Descendants of William and Carrie Ellsworth (Cedonia)

yake159 — 4 Feb 2008 5:28:57 GMT

I am searching for living descendants of William (1862–1931) and Carrie (1867–1948) Ellsworth (lived in Cedonia after ~1928). William’s grandfather (also William, of Strong, Maine) was my great, great grandfather. I am hoping to locate relatives who can help ID photos from the Ellsworth family that date back to the 1860s and perhaps earlier.

Descendants of William and Carrie Ellsworth include: Clifford E. Ellsworth (m. Mildred Dashiell), Roy A. Ellsworth (m. Laura Little), George Ellsworth, Cassie Ellsworth, Winnie Ellsworth/Reynolds, Clara Ellsworth/Burke, Hattie Jeanette Ellsworth, Nona Ellsworth/Summerour, and Peggy Ann Ellsworth/Stach.

Margaret Henchley Landon, Emma and Herbert Ford

rockstrom — 23 Nov 2007 9:07:16 GMT

I am researching Margaret Henchley Landon who died in 1928 and is buried in the Chewelah Pioneer Cemetery. I beleive her daughter was Emma H (aka Harriet)Ford, married to Herbert Ford who are also buried there. I beleive Emma was the sister of Anna Maria Landon Pickell who was the mother of Georgia Pickell Linscott. One of Georgia's daughters, Zelda is also buried there. I'm wondering if there are any descendants of these families still in the Chewelah area, or if anyone has any information about them.
Thank you!

Linscott, Charles mining records and birth/death record for Selda

rockstrom — 6 Nov 2007 2:08:43 GMT

I'm wondering if there is any way to find early mining records for the Chewelah area. Charles W Linscott did some mining there between about 1906 and 1910 or so. Family stories are that he started a mine in the area but didn't have the funds to get the ore out of the ground and sold it. I am also searching for birth and death records for his daughter Selda (or Zelda) born in about 1907 and died in 1910. She is buried in the Chewelah cemetery, but I have no other information.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated,

Stevens County Missions

WAS: Stevens County Roots:

> Hello Ron, I would like to say Thank You to You for what you do. Thank You.

First, You're Welcome. I have had some time recently to assist others in genealogical research. While I have family and family history in Colville/Stevens County, I don't live there (currently). There are many qualified genealogists in the Stevens County, or among those that view the postings. Other qualified experts can be found via the Stevens County GenWeb: http://www.rootsweb.com/~wasteven/stevens.htm or, via the Northeast Washington Genealogical Society: http://www.newgs.org/ . I am sure that whenever any assistance on this board does not completely answer the inquiry, that someone will fill in those gaps, possibly offlist.

> Would you by chance know anything about The Early Days of Stevens
> County? I have two concerns, or questions.
> One is, Do you know anything about the Old Missions? Most specifically, who
> Trained oxen in the winter time in the early 1900's for the misson?

The NE WA Gen Society as identified above has a number of fine history books for sale, as well as some fantastic database references. This question is very unusual (at least to me), but very interesting. I would enjoy doing research on this; but my distance to Colville makes that impossible. I will try locally. (On the Norway List, I got involved in research concerning a group of Norwegians that trapped reindeer, put them on a ship to New York, transported them across the USA to Seattle, then sailed to Alaska. It was a very interesting project. Yours about the oxen would also be interesting. If someone doesn't respond to your inquiry, contact them.

Public Records

RBestrom7380 — 24 Apr 2007 4:39:33 GMT

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

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

READ this article.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

POST this on your genealogy sites you visit.

and:

In the 1930 US Census for Tekoa, Whitman Co, Washington
Lucy D Austin, age 55, married, married at 38,
Albert E. 16
Noma L 15 They are living with the brother of Lucy:
George W. Irwin, age 64
Anna A, Irwin, sister to George age 58.
Also in the household:
Jay Butler, Nephew, age 42
Williams, Mary B, Grand Niece 4 11/12

In the 1920 US Census for Latah, Spokane County, WA
Lucy Austin, age 45, born in California, to father born in Indiana, mother in Illinois. Lucy is identified as being married.
Albert E. 6, born in Oregon to father born in New York, mother in California
Noma L, 5, born in Oregon, NY, CA.
Lucy is living with her brother John M. Irwin, age 56. He is a farmer.
Also in the household is Anna Irwin, age 48, and George W Irwin 54, siblings to John.

The 1900 US Census for Little Hangman, Spokane County, WA
Lucy born December 1875, Single, born in CA to both parents born in Missouri.
Living in the home of:
John M. Irwin, born April 1862 in CA to both parents born MO.
Robert, father, born Dec 1827 in Missouri
Sarah J. Mother, born Dec 1836 in Missouri.

I will continue to look for this Charles Austin, we know now that he was "supposedly" born in New York. But, he wasn't living with the family in 1920 either. Without further information on him, Date of Birth, etc., it will be difficult to identify one Charles Austin from another. I will look for marriage information also. The World War I Draft Registration Card images might show one that is married to Lucy, since Edward Albert was born around 1914.
--Washington Death Index has Edward A. Austin, died in Spokane on 17 Oct 1978 at age 65, his residence was in Whitman County.

I will post this preliminary research (as I have to do other things) in the event someone has information about them.

I have relatives on a 1930 census in SOUTH FORK, Stevens County, WA. Can anyone tell me where that is/was? My mother thinks it might be 20+ odd miles out of Colville - but doesn't know which direction. She lived in South fork from about age 4 through 9 before moving to Chewelah. So, her memory is not real clear on the location though she has extremely fond memories of it. We are planning to drive through Stevens County next week and were hoping to find this area.

Peterson shoots Gus Riddle in 1889

Nancy L. Woodward — 9 Feb 2006 6:25:25 GMT

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 Riddle, 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

Stevens County Militia Records 1892

wa7ros15 — 31 Jan 2006 11:18:41 GMT

My grandfather LOTZE is listed on the "Roll of Persons Liable to Military Duty" in the 1892 militia records in Stevens County. He was 37 by then and listed in the Clugston Precinct. That record was at the archives in Cheney. Does anyone know of ANY other paperwork/records for the military duty from that timeframe? I keep trying to run down where he originated in Germany.

Squaw Creek on census - where is it exactly?

Irene Merrill — 2 Jun 2006 4:34:42 GMT

Doing research in the 1920 and 1930 Censuses, I find several subject families living (and farming) in Squaw Creek, Stevens County. What community might that be near, or about where in the county is it located? I find "a" Squaw Creek on the USGS topo map, but it certainly doesn't appear to be a developed area at all. Any help anyone could help would be very much appreciated!

Stevens county newspapers

@@ikie4@netzero.com — 13 Jul 2006 8:05:16 GMT

Hello,
I have reviewed the newspapers that were published in the Stevens county region which are available for inter-library loan to my local library.
My problem is that my deceased relatives lived in the Dunn/Maud/Daisy region. I believe having a ranch there. My question is, would anyone happen to know which paper (might) have published an obituary of their deaths from that region. I am looking at the years of 1911, 1940, 1967, & 1985. I am wondering if it might have been a newspaper from Colville?
Any help/suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you, Don

Good day,

I am looking for descendants of Anna Flory Waitt born around September 1883 in Dakota Territory. She is the daughter of Matthias Flory and Frances Schotthoefer Ackerman Flory. The family moved to Canada around 1903 and lost touch with some of the family members. A clue to her whereabouts was the menion of her name as Anna Waitt from Valley, Washington. The obit she appeared in is her half brother, Joseph Ackerman in 1956 in North Dakota. Any clues or information on this family would be most helpful. From the cemetary records that are online for Valley, I am hedging a guess that her husband's name is Charles.

Original Daisy Washington

Peggy (Britton) Boone — 22 Jun 2005 2:23:34 GMT

Does anybody know if the original site of Daisy Wahsington that went under water in the lake above Coulee Dam, is in Stevens County?

Were the original buildings...I understand at least 3 stores, etc,...moved to a new location? Is there a Daisy Washington currently in Stevens County?

Does anybody have any photos of the original buildings of Daisy (even if they are in a new location)?

the reason I am wondering is because my grandfather Clarence Custer Britton began school in the original Daisy Washington. I would love some info and pictures if anybody can point me in the right direction.
