Hi,

If anyone needs a lookup for Yakima, WA, or a picture of a headstone, etc., just let me know and I would be more than willing to try to do that.

Looking for the cemetery BESSIE E. (Murfin) & GEORGE W. SINCLAIR are buried in or an obituary on Bessie. I know Bessie died in Yakima, WA. I believe she died Oct. 31, 1982 & born in MO. George may have died in 1928. They had 4 children. Thank you for your time.

I found Bessie's obit, and will scan it to my computer later, but for now:

Published by:
Yakima Herald Republic on 1 Nov 1982

Bessie E. Sinclair, 97, of 211 S. Naches Ave., died Sunday at Yakima Convalescent Nursing Home.
She was born June 3, 1885, in Rarden, Ohio, to George and Esther Murfin.
At the age of three, she moved west with her family in a covered wagon.
They settled in Missouri and she was reared and educated in Hartshorn.
She later moved to St. Louis where she attended a tailors' school.
She married George W. Sinclair on March 30, 1909, in Montrose, Colorado.
They moved to the Yakima-Selah area in 1922.
Mrs. Sinclair also spent 11 years in the Bainbridge-Bremerton area where she worked in the tailor shop in the shipyards until 1953 when she retired and returned to Yakima.
Mrs. Sinclair was a charter member of the Stone Church and was president of the Women's Ministries for a number of years.
She was preceded in death by her husband, George W. Sinclair, on Feb. 17, 1928, in Yakima and by a son in infancy.
Mrs. Sinclair is survived by three sons, Warren Sinclair of Olympia, Norman Sinclair of Kennewick and Stanley Sinclair of Selah; one daughter, Mrs. Clarence (Grace) Dalton of Yakima; 8 grandchildren, 16 great-grandchildren; 11 great-great-grandchildren; and several nieces and nephews.

A separate piece I found:

SINCLAIR-Funeral services for Mrs. Bessie E. Sinclair, 97, of 211 South Naches Avenue who died October 31 will be held at 1:00 p.m. Thursday, November 4 at the KEITH & KEITH 9th Avenue Chapel. Pastor Dale Carpenter of the Stone Church Assembly of God will officiate. Burial will be in Tahoma Cemetery. Mrs. Sinclair was the beloved mother of Warren Sinclair of Olympia, Norman Sinclair of Kennewick, Stanley Sinclair of Selah, and Mrs. Clarence (Grace) Dalton of Yakima; grandmother of 8 grandchildren; 16 great-grandchildren; and 11 great-great grandchildren; aunt of several nieces and nephews.

I will have to go down-town to the Yakima Library to look at the microfilm and see if they have George's obit. there because they only had an index of him at the Genealogical Library. The index stated the following:

George Sinclair
Died: Feb. 17, 1928, at age 45
He is buried in the Tahoma Cemetery, the same as his wife.

Thank you so very much! I truly appreciate your time.I will be waiting for obit on George. I have no idea what state he was born in and am very curious to know more about him. Bessie's obit had a lot of info that was very interesting!

Didn't have a chance to look for George's very long today, but I have tomorrow off so I'll update you tomorrow.

Thank you! I will be waiting to hear from you again. I really appreciate these obituaries you sent today.
