There is a family tree of this person on Ancestry.com at:
http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/4325834/person/-1621478374?ss...=
If this is not your family tree, the person developing it might be related. They might also have the obituary you seek. They certainly have information on his family.

Hi Sharon,
Did you know you posted on the Ferry Co., Washington Message Board?

I did find his Social Security Death Index record but it's the same info that you had posted.

The last Census that is viewable by the public was the 1930 Census. After 1930 it is much more difficult to find info about people.

You might have better luck if you post on the Georgia, Missouri and Florida Message Boards. If you know which county he was in for each state, post on those Message Boards.

Also you can post on the Ferry Surname Message Board. If one doesn't exist for Ferry, ask RootsWeb to create one for you. Successful Searching!

Re: Request Picture of 1910 Eilenberger Bakery

detamike — 2009-02-16 18:35:19Z

Thank you so much for your help. I must have made my request rather obtuse. I am an Eilenberger from the Palestine, Texas, bakery and have numerous family pictures of the bakery from 1898 to current. Robert Eilenberger from Republic, Washington, is a new find and, when the census indicated that he too was a baker, I hoped to find a picture of his bakery as well. I thought it would be wonderful to put a picture of Robert's bakery with those I already have of our family bakery in Palestine.

Thank you again for your helpfulness. I hope a picture of Robert's bakery from 1900 - to 1930 surfaces.

Have a good day,
Deta (Dorothea) Eilenberger Rogillio

Re: Request Picture of 1910 Eilenberger Bakery

RBestrom7380 — 2009-02-11 18:15:06Z

The Eilenberger Bakery in Palestine, TX, must still be in operation as it comes up a plenty on a search. Use www.google.com or my favorite: http://www.alltheweb.com/advanced?cs=utf-8 (use exact phrase)

It shows in business since 1898, 903-729-2253. They may have pictures.
This picture is from 1989-1991

Request Picture of 1910 Eilenberger Bakery

detamike — 2009-02-11 02:24:34Z

I am looking for a picture of the Eilenberger Bakery in Republic which was owned by Robert and Marie Eilenberger from 1900 to, at least, 1920, according to the census. I was excited to finally trace Robert to Republic as we had always heard that a brother emigrated to the US with my great grandfather in 1881 and then went to Washington but, until the last month, it was simply a rumor. Thanks to ancestry.com I have finally found it was true and traced him to Republic. Unfortunately for me, Robert and Marie had no children so no long lost cousins to be found. My grandfather and father also owned an Eilenberger's Bakery in Palestine, Texas, at about the same time. It would be wonderful to have pictures of both bakeries. I would appreciate any help you could give me on where to find historical pictures of Republic. Thank you, Deta Eilenberger Rogillio

Hi,
Oh thanks for replying! I know that one of the foster children was named Ivan - he was in the army, stationed in Germany I think, and he once flew to England to visit Phyllis's brother Cyril, who was my grandad.

I'd love to phone you, but I don't know whereabouts you're living and I don't want to call you in the middle of the night. I'd also love to contact any of the foster or granchildren; if you'd like to contact me direct my email is jadiesmum@googlemail.com

karinsm — 2008-06-17 01:00:19Z

Judy, thanks for all those helpful suggestions! I will try to get the obits. Also, I realize that my query was probably much too general, so here are a few details I know about the Hougland family:

Marian Antoinette (“Nettie”) Abbott (also spelled Marion, Maryean) was born 29 Jan 1848 in Elkhart County, Indiana. Her parents were Eleazer C. Abbott and Sarah Ann Cook Abbott. She had a sister Alcena Marie Abbott Markle (she died 1917 in Iowa) and a brother Cary Abbott (he probably moved to White Salmon, Klickitat, Washington, prior to 1917). The Abbott family moved from Elkhart Co, Indiana, to Iowa about 1863 and settled near the Little Turkey River (Utica Township) in Chickasaw County.

Marian married George Wilson Hougland (born 1833 in Ohio, and a neighbor in the Utica Township) on 8 March 1865 in New Hampton, Chickasaw Co, Iowa. She died on 29 August 1934 and is buried in the cemetery in Republic as is her husband, who died on 26 March 1926.

In 1880, Marian and her family lived in Jackson, Winneshiek Co., Iowa, where George was a farmer. In 1897, they are selling their land there and moved west. In her sister Alcena's obituary in 1917 she is referred to as living in Spokane, Washington.

Known children:

Mirtie Hougland, b. 1866, Indiana?

The following were born in Utica Township or in Jackson Township, Chickasaw/Winneshiek Co, Iowa:

Minnie Hougland, b. 1868
Albert Hougland, b. 1870
Dora Hougland, b. 1871
Earl D. Hougland, b. 20 June 1875; he died 12 April 1948 (buried in the Republic Cemetery).
Hayes Wilson Hougland, b. 7 February 1877; he died 7 February 1942(buried in the Republic Cemetery).
Ethel Hougland, b. 1880
Ira G. Hougland, b 6 December 1887, died 8 October 1969 (buried in the Republic Cemetery)
Lloyd Lee Hougland, b 1890 Iowa?, died 6 April 1958 (buried in the Republic Cemetery)

Thanks again!

I'm looking for descendants in Ferry County of George Hougland and Marian/Marion Antoinette ("Nettie") Abbott Hougland. Both, and other family members, are buried in the Republic Cemetery. My husband's family is related to the Abbott's through Marian's mother Sarah Ann Cook Abbott who is the sister of Peter Cook. Her father was Eleazer Cary Abbott. The Cook family settled in Michigan, Indiana, and Iowa. The Cook and Abbotts were originally from New York. We have researched this family for quite some time and would very much like to share our information with any Hougland/Abbott descendants. Thank you.

Hi Karin, I don't know how successful you'll be with a generic posting like this. I've had better results by tracing the family through the Census and finding death info for the last member. I use that death info to get a copy of the obit. After I have the obit, I use www.switchboard.com to find contact info for descendants in the obit. Also, Republic is a small town and you're probably related to any Hougland there.

I found George and family living in Garfield, Whitman Co., WA in 1910. George W., head household, b. OH, 76 yrs old, marr 46 yrs, own income; Marion A., b. IN, 63, had given birth to 12 children who were alive in 1910; Denna, dau, b. IA, 24, single and Loyd L., single, b. IA, 20.

In 1920 Lloyd L. Hougland and family were living in East Republic, Ferry Co., WA. Lloyd L., b. IA, 29, ranger forest service; Allene L, b. IA, 25; Floyd W. b. WA, 5; Velda I., sister, single, b.IA, 35, saleswoman variety store.

You can get a copy of any obit published in WA State by contacting the Washington State Library, http://www.secstate.wa.gov/library/ask.aspx . Provide the name, death date & location. They will search the newspaper microfilm for 30 minutes at no charge & respond with what they find.

Ivan was my brother, he is now deceased. Ella mae, my sister was also raised by them. I was there from 13 to 18 or '53 to '59. Fred Van Doren and Morrie Van Dorenare Ellen's sons. They both live in Eastern Washington. I live South of Seattle, Wa.

What was your grandmother's name, and do you have a specific birthplace? Off-hand, I don't know anyone who married a Mulholland.

Thank you so much for this interesting information. Lon (Lonnie) Easley was my grandfather. Audra was his second wife, and Gloria and Virginia are my mother's half-sisters. I'll see if I can get hold of a copy of this book. Sounds like more interesting info for the family history files.

Thanks so much for your response. Wiley Johnson Easley was my great-grandfather (Lonnie's father), and Mary Marshall Easley Wiley's second wife (not my great-grandmother). I do know where Loon Lake is. I lived not far from there, as well as in Spokane, when I was a child, but had lost touch with all Easleys until I started researching the family. My family left Washington in 1948 and never returned. I now live in California, and am in touch with some of the Easleys since my early posts.

Thanks again for taking the time to write.

Re: Marriage Lookups - Levi Brown/Margaret Atkins

thanks for the pointer. the only problem is that I have Levi BROWN b. 1880 in Canada parents George and Margaret. Levi and his brothers went to Washington State, around Douglas, Chelan, Great Falls, Whitlash areas. Brothers were Samuel, John, Joshua, Robert. Levi was to have a ranch in the Sweet Grass area. he either married Eva SHRIEKA or Margaret ATKINS. which one is correct. I need the names of the parents to find out which is correct. the 1910 census shows L.L. BROWN living with Eva and family?? unknown where the were before or what happened to Levi after. my brick wall
