What happened to William Ross and his wife Julie C Simpson, had a son named John Ross; James Alexander and his wife Leota Cannon and their children; Mary Strait Ross and her sister Edna C Ross. My reason for trying to find this family is that Mary McArthur's grandmother was Ann Currie sister to Dugall Currie my great grandfather. I am updating the Currie family tree, and would like to have all of them in it. My e-mail is janetgc@sasktel.net

Who's buried in Dad's tomb?

MEMeeker — 8 Sep 2008 5:14:13 GMT

When my father died the staff at Mt. View Cemetery in Walla Walla discovered that his intended grave was occupied by an unmarked grave, occupied by F. G. Chandler (b.1850, d.1930)or his wife Mary Chandler (b.1860. d.1922). We moved my father's grave but I would like to learn about the Chandlers. All I know is that he worked at the Marcus Whitman garage in Walla Walla at one time.

obit please--Deborah Lynn Brown died Oct 16, 1970 also Waitsburg HS yearbook 68/69 pix

daninor — 10 Sep 2008 5:30:33 GMT

according to a obit for Carol Shively (which i have) in The Walla Walla Bulletin, Deborah Lynn Brown died Oct 16, 1970 on Hwy 124, eight miles east of Burbank, WA. Deborah may have also been a resident of Waitsburg as was Carol. It's possible that both 18 yr old girls were traveling together and may have been killed in a traffic accident.

Would also greatly appreciate a scan of any pix of either student in the '68/'69 yearbook. Carol was a member of the HS National Honor Society.

Both girls may be related to each other as well as to me. I don't know where Deborah lived.

Thanks sincerely for your assistance

Evenson family

LMOELLER — 28 Jul 2008 3:14:17 GMT

I'm looking for descendants of William (1888-1958) and Modjeska (1886-1955)Mechlin Evenson. Mojeska was born in Ohio; William probably in the upper Mid West (Dakotas, Wisconsin, Minnesota).
They had two daughters, Carol (b. 1910) and Ruth (b.1916). William and Modjeska are buried in Mount Hope Cemetery. I have information on the Mechlin family which I'll gladly share, on her father's (Francis Mechlin) side, but her mother died when she was only a year old, so I don't have much on her, Mary Carter. I have nothing on William Evenson's parents, but I would like to know about them as well. I also have photos of both William and Modjeska which I would be happy to share.

Seeking descendants of Cyrus Warren

pjacroux — 17 May 2008 7:04:48 GMT

I am seeking information about the descendants of Cyrus Warren who migrated to Southeast Washington in the 1870’s.

Cyrus married Emeline/Amelia/Emily Hartung, a native of Germany in 1845.

He had a daughter, Julia Abigail, born c.1846 in Ohio. All his other children were born in Lawrence County, Missouri.

In the 1870’s his sons Jason and John Cyrus migrated to Asotin County, Washington. Daughters Ida Jane, Amanda Lois, and Elvira apparently came with them. The mother, Amelia, followed but Cyrus stayed in Missouri and is buried there.

Jason stayed in Asotin County for some time and then moved to Gridley, California.

John Cyrus is buried in Dixie, Walla Walla County, Washington.

Amelia is buried in Peola, Garfield County, Washington

Ida Jane is buried in Idaho.

Amanda is buried in Clarkston, Asotin County, Washington.

Elvira is buried in Spokane, Washington

Emma is buried in Kalispell, Montana.

Any information regarding this Warren line would be greatly appreciated.

seorfer — 29 Feb 2008 8:19:56 GMT

In a 1937 obit, a survivor of Grace Cotter McCorkle is listed as Mrs. E.R. Hook, of Wala Wala. Her given name is not listed, though I believe it to be Fern.

I would like to connect with a fellow researcher of this family.

If someone has city directories and could tell me if they were listed around then, that would be helpful. Fern was born before 1919, and was still living at home in Nebraska, and single at the time of her dad's death .

Any help or leads to find more info would be very appreciated.

A Japanese man Oishi Seinosuke was in Walla Walla in 1891. He was confirmed at the church of St. Paul's on October 23. He is also listed in the census of April 1892. His name appears next to the Law family - Victor Marshall (a medical missionary), Nora and their three children. The Laws had been in Japan, their youngest was born there in June 1890.
If anyone had any more info on Oishi in Walla Walla I would be delighted to hear it. He's definitely in Portland by September 1893. I wonder when he left Walla Walla.
Dr. Law is dead by the time of the US census of 1900. If anyone knew when, where and how he died ...

I am trying to find out more information on my half sister's

Elsie passed away almost after my sister was born,
and her father Clarence Schultz passed away in 1976 when my sister was only 11 years of age. Would appreciate any information on Elsie and Albert.
WE know that Albert was born in Minnestoa around 1899 from what we have found in the 1930 fed census in shoshone county,Idaho.
Elsie was born in Jan 13, 1909 in Prescott, Walla Walla Co, Washington to Carl Jensen and Elizabeth Freeburn.
Would like more information on marriage date and place for Elsie and Albert and also more information on family of Albert.
The census stated that his father immigrated from germany and mother was unsure what was wrote (think france?)
We think they might have been married in Walla Walla County in 1929
Elsie and Albert had 4 children-
Joanna,
Norma(not living),
Clarence Adam (not living),
Albert G.JR (not living)

Bumgardner/Baumgardner/Bumgarner, Harper

omasan_1 — 4 Jul 2007 1:03:09 GMT

Looking for information on Harper Bumgardner (other possible spellings). I believe he was born in Missouri, son of Sigel and Sarah Bumgardner. Someone has found him on the 1905 Walla Walla census,but I am unable to find that census. I don't know if he died in Walla Walla, or moved on to other places. Any help at all will be greatly appreciated. I believe he was born around 1890. Don't have any definite proof of this. Thank you for any and all help.

I am looking for assistance in finding information on my great uncle and aunt. They were both raised in Ashley, North Dakota, and I believe they lived in Walla Walla. Anna M. (Hoffman) Forrest died approx. 1970. Her husband Howard A. Forrest may have lived quite some time beyond that. Once she passed away, all information ceased. Also, does anyone do obit. look-ups that may assist me in this? I would greatly appreciate any help that could be offered.
