Death Calls Lewis Lipscy

Lewis A Lipscy, long-time valley resident, died Saturday at the Valley General Hospital at the age of 67, following surgery.

Lipscy was born Dec. 12, 1894 at Kosota, Minn., and came here 35 years ago. He married Mildred Kitzerow at Hill City, Minn., on Dec 13, 1913. For the past 25 years they had made their home at 603 Main St., where they operated a hatchery at one time. He also was engaged in the lumber industry and in trucking. He had been in ill health for several years. Lipscy was a member of St Andrews Catholic Church.

Survivors include Mrs. Lipscy, at the family home; two sons, Clifford Lipscy of Ellensburg and Henry Lipscy of Missoula, Mont., a brother, Jim Lipscy of Ellensburg; three sisters, Mrs. Rosie Erickson of Hibbing, Minn., Mrs. Laura Pierce and Mrs. Myrtle Smart of Tacoma; six grandchildren and one great-grandchild.

Rosary will be said tonight at St Andrew's church at 7:30 and requiem mass Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock. Burial will be in Holy Cross cemetery.

[this would indicate his death date as Saturday, April 21, 1962]

The 1959 Ellensburg City Directory says:
Valley
- General Hospital & Clinic (Burton A Foote) 301 4th av E

I looked it up on google maps and there is no hospital there anymore. If you look at the Sattelite view on google, you can scroll around and view the images of the buildings. Their is an old brick building on one corner that could have been a hospital... but it could be the corner where the safeway store is, too.

The obit for Lewis says he died at the Valley General Hospital. Problem I don't know where that hospital and I can't find anything on the internet with that name. It was in 1962 so that hospital may not be in existence anymore.

How do I find out where that hospital was located??

Thanks
Mary

obit for Lewis Arthur Lipscy died 1962

MaryESicard — 2013-04-25 02:35:57Z

His tombstone says he died in 1962 and I would assume it was in Ellensburg where he lived. His wife died there some years later.

I looked at the Washington Digital archives but I don't believe they have records from Kittitas County and he is not shown.

Hope someone can find out when he died, perhaps a call to the Holy Cross Cemetery.

THanks

This is part of the Washington Rural Heritage digital collection.

Thanks, I have already tried to get a death certificate, and no luck.

The had a photo done of her corpse (which I have), so I doubt if they would have just put a wooden grave marker. Her mother had at least 10 miscarraiges, and she was absolutely devoted to her children.

I'll get the resources you mentioned.

Thanks again.

Re: Cemetery Lookup Please

judyartley53 — 2012-04-05 04:55:25Z

Hi Bill,
Sometimes cemetery information is in the obituary and generally it's on the death certificate. However, rarely are obituaries written for young children (she was born in 1895 and died in 1897?) and death certificates weren't required on a state level until 1907.

I checked the Kittitas County Early Death Records, rootsweb.ancestry.com/~wakcgs/KCGS_index.htm but she wasn't listed.

If the family placed a wooden or temporary marker, many times those disappeared over time and the info was then lost forever. I did find a couple lists of cemetery indexes you can look through.

interment.net/us/wa/kittias.htm

mrail.net/wash/kittitas.htm

The Kittitas County Auditor does have death records for Kittitas Co. from 1891 to 1907. Here's the web site info about how to order a copy at http://co.kittitas.wa.us/auditor/recording.aspx .

I did look in Washington State Digital Archives but didn't find birth or death info for her but not all of the records are loaded at this time. Successful Searching!

I just came across your post. I am currently researching my family backround. William Robinson that you mention in your post is my grandfather. His father who was also William was married to Emma when he died in the coal mine accident in May of 1892. This is about as far as I was able to go since I don't know Emma's maiden name and I have not been able able to trace my great grandfather any further. Based on the information you provided I am now going to research the Whitehous link. I know your post was a long time ago but I would appreciated any additional information that you might have gathered. Thanks! Youcan contact me at wfr2455@yahoo.com

Cemetery Lookup Please

oldmedico — 2012-02-20 17:53:21Z

I am searching for the burial site of Florence Esther (Flossie) Cook, believed to have been born 17 Jun 1895 in Chewelah, Stevens County, WA; and died 7 May 1897 in Ellensburg (that is the date of a photo of her body).

Flossie was the youngest sister of my maternal grandmother, and we have been searching for her burial site for years.

Her father, John Dempster Cook, was a Minister at the Free Methodist Church in Rosyln and Cle Ellum, as well as in Ellensburg.

ANY information on her burial site would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Re: SANDMEYER, Ernest Theodore, biography

AprilSandmeyer — 2012-01-02 12:59:55Z

Thank you for posting this biography from An Illustrated History of Kickitat, Yakima, & Kittitas Counties, published in 1904. I just wanted to add a few things. Ernest was also known as Ernst. His father's name was Johnann Heinrich Sandmeyer,but he used John Henry. Ernest's half brother, "Henry", is actually John Henry Sandmeyer, my grandfather (father of Earl Sandmeyer.Olga married Frank Haessler and lived in WI. My copy of the family tree shows Ernest's mother's name as Maria Tschudin, not Tschudy.The saga continues...My daughters: Maya Cristina Sandmeyer Caballero and Alissa Maria Caballero. Grandchildren: Lucy & Oliver Holohan & T. Rodriguez.Maybe one day they will read this.

The WA Death Certificate Index:
Frances Lorinda Dexter, died 7 Feb 1941 in Ellensburg, age 82 years 1 month 18 days (20 December 1858), married to John B. Dexter, father: William B. Smith, Mother: "Custard."

There are a number of family trees for this woman.
She was born 2 December 1858 in Illinois, duaghter of William Badger Smith and Elizabeth McNaught. Married John Benson Dexter on 21 Feb 1881 in Stark County, Illinois. She lived in Bellingham, WA, as identified in the 1910, 20 and 30 US Census. John died in 1931 in Bellingham. He was previously married to Nellie Ramsdell that had died in 1880, and had a daughter Maud, born 1874. Frances had three identified children, Edith 1888-1927; Vernon 1882 to 28 May 1965 in Ephrata, Grant Co, WA. Roy Rex Dexter, 1899 to 15 may 1988 In Los Osos, San Luis Obispo, CA.

An obit: Many persons of this age did not have obituaries. They depended on the pre-spoken desire of the person, financial means of the descendents. It also depended on the length of time they had lived in an area. It appears she "might" have been in this area to live with/near her son Vernon. If she hadn't lived in the area long enough to gather a lot of family or friends, one might not be published here, but "possibly" in Bellingham. Other factors also exist.

With the "demise?" of the Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness, someone here might obtain the obit for you, otherwise:
The Washington State Library has a free research service, the ask-a-librarian program, where they will look for information in the archives, in this case the newspaper microfilm for an event. They will look up to an hour and send you the results. For an obituary: http://www.sos.wa.gov/library/Obituaries.aspx
Due to staff cuts, economy, mass requests, they are now taking up to six weeks.

The Roslyn Cemetery is actually 26-29 (depending on where you read) separate cemeteries next to each other. This brochure explains some about it
http://roslyncemetery.org/Documents/Walking%20Tour.pdf
There is an email in the brochure, perhaps you could write to them and ask if there is a master cemetery list.

The Child was Jane CLOSE, she was born 11 Jan 1908, Died 20 Jan 1908 in Cle Elum, Kittitas County. I have heard she was buried in the Roslyn Cemetery. I see there are plenty of cemeteries in the Roslyn/Cle Elum area. We are traveling through the area at the end of August and would like to be able to find the right cemetery. Is there anyone that could help me narrow the search? Thanks in Advance

Re: history of house

RBestrom7380 — 2011-07-24 08:20:59Z

The County Assessor would have the tax information, which depending on the county, can have extensive information online, limited or none.

The Kittitas County Assessor does have some info:

Go to:
http://www.co.kittitas.wa.us/taxsifterpublic/disclaimer.asp
Agree to the disclaimer.

In this case, just type in "7911" in the Situs(addess) box and press "Search."

The next window shows some limited information and has a photo. It does not identify the year built. The original Grantor is the same as the Grantee back in 1994. The residence could be from that time frame. However, there are out buildings that are considerably older. This plat could have been sub-divided from a larger property. Your best bet is to contact the Assessor's office and ask for information concerning the property.

The County recorder would have deed information for the property; but, they have no online records. Their website:

I would like to know where you got your information on Isaac F. Carlton. He was a brother to my great grandfather Robert C. Carlton of Surry/Yadkin County, North Carolina.
Some of the information is the same as I know it and some is different.

Re: William Methven son of William Methven and Sophia Archibald

ashkins — 2011-05-24 14:54:06Z

Sophia and William married 22 Apr 1910 at the Archibald home in Auchterderran, Fife, Scotland. (Married banns)

Sophia first came to America 17 July 1910. She was the first of the Archibald family to move to Kittitas County, Washington. She went back to Scotland sometime during 1911 and gave birth while there to their oldest daughter. Returned to Ronald, Washington 19 Aug 1912 when her daughter was 10 months old. I have both ships manifests. Sophia's birth record and marriage record.

I don't know much about Will and Sophia's grandchildren but I have quite a few photos of Will and Sophia and Sophia's family.

I am William and Sophia Archibald Methven's great niece. Sophia was one of 11 children. (8 that lived in to adulthood). Her sister Mary is my great grandmother.

If you have any questions about Sophia Archibald please ask. I have quite a few photos that my grandmother had and from other family members. There are many Archibald descendants.

If you are on facebook look me my maiden name is Ash. Use it as my middle name. :)

I found another article about William and Dorothy from 1947, which said they had one child, but it didn't identify if it was a girl or boy, or if that child was living with them. I will email you the article if you write to me directly at widdis77777(at)hotmail.com

If you have not already, check out the Washington Digital Archives at http://www.digitalarchives.wa.gov/default.aspx for Naturalization and vital records. I found a death notice for William in the Seattle Times on September 28, 1949.

Methven, William of 225 sunset Blvd. Renton, September 27. Son of Mrs. and Mrs. William Methven Sr.; brother of Robert, Tacoma, Mrs. Sophia Carpenter, Olympia; Genevieve Lewis and Helen Ball of Renton. Services Thursday 1:30 PM at Stokes Family Mortuary. Internment at Mt. Olivet Cemetery.

There was also a birth notice for a son for Mr. and Mrs. William Methven on April 5, 1945 - it was in the paper on April 27. Would this be your Dad?

Chalicesilflow — 2011-05-21 00:07:56Z

Does anyone know anything about William Metheven? He married Dorothy Tollman and had at least two children. One was my father who was put up for adoption when he was one month old. The other is his sister who was one year older than him. I am trying to find contacts for family members, especially his sister. Any information about this would be helpful! I am William Metheven and Sophia Archibald's great great granddaughter and I recently found out that the Metheven family is my true blood family. Thank you!

The link provided for the Google site, does NOT have Philip Days. I hate it when someone provides a link and doesn't check it first to see if it's valid.

Their gravestone shows he was born in 1893
http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=da...;

Lloyd is also buried there. It shows a place on his stone for Edythe. Search site www.zabasearch.com shows a potential Edythe and daughter.
