McEachron & Son Logging Co.

NaeMiz — 16 Jul 2008 12:48:51 GMT

I'm looking for any information on the McEachron & Son Logging Company. They operated out of Cowlitz County (presumably, either Longview or Kelso - ?) in the 1940s/50s.

My great-grandmother's husband, Earl Edwards, was a logger and he died from injuries sustained in a logging accident at the company's work site near Abernathy Creek in July 1951. I'm hoping to find any information about the company, such as employment records, accident reports, the owners' names...basically, anything. Thanks.

Chauncy Silver. Drowned in Cowlitz River

After several years of looking I found a death record for my great-uncle Chauncy Silver. He died of drowning in 1943--the family said in the Willamette. He didn't--he died in the Cowlitz 23 april 1943. Can some one tell me what newspapers in that area might have carried the story?
I know very little about Uncle Chauncy (who also used John)

1890 Special Census - Civil War Veterans and Widows

jennyrt — 29 Oct 2007 1:14:15 GMT

Hello,

I just posted a transcription of the 1890 Special Census of Civil War Veterans and Widows (Union) to the Cowlitz Co., WA GenWeb site. Since the regular 1890 census was largely destroyed in a fire (including all of Washington state), this is the only surviving record of at least some of the people enumerated in 1890. I provided space for annotations, so if someone from your line is listed, please let me know to have your information posted on the census.

Nellie Marie Smith-Formerly Nellie M Bishop

kdhall50 — 7 May 2007 5:09:12 GMT

Nellie M Bishop was the daughter of Lynne Bishop. They lived in the Longview area. Nellie was born about 1922 in Tacoma. I figure she graduated from R.A. Long high school about 1939.

In the city directory of 1940 I see where Nellie was living with her father. I am assuming that she married a fellow with the last name of Smith. I know she was living in the Longview area in 1966.

If this name rings a bell or if anyone has any information, would sure appreciate it. And if the name Lynne Bishop rings a bell. His second wife was Virginia Bishop. I have no idea when Virginia passed away, but I do know she died in the Longview area around the 1960's. Her husband Lynne evidently moved to Fayetteville, Arkansas where he passed away in 1986.

Thanks for your help.

Lizzie Umiker, wife of Herchel Roberts

TerriYoung70 — 29 Jul 2007 10:00:22 GMT

I am searching for information about the wife of Herchel Leonedis Roberts, Lizzie Umiker. Herchel was born in North Carolina 25 Jul 1875 and died 11 Sep 1921 in Castle Rock, Cowlitz, Washington. He married Lizzie 11 Feb 1900 in Cowlitz county, Washington, and together they had two sons, Aaron and Alto.
Lizzie was witness with my gg-grandfather, Abraham, to the marriage of his brother, and a married sister of Abraham was witness to Lizzie's marriage, so I think Lizzie is an aunt of mine. I just haven't found her listed definitely as a member of the family. If she is, her parents are Samuel Umiker and Anna Maria (Mary) Wernli

Probate record request - Roy Waller

copet1 — 11 Oct 2006 9:21:44 GMT

My great-grandfather's youngest brother moved out to Longview and died there in 1947. His name was Roy Lawrence Waller. I was wondering if there is someone out there that goes frequently to the courthouse and that might be able to look up his will and any pertinent documents in his probate file.

Roy had a son, "Donald of Michigan", but I've never been able to locate him. I'm hoping there is something in the probate file.

I will be more than happy to reimburse for costs. I simply cannot visit the courthouse on my own, as I live in Milwaukee, WI. Thank you!!!!

lindaoviatt — 15 Feb 2006 8:48:30 GMT

Could I get a cemetery look up for the name of William E Ovitt, a death date and a cemetery location if available. As I am interested in an obit.
On the 1930 Census Mr. Ovitt was a farmer who lived on Coweeman Road. The census gives the town as Upper Coweeman. He was 53 years old at that time. His death is NOT on the SSDI so I believe he died before or about 1934.
Thank you in advance

Dunlaps in Cowlitz County circa 1923-1950

jcwrhino — 29 Sep 2006 6:19:32 GMT

I am seeking any information on brothers James L. Dunlap (1930 census of Longview Wa. with wife Madeline M.) and William Brewer Dunlap (Cowlitz Co. resident joined the US ARMY in 1942).

It is believed William Brewer was married for a short period of time in the late 1920's to Marjorie Knee who was listed (in the home of her sister and brother-in-law Fred and Helen Shane) as Marjorie E Dunlap in the 1930 census of Kelso Wa.

Both James (1902) and William Brewer (1906) were born in Louisiana. It is also believed their baby sister Deloresmae was born in Longview Wa. in 1923 after her parents relocated there from Louisiana. Parents John Woody and Mollie Dunlap later moved to Weed Ca. where they appeared in the 1930 census.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I'm looking for relatives of Jessie Morning. She died in 1992 in Longview.
I think her father - William Morning (born Scotland 1876 - died Musselshell, MT 1967) is the great uncle of my wife. I have been researching the Morning family in Scotland and have quite a lot of information to share.

Marriage certificate or proof of same: Shumaker to Joy or Cook 1935

Jon Shumaker — 18 Mar 2005 2:17:33 GMT

I used to hear my mother talk of meeting and marrying my dad in Kelso or even possibly Longview in 1935. I am sure that she was married to him as she needed the certificate to prove to a court judge that she had the nessasary ingredients to provide a family envirement in order to get her children from a previous marriage back. I would like to obtain a copy of the marriage certificate but am not completely sure of the date of the marriage. Off hand I would say before September of 1935. Is there one of you readers that are in the Kelso area, as that I am sure is the county seat for Cowlitz County. My dad's name was JL Shumaker and my mother's maiden name that she used was Joy, but she may have used Cook, as that is how she was born. Thank you.
