Hans & Nellie Petersen

kena1865 — 2009-11-05 06:13:50Z

I am looking for the marriage date and maiden name for Nellie, wife of Hans Petersen. Hans Petersen (b. Jan 1867 in Germany) married Nellie (b. Mar 1884 in Kansas) about 1899. They appear in the 1900 U.S. in Brookfield Pct., Wahkiakum Co., WA.
http://search.ancestry.com/iexec/?htx=View&r=an&dbid...
In 1910, they appear in Altoona Pct., Wahkiakum Co., WA.
http://search.ancestry.com/iexec/?htx=View&r=an&dbid...

I am also interested in any information that might be available about Hans Petersen and the other Peterson families listed on the same census page in the 1910 census.

GenWeb has Torrence Dean Howard, the other two I can look up for you at the library and make copies.
The little bar is the Oasis Tavern, if it was the little house that stood on the hill it is now gone, that area has been taking a beating with the floods.
The WAhkiakum County Museum has a lot of obits on file, I am not sure if Kari does look ups or not. she is highlighted in blue still when you go to the genweb site.

I am wondering if the Museum has anything in the files about the Howard family who lived on Little Island? Can you post membership information and research fees? I have been researching my family there for years. Mary Lang was a friend and neighbor of my mother.

Re: Wahkiakum researchers

aechancy — 2009-04-11 00:42:15Z

My uncle Torrence Dean Howard, lived in Skamokawa for many years, in a little house on or near the Fairgrounds. There was a bar nearby. Anyway he passed 29 Apr 1996 in Kelso and I realized I dont have his obituary.

I also dont have obituaries for my grandparents, Earl and Aurora Howard, who died 22 Sep 1982 and 3 May 1942, and are also buried in Cathlamet. They lived on Little Island for many years.

Im wondering if this information is available. When I went to visit my Dad years ago the paper had been microfilmed but there were no readers. Are interlibrary loans available for films?

Thanks a lot.

B L Co Fir shiplap in old building

lacquer — 2008-08-09 18:51:24Z

Hello,

I found a reference to a Bradley Logging Co out of Wahkiakum County. It operated as B L Co from 1908 to 1923 (I believe – from the steaminthewoods.com web site).

I have a building in Richmond Beach (Shoreline) WA and the fir shiplap boards are marked B L Co. Did the logging company also operate a mill?

I appreciate any information you can give me.

Thank you.

Kando74 — 2008-08-09 18:50:48Z

Ralph Keyser who will be publishing a book on Wahkiakum County, Washington Logging in the coming months answered your question over the telphone. He said that Bradley Logging Company sold in 1924. While they owned a lot of timber land in Wahkiakum County they did very little logging themselves, contracting instead to Cathlamet Timber Company. There is no record in the Wahkiakum County Courthouse that they ever milled any logs but could have had a portable sawmill for a few logs.

He also said that there was a Bradwood Logging Company across the Columbia River from Cathlamet that logged and had a mill and used the initials you cite. He suspects that is where the lumber in your building was milled if it was a very large.

The other "person" has not properly identified the source of information, it is NOT:

> Source: WA Death Index on Mormon Church site.

It is the Family Search Labs,
http://labs.familysearch.org/
It holds the Washington Death CERTIFICATE Index. It shows he died on 9 March 1921 in Cathlamet, Wahkiakum County, Washington at age 73 years, 2 months and 5 days. His father was identfied as James Allen Scarborough, his mother was Ann Elizabeth.

ANYONE can access this site.

AND, for the obit. Back in 1921, obituaries were NOT common for us Commoners. An obituary was written for the famous, infamous, victims of accidents or at the hands of others. Sometimes a death notice was published. Sometimes the family DID pay for an obit. The Washington State Library searches FOR AN HOUR in newspaper microfilm for the area that a person had died. Here is their website that has BETTER contact points at: http://www.secstate.wa.gov/library/ask.aspx .
You can see the newspapers that they have microfilms in the catalog of holdings at: http://www.secstate.wa.gov/library/microfilm.aspx

Re: Kaup, Gill, Burch families

1sully2 — 2007-10-31 19:09:40Z

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
This village was shocked last Thursday to hear of the sudden death of Mrs. George Burch, of West Valley. 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. Henry Goodman Kaup, b. 16 mar 1880 John Day Oregon; d, 2 nov 1957 in skamokawa. M.Jennie Olson 21 Feb 1914 in Skamokawa, children Donald and Dorothy. Siblings Mrs. Josephine Graeff and Mrs. Annie Titus,

Re: Berg

I have checked most of my sources and can not find those names. Have you looked in Westport Oregon. I know many were there for a time.
Most of the ones I find in Skamokawa came around 1900 to 1910. if you would like a list of those names let me know. I will check next time I am at the Wahkiakum County Court house for more information.

I first found Andrew Pernula in Northside, Sweetwater Co., WY in 1900. He was born July, 1873, Finland, single in 1900, immigrated in 1895, alien and a coal miner. He was living in a boarding house and a Mathew Pernula was listed above him on the Census. Mathew was b. May 1882, Finland, single in 1900, immigrated in 1900, alien and a coal miner.

Andrew, wife and family appear on the 1910 Census in Deep River, Wahkiakum Co., WA. Andrew was married abt. 1905, b. Finland, immigrated in 1900, pending application for citizenship, 26 and woodsman logging camp. His wife Emma was b. abt. 1890, WA and had given birth to 3 children all of whom were alive in 1910. Ester b. WA, abt. 1906; Minnie b. WA abt. 1907 and Wilfred b. WA abt. 1909.

He was an alien declared and an engineer for North Shore Logging Co., Megler, Pacific Co., WA. His nearest relative was Mrs. Emma Pernula, Anieda. He was medium height and build with blue eyes and light hair.

In 1920 Andrew and family were living in Deep River, Wahkiakum Co. Andrew's citizenship application was still pending, he was a general farmer & 36 yrs old. Emma was 30. Ester was 14, Minnie 12; Wilfred 10; All children b. WA. Helen 7; Harold 5; Wilma 4; Theodore 3; and Lester 9.

The Censuses available to the public end at 1930 which makes it more difficult to trace family members after that date. I didn't find anything else for Ester, Minnie, Helen and Wilma. They probably married. There's a "Look Up" link at www.rootsweb.com/~wawahkia/.

Hi my family was in Deep River from early 1900's, my dad was born there in 1909 I have photos from around 1909 to late 1920's. Also they had a house at Miller's Point.
The logging camps mentioned are K M Camp and Olson Camp. I have a lot of photos of unknown's to me as no names on the photos and some that the names were hard to read from fading over the years. If you want I could get you the site I have the photos on so you could look through them and see if you know anyone.

Hi Jan,
I have been looking for your updated email and figured this was the best way to reach you. We talked about the Skillingstad name a couple years ago. Please contact me off the board at: tamw25(AT)shaw.ca

Brix Cemetery or the Old Grays River Cemetery is on private land owned by the Burkhalters but they have always been willing to allow visitors to use the drive on their property to access the cemetery. The land around the cemetery was originally homestead by Charles Amundsen who sold it to Marius Amundsen. Brix's buried there are Christoph Brix born 12/25/1872, died 11/8/1887. Ella J. Muriel (Barr) Brix born 7/14/1884, died 2/7/1902. Herman Brix born 11/20/1878, died 4/14/1895 or 1896. Phoebe Eva (Majors) Brix born 2/15/1877, died 7/14/1900. It is thought that Peter Johannes is buried there but no physical headstone, he died in Portland.

Kari, Alexander Monroe was my grandfather and Harold was my father. Their other son was Arthur, not Antim. Antim, my great grandfather is actually Anthony Timothy. I would like to correspond with you and exchange information. It is exciting to find someone else doing genealogy on this family. My brother and I have quite a bit of information we would be happy to share with you. We are trying to trace the family from Quebec to California. We know 4 brothers were in Markleeville, Ca and came to OR & WA from there. I may have pictures of the graves in Cathlamet if I can find them. My e mail is Nancybei@cs.com.

I would like to know if anyone out there knows of the John Johnson Berg family that lived in Skamokawa in the 1880s or 1890s. The names are John and Effie(Roberts) Berg and daughter Olava Leavy Berg. Another daughter Laura was born there I believe in 1883 or 4. They later moved to LaCenter.

Thanks for any info.

Thanks, I would like the names of any other Bergs in the area. I was in Skamakawa a few years back and read somewhere that there were other Bergs and I thought maybe they were relatives as my Bergs came out from Wisconsin and I was wondering why they would go there. I also have Moes from the same area.

Thanks again,

Alice

Thank you I have been to the center in February and March of this year and been by the cemetery since it is on private land. Have pictures of the tombstones from another lady. The center is great and the ladies there were very helpful. Thank you.
