Jennie Alberts). Jennie married the John Scheibe you mention in your message of July 9, 2002. (Her name was Alberts rather than Albers). John Scheibe died 12/16/1927 and is buried in Lakeview Cemetery in Eau Claire, WI. He and Jennie were in their 40's when they were married and did not have children. Jennie is also buried in Lakeview. If you have any other information on John and Jennie I will gladly take it! Another of my Stumm ancestry (my great-grandmother) married a Weissenfels (in Wisconsin). However, most of the Weissenfels clan also moved to Washington and some of that line still live in the Asotin / Valleyford area.

Asotin Sentinel,
12 Jan 1912,
The Asotin Commercial Club is promoting Asotin as 'Second to None.' A contest, suggested by Raymond Scheibe, was conducted to find a slogan. Ona Woodruff was paid $2.50 for her idea---"Anchor at Asotin."

Results of the Field Day; Floyd Woodruff,1st in running the mile and relay race; Raymond Scheibe-Hammer Throw.

25 Dec 1921, From the page of Merry Christmas'.
A Merry Christmas to Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Scheibe. Any wish that the Sentinel might make you people could hardly be expected to bring greater happiness than your home already possesses, since the coming of that wonderful little son. May he possess all of the good qualities of his mother and grow to be as good a man as his father.

A Merry Christmas to J. H. Scheibe and Family. Your home is bound to be as happy as can be, for you are just that way and can't help it, and the Sentinel rejoices with you. May all your days be of that character.

Lewiston Morning Tribune, 16 Oct 1977
County historical society honors Raymond Scheibe
Raymond Scheibe, retired Asotind County assesor was given an honary life membership in the county historical society Monday night.

The orginization meeting at the Lewis and Clark Savings and Loan Assn. building at Clarkston, saw films about the late L. K. Brown's early steam-operated combine that Scheibe once operated on the Asotin Flats.

The combine was said to be one of the finest, if not the first, self-propelled combines to operate in the Lewiston-Clarkston area. That was in 1912.

Scheibe was born in Asotin County late in the 1800's and has been involved in many activities in this area through the years.

She died in mid 1960's and was married to Floyd Weathers), & Edgar (lived in Missouri when he died). His half-sibling by GI Poe and Dora Listine Jowers were: Sidney Ava, Kenneth "Bunk" (lived in Hickman,Kentucky), and Edith. My Mom (Sidney Ava) was born in Parsons, Tn. in Oct. 1907, so he lived in Tennessee for a while (he may even have been born in Tenn, I don't know). He came to visit my Mom & Dad (Modie Lester Adams) in 1970 in Mesquite, Texas with his wife, and he had a daughter who was about 5 at the time. I do not know any of his children's names. He went to visit his family because he had cancer and wanted to see them one last time. He died not long after this visit. This was the first time my Mom had seen him since the early 1930's when my parents lived in Fulton County, Ky. I was in the service at the time of the visit, and Mom told me of the visit, but (wish I had now) I never asked questions, yet I wished I could have met him. Would love to hear from any of his family, or anyone that knew him or has information on him or his family. Thanks,

Mr. Post & Annie's marriage place, date, unknown to me, but likely Asotin, WA. By 1916, Mr. & Annie Sherrod Post moved to Miles City, Montana. Their 3 sons were Claude, Homer, and Virgil. My informant said the 3 boys never married.

Given the names, they appear likely to be related to the family you are seeking, even though it doesn't add up yet. Perhaps others can help out.

He was a Baker and also a sailor (sea-going vessels as a Steward) Came to Calif. 1875 and to Anatone 1880 to work in the saw mill. Married, but wife died many years ago.

Thatcher family in early 1900's

VKREJCI — 2002-06-16 19:59:38Z

On the back of a postcard sent to Gertie Thatcher from cousin Frankie Thatcher sent from Bellingham Washington in October of 1911. Frankie wrote saying your papa is here with us. He leaves on the boat today. Gertie's papa was Walter Thatcher from Dacoma OK. He and 2 others took the Indian Princess boat to Alaska to hunt for gold. I think Frankie's dad was Joe Thatcher. Any infor would be appreciated.

You didn't give any first names on your Allen inquiry....Elam E. Allen was the youngest son of James Miller Allen, who was a sargeant on the Military Immigrant wagontrain of 1845 - also known as the Lost Immigrants or the Blue Bucket Gold Train. James M. Allen had a Donation Land Claim in Polk County, OR, but in the 1870s he moved his family to Prineville. A few years later the family moved farther north to Boyd. James M. Allen is buried in Durfur, OR. Elam married (Kathryn) Rena Aplington and settled at Joseph Creek OR/WA in the 1880s and in the early 1900s moved to Anatone. Is there any connection?

Hello cousin! I am a descendant of Thomas Imes Hardesty, a brother of Mercer Hardesty. I am in touch with 2 of Mercer's other siblings, namely Rebecca and Samuel. Mercer's father was Noah Hardesty. I am trying to find out Noah's parent's names.

I would be glad to share what I have on the family. I am currently waiting for information from Rebecca's side. I would be really interested in whatever you have on Mercer's descendants. Glad to meet you.

Thomas Hardesty started in Indiana, to Illinois, Missouri, Oregon, Washington, and died in Hood River, Oregon. My family still lives there. I live in Idaho Falls, ID

HAMILTON

runmoss — 2002-09-01 01:29:31Z

My great grandmother was Clara L. Hamilton. Her parents were James Hamilton and Martha A. Welden. James and Marth's other children included: Geroge, Florence (FLora), Frank, Ella, William, Fred, and Harry. Flora married Frederick Last. Frank married Ortha Reese. Ella married a Phillips and then Clemens Kappler. William was hung for rape and murder by a lynch mob in Asotin in 1903. George, Fred, and Harry, I know very little about. Frank inherited the family farm after the death of his father in 1919.
I believe that his son, Otto, acquired it after his death in 1922.
