Newspapers from Wilbur and Sherman Washington

galaxie63 — 5 Aug 2008 9:30:41 GMT

Does anyone know if the towns of Wilbur and Sherman Washington had Newspapers? Or where would the newspaper be printed that the people of Wilbur or Sherman would have read. The time frame is 1880 to 1900. I am interested in getting some obits and marriage articles.

Evers/Lucht

klemeyer70 — 5 Aug 2008 10:39:34 GMT

I am looking for a photograph of Louisa Carolina (Evers) Lucht, my great-grandmother. She was born 10 Dec 1858 in Carrick township, Bruce Co., Ontario; and she died 20 June 1946 in Spokane, Spokane Co., Washington; but she lived most of her life in Reardan, Lincoln Co., WA. She was the wife of William Frederick Lucht. They had three sons (Otto August, William Frederick Jr., and Christian John) and one daughter (Maria Wilhelmena). I am the granddaughter of Louisa's son, Franklin Albert Evers. I am told that some of her Lucht descendants are still living in Lincoln County, in or near Reardan. Does anyone know any? If you have Lucht or Evers ancestry, I would love to hear from you!

Williams, Nancy E. died 1913 Spraque/Lamont

Dan Brown — 25 Mar 2006 8:26:35 GMT

I'm hoping someone can find a obit or funeral records for a cousin.

Nancy Elvira (Daniels) Williams born 1870 in Iowa, married John F. Williams about 1902 probably in Illinois. John and Nancy are in the 1910 census of Whitman Co.. She died 13 Dec 1913 and is buried in the Gresham or Swannack Cemetery which is located about 11 miles SE of Sprague Washington on Hwy 23, or 2 miles SE of Lamont in Whitman Co. Since Lamont is such a small community but also close to Spraque in Lincoln Co, i'm hoping a obit, death notice, or funeral records may be in Spraque.

Nancy and John Williams were both musicians in the 1910 census so maybe they are listed in Polks or other directory.

Nancy had a daughter named Edith Rosetta Hans who was born in 1889 and may have attended high school in Spraque. Are there any HS yearbooks or annuals for the period 1902 to about 1910.

Thanks sincerely for any assistance or referrals

Paul and Maggie SOURS 1885-1889

LeRoyAtkins97 — 26 Jun 2008 8:31:28 GMT

Paul SOURS age 47, born in Penn and Maggie SOURS age 37, born in Maine, and Herbert SOURS age 4 born in Washington Territory. The above family is reported as such in the 1885 and 1889 Washington Territorial Census of Lincoln County.

I believe Paul is part of my family and believe that I may know something about him that is not immediately apparent.

If you are familiar with or recognize this family I would like to exchange research information with you.

Willard PFAFFLE & Keller Ferry Marina

totemtracers — 3 Aug 2007 12:05:00 GMT

I have part of a newspaper clipping (of course the last half) about Willard Pfaffle. The 'headline' is CLARK/ from A3...I don't know if 'clark' is the columnist or if the piece was titled CLARK. Anyway, it was written when the Pfaffle's still had the Marina at Keller Ferry. I think Willard had stopped running the ferry by then..probably in the 1980's
I'd like to find the entire article. There is no clue if it came from the Wilbur Register or from another paper..I am hoping someone may have clipped it for historical purposes.

And also, I'd like to find Willard Pfaffle's obituary. He died in June 2004 as far as I can find. He is buried at Sherman cemetery as is his wife Donna.

I googled a few things, but while there is a lot on Keller Ferry, I can't find anything on Willard Pfaffle

Herbert Paul Toliver, 1884, Sprague, WA

MaryAtkins99 — 6 Apr 2008 5:57:43 GMT

A death certificate for Herbert Paul TOLIVER records he was born 3 Sep1884 in Sprague, Washington. He died in Portland, Oregon 31 Dec 1968. Each census from 1930 to 1900 support the record, Herbert was born in Washington. His father was Paul TOLIVER and his mother was Margaret Elizabeth EDMONDS. His father died in at the Soldier’s Home in Roseburg, Oregon in 1908. His mother died in Portland, Oregon in 1917.

I found the family in the 1895 Minnesota state census in Lyon County and the 1900 federal population schedule in Wright County, Minnesota. Herbert had two older siblings. I do not know their names. Various records report Herbert P. TOLIVER’s father with the occupation of baker or restaurant keeper.

I am looking for any evidence of the family’s presence in or near Lincoln County.

The 1885 census seems like a logical record to see. However I think if they were in the census I need to read it page by page because the index at Ancestry.com does not show the TOLIVER family.

Please help me with your ideas for records I may access in Lincoln County.

Also can you tell me how to read the cleanest copy of the 1885 census?

Thank you,

Palmer, William and Hazel

Blizzard43 — 21 Mar 2008 12:44:12 GMT

I have a newspaper clipping of William's obituary stating that he died at his residence on Union Hall Road in the Canby district. The Canby Funeral Home handled the services and burial was in the Zion Memorial Park. I'm not finding that cemetery listing. I'm interested in finding family members and family information. My mother was a half sister to William or three quarters. Their mothers were sisters, the same father. He married Hazel Hatch before moving from Iowa; had a son, Ronald; a daughter, Dollie who married a Mr. Bales; and a grandson named Jerry Joe Bales. He worked at Doernbecher Manufacturing Company's Coalca Sawmill, and Orville Dann and L. W. Howland of Canby Lodge No. 156 I.O.O.F. Thanks now for any future help.

Creston Cemetery address or contact

Guambaby — 29 Apr 2007 1:49:53 GMT

Can someone please help me? I'm trying to find a way to contact Creston Cemetery. I've googled, searched the Yellow Pages, etc., with no address or phone number. Unless the Endowment Fund is part of the cemetery (I saw that in an obit).

I'm trying to find an exact date of death for Annie Elizabeth (nee DAY) VINSON listed in the Creston Cemetery at www.interment.com with a death year of 1929. I would like to find her obit, as I've not been able to locate her mother, Eliza Jane (nee BROCK) DAY MORTON. I was told Eliza Jane died in Waitsburg. I can't find her under the known surnames. She died after Aug 1950, as I find mention of her in a newspaper at that time. She is not mentioned in David Smith MORTON's obituary in Mar 1965/Apr 1965. Eliza Jane was born in 1867 in TN. I can't find her in the WA Death Index under a known surname. She may well be buried with her first husband, Edward DAY, but I can't locate him.

Thank you for any help you can provide.

At this point, the closest thing to an address I have is:
Creston Cemetery
Mountain View Road
Creston, WA 99117

Public Records and Genealogy

RBestrom7380 — 24 Apr 2007 5:02:19 GMT

A couple of weeks ago, I attended a local forum that was presented by the Washington Coalition for Open Government. WWW.washingtoncog.org . This organization may have similar organizations in your own state. The forum concerned access to government information and public records. Find out and become ACTIVE in their work.

This newspaper reporter attended the forum and wrote his article as to the lessons learned in the forum:
http://www.thenewstribune.com/310/story/39415.html If this link becomes broken in the future, I have saved this article.

READ this article.

As we have watched, many local county recorders across the country have taken records off the Internet. These records are a MUST for genealogy research. They have done this in regard to the "threat" of identity fraud/theft. The definition of Identity Fraud in a number of jurisdictions is taking anothers identity to commit fraud. Identity theft is taking the actual identity of another person for a multitude of false reasons.

Today, a very large number of persons (Mostly the elderly) are afraid, fearful, that their identity will be used by the criminal element for fraud. They are fearful of any of their information being posted on the Internet, as that would lead to identity theft of their names and accounts; and cause them great financial losses. But, they fall victim to someone on the Internet just asking for them to give their information, "Phishing".

Information on the Internet is the cause... This is just NOT, repeat, NOT true. The main problem is not in online records, it is the credit industry giving credit to anyone that has a name of a person. I could get enough information from your garbage or steal your mail to give me MORE personal information on you than is available in public records. If I can't go online to get information, then all I would have to do is just go to a local county recorder and get the same information. So, I steal your mail, get your bank account information...or even those, almost daily, credit card application mailings. I then just apply for credit in your name. Or, I just go to a phone book and get your name and address and print out checks in your name. I can also just print out a false drivers license in your name and address. Any store would honor that.

We don't need to hide records, we need to stop the use of immediate and unauthorized credit being given to criminals. EVERY credit card issuer needs to have restrictions in giving credit cards, just based on an application. Every retail establishment MUST require proven identity of a credit card or check. If you don't want to be asked for ID, then don't complain if your identity has been stolen.

Genealogists, you MUST become active in preventing local county recorders from keeping information off the Internet. I do research nationwide. Even if it was State wide, I can NOT visit every county to see what records they may have on a family. I have found dozens, if not hundreds of family members...supposedly lost over time. We MUST have access to PUBLIC records.

Contact your local county auditors, assessors, newspapers, state representatives. We MUST fight for availability of records ONLINE. Soon, these counties will be shutting off records for those even asking in person. The USA can NOT become an iron curtain for public records.

Tell your State or County government representatives that they can actually SAVE money by putting this information online. They would not have to have their own staff do the research and provide the information being asked by a local person, or by a letter or email request. The SAME information could be provided automatically. The Washington State Auditor, Brian Sonntag has even made the statement that hardening security is better than eliminating access to public records. “I would rather see us respond to a problem than try to prevent one that hasn’t happened yet,” he said.

We all MUST fight for open government records, at EVERY level. There is no "classified" information at the local or State level. I was a Special Agent with the Federal government, with 32 years of service. There ARE records that just anyone can not obtain. These include your IRS tax records. Your records will be safe...until someone at the IRS decides to sell that information. Or your bank personnel decides to sell your information. So, there MUST be a check and balance system to prevent someone just using your information...without someone actually contacting you, or questioning why the credit is being issued to another address.

FIGHT for access to local government records. FIGHT for Internet access of the same records. FIGHT for genealogy research. And fight for restrictions to use of private information without proof of identity.

POST this on your genealogy sites you visit.

Town of Krupp or Marlin

Bea — 31 Jul 2006 6:30:29 GMT

I have been given two pictures with captions from Krupp Wash. one is titles Emerson Bros Heading outfit, the other is Haskin's Threshing outfit. These had to be taken before 1910 when my grandparents lived in Creston. If there is a Historical Society there interested in these I would be glad to send copies.
Is the town Krupp now?

Wagner emigrated from Alsace-France in latest 1880's.

Claude BERNHARDT — 23 Jul 2003 2:09:25 GMT

Hello,

First of all, I'm Claude Bernhardt, living in Breuschwickersheim near Strasbourg - France(Alsace).
I'm trying to restore contact with part of my family living in america.

In my actual knowledge, my family story is like this :

There were in the 1880's, in Breuschwickersheim (France-Alsace), Michael Wagner and his wife Eva Schmittand they had five childrens :

- Eva Wagner born on Jan, 18th 1863.
- Catherina Wagner born on Feb, 13th 1865.
- Maria Wagner born on Apr, 9th 1871.
- Michael Wagner born on Mar, 1st 1876.
- Jacob Wagner born on Jul, 30th 1883.

Jacob is my grandmother's grandfather.
Maria died accidently on May, 18th 1894.

The 3 other childrens emigrated to america:

- Michael on Feb, 2nd 1899
- Catherina on Mar, 3rd 1887
- Eva on Dec, 6th 1888

From Michael, I have no more information. For the two women, I know that they married two brothers wich surname was like "Buck" or "Beck" or something like that and emigrated from Alsace to america before.
The other information I have is that their daughter ( born Buck or Beck ?) lived in Davenport, WA in the 1960's.
We had contact with these person trough an other person (Mrs FERD VON DOLLEN) that traduced letters written in german into english and wrote in german for ous until the 1960's.
But since we've had no contact. My grandmother has lost the letters, adresses, etc...
The only thing I have is fotos from these person in the 1960's and an old bible from those five children parents, they received as they got married (1863), and in wich
this information were written.
The other information I have is that Eva died in america on a 17th in 1921, maybe december, but it's difficult to read.

I would be very happy if you could help me.

Thanks,

Julius Joseph Morrison/Marsden

Becky Menzel — 6 Jan 2006 12:35:22 GMT

I am trying to find information on a man who died as Joseph Marsden on August 4, 1922 in Herrick, Idaho. He was born Julius Joseph Morrison on Novembr 16, 1878 somewhere in Washington State. According to the census of 1900 both of his parents were born in Switzerland. He married a Daisy Ann Stewart and was living in Creston, WA in the 1900 census. He was one of five men in the posse that killed Harry Tracy. They had a son, Bert Lloyd, in 1902 but otherwise their trail goes cold until 1920 when he is listed as living in Herrick, ID. He was murdered on August 4, 1922 in a dispute over money with a Joseph Farri, an Italian employee. Marsden's widow was a woman with equally confusing names. She was born Maud Myrtle Martin, was married to an E.M. Crawford, and changed her name at some point to Margretta. If anyone knows ANYTHING new could you please contact me?! Becky Menzel

Williams of Harrington and Mohler

patrainguy — 21 Sep 2005 4:37:56 GMT

I believe that I may be related to the Jessie E Williams and John Edgar Williams families of Harrington and Mohler. Jessie's and John's father was Charles B Williams. I believe Charles to be the brother of my 2nd great grandfather.

I am looking for family history for these Williams families. If anyone knows someone who has done a family history for them or knows of descendants of these families, I would greatly appreciate the information.

Oh...Time frame. The Williams families moved to the Harrington around 1900 or 1907. They basically spent the rest of their lives in the Harrington area. Jessie and Frances did not have children who survived to adulthood. John Edgar and Maude did have children, who had children who had children....

Thanks,

Lynches from Georgia>Arkansas>Washington

bslovins — 21 Aug 2005 9:58:44 GMT

William J. Lynch and his wife Mary Jane moved from Georgia to Benton County Arkansas and had five children with them; Elizabeth, Mary Ann, Sarah, Thomas Nathan, Jane, and Jemice. William J. Lynch was born in 1872 in AR.

Some time after 1880 William J. and Thomas N. made the trip from Arkansas to Washington. William J. married Ida?
in Washington and by 1920 he had at least seven children;
Burton, Harold, Earl, Thomas, Mildred and Katherine. They lived in South Sprague, Lincoln County, Washington.

William's brother Thomas was in Portland, Multomah County with his wife Fannie C. in 1930. Some of his children were Archie, Pearl, Abner, Maggie and Reuben. Maggie and Reuben were born in Washington. The others were born in Arkansas.

I am especially interested in finding Thomas and William's sister Mary Ann Brown who married Andrew J. Brown in 1870.

Alvin & Sarah Allen Jenkins

Glenda Ebert — 7 May 2005 6:11:43 GMT

I'm interested in any information on Alvin Jenkins (b. 1847 in MO) and Sarah E. (Allen) Jenkins (b. Nov 1850 in MO). They had 5 children (Martha, Pelina, James, William and Goldie; the first three children born in Missouri and the last two were born in Washington). They moved from Missouri sometime between the 1880 census and February 1882, first to Whitman County, Diamond Prec. and then to Lincoln County, Miles Prec for the 1910 census and E. Davenport for the 1920 census. Alvin died between the 1910 census and 1920 census. Sarah was listed on the 1920 as widowed, but I cannot find her in the 1930 census. I'm interested in finding death dates and burial places. Their daughter, Goldie, married a Joseph Nee around 1906 and had two children, John F. Nee and Helen A. Nee. These two children were listed on the 1920 census along with their grandmother, Sarah, but I cannot find any information on either of the kids' parents and I believe that Sarah's other two daughters, Martha and Pelina also died before the 1900 census. Thank you for your help.

The Illusive Family Tree Of W.T. and Daisy Moore Tacoma WA

JohnLMuller — 25 Jan 2005 5:33:27 GMT

I'm looking for information about my great-grandfather Thomas Rufus Moore, and I believe these are his parents. From what I've been able to dethermine from their October 5, 1923 marriage return Thomas was born in Arlington, Washington. I think this was around 1901. His parents I believe were W.T. Moore and Lulu Edge. W.T. was born in Kentucky and Lulu was born in either Texas or Virginia. Tom's parents, who were witness to the marriage were living at R-3 Box 67-A in Tacoma WA as of 10/5/23. Tom's marriage to Edna Martineau produced 7 children. Sadly though Thomas Moore died of TB sometime between 1930 to 1935 in National WA. I would really like to know exactly when we was born and when he died. Also if he had an siblings or other family around Tacoma WA. So if anyone has any information I would really appreciate it, thank-you.

In a 1923 letter from Gig Harbor, Pierce, WA it is mentioned that Jens is old and has a poor sight so his (younger) wife Hanne takes care of business. A Miles is mentioned next to the name Agnes. The letter must be written of a sister or brother of Jens/James.

I am guessing that they still are in Lincoln since they had their own farm there in 1900.

I would like to find the death date of Jens/James and his wife and from there an obit, but I need help for this. The end-goal is to locate the 2 brothers and 3 sisters who emigrated to the US. Only 1 brother and 1 sister stayed in Denmark.

I just found several missing Civil War Soldiers from Washington State at the following sites on the Internet:
WA ST Veterans Home at Retsil WA, near Port Orchard in Kitsap Co. had a home and Veteran's cemetery. To access the cemetery records, go to I Dream of Genealogy at:

The Soldier's Home & Colony was at Orting, WA. To access both the records of the Veterans Home in Retsil and the Soldier's Home & Colony records in Orting, go to the Washington Secretary of State- WA History site at:

(This is a fantastic site to access other databases as well.)
