The Washington Death Certificate Index via:
http://search.labs.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#...
shows Louis Christoph(truncated) Helberg died 22 August 1955 in Tonasket, Okanogan County, WA.

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.

Hi Ric,
A Myrtle W. Jensen Estimated Birth abt. 1923, Residence=Grant Co., died 24 July 1994, Grant Co per death cert #025078. Source: Washington Death Index 1940-96, www.ancestry.com.

A Myrtle J. Jensen b. 21 April 1923, Last Residence=Grand Coulee, Grant Co., WA 99133 died 24 July 1994. Her soc. sec. # was assigned in CA before 1951. Source: Social Security Death Index, www.ancestry.com.

Since she was born in 1923, she would have appeared in the 1930 census but I didn't find her under Myrtle Wyatt. The 1930 is the most recent one available until 2012 when the 1940 Census will be released.

To find more information about her, I'd pursue her obituary. The Washington State Library will provide a copy of any obituary published in WA state. Go to www.secstate.wa.gov/library/ask.aspx . They will search the newspaper microfilm for 60 minutes at no charge & email what they do or don't find to you. Successful Searching!

Re: Dorine AUSTIN GRONLUND mentioned in Obit of Maudie Austin

CEB49 — 2009-04-25 15:24:50Z

Hello,
I saw your post on Maudie Austin and her obituary mentions her daughter Dorine AUSTIN GRONLUND. I believe that Dorine was married to Sven Gustaf GRONLUND who is a part of my family tree. Would you have any information on Dorine and her husband? Or perhaps you would know someone from their family that is interested in trading information about the GRONLUND family.

I think I have found Dorine and Sven Gustaf GRONLUND in the Social Security Death Index. What I would really like to find out is what happened to Sven Gustaf GRONLUND's father, Carl J. GRONLUND. He was married to my great-grandmother, a second marriage for both of them. I lose him in the 1930 census in Lapeer county, Michigan.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

The Washington Death Certificate Index shows
--George H. Fortine died 17 May 1917 in Oroville, Okanogan County, at the age of 51 years, 11 months and 4 days. The death certificate for parents was identified as reading "Do Not Know". So, whoever provided the information for him (respondent) either was not a member of the family or had little information on him.
--Alice Fortie, died 20 May 1938 at Medical Lake, Spokane Co, WA, at age 30 years 4 months and 36 days (36 days? that is unusual as it is over a month period). Her parents were George Fortie and Flora Vezzoni. (This is based on the names you provided. You may have more information to confirm this George is the same as Fortine. But, this death certificate shows this Flora was a Vezzoni.

Barbara,
Thank you so much. How in the world did you ever find this? I thought I had looked everywhere, but I had mostly looked in Washington and California where I thought I had found him in the 1920 census. I'm assuming that this is the Reno that is in Nevada. I really do appreciate your help.

Re: Bror Wilhelm GRONLUND, Okanogan County, Washington circa 1910-1918

CEB49 — 2009-03-26 03:18:44Z

Thanks for reading my post. I had seen the California census and wondered if that could be Bror Wilhelm GRONLUND but couldn't be sure without more information.

The Carl J. GRONLUND in the Michigan census is Bror's father. His brother, Carl A. GRONLUND was living in Winnebago County, Illinois in the 1930 census, but he was listed a Charles.

Ernst GRONLUND was an adopted son I believe. A Ernst A. LIDSTROM was with the family when they came to America in 1910 on the S.S. Mauretania. Anna Erika LUNDBERG GRONLUND's obit mentions that she raised an adopted son but it didn't give his name.

Thanks for the help, I really do appreciate it and I'll keep checking for more proof.

Bror Wilhelm GRONLUND, Okanogan County, Washington circa 1910-1918

CEB49 — 2009-03-25 17:48:48Z

I'm looking for information on Bror Wilhelm GRONLUND. He was born in Sweden September 29, 1901. He came to America in November 1910 with his father (Karl Johan GRONLUND, born 1864, Sweden) and mother (Anna Erika LUNDBER GRONLUND, born 1864, Sweden.) They settled in or near Oroville, Okanogan County, Washington. His mother, Anna Erika, died July 11, 1918 and is buried in the Riverview Cemetery, Oroville, Okanogan County, Washington. Bror Wilhelm is mentioned in his father's (Karl Johan GRONLUND) naturalization papers so I know he was alive in 1917 and 1918. I don't find him living in his father's household in the 1920 census however. I don't know if Bror Wilhelm GRONLUND moved away or perhaps died before the 1920 census. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Re: Molson, Washington

RBestrom7380 — 2009-03-12 07:06:57Z

He was a Manager. It is probably impossible to determine what he could have been managing, a farm background does not necessarily mean that he used it while "managing". A manager could manage a grainery, or live stock, a butcher shop, feed store, lumber mill, farm implement store. Only a guess would be possible, but in genealogy, you NEVER guess, you must PROVE.

Without his name, it is also impossible to determine what he might have been managing, as possibly found in the 1910 US Census. Also, what was his age, (Date of birth would be EXCELLENT information). If he was elderly in/after 1913, did he die there? A local city directory would possibly identify his job; but, I doubt a city directory was published for Molson.

Provide more information on THE MAN, not on a potential job, and someone might be able to find an answer.

Re: WILLIAMS FAMILY

RBestrom7380 — 2009-02-23 07:33:36Z

Your posting didn't have much information as to his family, or what you already had researched. So, I had to do some basic research to get a background on him and his family
This research finds him with family in 1900. Living with his wife's family in 1910. He registered for the World War I draft but probably was never drafted.

The 1900 Census for Johannsdale, Logan County, ND.
Claud (as spelled), born August 1882 in North Dakota to both parents born in Illinois.
--His year of birth is one year different than your record, but this happens in census enumerations.
He was living as Brother in law to the head of household Edwin Holmes and his wife (sister of Claud) Mary, born Sept 1872. Also in the home is the mother:
--Anna E. Williams, born Feb 1846, in Illinois
--Hasel (as written/spelled, probably Hazel) D. born Jan 1884 in ND
--Tinnie Ray, sister in law born Nov 1878, born in Minnesota.

The 1910 Census fo Wapato, Yakima County, WA
"Hod" Williams (misunderstanding or poor hearing by the enumerator ?) age 28, born in North Dakota, but shown as hving both parents born in North Dakota. This "possible" be explained by the person providing the information to the enumerator didn't know (Jessie?). They had been married for one year. Farm Hand.
Jessie, 20, born in Ohio to father born in Pennsylvania, mother in Illinois.
--They are the second family in a dwelling. The first family is George Mokie(?), 48, born in Pennsylvania, occupation "Hotel? xx?"
Fannie, age 54, born in Illinois
Ernest, age 19, born in Ohio
Rom? age 14, born in Illinois.
--Based on the circumstances of ages, places of birth, it appears Jessie is a daughter of George and Fannie. I won't further research this as your interest appeared to be of Claude. Your posting indicated her parents were Maulsee. So, you apparently have information on this family.

The World War I Draft Registration Card Image database:
Claud Williams, born August 27th 18(cut off), farmer. Living at RFD (Rural Farm District) 1, Tiler?, Twin Falls. Nearest Relative was Jessie Williams. He was medium in height, slender in build, blue eyes, lt brown hair. He registered as required on September 12, 1918.

Based on his registration for the draft on Sept 12th, 1918, it is unlikely that he served in the military. The War ended in November 1918.
--Here is an explanation of the draft:
There were three draft registrations dates:
-5 June 1917 for all men between the ages of twenty-one and thirty-one.
-5 June 1918, men who had reached age twenty-one since the first
registration (Also included in this registration was a supplemental
registration of 24 August 1918 for those men reaching age twenty-one after 5
June 1918.)
-12 September 1918, men ages eighteen through forty-five were required to
register. This means that we have genealogical data on virtually every man
(around 98%) born between 13 September 1872 and 12 September 1900, if he was
living in the United States during World War I.

The 1920 Census for Clover, Twin Falls County, ID
Claude 38, born in ND to father born in the US, mother in Ohio, (So still not sure where his parents were born).
Jessie 30, born in Ohio, to father born in father born Pennsylvania, mother in Illinois.
Ralph, 10, WA (circa after the 1910 census on 14 May 1910 and before this census enumerated in January 1920)
Howard 8, ID
Alice 7, ID
Charles 6, ID
Earsel (is that a name ?) 3 5/12, census enumerated in January, so he was born about late July/early August 1916.

The Idaho Marriage Index shows Claude Williams married Martha Meunier on 14 January 1929 in Twin Falls. BUT, this is NOT the correct Claude. I'm providing this to eliminate in the future. This Claude was 23, Martha 19.

The 1930 Census for Tonasket, Okanogan Co, WA
Claud Williams, 48, born in ND, to both parents born Illinois
Jessie 40
Howard D 18, circa 1911/1912
Charles T 16, circa 1913/1914
Ersen C, 12, circa 1917/1918
I (or J) Leroy 8, circa 1901/1902
Edna 3 9/12 (Census enumerated April 11, so Edna born about July 1926.
Bettie M, 0/12, born late March, early April.
Cassjus? brother age 58, born Minnesota to both born ND, mother Ohio. Must be a brother to Jessie and not Claud.

Military:
-----Howard D 18, circa 1911/1912----
Howard, shown as born in Iowa?, but living in Okanogan, born 1911, enlisted for the Panama Canal Department. He had 1 year of college, was an unskilled lumberman/raftsman and woodchopper. He was single without dependents, 6 foot in height and 155 pounds.
---Although the year of birth and place of residence match, there is not enough proof this is the correct Howard D. Williams. There are 5 Howard Williams in Iowa in the 1915 Iowa Census and 3 in the 1925. I do not believe the enlistment is the correct person.

Charles T 16, circa 1913/1914
Ersen C, 12, circa 1917/1918
I (or J) Leroy 8, circa 1901/1902

I found a family tree of dlcolbert1 that has
Howard David Williams, born 29 Aril 1911 in Idaho, married Elizaabeth Taft Fowler on 12 December 1950 and had a son David. Elizabeth was born on 14 Oct 1908, died 1 May 1971.
---This person posted two pictures of Earsel Williams in uniform, appears to be Navy. Has posted two pictures of Howard
--If you have Ancestry.com, here is the link to the tree:

ssmithjo — 2009-04-01 20:36:14Z

I am seeking information on George Hector Fortine (or Fortie)who migrated to Molson from Kelowna, B.C. between 1908-11. Mr. Fortine raced Canadian Pacers from Quebec to Kelowna and settled in Molson, establishing a sawmill in either Chesaw or Mt. Hull. He married Flora Welling 1-19-1907 and later moved to Oroville around 1911 where he raised and trained horses for logging.

Can anyone tell me about his connection to the sawmill or his life in the area?

Re: Bror Wilhelm GRONLUND, Okanogan County, Washington circa 1910-1918

I believe he might be the William GRONLUND, age 19, born Sweden, emigrated 1910, in the 1920 CA Nevada County, Meadow Lake census. He is a lodger working as a railroad laborer.

I don't find a good match after 1920. Is his father Carl J. in Michigan in 1930? Are the Carl A. and Ernst GRONLUND in WA brothers of your Bror Wilhelm? Ernst is still in Okanogan County in 1930, but I don't find Carl.

You might want to search through the Washington State Digital Archives for more family information:

Re: WILLIAMS FAMILY

CRAZEYPJ — 2009-03-03 08:04:43Z

My Dad's Mom was Lula Jane Colbert-Olsen-Thorp. I believe her fathers name was Jack, & she had a brother named Jack. I have quite a bit of geneology on that part of the family, but it is inaccessable due to construction going on in my home right now. If you would like more on them, I will dig it out. My Dad, Leroy Vernon Thorp served in France & Germany. He was shot, (injured) in France. My parents were so organized, if the medal had been Dad's it would have been in with his war stuff.
My Mom's sister, Barie married my Dad's cousin Roy Colbert.
I am not so computer savy either. I don't know yet, how to use these geneology programs.

Re: Molson, Washington

alisoninvancouver — 2009-03-12 15:10:18Z

Thanks for your reply.

His name was John Fyffe Leighton. He was born in Dec. 1879 in Scotland. He came to Canada in 1905. He married Anne Stewart in Montreal (she'd just arrived on the boat) in 1910. In the 1911 Canadian census, he is shown as a farmer in Sidley, B.C., i.e just across the border from Molson.

One a return journey from Scotland, with wife and son, he gives his destination as Molson, while the others are list Sidley.

I hadn't thought of it, but it would be quite possible for him to be on a US census of that period.

Thanks again

Re: Molson, Washington

alisoninvancouver — 2009-03-12 20:23:57Z

Thank you very much, Ida. That's him. He would have been single as he didn't marry until Oct. So obviously farming didn't suit him. And he went up in the world from his origins.

Molson, Washington

alisoninvancouver — 2009-03-11 20:50:15Z

I am tracing the activities of a distant relative who left Scotland and settled in Sidley BC as a farmer. When he and his family arrived back from a trip to Scotland in 1913, it showed the wife and son as living in Sidley, but he was living in Molson, Washington. His occupation was "manager".

Can anyone give me any ideas of what someone with a farming background might have been managing in Molson at that time?

It has a few pictures of your parents. Plus it has some on both the Colberts and the Williams. She has some specifics, names and dates. Not alot though. Let me know if I can help with your search. Anything specific? I heard the name Eden when I was quite young, I always thought it was a pretty name. My grandmother had pictures of her and her siblings around. I'll have to do a little exploring on my tree and see your connection. Leah Colbert

Claud Williams was born to Eusebius Jasper Williams and Etheldra Ann "Annie" Pettijohn. "Sebe" and Annie had 8 children Ada, Tully, Cash, Mary "May", Byron, Claud, Tiny and Hazel. Later Sebe married again and had Henry James and Mabel Helen (who went by Bonnie)
Claud marries Jessie Molsee have Ralph b. 1909, Howard b. 1911, Alice b. 1912, Charles b. 1913, Dorothy, Earsel b. 1916, and Roy b. 1921. Dorothy d. as an infant. Edna b. 1926 and Barie . Jessie had contracted polio as was sick. Some of the children were raised by other family members. Howard Williams was in the army in WWII. he served as a medic in New Guinea in 1942-44. He contracted malaria which affected him the rest of his life. He became a teacher and taught at Wapato, Washington. Tully's book is called Fortunes and Misfortunes of Tully Williams. He mostly talks about his youth, breaking and racing horses. And his wives and children. Unfortunatly he doesn't use a lot of dates and specifics. Although he claimed to have owned a bicycle made by Orville and Wilbur Wright. Barie's book is quite brief. She talks about her childhood, growing up with her aunt Ada in Oregon. And her husbands family, which is also my husband's family, the Colberts. I'll post more when I have a chance. L. colbert

You can see my family tree on ancestry.com under davis colbert tree. the other 2 replies seem to have plenty of info. I sure I have a few more things to add. In 1930 Howard is living with my great grandparents, Leon and Lela Holmes.Ihave a few pictures I'll try to get more posted in the next week or so on my tree. I am currently reading a book written by Tully williams, Claud and May's brother. May is my gggrandmother. I've gotten info from my grandmother, from a book by Barie and Tully's book. Plus the census and other reports off of ancestry.com. If you have any specific q's post a reply. As to the other reply's: Yes his name is Earsel. He died in a logging truck accident. and Hasel is Hazel and Tinnie is Tiny. I have Jessie's last name as Molsee. But I don't know if that is correct. There are a lot of Williams in the Tonasket area. Look in the Tonasket cemetery directory. I have met Barie Williams. And Edna went by Eden.

Sidley and Sidley lake are practically a stones throw from Molson. And at that time there was a lot of crossing back and forth across the border. You should check out the Molson schoolhouse museum. They are open all summer. not sure if they have a website. Molson has the area's historic sites all maped out: Molson School Museum, Circle city site, town of Sidley site, old Molson museum and ghost town, Molson cemetery and Kipling town and cemetery.

Re: Molson, Washington

In the 1910 census of Molson, Okanogan County, Washington, John Leighton is listed as a single man, age 30, born Scotland (parents born Scotland). He immigrated in 1905, was an alien, and was a bookkeeper at a sawmill.

Regarding the destination on the later return trip from Scotland, he may have considered he was returning to his place of employment at Molson, and his wife and child were returning to their residence at Sidley, BC. It probably was not necessary for him to maintain 2 residences, since Molson and Sidley were very close together and functioned in many respects as one community. The Washington and Great Northern Railway depot at Molson was undoubtedly the closest to Sidley, also. Before this railway reached Molson and Oroville in 1910, the closest depots were in BC, as the railway bobbled along the Canadian-US border on its way from Spokane westward.

The cause of death is not included in the abstracts. The images of death certificates are temporarily not online, and there is no estimated date when they will return.

Re: Beeman name change 1908-1910

RBestrom7380 — 2008-04-06 05:47:47Z

I see you have the birth certificate for Cecil. He probably didn't move on his own at age 2, his parents apparently moved . I did not find them at all in the 1910 census. As far as court records, at age 0 to 10, he could not have petitioned the court on his own behalf to change his name, not until age 21 (then). If his parents had so changed it legally, the below will help. But, in 1908, it was very rare to have an official name change for a child, many birth certificates indicated "Baby" and the name decided upon later. This Cecil could have almost immediately been called Thomas by either the father or mother, or both, on behalf of a parent, sibling, or preference. No one would consider any problem with him BEING Thomas, except perhaps if he joined the military, etc. Then, all he would have had to do would be bring documentary proof, school records, baptism records, signed depositions, etc. that he was Cecil. No one cared back then. Today you have to prove who you are for almost everything.

To answer your question:
1. The Court Clerk for the Superior Court of Okanogan County would be the initial repository for information concerning name change approvals:
http://www.okanogancounty.org/Clerk/Records%20%26%20request....
But, expect to pay, IF they have the record immediately available. IF they have a microfilm of such documents, at this time, you're talking a time period of 10 years.

2. Washington State Archives, Central Regional Branch: Okanogan
http://209.85.173.104/search?q=cache:CJFtDlV5UFkJ:www.cwu.ed...

Since this link may not work. The Washington State Archives, Central WA Region, has archives relating to Okanogan Superior Court. I looked through the available file listings, but did not find any files relating to name changes. Another source would be the County Recorder...IF they recorded the name change. This current link will work if you want to navigate it to the Okanogan holdings. You can contact them for information. Should they identify a possible record repository, if you do not live near the facility, you might enlist a local genealogy researcher.

My search findings:

The Washington Birth Index shows Emma Beeman. and Ammond Beeman (Twins), born 9 July 1913 in Clallam County to E.G. Beeman and Cora Violla Wilson. So this shows the parents of Cecil apparently moved to Clallam County by 1913.

The World War I Draft Registration Card Image database shows Egbert Garrett Beeman, born December 13th 1876, living in carlsborg, Clallam Co, WA

The 1920 Census for Reno, Clallam County, WA, enumerated 9 January.
Beeman, E.G. age 43, born in Idaho, to father born in the US, mother in Missouri, teamster in a saw mill.
Cora, age 43, born in Iowa to father born in Indiana, mother in Missouri
Ethel, 13, born in WA.
Thomas, 11, born in WA
Amon, 6, born in WA (Twin, Emma, not shown)

Re: Pierson & Sons (Grocery Store?)

RBestrom7380 — 2008-02-10 20:26:29Z

The 1889 Washington State and Territorial Census has a
"Wm C. Pierson" age 37 (1852/1853) in Missouri. He was living in Kittitas County, he was married and a laborer. The date of enumeration wasn't identified on the page.

The 1900 Census for Cle Elum, Kitsap county, WA
William C. Pearson, born April 1852, single, born in Missouri to father born in New York, mother in North Carolina.

I looked in the whole State of Washington for ANY Pierson/Pearson/Pearsen/Piersen born plus/minus 10 years of 1855. That would find anyone born between 1845 and 1865. If he was born before 1845 and left in the 1880's, he would have been elderly by the 1920's/1940's.

The 1930 census had NO Pearson, a Gus Pierson from Sweden.

For this person to have a "Pierson and sons", he probably would have had to have sons, probably would be listed with sons in the 1900/1930 Census. UNLESS, he married a woman after 1930 that had sons, but that doesn't sound credible if he was born in the 1850/1860 time frame.

IF your ggaunt did witness a family member with Pierson and sons, it "might" have been a son of this William Pierson; but unless your William Pierson skipped out on this one also, nothing to be found of a possible son in the census.

Without more information, his DOB, or even State of his birth, who his parents were, so he can be found in Arkansas in the 1870 or 1880 census. That would give us the approximate age. Is your ggaunt part of a family that contains a Pierson?

I worked a case a few months ago where the family member was POSITIVE they visited someone in a certain place. But, I found them in another place, they had been there for years before and after. So, the mind plays tricks after a while. Your ggaunt was probably in her teens during the time period? Okanogan might have been a memory because of something else, the great Indian Reservations, etc. OR, maybe someone did go into a Pierson and Son's grocery and William was discussed at the time; but he wasn't actually found there.

But, until the Pierson and Son's Grocery is found, we can't speculate. Hard proof is needed. Start with Okanogan, also look at Kitsap and Kittitas Counties.

Ron Bestrom

Re: Pierson & Sons (Grocery Store?)

RBestrom7380 — 2008-02-10 05:36:33Z

I did a couple of checks, but more information is needed.

Is there a family connection to this person/family? Does she know more about the family, the sons, the wife's name. Any approximate ages? For example was this Bill, a cousin that might be the same age as your ggaunt? Any pertinent family information would help.

Did your ggaunt live there for any length of time? Or, what is the connection to this town that had this grocery? In my many years of genealogy, I've found that over the many years a person lives, memories tend to connect to other memories that are different, memories are lost. I've "talked" to people that were 100 percent sure of a family members location, only to be found somewhere else.
So, any other connection to this family or grocery would help.

From your other posts, always try to identify whatever significant information that you have, a Date of Birth is always number 1, place of birth, parents, siblings, spouse, where they lived, etc., is always helpful

Re: Obit or cemetery info needed

First, obits back in that time period were not as common as today, unless a person was rich, famous, infamous or had died to a newsworthy accident or homicide. A true obit was written by a reporter. Many family members did not want to pay for an in-depth notice for many reasons, cost, the member didn't live in the area long enough, people that would have known they died-probably did, etc. There could be a funeral notice, but it wasn't much more than an advertisement for the funeral home.

Joseph SKEFFINGTON - Molson Precint, Okanogan County

DuaneLarge — 2008-09-23 15:52:44Z

I am looking for information on a relative, Joseph SKEFFINGTON,a farmer and miner. He was born in Ontario, Canada and was the son of Michael and Mary (Brennan)Skeffington. At the time of the 1910 Census, Joseph (age 53)was living in Molson Precinct of Okanogan County with his wife, Catherine (age 40).

I did find a biography for Joseph in the book: "History of North Washington, an Illustrated History of Stevens, Ferry, Okanogan and Chelan Counties", published in 1904 by Western Historical Publishing Company. An excerpt from his bio mentions:

"He has a good house, barn, young orchard, fencing, granary, and so forth. Mr. Skeffington has a group of good claims adjoining the Dreyfus, which show excellent values in gold."

Since there was no mention of wife Catherine in that 1904 bio, he apparently married her sometime shortly after that. I have not found anything on Joseph or Catherine after the 1910 census. I suspect that he may have died sometime between 1910 and 1920, likely in that area.

If anyone is able to provide any additional details, i.e. marriage information and/or death date, I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

Thank you for your message regarding records in Okanaogan County. I know that Joseph was living in Ferry County, WA at the time of 1900 census so he may have been married there before coming to Okanogan County. Also, if Joseph is not buried in Okanagon County, he might be buried in Ferry County.

Re: Pierson & Sons (Grocery Store?)

momulesbymacie — 2008-02-10 21:22:14Z

W. C. Pierson, b. Dec 6 1850, LA. Family moved to AR in 1868, or there-a-bouts. In his mother's h/h in 1870 census. Md. Margaret Copeland in 1871, had a son Fieldrick(s) ca 1879. Margaret & son in 1880 census, she was listed as a boarder/ housekeeper. There is no marking in the married/widowed box. In 1900 she has remarried. That census is the ONLY doc. we can find with Fieldrick in it. No death record or burial site found for him, no other census or mil. report on him.
So at some point between 1879/80 is when W. C. disappeared from the picture. Have been unable to locate him since his marriage record in 1871.
Sure do appreciate all your help in this.

Re: Pierson & Sons (Grocery Store?)

William Chesley Pierson, 'Bill', left the state of AR around 1880. No word was ever heard from him again. He left a wife and baby behind. We don't know why.
Part of the family took a vacation to Washington, her dad saw a grocery store with the name "Pierson & Sons" on it, and stopped there, just because of the sign. He talked to the owner, and recognized him as our missing family member.
They talked for a while, and then continued on.
All she can remember is the name of the county they were in.
She's in her 90's now.

Hello,

I have census records--1880 through 1930 and also found place of burial which provided birth and death year.

My goal is to make contact with a descendant. Charles' father, Joseph A. Howard, was brother to my 3rd great grandfather, Benjamin B. Howard. I am not a direct ancestor but am hoping, foremost, to gain more information about Joseph and possibly about Joseph's and Benjamin's parents.

Thanks for recommending the website.

Aunt Lizzie was an artist and an interpreter She went with the old chief Joseph to Washington DC as his interpreter.

She had several husbands. My Cousin Alice Thompson and Cousin Sylvia Harry can tell you any thing you want to know about her. They descend from Valentine Carmichael Haynes her last husband. Her mother was Skoo kum Analyx who was brother of
hereditary Chief Nespelem George. He was the son of Que Que tas also a chief. Google Que Que Tas + ed Curtis for a photo of him.

Aunt Lizzie died in 1942 (some records say 1940) She is buried in our family cemetery.

You can request a copy of an obituary from the Washington State Library http://www.secstate.wa.gov/library/ask.aspx. Where in the county did she die? That would help them find it.

You can also have your local public library request interlibrary loan of newspapers on microfilm from the State Library, if you want more about the community than just the obituary.

Wenatchee Area Genealogical Society offers an obituary service for obituaries from the _Wenatchee World_ (daily)www.wagsweb.org. Many Okanogan County obituaries appear in it, in addition to the local weekly paper. They may vary somewhat.

Funeral homes are another possible source of obituaries.

Many Okanogan County records are not yet available on the Washington State Digital Archives, but may hold promise. Some other Washington counties are not yet well represented.

Interment.net does not seem to have a cemetery listing online in Okanogan County for Joseph Skeffington/Skiffington. Perhaps a wider net is needed.

Re: Dobbins - McGinnis [Wash St Digital Archives!]

The death certificate image for John Andrew Dobbins is now in the Washington State Digital Archives online!

He was born in Nespelem April 1, 1909. He was divorced from Eleanor (no last name given).

The cause of death was "Pneumonia caused by food and blood in his lung due to having his throat cut by an axe upon which he fell cutting his throat." He was a logger for Biles Coleman Lumber Company. He died the next day August 9, 1939.

The doctor failed to fill in the section on the death certificate that asks about homicide, accident, where it occurred, etc. There may be a coroner's record, too. Unfortunately, Okanogan County is not one of the counties that is well represented yet in the digital archives, but more keeps coming online all the time.

There are quite a few Steiners. Some may ring a bell. It may be she is in an unmarked grave. I understand the print version of Okanogan County cemeteries is currently under revision. If you have not contacted the Okanogan County Genealogical Society, they may be able to help. You may need to order her death certificate.

She had been marreid and had a child but her husband and child had died. they are both buried right next to, and towards the head of Chief Red Cloud.

Josephine, George, Stella, Juanita? Bill? and one other were their children.

You want to contact Stella Runnels in Nespelem she can tell you.

This is probably a distant cousion to me, coming down from my great grandfather and his Native wife. (Skoo Kum Analyx) I think Dan comes down from his brother Hiram.

Re: Miss Malott, mail carrier in Okanogan Co., ca. 1892?

2006-10-02 00:39:47Z

Ida Malott's brother, 15-yr-old Claud Malott took a dip to cool off after disembarking the family wagon near a stop at Chilowist on the Okanogan River. Not knowing the current was fast there, he drowned. After Loop Loop Jim and some other young local Indians retrieved his body with their canoe, the Malotts decided to return to Badger Mountain to bury him. After their long wagon trip from Wenatchee, with children Ida, Will & Rheuben, they returned to this community they had passed, to bury their son. Mary Malott was one of the first white Women to enter the Methow Valley. The Indians called her Tyee (Chief) Malott. Ida, at age 16, was commisioned to carry the mail, and was one of the first female mail carriers.

I have a copy of the land patent files from NARA for anyone who wants them for a James M. Johnson (he turned out not to be my James M. Johnson). He settled in Chesaw, Okanogan County. He origianlly made a homestead entry in 1904. James M. Johnson died in Nov. 1906, and the land went to his wife, but she had already died in Sept. 1905, so this is a second, revised patent being issued to their son Jessie A. Johnson, who at this point had a wife and 2 kids.

For past 3 months I have begun searching the Native American families, and gone to NARA (Natl Archive) in Seattle. Reviewing original documents (Deaths, Marriages, Births as legally can). Que Que Tas is actually Que-que-tasket. Skokum Analix is actually Skocumaralix (according to Clara Crysp death record).

Re: PETERSON SHOOTS GUS RIDDLE IN 1889

2006-09-16 15:19:54Z

Would suggest reading the old Ellensburg newspapers (which are available at the main library at Central Washington University) and/or contact the state archives for the center part of the state of Washington which are on campus at Central. You might be able to get the films (newspapers) on interlibrary loan. I believe at that time, Ellensburg did have two newspapers. The state archives you can use the internet to check if they have the information. Please let me know when and what you find out. Thanks! (There was no obit in the Waterville or Wenatchee newspaper for Mr Riddle.)

PETERSON SHOOTS GUS RIDDLE IN 1889

2006-09-16 03:30:25Z

In the book "Ferryboats on the Columbia River by Robert H. Ruby and John A. Brown page 106 there is an article about the Moses Coulee ferry. In 1889, Gus Ridle, operating the ferry, was confronted by one Mr. Peterson who owed him some money. Seeking to cross the river, Peterson engaged Riddle in an argument in which he shot the ferry operator, who soon died in Ellensburg.
I'm looking for the first name of Mr. Peterson. Would there be a newspaper article in regards to the shooting? Where would I look? What happened to Mr. Peterson? Any help, I would appreciate.
Thank you, Nancy

Re: Ellis Mott

According to the cemetery book published by the Okanogan County Genealogical Society - the Ellis Mott in the Okanogan Cemetery was born in 1908 - dod 26 July 1965 -- so that would be age 56 or 57

Re: Ellis Mott

2006-08-10 21:54:06Z

Thanks, Fred, but that's not the correct Ellis Mott. That one was 42 years old when he died, and the Ellis Mott I am looking for was born in 1911.....too old to be the one from Okanogan.

USHER relatives, Rosicrucians, cremation in 1916?

2006-09-09 01:17:28Z

My g.g.grandma, Flora Margaret (Marteyn) Usher, died in Riverside, in 1916. Her body was sent to Wenatchee Undertaking Co.(?) for services, then shipped to Seattle, for whatever reason. I think she was a Rosicrucian, or a member of the Rosicrucian Fellowship, and she may have been cremated; were there any crematoriums in the valley back then?

Any local info would be appreciated!

Williams and Vroman family

carolstevens50 — 2006-11-03 01:57:32Z

I have just begun my search on this family, some of the basics are:

Husband: Morgan Williams, born 1846, died 1941, came to the area by the 1900 census, buried Methow Cemetery.

Wife: Cornelia A. Williams, born 1854, died 1931, buried Methow Cemetery. She was born in Iowa, maiden name: Stowe.

Children from census reports: Lilah (Lila), Joseph, Ira, Emery, Ada, Lloyd and Clarence.

I have not found Lila Williams since the 1880 census report. Ditto for Joseph Williams and Ira Williams.

Emery Earl Williams, born 1882, died 1918, registered for WWI draft, and buried Methow Cemetery.

Ada V. Williams married Bert Vroman, 1910, she was born 1887, died 1972, buried Methow Cemetery.

Bert Vroman, born 1884, died 1969, also buried Methow Cemetery.

Children from census reports of Ada and Bert: Daniel, Glenn, Irene. Daniel Vroman died 1926, buried Methow Cemetery. Glenn Vroman died 1978, also buried Methow Cemetery. Lost Irene Vroman after the 1930 census reports.

Lloyd Homer Williams, born 1890, died 1972, buried Methow Cemetery. Wife per census was Bertha (maiden name unknown).

Children, from census reports of Lloyd Williams and Bertha were Bessie, Mildred and Lloyd E. Lloyd E. Williams died 1982, have not discovered burial place. Nothing more known about his sisters.

Clarence Williams, born 1892 in Minnesota. No further record of him has been discovered, yet.

As of the 1910 census Cornelia Stowe Williams claims 7 children, all of whom survived to that date.

Interested in finding descendants of these people and of course, filling in more of the family tree. I have history of Cornelia back through her parents and grandparents (maternal).

Re: Anna GRONLUND died between 1910-1919 prob. Okanogan County, Washington

John,
Thank you so much for checking for me. I'm sure this has to be her. She came to America in 1910 with her husband, Karl Johan GRONLUND, and their children. I knew that she must have died before 1919 because Karl married my greatgrandmother in June of 1919. Thanks for the help with the link and the death date. Maybe I'll catch a lucky break and find an obit someday.

Thanks again for all of your help

Anna GRONLUND died between 1910-1919 prob. Okanogan County, Washington

CEB49 — 2007-08-01 13:55:08Z

Hi, I'm looking for the death date for Anna GRONLUND (nee Anna Erika LUNDBERG). She was born in Sweden May 8, 1864 and married Karl Johan GRONLUND on January 28, 1885 in Sweden. They immigrated to the United States in November 1910 and settled in Okanogan County, Washington. In 1917 Karl Johan GRONLUND filed for naturalization and listed his wife on his naturalization papers as Anna GRONLUND, so I assume she was still living in 1917. By 1920 Karl Johan GRONLUND is married to his second wife Vendla, so Anna must have died before 1920. I hope that there may be a cemetery index that lists Anna's death date. Any help will really be appreciated. Thanks

Re: Nancy Josephine Thomas - Carlton

RBestrom7380 — 2007-07-22 06:07:29Z

John,
From this and other posts, you have the basics of genealogy at minimum. I hope to not insult you with my "findings" as you may have already documented them. But, as a long-term genealogist, I must look over all of the available history in a search. You didn't post a lot of background information that I need to review.

The 1880 Census for Slaughter and White River, King County, WA, enumerated 12 June 1880.
John M Thomas, age 57 (circa 1823), born in Kentucky to both parents born in Kentucky.
Nancy, age 48, born in Ohio to both parents born in Pennsylvania.
Annie M, 19
Ivy H, 15
Martha R 13
Nancy J, 10 (born circa 1869/1870)
Mariette, 8
John H. 6.
The census for 1870, Seattle, King County, enumerated 5 July.
J.M. Thomas, 40 (circa 1830), born in Kentucky
Nancy 37, born in Ohio
Charles O(?), 13
Elizabeth J(?), 10
Samuel(?) 8
Annie M 6 (shown as 19 in the 1880 census)
Ivy H, 4 (shown as 15 in the 1880 census)
---So this is probably the same family as in 1880

The 1900 Census for Birch, King County, WA
John Thomas, born July 1829 in Kentucky to both parents born in Kentucky, farmer, married 47 years.
Nancy, born sept 1832 in Ohio to both parents born in Pennsylvania, mother of 10, 9 living.
John H. born Oct 1874, age 25
Arman(?) L. Grandson, born Oct 1889
Charles E, grandson, Dec 1891. age 8 (This is the same name as the below, Nancy was not here...I didn't look for her)

The 1910 Census for Silver, Okanogan County, Washington
Nancy J Thomas, age 40 (circa 1870), to father born in Kentucky, mother in Ohio.
John M. father age 80 (circa 1830), born Kentucy to father born in Virginia, mother in Ohio
Charles E. Thomas, nephew. Age 18 (so, it "appears" he is the son of John H. from the 1900 Census)

Now, for the 1920 census, I input a search criteria of any Nancy, born 1870/plus or minus 2 years, in the State of Washington. I found one that met criteria, the Nancy Baldwin identified far below...wrong person.
I then looked for any person with name beginning with "Jos", born 1870/plus or minus 2 years. Here is your Nancy:

The 1920 Census for Oak, Clackamas County, Oregon, on Steele Avenue:
Bunniel (as spelled), George M. age 53 (circa 1867), born in Oregon, to father in Illinois, mother in Missouri.
Josephine, age 49, born in Washington to father born in Kentucky, mother in Ohio.

The 1930 census for Oak Grove, Clackamas County, Oregon
George M. Bunnell is a boarder in the home of Al Reynolds on Third Avenue. He is 64 and a widower. He was first married at age 49. So, he and Nancy (Josephine) in the 1920 census were married for about 3-4 years.

The Oregon Death Index has a George Bunnell, death 6 April 1934, in Clackamas County, spouse name Josephine. His death certificate was #133.

Here are some sites to search and post inquiries:

Re: Information on Quill Gerking

RBestrom7380 — 2007-08-05 20:01:23Z

If you don't already have his family and background, here is your "Equilla Grant Gerking", born 3 August 1866, died 3 Nov 1937 (per this data)
http://museum.bmi.net/Picnic%20People%20A.L/Gerking,Jonathan...

I did not conduct any search of the US Census, as I believe you may have that information. If not, just repost.

----------------------------------
He owned land in Okanogan County:
http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/ Click on the Green "Search Land Patents". His land was under the name "Equilla G. Gerking"
The First issue was on 6/13/1919 of 157.04 acres, located in the Willamette Meridian, Township 37-N, Range 31-E, Section 6, parts NESW 5,6,7,
The Second issue was on 6/26/1928 of 80 acres, located in the Willamette Meridian, Township 37-N, Range 28-E, Section 33, part N1/2SW.

Now, with his land ownership known.
Go to: http://www.esg.montana.edu/gl/trs-data.html

Enter his land coordinates in the blocks as above for the 1928 issue: Washington, Willamette, Township 37-N, Range 28-E, Section 33, and submit.
The next window shows a bit of info on where the land actually was located.

Click on "Switch to TerraServer" in the middle area. In the next page, you'll see an aerial photo of the area. Click on "Topo Map" (just above to the right of the image). And then on the largest blue block above the left side of the image.

Now, see the place "Anglin" in the middle/lower part. See the red square around it? The red squares are Sections. Now, double click in the red square just to the left of the red square holding "Anglin",. Now, double click on it again. Now you will see a red "33" in that square. This is section 33 where his farm was located. You can see highway 20 running through that area.

Now, do the same for his earlier land, at Willamette, Township 37-N, Range 31-E, Section 6. WHOA, look at this, the name Wauconda all over, and the Wauconda/Summit in the middle. There is already a red "6" in that area. But go ahead and double click in it, then double click in it again. You'll see several buildings in that area, just left of the words "Wauconda Summit".

Now, double click on it again...and change it back to aerial photo. You can zoom in once more by clicking on the + sign on the top left side of the image.

You can now click around here in both aerial and topo maps...have fun. I can NOT say that this is definitely the Summitt ranch that you identify...but it might be what he called his land, his Summit Ranch.

Melissa,
There is no indication why this connects to the thread concerning Sandra Davis Reno.

A quiry asking for emails concerning Springers, probably will not get you anything at all. In genealogy research you must be specific to a person or specific family. There are probably Thousands of Springers across the country. Even if someone associated with a Springer name, even in Okanogan County read this, they probably would ignore it. They would wonder why you have no specific person, or why you don't have a specific connection. Most wouldn't read it because the thread was titled Sandra Davis Reno.

Seeking Ida and BF Bowen

kathryn_george — 2007-02-10 11:46:59Z

Looking for Ida and her husband Benjamin F. Bowen of Twisp, Okanogan County, Washington. Ida's father was Civil War veteran William Wallace Courtright/Cortright, born about 1838, who died at her home on April 23, 1919. They had gone west from Barryville NY (Sullivan Co) and earlier from Greenville NY (Orange Co). Ida's mother was Elizabeth Van Tyle Courtright, who married Wm Wallace Dec 27, 1860, raised a family with him, but died in 1885 back in NY.

Does anyone know about Ida and Benjamin and their children?
Thanks! Kathy

Re: Seeking Ida and BF Bowen

kathryn_george — 2007-02-19 23:03:04Z

Hello Sonia -

Thank you for checking on this. Both Ida and Benjamin are alive in 1930 - that is good. We are related through Ida's mother Elizabeth Van Tyle who married William Wallace Courtright, her father, both from rural New York state. Benjamin and Ida both are born about 1863 or she is two years older. That is surprising that they are in Chicago in 1900; they were probably happier with a farm and growing hay in Wahington state a little later. The Census says Benjamin and his mother are born in Michigan and his father is from New York or Vermont or Virginia!

Did Benjamin and Ida have children? We are especially looking for distant cousins in Washington state or wherever they might be now. Thank you!
Kathy George

Date of death: November 30, 1968
Age: 65
Death Certificate number: 25356
Occurrence of death: Ephrata, Washington

I was at the Wenatchee Area Genealogical Society and looked in their obits for Ephrata and Wenatchee area, but found no obituary. You might try the Okanogan County Genealogical Society: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~heeyjude/Okanogan/r...

Nancy Josephine Thomas - Carlton

northwestpioneer — 2007-06-03 17:35:00Z

Nancy Josephine Thomas was living with her father John Mitcheltree Thomas and her nephew Charles E. Thomas in the Carlton area around 1910. John died in 1911, and we have no record of her whereabouts since. Some unverified information suggests she may have married a George Bunnell, date and place unknown.

As far as I can tell, she isn't buried in Okanogan county. She was born in 1870 at Thomas in the White River Valley (near Kent).

I have scanned every page of the Methow Valley News from 1903 through 1911 but found no mention of her, only a couple mentions of her father. If anyone has any suggestions of further research material that may prove fruitful, or knows anything about her, please let me know.

Thanks,

John

Re: China Wall in Okanogan County

Susan:

Are you familiar with GIS? If so, you can download and view all current property ownership in Okanogan county by getting the parcel data from here:

http://www.okanogancounty.org/planning/data.htm

If you don't have any GIS software installed on your computer then I suggest you get the free dlgv32 Pro software here:

http://mcmcweb.er.usgs.gov/drc/dlgv32pro/

You can also use ArcExplorer as the Okanogan GIS web site suggests, but the USGS software I recommended is much better and is still being developed. Just download the parcel data as a zip file and dlgv32 Pro will open it still zipped up and display it correctly without any difficulty.

Or, if you don't want to become a GIS expert, give me an exact township range and quarter quarter section location for the mine and I will look it up for you.

Re: OBIT LOOK-UP: Edith Hoyt, DOD Nov 1968, Coulee Dam, WA

northwestpioneer — 2007-06-22 22:56:00Z

Boba:

I went ahead and ordered a Grand Coulee
newspaper through my local library and
found the obituary for Edith Hoyt:

Rites Are Held For Mrs. Hoyt

Graveside services for Mrs. Edith Hoyt were held
at Spring Canyon Cemetery Tuesday, December 3. Mrs.
Hoyt was born March 13, 1903 in Michigan and died
at the Columbia Basin Hospital in Ephrata November
30, 1968, following a long illness. She had come
to Coulee Dam in 1943 from Denver, Colorado, where
she had lived for many years and was employed by
the National Park Service as a Clerk-Typist. She
retired from the Service in March 1968. She was a
member of the Coulee Dam Christian Science Church.
Survivors include two daughters, Joanne Fleischman
of Oroville and Alice Listello of Ephrata; one
brother, Russell Somervill of Jackson, Michigan;
two sisters, Eleanor Hess of Vanning, California
and Mildred Osburn of Denver, Colorado and five
grandchildren.
William Barnes was in charge of arrangements.

The obituary was published in "The Star" on
December 5, 1968. I transcribed as accurately
as I could from a very poor microfilm of this
Grand coulee newspaper.

Where is Kimberly?

northwestpioneer — 2007-07-14 00:15:25Z

The Polk 1916-17 directory for Okanogan County lists a relative of mine as living in Kimberly. But, I can find no such place after searching through "Postmarked Okanogan", USGS geographic names, or any old ghost towns, maps, etc.

The only thing I found was a Kimberly Mine that was located near the ghost town of Golden.

Anyone familiar with where Kimberly was?

Thanks,

Re: Nancy Josephine Thomas - Carlton

northwestpioneer — 2007-07-23 19:04:36Z

Judy and Ron:

WOW! Thanks so much for your efforts in finding this information.

I should say that my family is aware of the early history of John Mitcheltree Thomas, thanks mainly to my mothers research. As she is getting older, I am trying to polish up her research so I can get it out to the rest of the family (once I find all of them!). In case you are interested, some of the early history of John Thomas and his wife Nancy Russell was well documented in a publication available from the White River Historical Museum:

Flewelling, Stan, Farmlands: The Story of Thomas, A Small Agricultural Community in King County, Washington, (Auburn, 1990) Erick Sanders Historical Society.

I did find some of the information I was looking for regarding John’s daughter Nancy Josephine after I had posted my query to this board. I now have in my possession her death certificate from Oregon, and have found her mortal remains, which we hope to retrieve to bury next to her mother in Enumclaw. While I still have much to learn of how she got to Oregon from the Methow Valley, I have found a little more information on her there. She apparently received a land grant, which I found at the BLM web site, for a parcel next to her sister Martha’s farm near Benson Creek. And, I found her listed in the 1916-1917 Polk Directory for Okanogan County as still single, but now living in “Kimberly”. But, I have been unable to find any town or post office named Kimberly in Okanogan County and the Polk Directory has no description of it. She is the only one in the county listed as living there. You can see from a later post of mine on this board what I have on Kimberly. I am waiting to get the 1918-1919 Polk Directory for the county to see if there are any more clues about it, and when I get the time I will search the tax rolls for the county at the archives in Ellensburg.

Judy: Thanks so much for finding the information on Charles Thomas! Where did you find the WWI draft registration information? I imagine there are more sources of military records out there to be researched. You have certainly made my research easier by finding him there.

Ron: Thanks for the census information, most of which I had except for the 1930 census which is not up on Heritage Quest yet. You are correct in that all the census records you list are for the family of Nancy Josephine Thomas. Sometime after 1902 when her mother died in Tacoma, Nancy and her father moved to the Methow, I presume to be near her sister Martha.

I really appreciate you finding George Bunnell in the Oregon census, for which I had no luck because I was searching for Bunnell not Bunniel. I had found his death record in the Oregon index, so knew he was somewhere in Clackamas County.

Again thanks for your research. I am still looking for more information on Nancy Josephine’s life in Okanogan county, but I will probably have to visit the archives up in Okanogan to find more, or start scanning more newspapers.

Re: Information on Quill Gerking

Hello:

The 1920 census lists an Equilla G. Gerking in the Wauconda precinct of Okanogan county. He is listed as 53 years of age, white and born in Oregon. His father was born in Indiana and his mother in Missouri. He lists his occupation as a farmer - livestock. His stepmother Annie is listed as living with him at 68 years of age.

I didn't find him in the 1910 census anywhere in Washington.

Hello:

I found Anna Gronlund in the Washington State Vital Records Index as having died in Okanogan on July 11, 1918. Since there is a city named Okanogan within Okanogan county, I am not sure exactly where she died.

She was listed as being 54 years of age at the time of her death. Her death certificate number was 59. You may be able to order here death certificate through the state to get more information. Go to this page to find out how:
http://www.doh.wa.gov/EHSPHL/CHS/Cert.htm

I did a brief search at a genealogical library in Chelan county which is to the south of Okanogan county and found no obituary for her. But, you may have better luck with an Okanogan county genealogical society.

Good Luck,

William Irwin Brubaker in Carlton Wa.

2006-07-30 17:57:08Z

Looking for information on William Irwin (Buckeye) Brubaker, he was born October 14, 1870 in Sheridan, Lawrence County, Ohio and died shortly before May 5, 1943 in Carlton, Okanogan County, Washington.

William the son of David Todd Brubaker and Arzelia Salome Clark has been agreat mystery to me. William and one brother Louis traveled to Washington State, for reasons unknown at this time. However Louis eventurally returned to Ohio, and then moved to Iowa with other members of his family.

At the time of Louis leaving Carlton, his sister Sophia Brubaker Winters moved to Washington with her family to be close to William. She remained there for about 10 years before returning to Ohio.

William however remained in Carlton, Washington until the time of his death, at which time his body was claim by the family and brought to Iowa for burial with his brother Louis.

From everything I know of William, he never married, his body arrived in Iowa on May 5, 1943 for burial. I have no other leads. Need to locate his obit notice, anything that might help me. After working on this man for over three years, I just now found the link to Carlton through his mothers obit.

Re: William Irwin Brubaker in Carlton Wa.

2006-07-30 17:57:08Z

Really don't have a whole lot of information. But what I do have is William Irwin Brubaker born October 14, 1870 in Lawrence County, Ohio and died before May 5, 1943 in Carlton Washington. William was nicknamed "Buck I" William never married, his body was brought back to Iowa to be layed to rest on May 5, 1943 with his brother Louis and another brother David Curtis. William had a sister Sophia who lived in the Washington area for a few years before she returned to Ohio. Any additional info on William would be appreciated... My line is his brother David Curtis Brubaker but William just kind of disappeared out in Washington until his death......

Re: George Runnels - Best - Cate

xxS_H_A_R_M_A_G_N_E_ — 2007-07-17 04:25:17Z

I can trace the Runnels family and the Morong family back to Avesnes, France and to Leyden, Hollad and to Acadia. and down to Maine. I believe the first ancestor I am able to trace is Melchior back in the 1400s.

I have also seen que que tasket spelled kwi kwi tas k't, with other accent marks which I am unable to produce here.

Many of our family's Indian names are spelt phoneticaly by whomever is writing them. Usually non indians.

Que Que Tas, was the brother of Tonasket and probably old Wishtoken too. Many of the male names ended in "as k't" or "asket." the women's names in "Analix" or "tsa" There was Ellen who was Skookum Analyx, my grandmother (her daughter) was Whistum analix and there was a Skee alix.. I have seen these names spelt "alyx."

Ellen's maiden name was Que Qur Tas (or the above spellings)

She took the name of her father. George was her brother.

The little girl Ruth is my aunt Ruthie,eldest daughter of Whistum analyx, sister of my mother RoseAnne. Her father was a Whitley I believe.. My grandfather adopted her when he married my grandmother. So Ruth was Ellen and George's grand daughter from their youngest child. Yes Ellen is the person referred to as Ellen American.

Does it mention her Bullwhip!LOL! She sued to beat the crap ou tof men who abused their Indian wives!

I think Aunt Lizzie married Valentine Haynes. Uncle Val was a cattle rancher. Their Ranch was across the Canadian Border.
My cousin "Auntie" Alice was her granddaughter.

Her daughter also an Alice is still in Canada.

George was also a miner. Every mine he staked always bore gold.

George with Okanogan Smith started the first mule team in Eastern washington.

He has a rich history. he worked wiht the Hudson Bay company, he ahd already been to China and around the world several times by the time he arrived in Nespelem.

My great grandmother Skookum analyx, knocked him clean off his horse with a stone when he accidentaly wandered into the women's bathing lake. When he woke up he was in Grandfather's lodge. Your ggrandfather Hiram was my great grandfather's brother. They were originally from Maine. Thomas Runnels and Eliza Morong were their parents and there was a great aunt Mary and others who later came to Washingotn too. I have pictures of them.

Ezekiel's parents were from New Brunwick . His father, Enoch G Mallory was born 29 May 1837. The family moved to ness KS in 1867, and enoch later moved to Colorado.

Ezekiel's brother Marshall c 1857 New Brunswick , lived in Baker City OR in 1880 and died in Walla Walla 25 Nov 1901.

Ezekiels son Trevor Howard Mallory registered for the draft in Onkanogan and later lived in Portland OR with wife Blanche. and died about 1959.

I don't know what happend to Hazel.

Trevor's brother Warren died in Oroville

There appeared to be a Hasford b 1902 and Murray b 1906 ... this may be the same Murray b 13 May 1905 and lived in Monroe co MI...but I'm not sure of that.

Here's a bio of Enoch from Colorado which mentions Ezekiel. I have give you his lineage back to 1644. I'm not related.

Enoch G. Mallory 1905 Bio, Eagle County, Colorado

This enterprising and progressive ranchman and cattle breeder of Eagle county, this state, with a fine property in the neighborhood of Basalt, comes of a sturdy strain, with a family record for longevity in years, prodigious energy in youth, manhood and middle life and great clearness of mind and endurance of body even in very old age. He is a native of New Brunswick, Canada, born on May 29, 1837, the son of William N (Noble). and Jane (Snow) Mallory (double mayflower decendant), the father born at Yarmouth, Massachusetts, and the mother in Nova Scotia. In his young manhood the father moved to Canada, and there during the remainder of his life he was actively and successfully engaged in farming. Both he and his wife were members of the Baptist church, and he was known as Deacon Mallory. They had a family of eleven children, five of whom are deceased:Elizabeth died October 3, 1850; Josiah, who died on February 22, 1903, at the age of eight-four; Margaret, then Mrs. Elijah Osser, who died in Carlton county, New Brunswick, on October 30, 1903; Elisha, who died in Florida, on January 13, 1894; and Harriet, in 1904. The six children living are: John, who resides in Carlton county, Canada, and was born at Wakefield on November 20, 1820; Anna K., born on February 8, 1822; Hilkiah, born on June 1, 1825; William A., born on March 4, 1829; Ezekiel, born on March 29, 1833; and Enoch G., born on May 29, 1837. The father, who was born in July, 1795, died in March, 1885, and the mother, born on September 1, 1801, passed away on August 15, 1847. They were married on November 12, 1818. Their son Enoch attended such schools as were available at the time, and when but a boy began to make a hand on the farm in the assistance of his parents. He remained with them until he reached his twentieth year, then rented his father's farm
and farmed it until 1874. At that time he gave up farming and became proprietor of saw and grist-mills which he operated two years,then moved to Ness county, Kansas, where he was engaged in farming nine years. In the meantime, however, during this period, leaving his farm in the care of his family, he came to Colorado, and after spending seven years in this state had his family join him here. After a short residence at Leadville he moved to Ashcroft, then some time later to Aspen. Mining was his principal occupation during these years, but he also devoted some attention to lumbering and milling. In October,
1887, he took a squatter's right to one hundred and fifty-five acres of land which he afterward converted into a pre-emption claim, and which is the ranch he now owns and occupies. Here he has quietly pursued the vocation of a western farmer and cattle-grower, improving his property and bringing it to productiveness, until he has one of the choice country homes in his neighborhood, cattle being his main resource. He
was married on June 21, 1857, to Miss Levicy A. Hoyt, a native of New Brunswick, born on October 16, 1831, and the daughter of Orlo and Phoebe (Wood) Hoyt, also Canadians by nativity, and successful farmers in that country. They were members of the Free Baptist church and the father was a prominent Orangeman. They had three children, two of whom are living, Emma, wife of Lawrence Mersereau, and Mrs. Mallory. Their
mother died on April 26, 1837, and their father on August 28, 1875. In the Mallory household eight children were born, and six of them are living. Marshall N. lives at Sumpter, Oregon; Ezekiel at New Chicago,Montana; Joseph F., at Otter, Kansas; Carrie S. (Mrs. William Smith), at Niles, Kansas; Murray C. in Indian territory and Sarah (Mrs. Frederick Stiffler), at Basalt, Colorado. The parents belong to the Baptist church.

Ezekiel's uncle Ezekiel Trussel Mallory moved to Georgia with another brother.

Your Ezekiels great grandparents were murdered in their beds along with four siblings of Ezekiel's grandparents.

I am researching the family of my husband's 2great-grandfather, Andrew L Miller b 3-09-1809 Tn, died 8-27-1865, buried in the Cornelius Burke (Burke I) Cemetery in Screven Co Ga. His brother William is also buried there. This is a small family cemetery, with 11 marked adult graves.

One of these is the grave of Elizabeth Mallory b 9-15-1841, d 2-2-1878, with the inscription "wife of Elijah Mallory" on her toombstone. I have determined that she was Elizabeth Burke, daughter of David Burke b 2-24-1818 Screven Co Ga and his wife Lucinda Daughtry. David and Lucinda are also buried there.

I have determined that Elizabeth's husband was Elisha Mallory b 12-04-1827 Massachusetts, died 01-13-1894 Florida.
Mallory, Thank you for the reply. I guess Elisha was probably hired by the Burke family to teach their children, and he probably wasn't related to any area families? It is amazing to me that his children were put in an orphanage. The Burke family was both wealthy and prominent in Screven Co, and Elizabeth's parents had several children. Her father, David, died in 1872, but her mother died in 1888, ten years after Elizabeth.
I feel sure that this is the correct husband for Elizabeth, even though the name is spelled Elijah instead of Elisha on her toombstone. I recently read the records of Double Heads Baptist Church in Screven Co, in which the Burke family was actively involved, and found E.S. Mallory among the members. I also found an article on Rocky Ford Ga which identified Elisha Shaw Mallory as a machinist there.

My Millers were in the railroad business. My husband's 2great-grandfather, Andrew L, was a railroad manager, and other families surrounding them seemed to be involved in railroad or lumber or industry. Interestingly, one of Andrew's sons moved to Savannah in the early 1880's to work as a machinist. When I first started my research, I did not expect to find these connections to old Screven Co families nor to expect so much land and wealth in their past history. My husband's great-grandfather died at age 31. but the family did retain land which he inherited. However,my husband's grandfather, Dr. Clifford Miller, did have to struggle financially to put himself through medical school. He didn't talk much about his family.

Another interesting thing is that there is a tie to Massachusetts. My husband's great-grandfather, William Thomas Miller, married Sarah Vidella Dutton, a granddaughter of William Henry Dutton. Henry was born in 1789 in Massachusetts, and was a carpenter who moved to Savannah to help rebuild the damage from the Revolutionary War. He stayed in the area and built plantation houses in the Screven-Bulloch area.

Unfortunately many of our old records for Screven-Bullloch have been destroyed, as both courthouses were burned during the Civil War, among other disasters. I have been researching the Millers for five years, and still don't have any clue to the parents of the three brothers, Andrew, William, and Drury. I am trying to learn as much as I can about the families buried in the Burke cemetery, because I really do think they are related in some way. There are only 11 marked adult graves there. I am starting to think that this particular cemetery is more a Daughtry family cemetery than a Burke one, from what others have told me.

Do you happen to know what happened to any of the children of Elisha and Elizabeth who remained in Georgia?

Noel Lanier's parents moved to Eureka, GA, near Oliver, where they remained for years. This property was later obatained from Captain Noel Lanier by the Reverend Thomas Washington Lanier, who for ye ars filled the pulpit at the Eureka Baptist Church (Thomas Washington Lanier’s daugher married Horace Mallory)
Major Lanier moved to North Carolina after the Revolutionary War, and was a member of the North Carolina House of commons in 1787 and 1788. About 1790 he moved to Georgia, where for 27 years he repr esented in the the Georgia Legislature that part of Screven Coutny that later became Bullock Co. Major Lewis Lanier was the only member of the Georgia Legislature who did not own stock in the land c ompany that tried to defraud Georgia in 1796. He stood up and fought to the finish in what is known as the Yazoo Land Fraud. the State of Georgia named the town of Lanier after him for his distingu ished services.

Member of the House of Commons elected 1788/1789 Anson Co. North Carolina; senate elected 1789/90 Anson Co. North Carolina.

During the stirring times of the Revolutionary war, Major Lewis Lanier acused General Butler of south Carolina of cowardice in battle, and fought a duel with him, in which both were wounded. While r eturning home, Major Lanier spent the night at General Butler's home, not knowing that he was accepting the hospitality of his recent combatant. The meeting between these two at Butler's breakfast t able the next morning, brought about their friendship, and Major Lanier afterwards fell in love and married General Butler's daughter, Ann.

Major Lanier owned a 627-acre plantation. On these expansive acres, upon which much of Oliver, Georgia now stands, five generation sof his descendants have distinguished themselves as educations, l awyers, physicians and dentists.

Major Lanier was a personal friend of the Marquis de LaFayette, and was invited to a reception tendered LaFayette in Savannah, Georgia, but his feeble health did not allow him to make the trip.

When 21 years of age, being an ardent Whig, he volunteered as private in the Essex County, Virginia Militia, was elected captain and afterwards promoted to Major. He was in the Battle of Long Bridge . During his service, he was wounded in the arm and leg and was captured and confined for nine months." (Official record from the Revolutionary War Section of the Bureau of Pensions, Washington, D.C .).

Major Lanier lost his sword while crossing the Delaware with General George Washington, and was presented with another by Washington, who was his kinsman (second cousin once removed of George Washing ton) and commander. This prized sword hung over the mantle of Captain Noel Lanier's home at Oliver, Georgia, but was later destroyed.

John B. Zacherle

MichaelZacherle — 2006-09-13 18:06:20Z

Hello,

I am looking for any help to locate the ancestors of John B. Zacherle (B. stands for Baptiste, as far as I know). He was born June 18, 1868 and came to the US in 1877 (that's the family legend). He lived in North Carolina for a while, worked in Seattle for four years until coming to Omak (St. Mary's Mission) in 1900 where he married Pauline Cleveland, a native american girl, in 1901. He died in 1951.

I am living in germany and am kind of a family historian. I am in contact with John's descendants (in fact, I have visited them twice), but his origins remain a mystery. I only know that he came from germany and that his mothers' maiden name was Heits.

I would be very grateful about any help!

Thanks

I do not have more data about them. But as their families still live around Omak, they could possibly be related.

Re: Williams and Vroman family

Morgan Williams was a fairly affluent man when he arrived in Okanogan Co, in the town of Methow. He revieved a larger-
than-normal homestead claim (176 acres) for his land on December 17th, 1906 by traveling to Waterville, Wa (which is now 65 miles away over smooth pavement!).Five and a half years later, on 6/1/1911, he traveled back to Waterville to buy 18.6 more acres nearby. Morgan's son, Emory E Williams bought 161.25 acres near his father on February 20, 1911. They were neighbors with Abel Shaw, Commissioner Walter Bolinger (who built the large stone house in the middle of town) and George Dick, all well known men of the period.

Re: Information on Quill Gerking

judyartley53 — 2007-08-04 05:31:20Z

Another thought, check with the Court House about the probate of his will or court records if he didn't have a will.

Re: Information on Quill Gerking

judyartley53 — 2007-08-04 05:30:13Z

Hi Dan, Quill Gerking doesn't appear in the databases I have access to. However, take a look at www.ghosttowns.com/states.wa/wauconda.html. The fellow who wrote this book might have run into the Gerking name during his research.

Also take a look at www.estatemansions.com/tonasket.php which tells you more about Wauconda.

Speaking of Wauconda, there is also an active town of Wauconda, IL. I don't think you mean that Wauconda but thought I'd mention it.

The index of the Oroville Cemetery doesn't contain his name but that doesn't mean he isn't there.

Check out rootsweb, choose washington state and choose okanogan county and look through their data bases. Do the same thing for usgenweb.

He could have been buried on Summit Ranch. I think that was illegal in 1938 but that is a remote area of WA state. Check with the Okanogan Court House people who have the land records. I don't know if you can provide them enough info for them to search but worth a phone call.

Check with the Okanogan County Court House for his death record.

You can contact the Okanogan County Genealogical Society, PO Box 701, Okanogan 98841-0701 or the Okanogan County Historical Society, omakchronicle.comachs/index.html. The "Omak Chronicle" is a newspaper and they might be able to look up his obit.

Also for a copy of his obit, send an email to askalibrarian@secstate.wa.gov with his name, death date and place. They search the newspaper microfilm and if they find it, they will email it to you. They respond if they can't find it too. Good luck!

Re: China Wall in Okanogan County

Susan, don't you mean the China-Poland Mine? Check with your local library about inter-library loan. There are several books about the Okanogan County that mention the China Wall (which is just about all gone but did exist in Okanogan) and the China-Poland mine. The name of the mine sticks in my head because that's the brand name of a pig.

Hi John, this family was fun to investigate because they are one of the earliest to Wash. Terr. that I've investigated. They definitely quality for a Washington Pioneer certificate. Look up the Washington State Genealogy Society web site, choose Projects and Pioneer Certificates before November 11, 1889.

John M. Thomas died March 3, 1911. He was a Private in the WA Territory Foot Volunteers. He was buried in Beaver Creek Cemetery, Okanogan Co., WA. Source: http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/wa/okanogan/cemeteries/....

I always check rootsweb.com, choose state and choose county and usgenweb, choose state and choose county. They are wonderful sources.

I don't think Nancy Joseph Thomas married in Okanogan County. She isn't listed on the index. source: freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~heerjude/okanogan/marriages/1900-1930/index.html.

Charles Elmer Thomas her cousin who was living with her in 1910 was born 10 Dec 1891, Tacoma, WA. In 1917 he was living at Transport Creek, Seattle, King Co., WA. He was single and a steward for the U.S. Army, Transport Creek, Seattle. He was short with medium build and blue eyes with light brown hair. Source: WWI Draft Reg Card, 6/5/1917.

I did find Charles E. Thomas and wife in 1930 in Seattle. He was born abt. 1892, WA, 38 yrs old & mgr. of a restaurant. His wife was Ada C., born in WA & 35 yrs old. Her mother was living with them, Mary Kelly, widow, born in Canada English & 67 yrs old.

I included Charles' info because families generally stay relatively close together. I'd check King Co. records for her too.

I didn't find Nancy Josephine Thomas or Bunnell after 1910.

I'd check the land records at the Okanogan County Court House in Omak. I'd also check the probate of her father's will.

Also the Okanogan County Gen. Soc., PO Box 701, Okanogan 98841-0701 and Okanogan County Historical Society, omakchronicle.comachs/index.html might be of help. Good Luck!

My grandfather, George Edwin Maage, was the son of John and his first wife, however, our records indicate she died later than what I have found on these threads. Maybe there was a second wife? My grandfather, George, married Dorothy Milke, of WI, and they had 5 children one of which is my father, Thomas John Maage.

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~heeyjude/Okanogan/m...

Birth records are found for two of her children:
Pooler, Unnamed female (Dollie?), b. Mar 22, 1911 Conconully
Pooler, William J. b. Nov 9, 1912 Conconully

Social Security Death Index shows:

Magee-Jussila

Smurf19943 — 2006-11-04 02:22:24Z

Am searching for information on my step-Father's family.

His name is Clifford Marion Magee. He was born 6/28/1917 in Tonasket, Okanogan County, Washington to James Marion Magee and Louise Olmsted (?). James Marion was born on 1/7/1895 in Washington and died 10/7/1969 in San Luis Obispo, California. Do not know where Louise was born or died.

Clifford Marion Magee married Esther Jussila who I believe also was born in Washington on 5/16/1917 and died 4/1985 in Wolf Creek, Oregon.

Any information on these families would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Re: Magee-Jussila

Smurf19943 — 2006-11-04 02:22:24Z

The only information I have to date is the name of my step-father's first wife, her date of birth and place of birth.

Esther Eleanor Jussila was born May 16, 1917 in Vader, Lewis Co., Washington and died April 1985 in Wolf Creek, OR. I do not know her father's name nor have I been able to find anything in the 1920 or 1930 census.

Re: old Mason City

ddubandmarylew — 2007-03-26 23:04:17Z

Have you had any replies to your 2004 question about Mason City, Washington?

We lived in the town of Osborne, WA from 1935-1940, during the construction of the Grand Coulee Dam. My younger sister was born in the Mason City Hospital on Easter Sunday, 1939. This is a clear memory since she was only the 2nd of the children in our family to have born in a hospital! I have some reference material to events occuring around the time of the dam construction which may answer your question more completely.

My recollection is that Mason City, as such does not exist, but has been replaced with a new name; either Grand Coulee, WA or Coulee Dam, WA. I'll look that up for you. Give me some time to review my sources.

My e-mail is {ddubandmarylew@gmail.com} Our home is in Wenatchee, Washington.

Thank you so much for your message of Dec 31. I have just now discovered it. I was certain there were still Johnson relatives in the Twisp/Methow area. Unfortunately I don't know where Aaron Johnson's farm was. He had fourteen children, only ten of whom lived, my grandmother among them. I would very much love to get in contact with some of these relatives as I am doing research on family roots, some for my own interest and some for a graduate project. I know there are Johnsons buried in the Beaver Creek Cemetery. Are you perhaps related to the Esther Shaw who is married to Dave Johnson? Any help with phone/email/snail mail contacts would be helpful.

They have a lot of photos covering the last century. I've spent a good deal of time going through them and still have a ways to go. Washington State University at Pullman, WA also has a lot of photo's taken in Okanogan County by a young man named Matsura who lived in Okanogan at the turn of the last century.

Re: cruelty to horses in Omak

2005-09-16 22:06:39Z

The annual Suicide Race has been going on in some form in that place since before white people came to the Okanogan. The ratio of men killed to horses killed is about 10 to one. The Appaloosa (literally, a palouse horse) has been specifically bred to with stand the harsh conditions of the palouse basin. Before the town of Omack grew up around the race course, it was not unknown for horses to range up there.

My aunt in Brewster, WA is Ethel Lautensleger Riggan. They are listed under her name or initial I think. Either that or under R.D. Riggan. My other aunt is Dorothy Lautensleger Riggan in Vancouver, WA. I'm not sure if she's in the phone book. I'm not in touch with her all that often. You might try the Lautensleger name in a directory search and it may turn up.

Re: Conrad Lautenschlager

2005-09-10 05:06:28Z

I don't know about the shortening of the name. I know the Lautenschlager families here in Washington use two different spellings and they are all descendants of Conrad Lautenschlager. Both of my aunts are his granddaughters and they took the spelling "Lautensleger". This is the spelling in Brewster, WA where we all lived. The cousins in Colfax, WA area and Endicott/St. John spell it the original way "Lautenschlager" but they all know each other.

Does anyone have access to state death records to see if his parents names/birth places are shown? I have census and immigration (1904) information but nothing more. He claimed Switzerland as birthplace but "mother tongue" was "Swiss-Ger" so likely on the border or once part of Germany. Any assistance would be appreciated.

cruelty to horses in Omak

I can hardly believe the people of Omak would tolerate such terrible cruelty to horses as in the annual race DOWNHILL that injures and kills so many beautiful animals--this is a tragedy and constitutes severe animal abuse--what is being done to stop this? Or are the citizens of this small town not aware of this?

Re: Conrad Lautenschlager

2005-07-04 21:54:41Z

I am no relation to the Lautenschlager/Lautensleger family other than by marriage twice!!! I can get some info for you though. My dad's two brothers married Lautensleger girls who were first cousins. My uncle Roy D. Riggan married Ethel Lautensleger, daughter of Heinrich/Henry "Hank" Lautensleger and Irene Darlington of Brewster. My uncle George E. "Joe" Riggan married Dorothy "Dot" Lautengler, daughter of Hank's brother Leo Lautensleger and his wife Milly Scheuerman. Old Conrad Lautensleger finally settled with other Russian German relatives who had settled near Endicott, WA and died down there. There are still many Lautensleger?Lautenschlager relations down there. I think he married Maria Ruhl but would have to ask to verify. I know that when he left Okanogan County for Endicott he took all of his children except oldest son Hank who stayed in Okanogan Co. and married Irene Darlington. Several of his brothers Leo and John Lautensleger moved to Brewster and my dad grew up with all of their kids. I live in Spokane now and have met some of the Lautenslegers from Colfax area and they are acquainted with the Brewster families from visits and family reunions.

If you need information, I can find out what you need. Or, I can put you in contact with my aunts who will be able to give you more as this is their family.

I know a few things about the Paradise Hill area as I grew up there. I know the Knowlton family, my uncle is Dan Gebbers whose family had the old Gamble Mill up on Paradise Hill, and my brother-in-law is Kirby Brown, grandson of Art and Pearl Rawley Brown who lived on Paradise Hill. My family, the Riggans, came to Brewster from Dallas Co., Ark. and married into the local families. I'll be glad to provide what information I can for you. I can always ask my cousins if I don't know. Email me at my email address. Thanks.

Lovejoy December 7 1890

2005-07-19 17:52:10Z

Seattle Post Intelligencer Dec 7 1890

The Passing Throng. Gossip of Seattle’s Streets and Hotels. The Okanogan Republican. How He was Euchred out of Election to the Legislature – From Destitute Dakota.
Colonel J. C. Lovejoy, of Ruby, is at the Diller Hotel. Colonel Lovejoy, who is the manager of the Okanogan Mining and Supply Company, was the Republican candidate for representative from Okanogan County at the last election. “The result of the election is in doubt,” said he last evening, “for there were a number of irregularities in the various districts. For example, in the Wenatchee precinct, which usually gives twenty-five or thirty straight Republican votes, no election was held because somebody ran off with the poll books, taking them up into the mountains.”
Colonel Lovejoy came here from Colorado and has been a resident of this state for three or four years. He is much interested in plans for the development of Okanogan County. “I believe there is a great future for Okanogan,” he declared, “and we shall go ahead very rapidly when a railroad gets through to carry our product to the market. Now the way to Ruby is by a stage ride seventy-five miles from Coulee City. We have recently secured a daily stage service. The Great Northern surveyors are running all through the Big Bend country; but the only way for them to get from the uplands down to the Columbia River is by Foster’s creek, and they will undoubtedly make their way down there. What direction the road will take after striking the river is more of a problem.

Payette, Idaho
Jan. 8, 1925

LARGE COUGAR KILLS 13 YEAR OLD BOY

H. B. Orcutt was in Payette Monday on business matters and to meet a few of his many Payette friends. He came from Wenatchee a few days ago, and will make his home for the winter at the home of his daughter in Weiser.
While here Mr. Orcutt related a sad incident that occurred a few days before Christmas near Omak, Washington, about one hundred miles north of Wenatchee, while he was there on business matters. A boy, 13 years of age, was killed by a cougar. The lad was with other parties when the car in which they were riding became disabled, and on going for help, cut through a canyon in the mountain country, but did not reach his destination. His mangled body partly eaten was found by the parties the following day. The animal is an exceptionally large one, and has been the terror of that section for some time. Since the tragedy occurred, expert hunters have been brought into that section from British Columbia to run down the savage beast, but up to a recent date had not been successful. One dog belonging to the hunting party was killed by the cougar.

William Newman / Tonasket Wa

2004-08-26 01:02:48Z

I am looking for information about a William Newman who I believe was from Tonasket Wa, he married an "Emma" 24
Dec 1934. They were of "grandparent" age at the time of the marriage. Emma was my g-grandmother and had a variety of husbands, she and William were married in King County, but I have reason to believe William was from Tonasket. I would guess they were born about the late 1800's Emma's daughter was 29 at the time of Emma's marriage to William. Emma's maiden name may have been Schultz, but I don't know what the marriage record would read as she had at least two husbands before marrying William.
Any help would be very much appriciated,

old Mason City

2004-07-31 17:10:32Z

Looking for history regarding old Mason City - under water when dam was flooded.

A birth certif. says born 1939 in Mason City, Okanogan Co. at Mason City Hospital and was told that the town is now underwater. I’m trying to clarify and find a little history of the old Mason City.

Was it a town built for the dam workers?
Did the town get moved to present day Mason City?
If not, where were the records moved to?
Was there a hospital in old Mason City?

On USGS GNIS (maps), I see where Mason City (Historical) was behind Coulee Dam and today’s Mason City is to the east of the dam.

I've exhausted my ideas of where to look on the internet for information. I’d appreciate comments or suggestions of where to find some history.

Mr. Bean was my grandmother's nephew. My grandmother had saved photos and letters from his mother and father dated 1897 to 1900. If anyone has any information on this family, I would be most appreciative. I will be happy to share the information that I have from my Grandmother's collection.

George Bean would not have fought in the Spanish American War, as he was born in 1896, and would have been an infant/child during that time period. I don't know what his wife's name was. His death record indicates that he was divorced at the time of his death.
His mother's name was Antionetta Hartwig Bean and his father's name was Arthur Bean. He was born in Omaha, Nebraska.

Did you or your Grandma know about the cattle stealing that the hHaley family was involved in? I imagine maybe your grandma will be gone by now, and I would be sorry to hear that. Shirley

Re: Miss Malott, mail carrier in Okanogan Co., ca. 1892?

rlduran — 2005-11-30 17:42:30Z

Her name was Ida May Malott, daughter of Leonard C. Malott and Mary Hamilton. She was born 02 Jun 1873 in Olema, CA and died 05 Jun 1963 in Modesto, CA. Leonard Malott moved to Okanogan County in 1886, the post office was established in 1890 and Leonard was the first postmaster. Ida delivered mail from Malott to Alma, now Okanogan. Ida probably only delivered mail for a short time because she was married to her first husband in Dec of 1891.

The picture of Ida on horseback delivering mail was published in the book. "The Story of Our Post Ofice" by Marshall Cushing, published in 1893 by A. M. Thayer and Co., Publishers; Boston, Mass.

I have found something that leads me to be the full name is Cullen Bryant BASH, the Deputy Collector of Customs at Osoyoos Lake, Wasington Aug 1881 to Aug/Sept 1885. I am typing into a computer file a letter Mr. BASH wrote March 19, 1936 plus one he wrote Aptil 1933. It does not say what year General Sherman came to Okanogan County but I believe I have seen a book about this trip by Sherman and his visit to Yellowstone Park.

Thank you for responding. That was from quite some time ago but I still have a few items I'm missing and hope you can fill me in. For example, do you know the exact date that your aunt Lillie married Claude Hunter? I have about 1917. Also, I have Lillie as born 11/4/1896 from the Tonasket cemetery records. Alternately, I have her possibly born in June of 1897 as the daughter of Andrew and Emma Rounds. Can you clarify that for me?

Thanks again and best regards to you.

Amanda Fairbanks Woods

xefan — 2005-04-09 04:51:38Z

I'm looking for any stories, pics of Amanda Fairbanks Woods.

She arrived in Okanogan County with her husband, Charles Woods who dies around 1910. Her kids were, Beulah, Murray, Mary, Nellie and Lottie.

Amanda received a land grant around 1915.

If any of the kid's descendants are still living in Okanogan County, would love to meet/talk/email with you and trade info.

Amanda died in the 1940s and is buried next to her brother, Edward Fairbanks.

Fairbanks in Okanogan County(OC)

xefan — 2005-04-09 04:43:37Z

I'm looking for information, pictures, news articles etc... on the follwing:

Edward F Fairbanks-father, born 1837 in Ohio. Find him in 1900 census, can't find him after that. They were living in central WV at that time. The Trails and Tales of Okanogan County mentions the family arrived in WA in 1908. I cannot find any death info on him anywhere.

Helen B Fairbanks-mother, received 2 land grants in 1916 and 1917 in OC. Born in Ohio, married Edward in 1860 in Ohio. Died Jan 1920 in OC.

Edward Fairbanks- son and arrived in OC with the family. He never married and is buried along side his sister, Amanda Fairbanks Woods. He died in 1940 or 41.

Fred or Frederick Fairbanks-Best guess that he arrived sometime in OC during the 1940's and died in Oroville, WA in Sep 1946. Rumored to have remarried and may have had more children with 2nd wife? This is my g-g grandfather, looking for any desendants that still may be living in the Oroville area.

Edward G Fairbanks- died 31 Mar 1931 in Oroville

Amanda Fairbanks Woods- died 19 Feb 1941 in Oroville

Myrtle Fairbanks Woods- 24 Jul 1944 in Oroville

Fred or Frederick Fairbanks died 6 Sep 1946 in Medicine Lake, WA but was a resident of Oroville.

Hope this isn't too much. Please let me know costs for copy and postage. Thanks so much.

By the way, you wouldn't happen to know Violet Utt would you?

Re: Pine Creek, Washington

shirley98802 — 2004-09-13 02:30:01Z

I don't know if there ever was an actual town of Pine Creek or not. It most likely was an "area" they called Pine Creek, as I believe it is still called. A few miles north of Riverside, Washington there is a paved road that turns left (north) and that is Pine Creek Road. We are aware of the area as we grew up in the Okanogan valley and my husband's brother-in-law, Sonny Didra, is from Pine Creek.

MALOTTE

gcchap — 2005-05-23 20:32:00Z

Respecting the community of Malot, has the name ever been spelled "Malotte"? My research takes me to Malott in 1891. Family records indicate that Ida Mae MALOTTE married George Lawson HEDGES and later Pleasance Powers HEDGES, in Malotte. Ida Mae had a brother, "Will." I'm trying to sort out Malott versus Malotte families. The Social Security Death Index lists entries for both MALOTT and MALOTTE, but at this time I don't know if any are relevant. November 27, 1997

Re: MALOTTE

gcchap — 2005-05-23 20:32:00Z

Although another member of the Malott family has been helping, further information is always welcome. Ida was a colorful character. It's fun to capture that color. I will be pleased to hear from you.

Ggparents in Nespelem in 1930's

jstpotter — 2006-02-23 04:20:16Z

My family was logging ~1933 in WA state...They were living in Nespelem on the Colville Indian Reservation and doing logging.. their or nearby I don't know.. they were their no more than 2 or 3 years. My g.grandpa, Dave Potter, was friends with the conservaton officer, who came by for supper. (My Gggma, assisted by Ggma, was the camp good and said to be a good cook).

My grandmother Mescal Potter was a little girl there, she very fondly recalls it and had a beautiful necklace made with seedbeads (sadly the stringing rotted and it fell apart).. She wore a buckskin play dress, and I have photograph of her, with a doll also wearing a buckskin dress. Also there was gggma, ggma, cousin Bart Belcher. There is a photograph of Bart Belcher with 'Dan Dana'. Dan Dana is not a relative that I know of... is he someone's family in Colville?

Would anyone have a clue regards logging in Nespelem area and how I might obtain any additional information about my families presence there.

I apologize, I have a correction to my previous post. I wrote that Frank C. Graham was married to Hattie Marble Graham in the 1910 Malott, Washington census. Actually, he was with his 2nd wife, Clara, by then. Shortly after that census was taken, they had their first child together, Hannah Miriam Graham b. 1911. Sorry for the confusion.

Ann Catherine Graham Free

Re: School

AnnFree — 2006-01-27 22:50:30Z

Jill,
It's possible that my great great grandmother is the same Frances Graham b. 1839 that you are researching. She was living in the same household as her son and daughter-in-law, Frank C. Graham b. 1872 Canada (my g grandfather) and Hattie Marble Graham b. 1876 California and their children, [Francis Carroll, Joseph A. and Hattie V.] Graham in Washington 1910. This would be shortly before her death, as she was not listed in the 1920 census. I suspect that her maiden name was Evans, but I have not taken the leap yet as I have not found proof. Is this the same line as you are researching? Perhaps we can share information. Feel free to contact me direct at AndyFree@Bellsouth.net.

Jim Johnson arrived in the Methow with his mother, Susan Schengar, along with Mrs. Ashbell (Sarah Ellen Barett) Libby
and 3 young children on November 10th in 1887, traveling over the Chilowist Trail. They arrived in 2 wagons, the 1st being a freight wagon, followed by a stage coach, which carried the people. Jim married ivy in 1896. Their ranch is still occupied, and can be seen up on Capwright Mountain on the east side of Twisp. By early June, Jim was seen riding about in a "fine new top buggy with one of the prettiest little buggy teams seen in the valley." (Methow Valley News-6/7/1907).
