Thomas Campbell from Ireland > Scotland > WI > WA > ID arr. 1852/3

joannabailey192 — 2009-06-19 19:51:24Z

I'm trying to find out more about this family's origins. I think the dau. Catherine and the son-in-law Thomas Campbell are my ancestors who immigrated to PoySippi, WI in 1852, along with Thomas' brothers Patrick, Luke & Edward. The Catherine & Thomas Campbell I am looking for spent some years in SPrague, WA and eventually settled in La Clede, ID and had 10 living children out of 12.

I have most of the online info about Thomas Campbell and family after they arrived in the US (census/obits/bios/death certs). It's info about them before emigration I'm looking for.

Do these people look familiar to anyone? Anyone else have Irish Campbells who came to the US from WI > WA > ID after marrying a Wilson in Peebles, Scotland?

Thank you,
Joanna

Re: Montana Shingle Company of Auburn Wash.- Mill in Lincoln?

Montana Shingle Company of Auburn Wash.- Mill in Lincoln?

1975kmb — 2009-06-05 18:48:06Z

A photo was recently sent to me - the photo is of a group of men, women, and children in front of what appears to be a sawmill. There are wooden boxes with the name "Montana Shingle Co" and "Auburn, Wash." painted on the sides with a logo of a bird between 2 stars. Several of the men are holding tools and there is a large round saw blade in the background behind the stacked boxes. Only two people can be identified by the owner of the photo: Emily Bowers Kelly (later married Curtis Marsh) and her first husband Thomas Nicholas Kelly. The Kelly family is known to have lived in Lincoln county and the photo was probably taken in the mid to late 1890's. Any information regarding the Montana Shingle Company or persons in the photo is greatly appreciated!

My Grandfather and Uncle (Paul and Dick Douglas) used to farm ground right about where you are talking about.They called it the Weeks place. It was kind of the headwaters of Sring Canyon. Do you have the section, township and range of the place you are talking about? The Herdrick family farms ground around there as well.

The Names Feil and Lang look to me like they are Germans from Russia. I have distant Feil cousins and I think some Lang ones as well.

From Postmarked Washington, Lincoln and Adams Counties, by Guy Reed Ramsey, June, 1977.

TIPSO. Established April 13, 1899, George W. Peterman; David H. Morton, September 27, 1907; George W. Peterman, May 6, 1908; Discontinued November 30, 1909 – mail to Almira.

Location: 12 ½ miles due north of Almira, 7 miles southeast of Grand Coulee (NE/SW/NW Section 23, T28N, R31E).

Tipso post office is supposed to have replaced the old Grand Coulee post office which was in operation from April 3, 1883 to September 19, 1895.

Tipso Post office was quartered in a general merchandise store. The area had been settled much earlier, about 1888. The store was reported as still operating in 1911.

cmhansen — 2009-01-09 01:05:52Z

There is no Hodshires listed in the Tombstones of Lincoln County book, but that does not mean they are not buried there. I have found several people whose obit says they were buried in Lincoln county, but either no tombstone or maybe they had a wooden one that has long ago rotted away. I will check the Spokane papers for an obit, but as Ron says not a lot of obits then. Charles Hodshire's death certificate has been filmed by the LDS and is on film# 2022413 and it might tell where he was buried also. Mary is not listed in the WA Death index nor in the Washington Marriages, so she may have died out of state

Need 1920s/1930s era death/cemetery look-up help

bbahler — 2009-01-08 15:08:30Z

I'm looking for the dates of death and places of burial for Rev. Charles A. Hodshire and his wife Mary (nee Winslow) Hodshire.

He was Methodist minister, born circa 1861 in Indiana, who was last known to be living at about age 65 in 1926 in Davenport.

She was born circa 1858 in Ohio, and was listed as living alone at about age 72 in Davenport in the 1930 census.

I'm assuming both died and were likely buried in Davenport (his daughter Alvah Maud Hodshire from a previous marriage married Robert A. Forkner, and died in 1957 in Salem OR).

Any help would be appreciated.

dementia paralytic, Also called Bayle's disease and General Paresis.
A brain disease occurring as a late consequence of syphilis, characterized by dementia, progressive muscular weakness, and paralysis.

Here is a study on this subject:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_paresis

Now, based on your last posting, you are looking for the first wife of Joseph Thomas, not William Creed?

As you have, the 1880 Census for Lewis, Holt County, Missouri
Joseph B Thomas, 32 (1847/1848), born in Tennessee to both parents born in TN.
Rebecca S, age 22, born in Missouri to father born in Ohio, mother in New York
Wiley Woods, age 17, brother-in-law, born in Tennessee to both parents born in TN
-- So, based on the hopeful accuracy of the enumerator, this Wiley Woods could not be the brother of Rebecca, as their parents were born different states.
-- But, this Wiley Woods "Could" be the brother-in-law of Joseph Thomas, not by the marriage of Joseph to a sister of Wiley; but, Wiley could have married Joseph's sister. Thus, he would still be a brother-in-law. But, now, this Wiley was only 17 at the time of the census. So, while this relationship is "possible", it is probably a bit more possible that Wiley was a brother to a former wife of Joseph, who you had identified as possibly being a "Jane Woods".

In the 1870 census, I looked for any "Wil*" Wood*, (where * is a wildcard for ANY letters following), born plus/minus 5 years of 1863. I looked at many, but did not find a person with this criteria that ALSO had a sister Jane old enough to have married after the 1870 census. I did find a William Woods that had a sister Jane, but she was only 1.

As far as Joseph's marriages, that search will need to be done in Tennessee and Missouri.

The Washington Death Certificate Index shows Charles Alva Hodshire died 23 October 1927 in Davenport, Lincoln County, at age 66 years, 2 months and 23 days (about 1861, August 1, or July 31). His wife was Mary Winslow Hodshire, Father James Hodshire, Mother Susan Brown.

And, as you found the 1930 Census shows Mary still living in Davenport.

While obits in that time frame were not as common as today, a minister of the community may have inspired one. In the 20's, most obit's were written by reporters on the famous, imfamous or victims of homicide or accidents. Most families did not want to spend the funds as anyone that knew them would know anyway...

BUT, I'd look for an obit. If one is found, it "might" show where he was buried:

Re: Lillia B Roberts from Long Lake, Lincoln, Wasington State

RBestrom7380 — 2008-10-15 04:27:34Z

The Washington Digital Archives: http://www.digitalarchives.wa.gov/default.aspx
Has an image for a marriage, dated 15 February 1939, between Wesley T. Ohms and Blanche L. Roberts, both of Grant County. Witnesses were Melvin Ohms and Fred Roberts.

In the 1930 Census Wesley T. Ohms (transcribed as middle inital "L") was living in Weippe, Clearwater County, Idaho. He was 15 (1914/1915), born in Washington. His brother Melvin R, was 13. They and three other sons and two daughters were children of D. Charles and Blanche E. Ohms.

The Social Security Death Index shows: Wesley Ohms, born 29 August 1914, died April 1981. His "Last Residence" was University Place, (suburb of Tacoma); his last benefit was Tacoma, Pierce County, WA. The "Last Residence" and "Last Benefit" does NOT mean he actually lived here.

I checked the Pierce County Recorded documents, nothing found for either Wes or Blanche, or any potential OHMS name.

The Tacoma Library has a database of obituaries published by the local Tacoma News Tribune (Herald, etc). It shows an obit published for Wesley Tim Ohms on 15 April 1981, page B-4. He died on 13 April 1981. Blanche is not listed. That doesn't mean she didn't die, etc., it just means she wasn't listed. Bottom line: I couldn't find her on any record system. Perhaps his obit might identify her location.

The 1920 Census for Klaxta, Stevens County
Fred A, 51 (1868/1869), born in Michigan to father born in New York, mother in Iowa
Mary M, 35 born in Minnesota to father born in Canada, mother in Ohio
Arthur F 6 (1913/1914)
Lillian B 5 (1914/1915)
Herbert A, age 2 and either 11/12 or 4/12.
--The census was enumerated on January 14th, so Herbert born about February 1917, or August 1917 (probably 11/12).
--The 1930 Census was enumerated in April, Herbert was 13, so it appears the February 1917 DOB would be more "possible".
-- TheSocial Security Death Index shows a Herbert Roberts, born 11 Feb 1917, death Jan 1983 in North Hollywood, CA. California Death Index shows his middle name was Walter, mothers maiden name of Myers... Not the correct person.
--Another born 11 July 1917, died May 1985 in Jerome, Jerome Co, Idaho.

The Fred Roberts found by Bless95008 in Utah, also born Michigan, also father born New York, mother in Ohio, too big of a coincidence to not consider. The fact he is a widower indicates, if the correct person, Mary died 1920 to 1930. BUT, in MANY cases in the early census years, a person would identify the spouse had died, even though there had been an abandonment. This is NOT proven in this case, just something to consider.

He was listed as "Creed" Thomas at his death on 10 Nov 1923 in Medical Lake, Washington. It is found at: http://www.digitalarchives.wa.gov/default.aspx If you require a copy of the certificate, please contact the Center for Health Statistics at the
Washington State Department of Health at (360) 236-4300 or
http://www.doh.wa.gov/EHSPHL/CHS/cert.htm. The full certificate "might" identify the cause of death.

Do you have specific information that he died at Eastern State Hospital? It IS in Medical Lake. The fact that he died at Medical Lake does not mean he was a patient there for mental health reasons. It was a major medical center even then.

(14) Upon the death of a person, his or her next of kin, personal representative, guardian, or conservator, if any, shall be notified.
Next of kin who are of legal age and competent shall be notified under this section in the following order: Spouse, parents, children, brothers and sisters, and other relatives according to the degree of relation. Access to all records and information compiled, obtained, or maintained in the course of providing services to a deceased patient shall be governed by RCW 70.02.140.

In 2004, House Bill 2387, allowed for the release of information concerning the location of persons buried in hospital cemeteries. If you have a family member that you think might be buried in the hospital’s cemeteries, contact the Medical Record Department at (509) 299-4335. The staff will determine if you are authorized to receive information regarding patients who have been buried in the hospital’s cemeteries and will assist you with your questions.
From the above RCW:
(16) To mark headstones or otherwise memorialize patients interred at state hospital cemeteries. The department of social and health services shall make available the name, date of birth, and date of death of patients buried in state hospital cemeteries fifty years after the death of a patient.

I found your family tree online, and also works by "unknown". Perhaps you have the following, if so, good; if not, hope it helps. I'm also posting so it is available to anyone else seeking on Rootsweb:

Georgie Jerred, born 1887, died 1982, buried in Keller, WA. She was daughter of John Robert Jerred, born 1 April 1958 in Howard Co, Iowa; and Bridgett McNamara, born 4 April 1854 in Minnesota. Her first marriage was to Creed Thomas. Her second was to a Jones. Another tree identified she had married Creed Thomas Clyde JONES...as being one person.

The Bureau of Land Management has land patent records (Homestead Act)
http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/
These records include land purchases made by William Creed Thomas (Enter as Washington State, first name William, last name Thomas). Two were in 1907, a third in 1926. The 1926 purchase was made by Georgia J. (Jerred?) Thomas, widow of William Creed Thomas.

The 1926 land was located in the Willamette Meridian, Range 34-E, Township 28-N and Section 27 (the north half of the SW Quarter; and, the SW Quarter of the NW Quarter)
The 1906 land was in Range 34-E, Township 28-N and Section 27 in the land identified as the same.
The Second 1906 land was in Section 28.

If you do not know where this land was located:
Go to: http://www.esg.montana.edu/gl/trs-data.html
Enter "Washington", the Township 28-N, Range 34-E and Section 27
-The next window has some information on the location, note the Pheasant Springs at a distance of 979 meters.
-Now Click on "Switch to TerraServer" in the middle of the page.

In the next window, click on "TopoMap", and also the largest blue box for size.
--In the next window, a topo map, you'll see "Pheasant Spring in blue near the center bottom. All of the red boxes are Sections. Now, click on the red box holding the word "Pheasant Springs". Now, click on it again. You will now see a red "27" in the middle of a red box. This is where the land was located.

Now, for Hellsgate Rapids. This had to be prior to the Grand Coulee Dam, probably located in the now flood area of the Lake Roosevelt, part of the Coulee Dam National Recreation Area (Now known as Lake Roosevelt NRA, part of the National Park Service). Are you familiar with any of the Park Rangers that worked in the Keller area in recent years...back to the late 1960's? I worked for the NPS and was good friends with Hilliary Brown that was in that area. Not that has bearing; but, in the event you knew him.

The NPS Rangers might have historical Topo maps that would identify the Hellsgate Rapids: http://www.nps.gov/laro/ It has been YEARS (1975) since I worked there as a Ranger; but the Park Historian or Naturalist might be able to help you.

Actually, the search was not answered. This is not GenForum. The answers given there did not satisfy the researcher. One can NOT ask for records from Eastern State Hospital and "just be a relative" and have records released to you. Records are SEALED and can not be just released. Other records of death were not found.

When you post, it is SOOOO very important to identify what you are seeking, and some specifics on the persons you seek. A listing of six families will turn most researchers off from helping. Everyone of them might be related, but far to many for someone to identify all of them. By identifying you want to identify possible parents of a child, when and where he was born, that is specific to one genealogy tasking, where someone might be able to help.

Lincoln County has a researcher with the Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness. This person might be able to help in the local area.

I've been assisting, as well as doing my own since back to the mid 70's.

RBestrom7380 — 2008-08-18 00:10:56Z

First, I believe the Lincoln County Historical Society operates the museum, I don't believe they do research. They probably don't have a picture of her.

The BEST way to find a picture of her would be to contact living family members. I've done research on the family...below. There are some contacts listed, with phone numbers to this family. I'd try Gregory, or his mother Donna/wife of Harold D. Lucht, who was the son of Otto. They should know who has the old pictures, or who is the family genealogist. AND...THESE ARE YOUR COUSINS.

If you don't have obituaries for the below family members, see their name and date of death and ...
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, 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 .

Hi
The names I have been researching in Wilbut area are Lee and Fisher, Bishop, Rama and a few more.
The Oviatt connection is very interesting. I am also doing my husbands family - the Oviatt family. Do you know where Minnie Oviatt was born and where her parents lived? Where her parents were born? The Oviatt family it seems were living all over the USA.
My husbands family moved from Detroit to Montana in about 1955.
There was another brother who moved from Detroit to Tacoma WA possibly in 1954 then moved to Spokane. The 3 other brothers stayed in the Detroit area. Last year I found my husbands great grand father lived in Western Washington. He had left his family in Vermont and just moved to Oregon. He had remarried in Oregon. After he left the family they moved from Vermont to New York then to Detroit. The Oviatt's came over from England (around 1660) and ended up in Connecticut. From there they went all over.
I would like to know as much as possible about Mimmie and her family if possible.
Thank you for the information on the Historical Society in Wilbur WA.

Hi, you might already have this background but since I found it while trying to answer your question, I thought I'd include it.

Blanche Roberts Born 5 Oct 1914, Location=Lincoln, Father's Name=Fred A. Roberts, Mother's Name=Mary Stimpson. Source: WA Births 1907-1919.

Arthur Roberts Born 16 March 1913, Location=Stevens Co., Father's Name=Fred Augustus Roberts, Mother's Name=Mary Moedelia Stizpson [spelling on document]. Source: WA Births Index 1907-1919.

In 1920 the family was living in Klaxta, Stevens Co., WA. Fred A., head household, b. MI, 51 yrs old, wood cutter; Mary M., wife, b. MN, 35; Arthur F., b. WA, 6; Lillia B., b. WA, 5; Herbert A., b. WA, 2 11/12ths and James Kenzie, boarder.

In 1930 Arthur and Herbert were living in the State Custodial School, Medical Lake, Spokane Co., WA. Arthur was b. WA, 17 and Herbert was WA, 13.

In 1930 a Blanche L. Roberts was living with the Rommel family in Burke, Douglas Co., WA. William C. Rommel, head household, b. MI, 45, marr @ 29, farmer; Martha S. Rommel, b. Canada-English, 35, marr @ 22 and Blanche L. Roberts, Ward, b. WA, 15.

I have checked Ancestry.com, Washington State Digital Records (not all records are entered yet) and WA Death Index in the Mormon Church records and can't find anything else about the Roberts family.

I'm guessing that either Fred and Mary divorced or one or the other died before 1930 and the children were split up.
The Northeast Washington Genealogical Society, http://www.newgs.org/ might do research regarding divorces and deaths.

It's possible that Blanche was married in Douglas County and the Wenatchee Area Genealogical Society, www.wags-web.org has the microfilm for Douglas & Chelan County marriage indexes and does research in this area. Successful Searching!

bit of information about the Wilbur Cemetery:
Wilbur Cemetery is located about l mile North of Wilbur. From Highway 2 turn North onto Brace Road going approximately 1 mile.
The Cemetery is easily seen by the large grouping of tall trees. There are several entrances. There were 10 acres in the original plot, dedicated July 27, 1891 which sets aside blocks 18 through 23 to the use of the indigent as a Potter's Field forever. There is a block/lot plot map of the entire cemetery on the side of the maintenance building along with a book of names for location. The older section is at the front with the newer at the back. The grounds are kept in excellent shape.
Cemetery Roster information with names and block/lot, including the Potter's Field information in Block 20, was provided to us by Daryll Bahr, David Bahr, Carol Bodeau and Judy Boekel with the gracious cooperation of the Wilbur Cemetery Association. Where "No information" is stated, we are assuming there is no headstone. The (Not in Records) shows that the cemetery does not have the name in their block/lot records but the stone was read in 1974. The (1974) indicates we read this headstone in 2000, with the (1974N) meaning we did not find the headstone in our current reading. There are a number of headstones that have the birthdate of the spouse, who is still living.
Most of the information in parenthesis was provided by the Association or Daryll Bahr. Some maiden names which were on the headstones are also in parenthesis.
Old records show some people were moved to the Wilbur Cemetery. There is no record of most of them at Wilbur, nor could we find any headstones. Those moved from the Vance Daniels Cemetery, were due to the back water flooding from the building of The Grand Coulee Dam.
Walked and read by Rella and Jim Gleaton in Aug & Sep 2000.

There could also be a name "problem", here are "Smart" names, could any be related?
http://www.interment.net/data/us/wa/lincoln/wilbur/wilbur_ps...

So...she "could" have been buried in/near Wilbur, but the records, as well as the cemetery tombstones/etc.

But, she could have been buried elsewhere. Family information should be posted with your inquiries. List her Date of Birth, Full date of death if you have it, her spouse, or other family members. Any facts that identify her to Wilbur. She could have lived in Wilbur, but if she had family in, say, Spokane, she might have been buried there. If she was newly married, and was from somewhere else, she might have been buried...somewhere else. Give the researcher enough information to look.

The Bureau of Land Management http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/ shows a William J. Smart with land patent purchase in lincoln County. Is this family?

The 1892 Washington State Census (Statehood in 1889) for Lincoln County:

E.V. 36, born in Missouri
Jas 17
Sarah 15
Annie 13
Lonora (as spelled on the census)

If this is the family of Ellen, her burial place has increased in potential to Creston. Here are the cemetery sites in Lincoln county:

I see you've posted on Rootsweb in 2001, 2003 and recently (took some breaks?). I can't tell if you're an experience genealogist or hit and miss. There are several methods of tracking your people if you're new/inexperienced. Obituaries in that period of time were very limited, most did not have one published. Even today Creston and Wilbur are VERY limited in population. Back then, word of mouth would be enough to identify of a local death, news spread more from the church or townfolk than a newspaper. Davenport is the county seat, even it has small population...(oh my years of experience in Davenport and Fort Spokane...)

Re: Northstar Grange

EXCELLENT QUESTION !

I remember being a National Park Service Ranger, stationed at Fort Spokane. My patrol route took me to the many campgrounds in that area, from Hunters to Hawk Creek to Porcupine Bay. I had an emotional connection to that area also...but that was also long ago. The Northstar Grange was always a spot on the trip; but to my memory, even then, it was not being used. (Circa 1971-1976).

I would suggest the local Davenport Historical Society:

Since you didn't post: Leo Stout, born 19 Sep 1913, died 6 Sep 2000, "last residence" in Odessa, Lincoln County, Washington. This was per the Social Security Death Index. The "last residence" on the SSDI is not always where they lived but where a final payment (death benefit) was sent.

EXTENSIVE research has been done on Hallie Ettenborough
http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.was...

I could not find a "Francis" in the census that wasn't a male. I find "Frances" Jacobus in Essex County, New Jersey in the 1900 census, born June 1841 to both parents born in England.

The 1880 census for Caldwell, Essex County, NJ
Henry V. A. age 42
Frances A. 37 (Circa 1842/43), born in NJ to both parents born in NJ.
Alonzo H 17
Raymond 15
Mary E 13

The Hallie W. Ettenborough in the 1930 census in Wilbur, WA, was born in 1848 (age 82), born in New Jersey to father born in Scotland, mother in England. I haven't seen any indications they are the same person.

Re: Matilda Haase Ramm b. abt. 1882 d. Jun 1904

RBestrom7380 — 2008-05-06 02:27:41Z

If she died in Spokane, that would make sense as that would be the closest city with strong medical facilities.

As far as an obituary, they were NOT common then. But since you have strong date of marriage and date of death, you could try:
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, 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.
-If interested you can look at the catalog of holdings at: http://www.secstate.wa.gov/library/microfilm.aspx
-- I do not believe there will be an obit in the Spokane newspaper as they lived in Odessa. There "might" be one in the Odessa Record, BUT, the catalog of microfilms show this newspaper began in 1901, but the microfilms available are only to 1912.

The 1900 Census for Grand Bluff, Lincoln County, WA
Gottlieb Ramm, born August 1871 in Germany, immigrated 1887, farmer
William, brother, born Feb 1875

The Washington State Digital Archives http://www.digitalarchives.wa.gov/default.aspx
has 3 marriage images for Gottlieb Ramm and Mary Hemmerling, of which a John/Johann Haase is a witness. The first is listed as 1901, the second two as 1904-which is the accurate date. The first
identifies that Gottlieb Ramm married Mary Hemmerling in Lincoln County on 10/22/1901. There is an image available at that site. Gottlieb was 33 (circa 1868). This was his third marriage. He lived in Odessa, born in Germany. His father was Gottlieb Ramm, his mother was Johann Stigber?. The bride was Mary Hemmerling, age 19, born in Russia. Her father was Gottlieb Hemmerling, her mother was Louisa Geske. This was her first marriage. The witnesses were John Haase and Louisa Hemmerling. The witnesses were from Odessa.
--The other two have similar information but identify the date as October 1904.

The 1910 Census for Odessa, Lincoln County, WA
Gottleib (transcribed as Gotleib) Ramm, age 38, born in Germany, immigrated in 1886, wheat farm (What else in that area???) married 5 years
Mary, age 24, born in Russia, mother of 3, 3 living
Martha, age 4
Albert, age 3
Elsie, age 2.

Also in Odessa in the 1910 Census
Anna E. Ramm, age 25, head of household, married, born in Russia, immigrated in 1900. Mother of 4, 4 living.
Robert E. M. age 7, born in Washington to father born in Germany, mother in Russia.
Lydia A. M. age 6
Anna, age 3
Ella, age 1. All children born in WA to father born Germany, mother in Russia.

Family tree information shows J. Gottlieb Ramm (JR) born 2 August 1871 in Ilsfeld, Heilbronn, Wuert, Germany, died 30 July 1948, in Odessa, Lincoln Co, Germany. He was married to Maria (Mary) Hemmerling) 1885-1958, children identified was Harold Rudolph Ramm, 1917 to 1990. Apparently this tree does not include the names identified in the 1910 census.
--Another tree shows Gottlieb and maria having 10 children: Martha, Albert, Elsie (as in the 1910 census), John, Emil, Elmer, Harold, Florence, LeRoy and LaVerne.
--I sent a message to these "UNKNOWN" persons posting family trees. WHY do people do that? If you take the time to post, why don't they have their contact info available??????

This is all the information that could be researched, without knowing the name of the child or the name of your grandfather, or what additional information you may have on your grandfathers family. If his mother died, who did HE live with, if not his father.

First, when you post an inquiry, it is VERY important to provide some dates with those that you search. The date of birth, date of death would be helpful to find this William Palmer.

But, I think the problem lies in that you posted to Lincoln County message board in Washington State.

I found a Canby Funeral Home in Canby, Clackamas County, Oregon. It lead to finding the cemetery:

The Wilbur Register microfilms available at the Washington Library System from April 20, 1889:

You MUST include this information in your posts, as well as other known information. It would certainly help from wasting research time for others, as well as give basic information on your search. Also, identify your dad's name. If HE can be found in the 1910/1920/1930 census, then perhaps this child could also. The more you can identify, the more chance you will find a result.

Hello, this is an old post, but if you're still looking...

Frances Golladay Logan Tubbs
b. 1855 in Illinois ( probably Clark or Coles COunty)
Family goes to Warren County Iowa for 1860 and 1870 census, then Phelps COunty Nebraska for 1880.

m. George Logan Unknown
children include:Ben, George, Rosey, Minnie, and May. Minnie is married at least twice - William Creasy 1899 - and Thomas Herman unknown
m. Milo Tubbs 1891 in Lincoln County Washington
They go to Galena, Jasper County Missouri for the 1900 Census. Then right back to Washington. They have sons Menzo and Lloyd.
Her brothers Homer and Isaac live with her after around 1900. She dies in 1931.

Her parents are Joseph Golladay and Ruth (not sure of maiden name) Whitney Golladay. I'm descended from Ruth's son Oliver Whitney. I'm trying to track down information on her and have been gathering a lot of info on her other children esp. Frances so if you need more info let me know.

here's her obit info:

“The funeral of Mrs M Tubbs, who died at her home in Chelan, was held here Sunday afternoon at 2 o’clock at the Methodist church. The Rev Kronamen, of Davenport officiated. Music was furnished by Mr and Mrs George Gehrke, Mr H Koch and Ella Wollenberg and Gladys Kienholz. Mrs Tubbs lived here for a number of years having moved to Chelan recently to be near her daughter ( edit Minnie) , Mrs Tom Herman. Besides Mrs Herman, she is survived by four sons, George Logan of Reardan, Ben Logan in Arizona, Floyd Tubbs in Arizona and Menzo Tubbs of Chelan.” (Citizen: 3-20-1931)

Hi, I didn't find anything in Ancestry under Haase or Ramm.

LIncoln County doesn't appear to have a Gen. Soc. However, sources for the county are listed at www.rootsweb.com/~walincoln/resources.html. They list the Odessa Public Library who might have early death records on file for Odessa. The State didn't require death records until 1907.

Matilda's obit might have been in The Odessa Record, 509-982-2532.

If Gottlieb or his family didn't raise the child, then I'd look into the Lincoln Court House Records. Their contact info is at www.rootsweb.com/~walincol/resources.html. Successful Hunting!

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.

Herbert Paul Toliver, 1884, Sprague, WA

MaryAtkins99 — 2008-04-06 05:57:43Z

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?

Matilda Ramm, wife of Gottleib Ramm, died yesterday at the Sacred Heart Hospital from peritonitis, aged 22 years. She leaves a baby seven weeks old. Mrs. Ramm lived on the Wild Rose Prairie, and the funeral will take place from the house tomorrow. She will be buried in the Wild Rose Prairie cemetery and Rev. Paul Groschupf will officiate.

Re: Mary Jane Wagner

jhassinger_1 — 2007-07-13 15:05:47Z

I just found this post and you may already have the information you need.

Mary Jane Wagner was a daughter of David (1821 – 1883) and Alvira (1822 – 1899) Wagner of Bellefonte, Centre County, PA. I’m sorry I don’t know Alvira’s maiden name. David was a Dry Goods Merchant in Bellefonte, PA. The name Wagner has been spelled Waggoner and Wagoner in some censuses.

David Wagner was a son of David (1795 – 1855) and Catherine Maulfair(1795 – 1876) Wagner, both of Lebanon County, PA.

Brothers David and John M. Wagner (sons of David and Catherine Maulfair Wagner) moved from Lebanon County, PA to Centre County, PA in the 1840’s. Both of the brothers were successful and fairly prominent in Centre County, PA in the 1800’s. David, a merchant and John, the owner of a mill. One of John’s granddaughters, Anna Keichline, was the first woman architect in Pennsylvania.

The family of David and Alvira Wagner:

1.Mary Jane Wagner (1846-1887) married James Sanks Brisbin (1837-1892) 6/15/1861 in Tyrone, PA

2.Rachel Wagner (1847 - ) married John Harris (1832-1890)

3.Eliza Wagner (1848 -) married 1st Fleming Holliday, 2nd Jackson Spangler

4.Winfield S. Wagner (1851-1884) married Maggie Crotty (1861-)

5.Emma Wagner (1852- ) married Jack McClellan (1851- )

6.William Thomas Wagner (1855-1864)

Three of Mary Jane Wagner Brisbin and James Sanks Brisbin’s children are buried in Union Cemetery, Bellefonte, Centre County PA:

Winfield S. Brisbin (1870-1949)
Alfred Terry Brisbin (1882-1907)
Katherine King Brisbin Power(s) (1884-1980)

Don't know if they married. Sarah died July 4, 1897 I believe in Lincoln Co. and Lou died November 15, 1929 in Davenport. Obits, pictures, any information at all would be appreciated. Their father was Josiah H. Ashley. Thanks

yes, rootsweb.com, choose Washington, choose Lincoln County. Every county has a statement that they're looking for things to add. I know Lincoln County does because I'm familiar with it. You might want to pass along to them the web sites Ron has attached. They can put links to those web sites.

His last escapade was a BIG DEAL in eastern WA. When he was supposedly fleeing over Badger Mountain (Douglas County) people locked their doors, kept their children inside and those who had to work out in their fields took their guns along. It was a couple of tense days for the locals until they heard he was dead.

Willard PFAFFLE & Keller Ferry Marina

totemtracers — 2007-08-03 00:05:00Z

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

Newspapers from Wilbur and Sherman Washington

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 — 2008-08-05 22:39:34Z

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!

Re: Hallie Ettenborough / Francis H (Hallie) Jacobus

sKeas — 2007-11-11 19:58:44Z

Another thought. As per Scotland. It was told for many years that the Ettenborough Family came from Scotland. Not true. They were from the Lecestershire/Northhamptonshire/Towcester. I believe there may have been a name change as I can't find anyone beyond mid 1700 to America. Before that no Ettenborough spelling shows up. I am the GrGr Grandaughter of Thomas & Mary Ettenborough Enland to New Jersey in about 1830. Francis (Hallie) was my Mothers Gr Aunt.

Re: Hallie Ettenborough / Francis H (Hallie) Jacobus

sKeas — 2007-11-11 19:51:46Z

After 1900 census she and her entire family disappears. But, I can't connect anyone to her. Other than Francis' middle name.
My thought was that at her age sometimes mistakes are made. I realize 7 year mistake is drastic. But, until I find her obituary or grave I can't be certain. When I was in Davenport,WA. 2 years ago I didn't get much help. Thank you for your kind assistance. I didn't realize she had more than one child.

Hallie Ettenborough / Francis H (Hallie) Jacobus

sKeas — 2007-11-11 00:32:44Z

Hallie Ettenborough ( maiden name) Francis H. Jacobus (Married Name) daughter of Thomas and Mary Ettenborough of New Jersey born 1841. Lived in Wilbur Washington in 1930 according to the 1930 Census. I would like her Obit and where is she buried?
In the census of 1870, 1880,and 1900 she is listed as Francis H. Jacobus wife of Henry V N Jacobus and had a son born 1862 name of Alonzo. None of them are in the 1910 census.
My Gr Grandparents settled in Wilbur. And I think Hallie joined them. Grandma died in 1924 and Grandpa not to long after. But Hallie is still alive in 1930.

Hi, I didn't find any info for either lady but that doesn't mean it isn't available; just that I didn't find it.

You can request obits from the Washington State Library, www.secstate.wa.gov/library/ask.aspx . They will check the newspaper microfilm for 60 minutes at no charge & reply with what they find.

Another good source for Lincoln County is www.wagenweb.org/lincoln/ .

There is also a Lincoln County Historical Society, www.museumsusa.org/museums/info/1157757. Successful Searching!

Re: Willard PFAFFLE & Keller Ferry Marina

You can reach the Wilbur Register at 509-647-5551. Don't know if they have an index on their newspaper.

You can also send an email to askalibrarian@secstate.wa.gov and they will do one hour of research for free. They have access to newspaper microfilm.

Williams, Nancy E. died 1913 Spraque/Lamont

2006-03-25 20:26:35Z

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

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

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.

Lynches from Georgia>Arkansas>Washington

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.

Charles,

You are a sweetheart!
Thank you so much for looking Ed up for me... and for explaining the WA death index data to me. I truly do appreciate you taking the time to do so.
(Ancestry's data doesn't seem to be functioning correctly for their WA Death Index, even for 1957...)

Thanks for being my genie angel!!

Re: Creston Cemetery address or contact

Guambaby — 2007-04-29 20:07:42Z

Charles,

Would you please tell me how you found Annie in the WA Death Index? Is it a subscription you have? Or a library/archives resource you have locally? The WA Death Index online at ancestry.com doesn't cover 1929. I'm still trying to locate Edward Day, Eliza's first husband. He apparently died between the 1910 and 1920 censuses.

Thanks again for providing Annie's death date for me!

Creston Cemetery address or contact

Guambaby — 2007-04-29 13:49:53Z

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

Re: Cornelius & Ellen McGreevy

Barbara_Ratcliff — 2005-07-14 01:22:10Z

Have you seen the book SPRAGUE LAMONT EDWALL WASHINGTON: STORIES OF OUR PEOPLE, LAND AND TIMES 1881-1981? It has a lengthy section on the Brislawns, with references to "Neil" and Ellen McGreevy.

You might check the following site:

http://www.ewu.edu/era/research.html

It says they have death records for Whitman County, WA on microfilm from 1881 to 1907, and perhaps they have other records which might help you in your quest for death and burial records for Cornelius and Ellen McGreevy. I see that in the 1900 census for Whitman County Ellen was a widow and her youngest son born in June 1889, so Cornelius presumably died between late 1888 and the date of the 1900 census.

Re: Cornelius & Ellen McGreevy

Barbara_Ratcliff — 2005-07-14 01:22:10Z

In the 1920 Census, it appears that Ellen McGreevy is living in Seattle, WA with son Thomas (Seattle, WA, ED: 323, Page 3B). Ancestry.com has Thomas indexed as "Thomas Mcgeary", but I believe it is "McGreevy". The ages fit, and Ellen is listed as born in Pennsylvania, and Thomas in Washington. Using any number of ways to search, I can't find Thomas in the 1930 census; nor Ellen, but given her age, she might well have died by 1930.

Public Records and Genealogy

RBestrom7380 — 2007-04-24 05:02:19Z

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.

Re: Williams, Nancy E. died 1913 Spraque/Lamont

RBestrom7380 — 2007-06-11 06:20:21Z

That area in Washington, even today, is sparsely populated. There might have been a local newspaper during that time period, but finding an obituary might be impossible. I give the ask a librarian a small percentage of finding anything for you, they are inundated with requests and don't spend much time in individual searches.

With that said, I found:

The Washington Birth Index shows an Edith R. Hans and Thomas J. Sweeney were the parents of Patricia Claudia Sweeney, born 1 Mar 1918 in Spokane.

I find Edith Rosetta Hans was born on 22 Dec 1889 in Crawford, Dawes County Nebraska. She was daughter of Nancy Elvira Daniels and Frederick Mahlon Hans.
On 31 Oct 1910, she married Thomas John Sweeney, Eureka, Lincoln County, Montana. In 1910 she lived in Union, Whitman Co, WA. On 10 April 1924 she and Sweeney Divorced in Spokane. On 1 Sep 1928, she married Henry Nikolaus Kruse in Seattle, his first marriage. She died on 18 January 1964 in Seattle, King County, WA. She is buried (22 Jan 1964) in the Evergreen-Washelli Cemetery on Aurora Ave N, Seattle http://evergreen-washelli.com/ .
Her daughter Patricia died on Nov 26, 1993 in Seattle, WA. Patricia was married on 1 Nov 1937 to Stanley Ralph Watson in Moscow, Latah County, Idaho. They had eloped and were married by a Methodist Minister. They had three children, "Living", Edith Henrietta Watson 1941-1997; Henry Courtney Watson 1943-1997.
Edith was born on 27 Oct 1941 in St Charles, Kane County, Illinois. She was married to Donald I Frizzelle in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on 20 Aug 1960. She divorced Frizzelle in 1967 in Los Angeles. She married Ronald Lee Cagle in June 1968 in LA. She married John Hayes in Yakima on 13 June 1980. She died in Yakima on 14 Aug 1997. She had two sons with Frizzelle and a daughter with Cagle.
I sent an email to the person having the above information requesting he make contact with you.

Poulson from California

Brittzmom — 2006-09-07 22:17:38Z

I am looking for information on a John Poulson, parents were Oliver Perry Poulson and Harriet A. Ritchie Poulson from Sonoma County California. I don't know when he was born, his parents married in 1847 and I believe he was the first born son. All I do know is in a book entitled, History of Sonomo County, it states he was currently living in Lincoln County, Washington Territory. I know that isn't much to go on...Thank you.

John D. Poulson

Brittzmom — 2006-09-07 22:17:38Z

Funeral Services for John Poulson, age 87, early pioneer of Davenport, were held Saturday at 2 p.m. at the J.C. Phillips Chapel, with many old time friends of the deceased attending. The Rev. R.S. McCullough had charge of the service. Mrs. Carl Horn and Mrs. L.A. Cathoart sang, accompanied by Miss Mabel Inkster.

Internment was in the Larene Cemetery, alongside his wife, who died in March 1882, and was the first person buried in the Larene Cemetery. Alf Hughes, who was a pall bearer at Mrs. Poulson's funeral more than 54 years previously. Other pall bearers Saturday were Charles E. Myers, R.M. Dye, John P. Bond, Cal Simmons and Jacob Hansen, all friends of many years standing.

Mr. Poulson was born at Calistoga, Calif. January 22, 1849. He came to Dayton in 1879 and to Colfax a short time later, finally moving to Davenport in the spring of 1880. He worked on farms in this region for many years. He had been in poor health during recent years and went to Wilbur earlier in the fall to receive care there. He passed away at Wilbur Tuesday of last week.

He is survived by a daughter, Mrs. Lilly Manhart of Hollywood, Calif. and a son, W.K. (Jarboe) Poulson of Upton, Wyoming, both of whom were here for the funeral, and by three sisters in California.

came across you posting at the Ba-Wue Board and tried to get some more information. Guess there is a connection to the Ramm-Sauter "Personal Member Tree"
You should look up http://castlegarden.org
Search for "Ramm" - year range "1887-1887" -place of origin "Germany " and you will find the following:

ship: Noordland
arrived: 5 Feb 1887
port: Antwerp
last residence: Baierbach
destination: Clear-lake

Gottl. Ramm Child, Youngster 3 male
Joha. Ramm Farmer 13 female
Joha. Ramm Farmer 45 female
Marie Ramm Farmer 11 female

Looks like your Johanna Stiegler Ramm and some of her children.

There are two Baierbach in Wuerttemberg (and two in Bavaria) The Wuerttemberg Baierbachs now belong
to Pfedelbach (ZIP 74629)
to Michelfeld (ZIP 74545)

Copies of the Church Records over you local family history center

Look for :
Evangelische Kirche Pfedelbach OA. Öhringen = Oberamt Oehringen (as far as I can see Baierbach belonged to the parish Pfedelbach)
Katholische Kirche Pfedelbach OA. Öhringen = Oberamt Oehringen
Evangelische Kirche Michelfeld OA. Hall = Oberamt (Schwäbisch) Hall (Baierbach definitly belonged to the parish Michelfeld)

The communities Michelfeld and Pfedelbach should be able to provide information as well:

Re: Creston Cemetery address or contact

cmhansen — 2007-04-30 02:59:30Z

The Washington Death index has been on microfilm for years, our Spokane library has a copy from July of 1907 to sometime in 1997. Ancestry bought it and converted the part from 1940 to 1997 and posted it online. Before 1940 the state used a very small font to do the death index and so I guess it was too much work to convert mechanically. I was lucky as I got the old microfilm when the library got a newer set of microfilms, but mine stops in 1989. There is an Ed Day in the WA death index and an E.R. Day

Day, Ed age 64 d. Benton Co 1-13-1919 cert# 6
Day, E.R. age 64 d. Spokane Co 4-16-1910 Cert# 109

Charles
P.S. The Washington State Library and Washington State Genealogical Society are digitizing the WA Death Index. Right now the 1907-1909 section is online and the last of the 1910-1919 is in the hands of volunteers and the volunteers are now starting on the 1920-1929 section.

I found a death for Henry Sterkel b 4 Nov 1881 d Sep 1962 WA -- but where did he die and where is he buried?

On Washington birth records it shows the name of his first wife as: Marie K. Berrech, Marie Perik, Marie Ferrick - she died between 1926-1927 in Odessa WA and would be buried under the name Marie K. STERKEL......does anyone have access to the records for Odessa and surrounding cemeteries? Can you check for burials for anyone with the name Sterkel?

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

JohnLMuller — 2005-01-25 05:33:27Z

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.

Hi Pat. I got your message. I have been working with Sharon Wolfe and she said someone named Lisa phoned you. It wasn't me and I have no idea who it was. I don't know of anyone working on the Brusha line by the name of Lisa besides myself--very strange. I did get the info. Thank you.

Re: Elmer Brusha

2004-07-14 03:05:32Z

Lisa, I tried to send this the other day, not sure if it went.
Elmer's burial permit gives the following information:
Name: Elmer Brusha
Date of death: Aug 27, 1929
age: 64
Sex: Male
Color: White
Cause of death: Apohlexy, no mediacal attendance
Place of death: 25 miles north of Nespelem
Place of burial: Almira Cemetery
Undertaker: C.M. Phillips of Wilbur
He was buried on the 29th.
end of burial permit
Almira was just about the only cemetery around in those days, it was not unusual for a death in Nespelem to come here.
Also, someone else (sisters) are looking for this same man. The woman helping them is reluctant, if not refusing to give their names.
Would you let me know if you receive this? And if you want a hard copy, send a snailmail address to me and I'll send it.

Thank you so much for the info. I have some other census info. but not this particular one. I noticed their second child was born in KS (Kansas?) I will check some records there. I did not know where Cornelius and Ellen where between Iowa and WA territory, so it looks like there was a stop/or at least a birth in KS.

Thanks again,

Re: Cornelius & Ellen McGreevy

Barbara,

Thanks for the info. I did find out from the WA death index that Ellen did die on April 27, 1927 in Whitman Co., WA.

I also have figured that Cornelius died in 1889 or by Jan. 1880 because the 1889 Lincoln co. census shows him as alive, but the 1900 census states she was a widow.

I have tried to find Cornelius in the Lincoln Co. WA and Whitman Co. death indexs fromt he county auditor's offices, but he is not there. Where and when he died is still a mystery.

I thank you, very much for your assistance.

2003-07-23 02:09:25Z

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,

WM F BROWN Family 1920-30

2003-06-08 06:36:39Z

Looking for any information on the family of William F BROWN, b. Feb 1856 in Arkansas, probably Crawford County. He was the son of Thomas E and Sophia (GREEN) BROWN. The GREEN’S and BROWN’S relocated to Marion Co Oregon about 1869. By 1920, 63-year old William F BROWN was living in Lincoln Co WA with his 62-year old wife Ellen and 39-year old son James, b. 1880.

Other children, all born in Oregon were Elbert (b 1878), Addie (b 1879), Thomas E (b 1879), Frank, (b 1885) Martin (b 1891), Esther (b 1893) and Andrew (b 1897).
Aside from Thomas E Brown, it is unclear whether these children left Oregon.

In 1920 Thomas E Brown, son of William F and Ellen BROWN was living in Lincoln County WA. Tom and wife Ella L were living with children Marvin A and Nellie May.

By 1930 son James B Brown was head of the household. Living with him were his parents, William F and Ellen Brown and his nephew Marvin A Brown and niece Nellie May (Brown) White, (widowed) both children of James’ brother Thomas E Brown.

Any help with this family would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Who was Downs Lake named for? Could it possibly been after John Martin Downs who lived in Spokane after I believe 1909? Does anyone have info on John Martin Downs and wife Celia (Grimes) Downs? They had children Cecil James Downs and Cecelia Downs. Thank You,

Re: Obit look up Mary C. Nixon Lincoln Co

2002-09-10 21:05:47Z

I don't have an obit but my great-grandmother's name was Mary Nixon nee Caplinger. I believe she married James W. Nixon in Linn County Oregon in 1870 but have yet to confirm that. I also believe that they had a homestead near Spokane filed around 1890.

She had a daughter named Katheryn and a son named Jesse. I don't know of any other children. She was also related to a family named Richardson. I don't know the parents' names, but her cousins were twins, Sylvan and Sylvia. She also had a cousin named Emma but I don't know if her maiden name was Richardson.

Are you related or a researcher?

Re: Frands Madsen obituary (Wilbur, WA)

2002-06-21 17:20:25Z

I stumbled upon the obituary for Frands Madsen today. I noticed that the name one of the guests at the funeral was not known for certain, and I may be able to help. The text of the article mentions "Max Morrison (? Mads Mauritzen?)". Mads Mauritsen was my father, and I believe he was a cousin to both Mrs. Giles and Mrs. Huck (known to us as Millie and Minie). I believe that my father's mother was sister to the man known to us as "uncle in Wilbur". In any case, I just wanted to correct the spelling of my father's last name. I seems likely that it was my father who attended the funeral, because he had plenty of gas available during the war and was always in close contact with the folks in Wilbur. I visited Wilbur a number of times when I was young.

obit lookup Susie Wickert

2001-12-07 00:31:03Z

Is there somebody in the Spokane area who could do a lookup at the newspaper for me? I have a death certificate for my great-aunt but I have no other information on her or her husband. If ther was an obit, then it might have some information I can use about our family. Her name was Susie (M) Wickert and she died in Reardon Feb. 25, 1962. It seems she was living in the Pleasant Center Nursing Home at 2659 N Ash St. She had a hsband named Fred Wickert who was alive in 1953, but I don't know if his name was Frederick or what. Please, any help anybody can do will be greatly appreciated. Thank in advance Orville Wright

Obit request for Charles Morgan, dead in 1923

2001-08-14 07:50:17Z

Charles Morgan died the 24th September 1923 and was buried the 29th. I know this from a letter written in Gig Harbor, Pierce, WA.

From the 1900 census, Davenport precinct, Lincoln, WA, I know he was born Dec. 1861 in Denmark. He immigrated to the US in 1881. He was a farmer with his own farm. He married around 1887 Martha Dorthea Hansen (born 1862, Bodilsker, Bornholm, Denmark). They had no children.

At the same page is Rasmus Morgan from Denmark too with wife Mary, sons: Alfred J., Carl W., Einer V., Raymond C. and daughter Clara L. perhaps family to Charles?

At the time of his death Charles Morgan didn't live in Lincoln. From the letter I know the farm was rented out to his brother's sons. I hope there was put in an obituary in the Davenport area too, so I can learn where he was buried and where I can find his wife.

My great aunt has an old American photo where her mother has written of "aunt Martha and uncle Carl".

Any help given is highly appreciated.

Hansen, Jens "James" Desiderius (Bornholm, Denmark)

2001-08-14 07:18:34Z

Jens / James Desiderius Hansen (born 1853, Poulsker, Bornholm, Denmark) emigrated with his twin brother to Oshkosh; Wisconsin in 1873. He was a farmer.

In the 1880 census Jens/James and the brother Marcus Andreas were in Deep Creek Falls, Spokane, WA.

In the 1900 census James was married to Hanne (about 1898) and had a daughter Agnes H. Hansen b.1899 in WA. They live in Davenport precinct, Lincoln, WA. They have their own farm.

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.

Hansen, Marcus A. (Bornholm, Denmark)

2001-07-29 10:33:44Z

An letter from Gig Harbor,1923 written in Danish to "Dear Brother and sister in law......with love from us" is my mystery. It regards the death of "a family member, Charles Morgan".

It might be from some of my gg-grandfather Hans Mathias Hansen's sisters or brothers who emigrated to the US. He had 4 sisters and 2 brothers (twins). I think 4 emigrated giving me many options to search. My ancestor stayed in Denmark.

The twin brothers were Jens Didrich Hansen and Marcus Anders Hansen, born in 1853, Poulsker parish, Bornholm, Denmark.

In the 1900 census of Washington, Lincoln County, Davenport Precinct a Marcus A. HANSEN born May 1853 in Denmark appears. He is farmer and came to the US in 1873 ( the same year his twin emigrated ).

The household includes wife Lena Hansen born Sept. 1869 in Denmark, daughter Ida Hansen born Dec. 1881 in Washington and brother in law Martin Hansen born Sept. 1862 in Denmark.

My gg-grandfather had a photo of a baby taken in Davenport, Wn.

I think it could be a match. I hope someone would like help me to learn if Marcus A. Hansen and family are buried in a Davenport cemetery and with a death date whether an obituary or two could be found.

Regards from Copenhagen, Denmark

Warehime

2001-04-15 12:00:00Z

Tricia, we have several brief mentions of the Warehime name in the History of Almira (Lincoln Co). the first is that North Star School was in a building owned by Frank Warehime (in 1898).
Next is Warehime burials at LaFollette Cemetery north of Almira (Jacob and Henrietta).
After that, mention that the Warehime kids went to school in Govan, and finally,
Mildred is pictured in a 1922 picture in the book.
Hope a little of this helps,

The Mountain View Cemetery at Davenport lists:
Wickert, Frederick A. 1878-1949 'husband
Wickert, Susue M. 1879-19__ 'wife
Note this cemetery list was done in 1974, so if Susie died in 1962 seems like they would have filled in the blanks by then.

Wickert, Fred died 1-18-1949 in Spokane city age 70 cert# 1569

I also checked the WA Death Index and for 1940-1945 and one Olive Smith died in Spokane in 1944 and one in Kitsap county 1945, none in Lincoln County.

Jerry The 1889 Lincoln County Census has:
Kuppers, H.H. age 53 a farmer from Germany
Kuppers, Kate age 51
Kuppers, Henry age 23
Kuppers, Gus age 16

I did not find any Henry or Gus or John Kuppers in the 1900 soundex, but for 1920 found Henry H. Kuppers age 56 from Germany with his wife Augusta age 38 from Poland ED 74 sheet 5 line 17 and his 4 kids, Mayme, Edmund, Helen and Henry K.
Kuppers, Johannes age 42 born Germany, Wife Katherine age 36 from Minnesota and his 7 children. ED 53 Sheet 3 line 38.

So it looks like those buried in Harrington is Johannes and his wife Katherine, and Son Walter. The Catherine is the wife of H.H. and mother of Henry H. and maybe Johannes.

Ann The Spokane library has microfilm copies of the 1885, 1887 and 1889 Lincoln County Census. So far only the 1889 has been indexed. I am working on 1887 now and have not run into any Corts yet. The State of Washington Library in Olympia also has copies and they are working on a project to put both the original census and the index on line for all the state census, which will include Lincoln County. The Regional Archives in Cheney also has copies of the census. The 1885 copy we have in the Spokane library is very hard to read I think they used disappearing ink. I do not know if the Big Bend History Society/Museum in Wilbur or the Lincoln County Historical Society in Davenport has copies of the census or school records.

I think this is the same Jacob -given the sister Sarah in the same family. I will send you a GEDCOM of the family I have. I still can't link George to any parents in PA but I feel sure he links up to my Warehime family in PA and MD. My oldest ancestor, Henrich Werheim, immigrated about 1754 as part of a family of 6 children so I am sure there are other Warehime families in PA at the time.

BANKSON/BANKSTONs in LINCOLN Co. WA

EileenBurton96 — 2002-12-07 18:20:38Z

I'm interested in anything anyone may have on Bankson/Bankstons in Lincoln Co. I descend from Stephen D. & Jerusha Gibson Bankson's daughter Orinda Ann, who married Daniel Lewis Woods in Greene County IL Dec. 9, 1885. By May 17, 1888 they were in Wilbur, Lincoln Co. WA for the birth of their daughter Alice Viola Woods. Stephen and Jerusha were buried in the Sherman/Cresson Cemetery in Lincoln Co. in 1896. So they may have made the journey west at the same time as the Woods. Also in Lincoln Co. were Arthur C. Bankson, relationship to the others unknown, and Perry Bankson, who may be the Perry listed on various census as a child of Stephen & Jerusha. Perry was single with no children according to his will filed in 1939 in Wilbur and was leaving everything to Ellsworth E. Jones., relationship if any unknown.

Looking for info on a Col. Wiliam W. Brown. The info I have is that he was born in May 1824 and died in 1881. Also, he was married to Bathsheba Brisbin.

Any info on him or his family would be helpful.

Kupers and Black Families of Sprauge/Spokane Washington

waterbug_1 — 2003-05-25 03:38:49Z

I am looking for information concerning the family of my mother-in-law Beverly Jeanne (BLACK) (KUPERS) VENABLES, born 24 Jul 1927 in Spokane, Washington. Her mother was Ruth L. BLACK of Sprauge, Washington. On 25 Jan 1930 Jeanne was adopted by Edward M. and Margaret S. KUPERS in Sprauge, Washington. Edward was living in Sprauge at that time. However, he was in the construction industry so the KUPERS moved around eastern and western Washington (including Spokane) following work prior to settling in Seattle Washington.

I would like to find information on both the Ruth L. BLACK and Edward M. & Margaret KUPERS families. Any assistance you may be able to provide would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Hi Charles,

I just got back from a long weekend in Montana and I have been thinking about your note on the long drive back. Is there someone/some Source up in your neck of the woods that I can check to see if "John Kupers" is an Americanized version of "Johannes Kupers" The reason I ask is that the BLM land records (http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/ ) lists Three Land Patents in Lincoln Co. WA; I was wondering if "Henry" and "John" may be Americanized versions of "Hans" and "Johannes" or that they may be offspring of Hans and Johannes:

Charles

Thanks, those are the Kupers I've been looking for! I have also found some information on the Kupers homesteading in Minnesota. With a bit more searching it looks like I will be able to start constructing a pretty solid family tree.

Would it be possible for me to to impose upon you by sending up a SASE and some money and get you to make a photo copy of the appropriate census pages? If so, please let me know how much/whatever you need to do so, OK?

Thanks again for your assistance!

Cheers

Jerry
