Surnames: Kaup, Gill, Burch
I'm looking for any relatives with connections to Wahkiakum County from these families. Charles and Lillian Kaup, Harry and Eva (Burch)Gill, Henry and Jenny (Olson) Kaup, George and Gertrude (Kaup) Burch. All these Kaups originate from Heinrich and Gertrude (Drueke) Kaup who moved from my hometown in Nebraska to Cathlamet, WA.

I am doing genealogy research on all possible branches of my family, and would like to know more about this branch. I can't seem to find many descendants.

I am not a descendant, but shirt tail relative. Here is some of what i know.Sudden Death of Mrs. Geo Burch.From Skamokawa Eagle Sept 28, 1899

She had started about her household duties in themoring in her usual good helth, singing and apparently well and happpy, but towards noon her eldst child a little girl of five, startled her father by telling him that mother was dead. He left his work and hurried to the house only to find that her words were too true, for lying across the bed, her feet resting on the floor, lay his wife, dead. It is thought that Mrs. Burch died of heart failure.
Mrs. Burch was the daughter of Henry Kaup, of Cathlamet, and was 25 years old, and had been married to Mr. Burch some seven years. They have three little girls the youngest about a year old. Mrs. Burch was noted for her many acts of kindness among her neighbors and it was with sincere sorrow that they learned of her death. Her funeral took place Saturday noon at Fern Hill Cemetery and was attended by a large circle of relatives and friends. Her children were Amy born Aug 1892, she married Dayton Bielman 27 november 1913. #2 Alice born nov 1895 married William Willoaghby 25 dec. 1911 #2 Eva born june 1898 married Harry E Gill 22 july 1917.
