Re: Canter family from Missouri

amandahatten1 — 2009-07-04 04:43:20Z

Hi,

I live in Yakima and go to the Yakima Valley Regional Library and the Yakima Genealogical Library often. I will see what I can find on Aaron and Agnes, their children, etc. after this holiday weekend.

Re: Canter family from Missouri

kdkleinberg — 2009-07-03 00:24:56Z

Good evening,

I located Aaron's information from this website about 3 months ago as well as most of his family. I have also used the "Ask-a-Librarian" which sent me a lot of obituaries on line. These are 2 awesome links from Washington that I have taken total advantage of.

Missouri has available actual copies of death certificates from 1910-1958 via the internet through the Secretary of State website. This is also so valuable and free.

again, thanks for the info

Re: Canter family from Missouri

kdkleinberg — 2009-07-02 17:05:15Z

HI Beth,

Where did you find the death certificate for Aaron Canter?

Is it a copy of the death certificate or what is online from Washington State?

I do have the death certificate from Agnes Canter; age 17. I also noticed that it listed her as being married.....sometimes you wonder what the family knew, was she trying to protect herself or someone else???....we will never know. I located the cemetery where her parents are buried, it is not too far from where I live and will see if I can locate any info about her there, her death certificate has her listed as being in the same cemetery with her parents.

Thank you for the link to the newspapers in Washington, I will probably be hitting that one hot & heavy.....

again, thanks for your help & ideas...

Hi again,

I was curious abaout Agnes CANTER, wife of Aaron, and find a 1915 death certificate in Missouri for a 17 year-old Agnes CANTER, nee NELSON. I know Aaron's 1914 death certificate does not list a spouse, and this Agnes' death certificate states she is married, but I thought I should bring it to your attention in case there is a link:

Re: Canter family from Missouri

bethrau1 — 2009-07-02 16:10:44Z

Hi Karen,

It's interesting to note that Aaron's online death certificate doesn't list a spouse. I find no indication of Agnes' death or remarriage in Washington State.

I have searched through several online newspaper subscription sites but don't have access to any historic Yakima papers.

You, or another Canter family member, might find old Yakima area newspapers interesting. I have found surprising information about my own family from various locations, and also got a good idea of what life was like in the towns my family lived in. Here is the link to the Washington State Library newspaper site. Your local librarian can order films through interlibrary loan for use in your own library:

Hello...would you be willing to find an obituary for Ruth Lorian Hilliard Gray who was born 24 June 1927 and died 12 July 2006 in Toppenish WA please? I would sure appreciate it and thank you~

Re: Canter family from Missouri

kdkleinberg — 2009-07-02 12:45:17Z

Good morning,

I have used the website from Washington state and it is awesome and have recived several obituaries including John & Talitha.

From those obituaries I have gathered lots of names which, again, has helped immensely in building this part of our family tree.

I truly would love to get in contact with any of those family members who may be looking for their ancestors back here in Missouri.

There is a Canter history group which is very active, the administrator is from Ohio which is where most of the Canter's orginated from and moved into Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri and points west, mainly Washington state.

I am especially interested in Aaron Canter, who died in 1914, he was just married in Missouri before he moved with his family to Washington and died probably within the first year of moving there. I would love to know what happened to his wife, Agnes (nee Nelson) and if he had any children. I think my fascination with him and his family is that it is such a mystery and I love a good mystery!!

Thank you for your response, maybe this will also trigger a response from someone else.

bethrau1 — 2009-07-02 05:15:27Z

You don't say what info you already have and what exactly you are looking for.

You may find some information in the online Washington State Digital Archives. I believe I found John CANTER'S death info listed, although the spouse is written as "Telitha", not Tabitha.

Infected Tooth Proves Fatal
Yakima, Wash., April 28. An infected tooth caused the death last night of Martin Hanson, 23, whose home is in Vernon, but who has been living here for several months. His parents arrived tonight to take the body home for burial.

kdkleinberg — 2009-06-28 02:17:58Z

I am very interested in obtaining any information about John & Tabitha Canter from southeast Missouri. They came to the Yakima area in the early 1900's and with their 8 children, lived their lives there.

My great-grandmother, MayBelle Canter, would have been John's sister.

Any info will be greatly appreciated

For a Klickitat County, Washington State history project:

Can anyone tell me anything about Mrs. Egbert French? She was Indian, but I can't find her name or the name of her tribe. She was highly respected in the community.

Egbert French was an important person in our history, holding several county offices. I know they had a daughter Susan.

Re: George and Lucy Jane Burlingame

tomwagner1123 — 2009-06-18 15:58:28Z

You are correct it was William Burlingame who was married to Lucy Jane Holvenstot. I was confused when I said his name was George. William Burlingame did indeed die 28 Aug 1899 in MN.

Your index card is very helpful, I did not know Lucy's date of birth before this. Also its helpful that it shows her fathers name as John "Halverstat" because I suspect Holvenstot is a variation of this name.

Thanks for the info about Lucy's children and for the obit. It's a great help and fills in some blanks for me.

I did find a kind person who did a lookup for me and found obituaries for Harry, his wife Vernis and his son Jerry. This gives me a lot to work with.

Hi Phil,
You'll have better success if you request a copy of his obituary.

A Harry E. Tilley b. 14 Sept. 1905 died 1 Sept. 1987, Yakima, Yakima Co., WA. Source: Social Security Death Index, www.ancestry.com.

There are a couple of volunteers for obits on Random Acts Genealogical Kindness, www.raogk.org. Read the instructions, choose Washington, choose Yakima Co.

You can also request an obituary published in WA from the Washington State Library, www.secstate.wa.gov/library/ask.aspx . They will search the newspaper microfilm for 60 minutes at no charge and email to you what they do or don't find.

After I receive the obit, I use www.whitepages.com to find current contact info for survivors. Successful Searching!

Re: Amelia ( Permelia) Price, Brinkman

RBestrom7380 — 2009-04-15 04:35:52Z

I find a private family tree identifying "Permelia (Amelia) Price", born 1866 in Nebraska. Family tree for the McDougals. In trying to contact the "owner" I find your name. (Why do people keep their trees private? It makes finding information so very difficult)

I find another of your postings from Nebraska:
http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.neb...
This posting identifies Robert Price and Nancy Thompson went to Tecumseh, Johnson Co, in 1856. Robert and Stephen, a son, died shortly thereafter. If Robert died shortly after 1856, he could not have been the father of this Amelia. You list several children. You identify a son "Hansford Price married Permelia ? then married Mary Harrison".
---Note: the 1850 Census for Lawrence Co, Kentucky, has Hanford Price, age 24, married to Pemelia, age 23.
---Note: The 1870 Census for Richardson Co, Nebraska, has Hansford Price, age 48, Mary age 23, daugher Amelia was 3, (This Amelia would have been born about 1866/1867)

In another posting, you identify Rose M. Price was your grandmother, born 1873, and was a daughter of Hansford Price. Rose married an Earnest C. McDougal.
http://boards.rootsweb.com/topics.census.us.mo/509/mb.ashx

Your information in your other postings are conflicting with this one on Permelia.

It appears this family was:
Robert and Nancy Price:
-Hansford Price and Permelia (Amelia) was this "Brinkman"?
--Rose McDougal.

You also posted this search in the Yakima County board for Washington State. Is there a reason you are looking in this area for this family?

Re: George and Lucy Jane Burlingame

LGooding184 — 2009-06-09 18:18:05Z

Hello,
I tried finding Lucy in the Yakima paper. But I couldn't find anything. That doesn't mean that her obituary isn't in there. Back in those days, the papers were not very well organized.
However, There is a free site called the Family Search Record - http://search.labs.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#...

When I got on there - I found the following:

William Burlingame and Lucy Jane Holvenstat had two children:
Jennie Belle Kimble - died Mar 2, 1932 at Medical Lake, Spokane, WA -- born in 1874.

Charles W. Burlingame died Nov 19, 1958 in Yakima, WA. Was born in 1869.

I don't know if George also goes by William

Re: George L. Madison

amandahatten1 — 2009-06-07 19:42:15Z

Well if the death index states that his last residence was in Idaho, I would post this question to the Washington County, Idaho board.

I'll see if I can find the obit. for Emma Carlson today.

Re: Emma C Carlson

amandahatten1 — 2009-06-11 21:35:56Z

I have her obituary here with me, along with her husband Albin's obituary. I'm having problems with my scanner so I will post their obituaries and some index cards from the library when it's working again. For now I will type it:

Emma C. Carlson
(Keith & Keith Funeral Home)

Mrs. Emma C. Carlson, 84, of Route 5, Box 273, died Thursday in Yakima Valley Memorial Hospital.
She was born Oct. 3, 1895, in Ivanhoe, Minn., to Mr. and Mrs. August Lovestrand. She was raised and educated there. On Oct. 16, 1910, she moved with her family to Yakima. She married Albin F. Carlson in December 1916. Mrs. Carlson was a member of Wiley Heights Covenant Church and The Covenant Women.
Survivors include two sons, Marvin (Bob) Carlson and Russell Carlson, both of Yakima; a daughter, Mrs. Doris Kelly of Yakima; two sisters, Mrs. Ellen Lee of Longmont, Colo., and Mrs. Olga Lawrie of Yakima; six grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.
Her husband died Jan. 26, 1974.

The index cards I have are a bit confusing, but from what I can gather, Emma's father August Lovestrand was born Sept. 12, 1863 in Sweden and died Dec. 29, 1923 in Yakima, buried in the Tahoma Cemetery. It states that August is the son of 'David Donaldson', who was born in Sweden and 'Christina Lovestrand', who was also born in Sweden.

I'll call Shaw & Sons Funeral Home, which is who took care of the arrangements for August Lovestrand and see if I can't sort out these other names on the index. The index has the names Nannie, Mary Louise, and Fritz J. Lovestrand, but does not say how they are related to August. Do you know who these people are?

Nannie was born Oct. 26, 1856 and died Feb. 14, 1913.
Mary Louise was born Dec. 27, 1861 and died Oct. 14, 1948.
Fritz J. died Sept. 1, 1947, age 48.
All of them were also buried in the Tahoma Cemetery.

Re: George and Lucy Jane Burlingame

amandahatten1 — 2009-06-11 20:37:52Z

I'm not finding Lucy Burlingame's husband as George. It says William. I have her obit. here with me but my scanner is being a pain and not working right now. I have some index cards that I copied from the library and one reads: Lucy J. wife of William Burlingame
died Aug 28, 1899
Dodge Center Minn.

Now this was contributed by a Clarence Burlingame and the person's writing is not clear on the "Dodge Center Minn." So that's what it looks like it says to me. Also, I'm not sure if that death date is for Lucy or William since the wording sounds like it's meant for Lucy, but I'm pretty sure it's William's death date.

Her obit. doesn't state her husband's name, it only states that she leaves to survive her four children, Uriah S. and Charles W. Burlingame, Mrs. Edgar S. Hammond, and Mrs. James B. Kimble, all of Yakima.

A different index card that I have on her states she was born July 7, 1835 and died May 6, 1921, and that her father was John 'Halverstat', who was born in N.Y.

I have index cards on her two daughters:

Eunice A., married Edgar S. Hammond. Eunice died July 30, 1931 age 74, and was born Sept. 1856 in Wisconsin. It says that her father, William Burlingame was born in N.Y. and her mother 'Lucie Jane Holvenstock' (alternate spelling??) was born in Wisconsin. Her husband, Edgar, died April 19, 1941 age 81. They are both buried in the Tahoma Cemetery.

Jennie Belle married Eugene E. (different that what the obituary states...???). Jennie Belle died March 2, 1932, age 58 (it gives a different death date on here as February 3, 1932...maybe they messed up and meant for it to be March 3 as the burial date). She was born November 16, 1874 in Wisconsin. Her father, William Burlingame, was born in N.Y. and her mother Lucy Jane 'Halvenstitt' (another alternate spelling?) was born in N.Y. Her husband, Eugene died Aug. 11, 1948 age 76.

It also mentions a Gerald Leroy Kimble that was born Aug. 19, 1894 and died Dec. 21, 1909, but does not say how they are related. Maybe this was their son? They were all buried in the Tahoma Cemetery.

I will call Tahoma Cemetery, and see if I can't pull up some more information. When I get my annoying scanner to start working again I will post copies of the index cards and the obituary. I will type her full obit. for you now though:

Yakima Daily Republic Friday, May 6 1921
Page 3, Column 3

Mrs. Lucy Burlingame

Mrs. Lucy Burlingame, age 85, died this morning at her home on Twenty-fifth avenue and Tieton Drive. Mrs. Burlingame has made her home in this city for 13 years. She leaves to survive her four children, Uriah S. and Charles W. Burlingame, Mrs. Edgar S. Hammond, and Mrs. James B. Kimble, all of Yakima. Funeral services will be held Saturday at 3 o'clock from the Baptist Mission church. Interment will be in the Tahoma Cemetery.

If you want to give me more information on George Burlingame that would be helpful.

Re: Willing to do Lookups

amandahatten1 — 2009-04-16 00:47:57Z

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.

I searched in www.ancestry.com, FamilySearch, http://pilot.familysearch.org/ and Washington Digital Archives, www.digitalarchives.wa.gov/ but didn't find anything else on them. FamilySearch and Washington Digital Archives are being built by volunteers but not completed yet.

I think there are two hypothesis for this family. One is that the parents or maybe all three died in Yakima County before 1907. In 1907 the State required all counties to keep copies of birth, marriage and death certs.

If that is the case, their death info will be on file with Yakima Co. You can contact the Yakima County Auditors Office, 509-574-1160 and ask them.

If they died 1907 to 1980 contact the WA State Center for Health Statistics, 360-236-4300.

If Fred died 1980 or later, contact the Yakima County Health District, 509-575-4040 or 800-353-5016.

The other hypothessis is that they moved out of state.

Hopefully they can look it up by your great grandfather's name.

Thank you for posting this information. How are you related to the family? Is there a way I can have copies of the photographs?

I do have copies of both Judith and John's obituaries, though I do not have copies of Jack Morgan's obit. Judith and John actually had 6 children: Martha, Essie Mae, Elsie Chloe, George, Charles, and Gerald. Judith's parents are Abraham and Margaret (nee Crews) Eglin, while John Henry's parents are Frederick and Magadelina (nee Jessberger) Dittentholer/Dettenthaler.

I do have quite a bit of information since my original posting, but am always looking for more. I'm especially looking for photographs.

Re: Dittentholer, Eglin, Crews

jackmccallum — 2009-02-02 20:36:17Z

Excellent! I'll send you what I have via email (my email is MacChaluim@comcast.net). I don't have any photographs of the Eglins, but I do have a few of the Dittentholers and I would be more than happy to identify some people for you. Unfortunately, I don't have any information about Jack Morgan, except that he was a neighbor of the John Henry and Judith's.

While I don't have any Eglin photographs, I do have a lot of Eglin information. I've been lucky enough, over the years, to have connected with many Eglin cousins who've been very generous with their information.

How I'm related in all this is Judith Eglin is my great, great grandmother.

RBestrom7380 — 2009-02-22 23:18:10Z

I did some additional research, you may have already have or had done this.

The 1910 census was enumerated on May, 6-7, 1910. If Lavern was born 1 7/12 from that date, he would have been born about late Sep/early October 1908. I have found this method of search quite successful in the past. Although there are those ocassions where the enumerator can't add.
--The 1920 Census was enumbered 9th February, Lavern was 10. So, this is either a math problem or is that 7 a 1?
--Harold born 2 2/12, would have been born about Late Feb/Early March 1908?

http://abish.byui.edu/specialCollections/westernStates/searc...
shows a Laverne A. Cooper marriage in Ada County, Idaho (Boise area) to an Esther Louise Ward on 15 January 1931. This is recorded in Volume 22, page 484.
--A family tree osted by Kayfern521, shows an Esther Louise Ward born 15 Jan 1913, in Idaho, died 11 Dec 1999 in Boise, Ada Co. If this is the woman that married, she would have married on her 18th birthday. No other information on this person is shown. I sent a message through the service for this person to read this thread.
*** Another family tree from SJShareJones shows this person as being married to Lavern Cooper, born 1 April 1909 and died 12 April 1975. This "could" be him, unless you have already eliminated this person. I sent a message for this person to read this thread and help if possible. His parents weren't shown. After he died, she married a Phil R. Shelly. She and Lavern Cooper had one daughter and two sons, "living".

Other info:
I found a family tree showing Jess Everett Harper, born 3 February 1892 in Craig, Holt County, Missouri. He died 16 Sep 1956 in Los Angeles, CA. He married on 2 Sep 1919 in Jerome, Idaho. He married Gertrude E. Ashenfelter, she died 29 Sep 1968 in LA. Son's Roy, born about 1920 and Merle about 1922
--Another tree, owned by "cdkron" has him identified as Jass Harper in the 1920 census, in 1930 he was living in San Gabriel, LA Co. Roy was Roy D. Harper, born Idaho. Merle was born CA. Under his parents, it shows both unknown, his mother was "Unknown Scott". No siblings identified. I sent a message through the service for this person to read this thread and help if possible.
--Charlie Kron answered by message.

A family tree showing George William Harper, owned by harperj11, shows his birth of 14 August 1881, death 2 Sept 1951 in Los Gatos, Santa Clara Co, CA. He married Elsie Norris and had sons Everett Glenn Harper and Lavon Samuel Harper, daughters Wilda 1908 and Wanda. Lavon Samuel Harper was born 29 Oct 1910 in Vale, Oregon. Lavon died 27 Sep 1977 in Los Gatos. (I fully identified him as to the similarity of Lavon and Lavern, both born Oregon about the same time. In 1920, they lived in Jerome, Idaho). He married Marian Monning and had three children "Living".
--This person identified the children of Sarah and Simeon as George, Charles born 1875, Minnie born about 1877 in Missouri; and Cora born about 1879. So this person didn't know about any children after George; or hadn't posted them on the family tree. HarperJ11 is a 68 year old Truck Driver in Mounhouse, Nevada, had been on in the last month. I sent a message through the service for this person to read this thread and help if possible.

If you don't already have the above and the persons having Lavern A. Cooper in their family trees don't post or contact. I'd suggest attempts to obtain their obituaries. Then try to obtain any of the others.

Re: Obituary look-up please - COOPER 1955

RBestrom7380 — 2009-02-22 02:49:00Z

When I looked for James Cooper, I could not find him in the Washington Death Index. The Social Security Death Index is pretty much worthless for 1955. Without the death data, I couldn't identify his date or place of birth, or run any other checks on him. So, I limited my research to looking at the Few Cemeteries transcribed and potential obit locations. So, I don't have a clue if he was born 1935 or 1875.

Now, you've identified "Artencia" Harper as being his wife. I find nothing on an Artencia, it is not a common name at all. There were only 8 in the 1900 Census, 11 in 1910, 22 in 1920 and 28 in 1930. I did a search for any name beginning with "Arte" and it identified a spelling of "Artemesia". The 1900 census had 119 of these. In 1930, 22.

I found an Artemesia Barton, born 7 Oct 1914, died Nov 1982 in Colville, Washington.
The Washington Digital Archives:
http://www.digitalarchives.wa.gov/default.aspx
shows only one Artemesia. This one being an Artemesia G. Hooks. This site has has her marriage to Clarence Barton in Dec 1959. Actually, I grew up in Colville and actually knew Clarence Barton. He was a friend of my parents, as I wasn't born until 1950. (Now the World knows...). I do not remember the name of his wife. The image of this marriage shows this person as being born in Laurier, Washington. So, I doubt this is the correct person.

But, spelling of the name aside, bottom line, what do you know about YOUR Artencia ? Do you have her DOB, date of marriage? What about James, what was his date of birth. I wanted to look him up on the Washington Death Certificate Index; but it seems to be down for the last few days. Based on your comment in the last posting "I was hoping that the obituary might give me a clue on where to search for them next". This indicates that they were not together when he died? Could she have returned to her home (the Harper home or area where she lived) ?

What is the name of the missing son? When was he born and where?

Ron Bestrom

Re: Obituary look-up please - COOPER 1955

RBestrom7380 — 2009-02-21 08:16:05Z

Jeanette,
Let's analyze your facts:
1. He died in Benton County. Usually that doesn't mean much unless he had lived there for many years by himself. Sometimes a person lives with family during those last years, but the person is then buried with other family members or where they had their roots.
2. He was buried in the Mabton area. He had lived there and was buried there.

Why was he returned to Mabton for burial? Was his family there? Was he buried with family? Was there any other family members living when he died? How old was he when he died?

My questions relate to an obit. In the 1950's, obits had matured and were somewhat popular for the "common" man. But, as today, many obits are not published for the deceased. First, there might not be anyone in the family or friends that wouldn't know he died. Many children of the deceased did not/do not want to pay for an obituary. Obituaries are a charge item in the newspaper. Often a funeral home may write one and then have it placed in the newspaper as part of their costs. Otherwise, the family must pay. Another reason, the place of death/burial may be too far for an obit placed in a distant newspaper.

I guess, bottom line, did he have family, and did they pay for the obit.

http://www.secstate.wa.gov/library/microfilm.aspx
is a catalog of newspaper microfilms at the State Library. It shows the Mabton Chronicle did not publish after May 13, 1937. The Mabton Press did not publish until 1969. Or, at least that is the extent of the newspaper microfilm. There is a microfilm for the Sunnyside Sun, and the Grandview Herald for that year (1955).

But, by all means, do request an obit from the Washington State Library: Contact them at: http://www.secstate.wa.gov/library/ask.aspx .

But, if they do not find an obituary, one was probably not written.

13 May 2001 From NDiser3003.
Does anyone have a POLK BOOK of YAKIMA that could look up JOHNSON,George Axel or JOHNSON,Axel George he lived in Yakima around 1964 with his relatives John and Ina JOHNSON all I can remember is they lived west of the railroad tracks but do not remember the address or the street.can anyone help?

13 April 2002.
Looking for any information on a Axel George or George Axel Johnson born in Sweden and lived in Yakima with his nephew John and Ina Johnson.George proably died in the early to mid 1960.George was married to a Agnes L.Johnson who died in Seattle Wa. in 1960.George went to live in Yakima when is health started to decline in the early 1960s.Any help would be welcome.
Thank You
N.Disher

Now, the problem is his name, as you probably know. There are soooo many George Johnson/Johnston/Johanson, etc.

The Washington Death Index:
--George Johnson, died 24 December 1976 in Spokane, age 83 (born about 1893)
--George A, Johnson, died 11 Sep 1970 in Sunnyside. This is in the Yakima County...BUT, the Social Security Death Index has this person born 2 August 1916 in Wyoming.

-----Agnes Arnett---------
Perhaps you know if this is true or not. I find NO proof myself.

The Washington Archives http://www.digitalarchives.wa.gov/default.aspx
has a marriage on March 7, 1916, in Everett, between Malcom B. Arnett of Spokane, WA; and, Agnus Johnes of Vancouver, British Columbia.
Is this the Agnes Arnett that Axle married many years later?

I do not find Agnes in the Washington State or Social Security Death Indices, but that is not uncommon.

Since you have her date of death, have you obtained her obituary? That could identify more information.

An Ina M. Johnson died in Yakima on 10 June 1969. If this is the right person and your Axel George Johnson had outlived her, he might be identified in her obituary.

To obtain an obituary in Washington...for free:
The Washington State Library has a free research service, the ask-a-librarian program, where they will look for information in the archives, in this case the newspaper microfilm for an event, such as an obituary. They will look up to an hour and send you the results. Contact them at: http://www.secstate.wa.gov/library/ask.aspx .
--I would suggest you request, individually, an obit for Agnes, the above Ina, and the first identified George Johnson. Even the Agnes obit would help.

I don't know if you are the same person as the "NDiser3003" that had previously posted. Or, if the same person, if you received the Polk Directory information. Just finding this person in the Polks would help. That would confirm "Johnson" versus other spellings of that name. Having spent dozens of years in Scandinavian research, the last name spelling often changes over the years.

As a researcher, without additional information on your "George Axel/Axel George" Johnson, it is difficult to research. You may have other information on this person, which might help.

The City Directory (Polks) for Yakima for 1940 "should" have a cross reference by address. Someone could look up that address in the Polks. These Polks "might" be in the Yakima local library. I know the Seattle downtown library has them. I don't know when I'd be going up there in the future.

Re: Patrick Malloy(Molloy) from Sunnyside, Yakima, WA around 1930

RBestrom7380 — 2009-03-21 19:41:30Z

When you post an inquiry, it is very important to post additional information on family members. If a sibling can be found, they often lead to more information about the person being sought. For example, Mary, if she can be found in the US Census under her married name, it might identify more information, such as year of immigration, etc. The year of immigration is helpful to eliminate or confirm persons. Sometimes, siblings are found living with each other. Immigration papers also can identify information. If a place of immigration is found, it can lead to other data, marriage information, name changes, etc. A good many immigrants changed their names for many reasons. Some to avoid racist remarks, the Irish were not so welcome in some places. Also, a number of British, English, Irish, Scottish had immigrated into Canada before working south into the USA. Census records not only establish a name to a place, but also with the year of immigration and type of employment, spouse, children, etc. So, if you have the names of the other siblings, that may help in finding Patrick.

Family Search:
http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp
Patrick Malloy, born abt 1862, died before July 1965. father John Malloy, mother Catherine Brogan. Personal Information: 14 April 1931, Sunnyside, WA (Yakima County). Quit-Claim Indenture (Quit Claim Deed) of any interest in the Estate of his brother John Malloy. Submitter: Patricia Marie Grams. If that was you, this information should be put into your postings, as it would help.
--Per a family tree that I can't open (Entire Tree[4097] 123108), (This may be your tree, I don't know) John Malloy born about 1872 Ireland, died between March and Dec 1931 in Michigan, spouse Bridget.

This person matches some of the search criteria for the John Malloy above. This one was in Michigan, came from Ireland, about the right age and had a wife Bridget. There is no PROOF, but, I have used this method many times and eventually found proof of identity. If you have information on OTHER names used by this family, that would help.

The Bureau of Land Management Land Patent database for Homestead Act land purchase:

(Homestead Act:
http://www.legendsofamerica.com/AH-Homestead.html )
shows a Patrick Malloy obtaining 160 acres of land on 12/15/1883 in Whitman County. But, the 1900 Census shows a person by the same name as being born in Germany. But, the person born in Germany was born in 1812. I don't see a person of 73 obtaining 160 acres of land. So, it may be the same person, or another.

The Washington Census of 1892 shows a Patrick Malloy, age 26, born in Ireland, wife Sarah 32, born in Oregon. He was a comedian. The were living in Tacoma, Pierce Co, WA.

I could not find either an Ann, or a Patrick Malloy/Molloy that matched search criteria in the Washington Death Certificate Index.

Local Yakima volunteers: http://www.raogk.org/washingt4.htm READ the GUIDELINES FIRST. You can't ask more than one person for help at a time.

I'll muddle through some thoughts on this and come back to it. Again, any information on the siblings/parents might help.

Names of other family members and where they lived between 1938 and 1982?

You can find Virgil's death date and the place he last received Social Security benefits here:

http://ssdi.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/ssdi.cgi

It shows he died August 29, 2001, and received benefits in Shady Cove, Jackson County, Oregon. You can post a query on the Jackson County, OR, bulletin board, or you may find information on the volunteer-run Jackson County genweb site:

I already checked www.findagrave.com and didn't find him.

Re: Who was Bell Thompson?

reneeetaylor — 2009-03-19 15:07:07Z

I located the marriage certificate from Bell and Adeline on line, as well as have a copy of WJ Thornton's obit where he died after returning to Arkansas (he died in 2003), listing Adeline as his wife along with children Darlene Shugart and Dannie Thompson.
Family members here have told me they welcomed WJ "Bell" back home, but received VERY little information on his activities from the time he left for the war until his return.

Who was Bell Thompson?

reneeetaylor — 2009-03-19 15:04:19Z

I am working on the family history for our Smith family in Arkansas and have come across a mystery.
In 1943, William J. Thornton left Bradley County, Arkansas, to serve in the Navy in WW2. He trained in San Diego and served in the South Pacific. WJ only returned home on one or two furloughs and was not heard from again - the family thinking he was dead - until the early 1990s, when he returned to Bradley County unexpectedly.
Apparently, WJ had been living all those years in Yakima, Washington, as Bell Thompson. "Bell" married Adeline Campbell on May 1, 1950 in Yakima and worked for 34 years as a truck driver for Weyerhauser. He claimed he had amnesia all those years.
I am trying to locate those missing years between 1945 - the war's end - and approximately 1990 - when he suddenly remembered he was WJ Thornton from Bradley County, Arkansas, not Bell Thompson from Yakima, Washington. When and how was his identity changed from WJ Thornton, US Navy coxswain from Arkansas, to Bell Thompson, family man and truck driver?
What happened to cause the amnesia? Was it really amnesia or did he intentially change his identity after the war?
Any ideas, links or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

jpscott135 — 2008-11-13 03:49:00Z

To follow up on this, someone did look this up for which I am greatly appreciative for. Below is the obituary if anyone is curious.

------------------------

Tuttle, William P., Yakima (WA) Herald Republic (April 6, 1981)

William P. Tuttle, 89, of Route 8, Box 697, died Saturday in St. Elizabeth Hospital.

He was born in Morland Ky. Mr. Tuttle was a graduate of the University of Kentucky where he played football and baseball. He was also a member of Alpha Tau Omega fraternity. He received a master's degree from Kansas State College.

He moved to Hawaii with his wife in 1920 where he was employed by the California Packing Co. on Oahu. He and his wife moved to Maui in 1932 where he became the manager of the newly formed Maui Pineapple Co. Mr. Tuttle was also chairman of the Maui County Police Commission for 20 years.

He moved to Yakima three weeks ago.

Mr. Tuttle is survived by his wife, Helen Tuttle of Yakima; two daughters, Mrs. Patrick (Sue) Walker of Yakima and Mrs. William (Polly) Metz of Reno, Nev.; a brother, Arthur A. Tuttle of Lexington, Ky; six grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren.

Obit Lookup Request - William P. Tuttle Died April 6, 1981

jpscott135 — 2008-11-08 15:50:33Z

Hi,

I would like to locate the obituary for a William P. Tuttle who died in Yakima April 6, 1981. He was born in Somerset Kentucky in 1892, went on to the University of Kentucky where he played football, baseball and basketball (and coached a little bit also).

http://www.bigbluehistory.net/bb/Statistics/Players/Tuttle_W...

http://www.bigbluehistory.net/bb/Statistics/Coaches/William_...

Later on he moved to Hawaii where according to my information he became either the vice president or president of the Maui Pineapple Company.

I figure with such an eventful life, he probably had an obituary published. I'm hoping that since he died in Yakima that there might be one there.

I can be reached at jpscott@hotmail.com

Thanks

I recieved your mail - My name is Jerry Harper. I don't know much about Artinsia Harper, only that she was born August 1883 in Oregon to Jacob Harper and Sarah E. Scott Harper. I haven't brought my ancestry.com files up to date. Jacob & Sarah had 8 children. My Grandfather George William b: 14 Aug. 1881, Holt, Mo., Charles E. b: 1875, Missouri ( Not much known about Charles ). Minnie Harper b: 14 Jan 1877, Holt, Mo., Cora b: 1879 Mo., Artinsia b: Above, Clyde E. b: 1886, Lone Rock, Oregon, Alice Martha b: 30 June 1888, Ore., Jesse E. b: 3 Feb 1893, Craig, Mo. All I know about Artinsia is that she died after 1900 and before 1951. Clyde E. was born in Oregon but moved to Jerome, Idaho and became a barber. He later moved to Washington where he raised his family and died there. Alice and Minnie married and moved to Los Angeles, Ca. Alice married a Pendergast and Minnie married an Adamson.
Jacob died young at 49 years, hence , the census with Sylvester Kings household. I believe you are right on with James Cooper, tho. My family had contact with some Blairs when I was young, although I don't remember much. I haven't pursued my great aunts or uncles much, Although when I was young I remember visits from Jessie, and Minnie. Hoped I helped some and my email is harperj1@sbcglobal.net.

I'm not so sure that Artensia Harper was the wife of James D.Cooper, after all. I found a listing from family search.org that says James Coopers wife was Artensia Culp, born about 1880, Missouri, This James Coopers birth was 24 October 1876 Mound City, Holt, Mo. Artensia was also from Mound City, Mo. according to that link. I'll search Culp for verification, just a hunch. Have a nice day--

Re: Obituary look-up please - COOPER 1955

Thanks Jeanette, I also have the same info as you, pertaining to Mothers name Harper, on the two Coopers death data. I just didn't know if you knew of Culp. Maybe Artenca had a previous marriage for a short time to someone named Culp. Who knows? Have a nice day --and Happy hunting ------

Hi there,
I am researching
Andrew Lawton BOOSA born 1877 in NY and died Yakima, Yakima July 8th 1953. He was first married to a Rose, but then married Jesse Vanderford. I would like her death if possible and a marriage for these two.
they had a duaghter, Juanita born Nov. 14, 1918 in King Washington. I have seen some family trees that suggest she was adopted. I have asked for the obit of Andrew from the university site. I received the death info of Andrew from the Washington digital archives but they don't show the original now.
any help would be appreciated.

I now have an obituary for James D. Cooper, but it doesn't mention his wife [which is what I was looking for]. His son Lavern was living in California in 1955. Thanks for all of the help that I received on this message board.

Re: Obituary look-up please - COOPER 1955

JeanetteinSC — 2009-02-24 14:59:57Z

I've now found Harold Oswald Cooper on familysearch.org. His mother is listed as "TINSEA HARPER". I still haven't found anything connecting her to her parents.

Re: Obituary look-up please - COOPER 1955

JeanetteinSC — 2009-02-24 14:00:25Z

I did not have a name for Virgil Cooper's mother [from the California death index]. Now I've found Virgil in the FamilySearch.org records. It lists his mother as "ARTINSA HARPER". It also has that he married Ellen Mamie Whitner in Yakima Co., WA. There isn't any other information there on Artinsa, but I need to go back and do some more searching. I feel pretty sure that this Artinsa is the daughter of Sarah (Scott) Harper, but I'm still looking for proof. Now to find out what happened to Artinsa and Sarah.

I really appreciate all of the help I've received.

Ron, Thank you for all of your help. I had all of that information already except for what you posted about Laverne. I had forgotten about the Idaho marriage search engine. I thought Laverne died before 1972, as he wasn't mentioned in his brother's obituary.

I would still like to get James Cooper's obituary, with hopes of more information.

Re: Obituary look-up please - COOPER 1955

JeanetteinSC — 2009-02-21 14:31:59Z

Thank you Ron for your help. I know that James Cooper's brother Robert, and their sister Jane BLAIR lived in Yakima Co. in 1950, as did James. I'm not really looking for information on the Cooper family, but on James' wife Artencia (HARPER) and one of their sons. I was hoping that the obituary might give me a clue on where to search for them next. I have information on 3 of his sons, just not the 4th one. I have requested an obituary look-up from the Washington State Library. I hope to here from them soon. Thank you again for your help.

James is buried in the Grandview Cemetery-

http://files.usgwarchives.org/wa/yakima/cemeteries/grandview...

I don't know if James and his wife Artencia were divorced or is she died before 1920 [as she was not in that census and he is listed as a widower]. I have found several people listed as widowed in other census, just to find out that they were divorced, not widowed. Artencia's mother and siblings all moved out of Missouri [Idaho, Washington, Oregon and California], so I don't think she went back to Missouri.

James Cooper's sons were:
Loyd Cooper 25 Dec 1901 Feb 1984 Lindsay, Tulare, California
[Virgil] - V. Cooper 9 Dec 1903 Mar 1972 Terra Bella, Tulare, California [Washington SS #]
Harold Cooper 15 Feb 1907 Jul 1980 Shasta Lake, Shasta, California

Lavern Cooper is the one I haven't found. I have obituaries for the 1st 3, but none of them give the names of their parents. Therefore, I can't say absolutely that they were James' sons. However, the obituaries do show that the 3 were brothers.

I would appreciate it if someone would look for an obituary for James Delany COOPER that died on April 27, 1955. He died in Benton Co. However, James lived in Mabton in 1950 and was buried in that area. I checked Benton Co. for his obit, but I didn't find one there. So I think his obituary was probably in Yakima Co. I'd really appreciate your help.

You need death dates for the rest of the family to find obituaries about them. I'd contact the Yakima Valley Genealogical Society, http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~wayvgs/ who does research and should have the Washington Death Index for Yakima.

After you find the death dates, you can request copies of their obituaries which should name the cemetery. You can request obituaries from the Washington State Library, www.secstate.wa.gov/library/ask.aspx who will search the newspaper microfilm for 60 minutes and reply with what they do or don't find.

After I receive the obituary which generally contain surviving family members, I use www.whitepages.com, www.zabasearch.com or www.privateeye.com to find current contact info.

You can also look at the following web sites for their graves:

You can request his obituary from the Washington State Library, www.secstate.wa.gov/library/ask.aspx . Generally I look up the exact death date and provide that but obviously I couldn't find.

When you checked for that obit did you contact the Washington State Library? They have on microfiche the obituaries from almost all of the newspapers in the state. Send them the inquiry, http://www.secstate.wa.gov/library/ask.aspx and they will search for 60 minutes at no charge & reply with what they do or don't have. Successful Searching!

Re: BOOSA - VANDERFORD FAMILIES

judyartley53 — 2008-12-08 04:03:10Z

Hi Barb, Andrew's death cert number was 13709. You can order a copy from the Center for Health Statistics; see www.doh.wa.gov/EHSPHL/CHS/cert.htm .

The death info for Andrew on the Mormon Church site shows his father as George Boosa. See http://pilot.familysearch.org/ which contains WA Death Index up to 1960.

On Sept. 12, 1918 Andrew filled out his World War I Draft Reg. card in Bryn Mayr, King Co., WA. He was born 12 Dec. 1877, Occupation-Lumbering, Seattle Mill & Logging Co., Seattle. Nearest RElative=Geo Boosa, Los Angeles, CA. Source: Ancestry.com, World War I Selective Service Draft Reg. cards, National ARchives & Records Admin. I can send this to you via email.

I think it's odd that his nearest relative was George when Juanita was born 14 Nov. 1918.

Juanita A. Boosa b. 14 Nov 1918, King Co., Father's Name=Andrew L. Boosa & Mother's Name=Jessie Vanderford. Source: WA Birth Index 1907-1919.

I didn't find anything for Rose or Jesse and didn't find any one of them on a Census.

I think the Seattle Genealogical Society might be able to help you with Rose's death and Jesse's marriage. See www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~waseags/ . They should also have Polk Directories for 1918 and 1919.

The Yakima Valley Genealogical Society, www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~wayvgs/ might also be able to help you with more info. Hopefully they will have Polk Directories before Andrew's death which will list his wife's name. Successful Searching!

Looking for any information on my 2nd Great-GrandUncle, Patrick Malloy, born about 1862 in Ireland (Donegal).

Thank you for all the information. As to my 595 posts - they are for various families, not just Leach. I have been researching my ancestry for over 25 yrs.

I never use switchboard, don't know where you got that idea.

When one posts a query one hopes to connect with a relative or descendant of that individual. That is my purpose. Using the internet and posts one hopes to connect.

I connected with a wonderful volunteer in the Yakima Historical Society about 3 years ago. She was able to provide me with some LEACH data and even took pictures of John and Martha's tombstones.

You went to a great deal of effort to obtain the information and please know it is greatly appreciated.

Does Washington have on-line birth records?
I don't know when or why they were in Washington: could be that is where she is from?

Just let me say that Roy Gosnell did not died under favorable conditions: (I don't want to be sued) I know how he died; but better not put it on the internet.

Roscoe Rhodes 1992 obituary needed

We are researching the family of Robert and Ruby (Montgomery) Rhodes and are trying to determine the locaion of their children. In 1920-30 census records, they lived in Yakima. Robert and Ruby had a son named Roscoe. The Social Security Death Indexes list the following: Roscoe R. Rhodes, SSN 534-09-1778 (Washington before 1951), born 25 Dec 1907; died 12 May 1992. Can anyone suggest how we might find an obituary for Roscoe if one exists?

An image of their 1933 wedding certificate is available online, through:
http://www.digitalarchives.wa.gov/default.aspx

The King County Recorder: http://www.metrokc.gov/recelec/records/
has an "Agreement providing for disposition of community property after death of one of the parties", signed by Jack Rae Fraser and Pauline R. Fraser, husband and wife, residing and domiciled at Seattle. Document signed on 5 July 1990, and was filed on 8/6/1996, after her death.

The County Recorder also has a Death Certificate filed the same date for Pauline. It was not scanned, but probably available through the County Recorder.

There were no recorded documents for land purchase, deeds, etc. Also, based on the signed agreement, they may not have had Wills, so a probate record might be located. For King County, the Superior Court handles:
http://www.kingcounty.gov/courts/SuperiorCourt/civil/exparte...
--I also would venture a "GUESS", based on my experience, but only MY guess, they had no children, OR, the agreement was just meant to prevent probate on the death of one party. This does NOT mean they did not HAVE property, only that any property records may have been pre-online records database.

Your next step would be request a possible obit on either. He "may" have paid to have one published; but, if he had no heirs/children, there might not be one for him. email/call:
The Washington State Library has a free research service, the ask-a-librarian program, where they will look for information in the archives, in this case the newspaper microfilm for an event, such as an obituary.

The World War One Draft Registration Card image database shows John H. Schuler born March 22, 1897, in Mountain City, Kansas. His father, not identified, was born in Lincoln, Illinois. John was working for Thomas J. Drunnheller in Walla Walla, WA. His nearest relative was Mary C. Schuler in White Swan, WA. He had light blue eyes and light hair. He registered as required on June 5, 1918, at the Local draft board for the County of Chelan, in Wenatchee.

The 1920 Census for Four Lakes, Spokane County, WA
John Schuler, age 57, born in Illinois to both parents born in Germany, farmer
Mary C. 51, born in Kansas to both parents born in Missouri
---John H, age 22, born in Kansas, farmer at home.
Boyd O, 17, born in Kansas
Katherine, 13, born in Washington
Pattie, 9, WA
Georgia, 7, WA

In 1930, John (Sr), Mary and Georgia were living at Four Lakes. Boyd and wife Margarite L were living in Spokane, he was a salesman for a dairy.

Mary C. Schuler died on 6 Nov 1939 in Colfax, Whitman County. Her parents were William Baker, mother "Stinson".

Georgia Brown, daughter of John Schuler and "Christina" Baker, died 14 January1958 in Spokane at age 45. I would suggest obtaining her obituary also, it might identify where her brother John was living at the time of her death.

I looked at the various websites for cemetery transcriptions. A "White Swan Methodist Cemetery" is listed, but not transcribed. I did look through the names of other cemeteries in the Yakima County area, without success. Other cemeteries listed for White Swan is the Yesmowit (Yemowat) and Saint Marys Cemetery, neither is transcribed.

The Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness has volunteers in the Yakima County area: http://www.raogk.com/washingt4.htm READ the guidelines first. No more than one researcher at a time. I'd suggest getting his obit from above FIRST.

And then they just want to bask in the glory of helping, when in fact that is the only life they have...

Here is the obit for the son of Buddie Wampole, son of George.

Buddy Richard Wampole
Yakima Herald-Republic (WA) - August 22, 2007
Valley Hills Funeral Home, Sunnyside

SUNNYSIDE - Buddy Richard Wampole fell asleep in death on August 15, 2007, at the age of 65, surrounded by his family in the home he had lovingly built with help from his family.

He was born on March 15, 1942 in Casper to Buddy B. and Rosie M Wampole . He moved to Warren, Michigan with his parents, and sister in 1943. Later, they moved to Chadron, Nebraska. They moved to Washington in 1947, living in Yakima, Kittitas and Ellensburg, where he started school. Later, they moved to Sunnyside, where he graduated with the class of 1960. After graduation, he drove truck for bee-keeper, Jim Bunch all over the Pacific Northwest.

He married Roberta Dilts in 1964 and they had one daughter, Jennifer Bridge and husband, John of Lake Stevens. Buddy and Bobbie moved to Seattle where he worked for Boeing for several years. In the mid 1960s Buddy became a fireman for Fire Dept., King County #1, Duwamish, and Tukwilla. He drove the medic wagon and was an E.M.T. for many years helping to restore life to many. For instance, on his way to work, he saw a jeep drive into a police car on a steep hill. He stopped, broke windows, pulling two officers to safety. He then went to the jeep and removed two passengers, as he could see the driver was already dead, probably from a heart attack. Both cars burst into flames. Buddy was a firefighter for 32 years.

Buddy loved the outdoors, building a two story log house in the middle of a forest outside of Monroe, WA. He loved the wildlife and animals. He and his brother loved to take their Harleys to Sturges, SD for the bike meet there. He made many friends, his whole family deeply loved him, a caring, loving man. We will miss the many happy hours spent with him.

Buddy fought Cancer the past 20 months. Many of the Firefighters he worked with, the Bikers he rode with, as well as Family members, and Congregation members came and spent time with him during his long struggle. He was able to attend Jehovah's Witnesses meetings by speaker phone, along with his wife, Bobbie, during his illness. Like many others, he had Hope of a resurrection.

Buddy Richard is survived by his wife of 43 years, Roberta Wampole , Daughter, Jennifer Bridge and her husband John, his Mother, Rosie Wampole , of Sunnyside, sister, Jacqueline and husband, Russell Hazen of Sunnyside, brother, Robert and wife Jackie of Granger, sister, Mary Radke of Lake Stevens and sister, Linda and Husband Mike Kyar of Greham, WA.

He was preceded in death by his brother, Kenneth Michael Wampole in 1992 and his Father, Buddy B. Wampole in 1996.

The Duwamish Fire Dept. is in charge of Memorial Services.

Re: Bio father

RBestrom7380 — 2008-07-30 04:21:28Z

I looked over your several postings re: your Bio father. It appears you first concentrated on a Curik, now it's a Harry Johnson. Are you just looking at boarders in the home? If so, this bio-father may not have had such relationship, but was a friend from outside of the home, a neighbor, classmate, incest, rape, etc. Or, yes, it could have been a boarder in the home, but only there for a week, month, or a few months, never knowing he became a father. You need to examine your search methods and perhaps take your problem to other methods.

For this search, if a harry Johnson happens to be found living at that address, what proof or methods of proof do you have to validate this person as the bio father? Do you still consider Curik?

Now, the Polk Directories DID have search by address in later years of publication, but the address sub-directory showed only the head of household, not listings of persons having that address. An individual check of the listings in alphabetical order would show those persons employed living at a certain address.

I could also suggest the Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness for a researcher to review public records, etc. BUT, there is no way of determining if an individual living in/around Yakima during the impregnation period was even there long enough for a public record. If you do request record searches, look also at Superior Court records for any cases that involved the mother, or her family. If she was underage at the time of pregnancy, her data might be expunged, but the Subject's name would be available. Look for any rape/statutory rape/incest cases. But, I doubt you will be lucky in this matter.

Re: Christina Gosnell

RBestrom7380 — 2008-02-27 20:29:51Z

Apparently there is more to the story.

Questions you need to answer for yourself, which might help you:

Did you obtain his obituary? I could not find one. I also couldn't find his death in records.

If you've also lost Roy's wife, the one in Naches "might" be her, born 1959. Do you have any idea why Roy was in Washington? Was he in the military, if so, Army base, Air Force Base? etc? If he and Christina were divorced, where?

Is there anyone in this family that knows his history, siblings, cousins, aunts/uncles, etc?

In his keepsakes when he died, any picture albums? Work history documents?

Genealogy research begins at the first point, his home. Otherwise, this daughter was born anywhere from say 1968 to 1996?

Good luck

You will be very lucky if an obit was written. They were not as popular as today. Unless they were notorious, rich or famous, most families did not pay for one.

But, try:
The Washington State Library has a free research service, the ask-a-librarian program, where they will look for information in the archives, in this case the newspaper microfilm for an event, such as an obituary. They will look up to an hour, sometimes more, and send you the results. Contact them at: http://www.secstate.wa.gov/library/ask.aspx . Depending on the amount of requests, it could take up to a couple of weeks.

Since you've shown you have access to the US Census, I didn't do any further research. It appears your post was only for those "potential" family members in Yakima, and not for a researcher. Since most of this family are probably not in Yakima, you'll be lucky to find someone in this manner. I went to your postings and found you had some 595, so I didn't look to see where else you may have posted.

IF you have a particular member of this family found in the 1930 census or before, those members, or children can be found. There are methods to find females married names also using the census.

The use of "Switchboard.com" is very unprofessional. A true genealogist could use it IF a full name was found on a recent obituary. But, to suggest sending a letter to every person named Leach/Cook/Trayner/Carpenter/Truitt/Thompson in Washington, or even in Yakima County, even after this family hadn't been found there since 1930 is ridiculous.

Harold,
When you post an inquiry, you will have to post enough information on the people you seek in order for a researcher to look for the correct people.

When/where was Roy Gosnell born? Where did he live, who was his wife? There are 18 Roy Gosnell in the 1930 census, none in Washington State. There are 14 in the Social Security Death Index, none with death in Washington.

If you have no information on Roy, where and when was Christina born?

I do find one out of the hundreds, living in WA, Christina S. Gosnell, age 48 at 11701 Old Naches Hwy, Naches, WA 98937. She "may" be the one you seek.

I see you have already gotten all the standard census information on this family. You have the death dates of Leroy and Edith May...and her family tree. You have the daughter, Eileen Edith (Taylor), her marriage to John O'Connor and her death in Sunnyside.

Most of the people that would find your posting would be researchers, or perhaps you'll get lucky and someone that knew them will actually find the posting, but this is rare. Some researchers have Ancestry.com and have enough skills to do the census work.

The other "suggestions" won't work unless you know the name, etc. As far as an obituary, back in 1932, obituaries were NOT common. You "might" find a death notice, but they were not much more than an advertisement for the funeral home.

What you NEED is someone in Yakima to do some research for you. Try the Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness, read the rules (you can't write to more than one at a time), some can charge for mileage or copies, etc.

If you have not obtained their obituaries, the burial place is sometimes identified.

For an obituary:

They will look up to an hour and send you the results. Contact them at: http://www.secstate.wa.gov/library/ask.aspx . Depending on the amount of requests, it could take up to a couple of weeks. Give them the name, the FULL date of death and place of death. If you believe there was a obituary, tell them where you believe it was published.

The Washington Death Index shows:
Mildred W. Foster, born about 1896, died on 8 Sep 1977 in Yakima.

The Social Security Death Index:
Louis Foster, born 9 July 1896, died March 1969. His Social Security Number 539-36-2782 was issued in Washington. His "last residence" was Tempe, Arizona. The last residence is not always where a person lived but where a final benefit, usually the death benefit was sent. Was he wintering in Arizona when he died?

Phyllis Frazer, born 1/22/1922, died December 1977, last Benefit in Lebanon, Linn County, Oregon; but not necessarily where she lived, or where she died. Was she buried with her parents or with a husband? Was she buried in Washington State or Oregon?

I find a family tree of a "ro_fleury" showing Louis Seward Foster and Mildred Kreamer Watts. Appears to be yours.

What you will have to do to request the obituaries is identify the full date of death.

As long as you're here though, do come over to the coast, see our Mount Rainier, Mount Saint Helens (the volcano that erupted May 18, 1980). Seattle is a tourist town, lots to see.

The Social Security Death Index shows a Paul Yeager born 16 December 1904, with "last residence" in Portland. The "last residence" is not always where the person lived but where the final benefit payment, usually the death payment was sent. So, he "could" have died anywhere but the payment sent to Portland to a person providing burial payment, a living spouse, etc.

Hello to all Lemay (LeMay) ancestors!
I am the daughter of John Merton Dobbin. He is the son of Leticia Bergeron. She is the daughter of Felicia Moussette. Felicia is the daughter of Michel Lemay. You can find him in the 1850 Minnesota Census living in Pigs Eye, later St Paul, Minnesota. He is married to Marie Pelagie Monfette. It was this generation that spread from Mendota, Minnesota after arriving from Canada in the 1820-30's.

If you want to see pictures of Lemay decendents, google Chad Senior and Victor Plata. Both of them are decendents of Michel Lemay and were Olympic Athletes in 2000 Sydney and 2004 Athens. Chad was Pentathlon and Victor was Triathlon. What are the odds of that? They trained at the Colordao Springs Training Center and didn't know that they were related. We found out in 2005 after a family reunion of Chads grandmother, a daughter of Felicia.

Re: Clapshaw

RBestrom7380 — 2007-12-12 01:18:46Z

I looked at your other postings (26), and you're not getting much help. This is inpart to the lack of information provided.

When you post an inquiry, you need to identify SPECFIC information. In this example all we know is Samuel and Mary Clapshaw came to the US in 1848, were in Wisconsin and Minnesota. So, we have no real clue who you seek.

Here is a site that gives some idea on how to post an inquiry. It is set for Norwegian Query's but has the same guidelines:
http://www.rootsweb.com/~wgnorway/good-queries.htm

Start with a recent person, such as your GG-Grandmother Mary Jane Boyer and John Clapshaw. Identify their names, where they lived, where they were born, their date of births, date of deaths, place of deaths, siblings, children. Look in the US Cense for them to identify more information. Try to learn who their parents were, then go back and search for information on them.

There are probably more research helpers that may read your inquiries than persons related. Slant your inquiries to specific names and places, and you'll get help. Just saying some Clapshaw's lived in the Yakima area probably won't get you anywhere. In the 1930 census for Yakima County, living in Learningberg, is Ida M, born 1886 in Minnesota, her son Norval, born 1908 and Edith born 1911. But, what is their relationship to you, is it a coincidence or are they related?

Re: F. X. LeMay

RBestrom7380 — 2007-12-11 21:01:51Z

> Brian looks very much like Xavier
If your Brian looks like Xavier, tell him it's time to shave.

No, I am not related. I am one of those people who research when others inquire. There are so many people looking for family on Rootsweb; but the chances an inquiry will be researched by someone like me is far greater than someone being in the same family finding it. Oh, yes, it happens. But, I have helped someone by giving additional information and someone that is related to THOSE people have jumped into it.

I found the picture in other postings on Rootsweb. The problem with this guy, his name is so common. As I mentioned about Ancestry.com's One World Tree, they have a database of family trees submitted by others. They then b l e n d those trees together. Thus, you will find him having children with a wife that was born 200 years before him. I suspect most are due to connections to his father (potential father), possibly a grandfather or other member in the same family having the same name.

> Brian's father has no notion of his LeMay line past Adolph, who was Xavier's son.

I would suggest that you begin your genealogy tree with Brian's father. Document everything on him, date of birth, place of birth, date of marrage, place, etc. Document any siblings and their data.

Then identify everything known about Adolph, date of birth, place of birth, dates of marriage, death, burial, places of those also. Document his spouse, everything known about her.

Then post a query on Adolph. That should lead to those connected to him. When I posted the information that I found, I used the data where this Xavier died in Yakima.

as I'm looking at One World Tree. It shows his first wife was born in 1740 and died in 1815, that's 18 years before he was born ! This collection has him married to 15 women. This record is based on 44 separate family tree's.

In the individual family tree's:
1. A Katie_Dotie had his birth and death dates, and picture. She showed one child, a Clara LeMay, 1858-1937.

2. A Jen Lopez had his birth and death place, married to Sara, no children.

3. A Jandmarni had his birth, marriage date, death date, married to Sara, son Joseph Adolphe Lemay, born 1860.

4. A Cmissdew158 had birth, death, marriage to Sara, four children: Joseph Adolphe, Joseph TT, Mara Philomene and Marie Malvia M.

These, showed his father as Francois Xavier Lemay, born 1803 in Quebec, Canada, died January 29, 1878 in Mendota, Ramsey County, Minnesota. Most showed his wife as Cecile Beaudet Lemay. There were many others that had this person identified in their family tree, but no son so named. IF Xavier's father is above, the family would have started in the US in Minnesota, after coming from Canada. If so, this family might be found in the 1870 census or 1880 census in Minnesota, maybe even the 1860.

I sent a request through Ancestry.com for these persons to read this thread and make whatever knowledge available. Of these 4, because they have the death date the same and in Yakima, perhaps they have a connection. Of all of the others, it is very possible that people are using One World Tree and its TERRIBLY inaccurate data and adding to their own trees; thus the snowball effect of wrong info.

So, again, I would suggest starting at Brians father, and going back one generation at a time and documenting ACCURATE and verifiable information. I would suggest using the connections in Yakima and Washington State that I provided in the first posting. If he died in Yakima, he may never have lived there, there might not be an obituary, but there should be a death certificate. Because this name and family data is SO very corrupted, be VERY careful as you identify information.

If you would identify the data on Adolph, his DOB, etc., He might be found in US Census, and living with his parents. That would verify him and identify his parents. If Brian's father was born before the 1930 census, that could identify him as being the son of Adolph, where they lived, then go back from there.

POW/MIA Korean War, Yakima Co. BROWN, POWELL, SHANKS,SOLOMAN

powmiadna — 2008-06-24 13:58:27Z

I am searching for the family of Four soldiers who was killed in the Korea War. When they entered service they gave Yakima County, Washington as their home of record.

Soldier: CHARLES ALEXANDER BROWN
Born: 1931 Black
Date of loss: November 30, 1050 KIA

Soldier: SAMUEL BLACK POWELL
Born: 1924 Caucasian
Date of loss: July 27, 1950 MIA

Soldier; ROBERT DICKSON SHANKS
Born: 1929 Caucasian
Date of loss: December 1,1950

Soldier: RICHARD WALDAMAR SOLOMAN
Born: 1929 Caucasian
Date of loss: December 1, 1950 POW

When the Korean War ended the enemy never returned or accounted for over 8,000 of our servicemen. They died in their hands. That was over 50 years ago. Since that time DNA has been perfected and also they are recovering remains in North Korea. Our government is obligated to return those remains to the proper family. DNA samples have been obtained from most of the families of these missing soldiers. For various reasons some families have not been located. There are 46 families from Washington that have not been located. There are four families from Yakima County that has not been located.

When the remains are recovered and identified they will be returned to the family for proper burial. I am just an old (76 years) Combat Veteran out of the Korean War and thankful that I did return. I consider this a very noble cause and I hope that you can help in some way to find these families. For more information on the project you may go to http://www.jpac.pacom.mil/. My part in the program is to match up the lost families with the proper agency.

I will be grateful for any assistance in locating these families.

Obits in Yakima County ways to get them

badhabitBabbitt — 2008-08-23 06:46:56Z

I am a member at the Yakima Genealogical Society. There we have 3x5 index cards and almost full page obits cataloged by last name. Volunteers clip obits from the Yakima newspaper copy them and glue them to the index cards then they are typed with a type writer and placed in the card catalog. I don't know for sure when they started doing this but they have a lot and are adding them all the time. The first week I was there I spent around 5.00 on copies for obits.

Another resource is do a google for the Yakima genealogical society. On the left side there is Tahoma cemetery. Almost every name of everyone burried there is on the list and their location. I do volunteer work taking photographs for people looking for loved ones on findagrave.com sometimes people also post obits on the memorial pages.

If you email me badhabitgsd at Q dot com (replace at for @ and dot for . ) I will do my best to find the obits for you. I try to get down there once a week and attend the monthly potlucks. If you would like an obit mailed to you I would also do that not for profit only to cover postage and copy costs.

Re: Taylor, Leroy (Roy) Curtis and Taylor, Edith May

judyartley26191 — 2008-02-12 04:31:58Z

Hi Sarah, I believe that Leo C. Taylor was Lewis C. Taylor living in 1900 with his family in Whitman, Grant Co., NE. Lewis, b. May 1869, MN, marr 11 yrs, stock raiser; wife Minnie, b. Jan. 1872, NE, had given birth to 4 children who were alive in 1900; May L., b. Sept. 1889, NE; Lester L, b. Feb. 1891, NE; Ralph b. Nov. 1893, ID and Leroy b. June 1899, NE.

Their next door neighbors were Jay & Sarah Taylor & family who might have been related.

In 1910 Lewis and family were still living in Whitman. However, on the Census his name is listed as Luzerne P. Taylor, b. MN, 40; wife Minnie, b. NE, 37; Mary, 20; Lester 19; Ralph 17 and Leroy 10.

Roy Curtis Taylor filled out his World War I Draft Reg. card Sept. 12, 1918. He was living in Bayard, Morrill, NE and was b. 9 June 1899. He was farming and his nearest relative was Edith Taylor, Bayard. He was medium height & weight w/ blue eyes & brown hair.

In 1920 Leroy C. Taylor was living in Lackey, Cherry Co., NE with is family. Leroy C., b. NE, 20, stock farm laborer, father b. MN and mother b. NE; Edith M., b. NE, 22 and Edith E., b. NE, 1 1/12th.

In 1920 Leroy's parents and brother Lester were living in Whitman, Grant Co., NE. Luzerne b. MN, 49, stock raiser; Minnie, b. MO, 47; Lester, b. NE, labor ranch stock raiser, 28 and Linniese, daughterlaw, b. IA, 31.

In 1930 Roy C. Taylor and family were living in Township 40, Washington Co., SD. Roy C., b. NE, 30, marr @ 19, general farm laborer, father b. MO & mother b. NE; Edith b. NE, 36, marr @ 20; Glenn, son, b. NE, 11; Leo C. Taylor, b. can't read Census, 60, marr @ 19; Maurie Taylor, b. can't read Census, 56, marr @ 16.

I also found Roy C. Taylor b. 9 June 1899 and d. 19 July 1993, Sunnyside, Yakima Co., WA. His soc. sec. # was assigned in SD before 1951. Source: Social Security Death Index which can be accessed at no charge.

A Roy C. Taylor d. 19 July 1993 @ Grandview, age=94, b. abt. 1899, residence=Sunnyside per death cert #25013. Source: WA Death Index.

You can request a copy of his obituary from the Secretary State, http://www.secstate.wa.gov/library/ask.aspx. I hope this mentions where he lived before he moved to WA as further proof the above and your Roy are the same person.

The 1930 Census is the most recent one available to the public, therefore, I don't know when they moved to WA.

I found his brother Ralph and family living in Whitman in 1920 and in 1930 in Douglas Grove, Custer Co., NE. Successful Hunting!

judyartley26191 — 2008-02-11 23:24:26Z

HI, there should be a death record since the state starting keeping them in 1907. However, you'll need the death cert # to order a copy. I'd suggest you contact the Yakima Valley Gen. Soc., www.rootsweb.com/~wayvgs and ask them to look up the death cert #. They will probably charge a small fee. They may also have other info about this grave since some genealogy societies keep track of who purchases the grave, headstone, etc.

Another suggestion is to hopefully find an obituary or death notice. Contact the Secretary of State, http://www.secstate.wa.gov/library/ask.aspx and provide them the info you have. They will search the newspaper microfilm for one hour for free & reply with what they find. You might want to wait until you have the death date. I don't know how they're indexes work.

Indexes of some of the Yakima County Cemeteries are on-line which might contain more info; USGenWeb Tombstone Project, www.rootsweb.com/~cemetery/washington/wa-yakima.htm; Cemeteries of Yakima County, www.rootsweb.com/~wayakima/yak-cem.html; Interment, http://interment.net/us/wa/yakima.htm.

Hi, I'm not related but like to help others solve their "brick walls". I tried to find male children of the couples listed and then them up to see if they died in WA. However, all seemed to have girls except for Cook which is too common of surname to be sure I found the correct person.

A John E. Leach died 20 Dec 1951, Bellingham, Whatcom Co, age=90, born abt. 1863 per death cert #23293. Source: WA Death Index.

You can contact the Washington State Library, http://www.secstate.wa.gov/library/ask.aspx and request a copy of his obituary. They will search the newspaper microfilm for any obit in the state for 30 minutes at no charge & reply with what they find.

If this is your John Leach, whereabouts of children and siblings should be listed. Then you can use www.switchboard.com for contact info. I did this before and sent out 12 letters and received four responses & two I was related too.

I'd do the same for John who died 1921 in Yakima and his wife Martha who died 1932 in Yakima.

You can also contact the Yakima Valley Gen. Soc., www.rootsweb.com/~wayvgs and see if they have of the Leach, Liggett, Churchill, or Cook family members in their City or County directories. Successful Hunting!

Check out Random Acts Genealogical Kindness, www.raogk.org, choose Washington, choose Yakima. Looks like there is a volunteer there who will look up his death date. There is a volunteer listed who will look up his obituary.

If that doesn't work out, contact Yakima Valley Genealogical Society, www.rootsweb.com/~wayvgs who should have the Yakima County deaths on microfilm. Successful Hunting!

BROWN, George M., obituary

Jeffrey_Elmer — 2007-12-18 06:04:52Z

The Goldendale Sentinel, Goldendale, WA., September 14, 1950, page 1

YAKIMAN TAKES OWN LIFE NEAR LYLE TUESDAY MORNING

Death by suicide and carbon monoxide gas claimed the life of George M. Brown, 60, of 312 S. 9th Ave., Yakima four miles east of Lyle. A hose, brought explicitly for the purpose was found extending from the exhaust pipe through the almost closed back window of the car, it was stated by Sheriff E.C. Kaiser, who was called to the scene.

Brown was discovered by Frank Armstrong of Boise, Idaho at 6 a.m. Sheriff Kaiser and Coroner Thurman Ward were notified a short time later and arrived at the scene about 7:30.

According to reports, the victim had just recovered from a major operation and had lost his mother a short time ago. Two suicide notes were left by his body, both asking forgiveness from his wife and 19 year old daughter.

The suicide was regarded as planned ahead of time because the hose still bore the ticket from the store in Yakima. He is survived by his widow and two children, one 19 and the other two years of age.

The body was brought to Phillips Funeral Home and was claimed by Mrs. Brown that afternoon and later taken to Yakima from where service and burial will be made.

This was posted for reference only. I am not related to, nor am I researching this family. If you have additional information about the family or event mentioned above, please post it as a reply to this message.

Rachel Isabel Mulholland Cramer

sallyq1955 — 2008-09-17 20:32:05Z

Rachel Isabel Mulholland was born in Yakima, Yakima County, Washington, 9 Sep 1901. She was the daughter of Olive Helms Mulholland. I am trying to find her father's name. She is a distant relation as her grandfather Reuben Helms and my great grandfather Silas Young Helms were brothers. Her father died before she and her mother moved to California. If I can find his name, I hope to also find his burial records in Yakima County. Isabel married Paul Brey Cramer in Los Angeles and they had no children. For them, it would be nice to have this information for the family tree.

Re: Rachel Isabel Mulholland Cramer

sallyq1955 — 2008-09-24 17:26:05Z

You are a darlin and a dear. I did find the Pennsylvania census and it is Elgin. I am almost 100% sure this is the husband for Olive. Just too much common data to discount.

Re: Rachel Isabel Mulholland Cramer

sallyq1955 — 2008-09-24 16:33:53Z

Beth,

Thank you so much for your information. I looked at the 1900 census and agree that I think it is our Olive Helms Mulholland. Her parents Reuben Helms and mother Isabella J Tremmer were both born in Illinois. Her husband El (looks like Elijah M to me) and his family was from Pennsylvania. So I will use your information to see other data I can find.I have Isabel Cramer's obit, but her parents names are not given. I still need to find a death or birth certificate for her. With you help, I just might find it!
Thanks again!!

Looking for relatives of the Clapshaw family that entered the U.S. from England in 1848. The family was headed by Samuel and Mary. I found them in Wisconsin in 1860 and in Minnesota in 1870 and 1875. Some of the family stayed in Minnesota, others in Washington Co., Oregon. I am given to understand some lived in the Yakima area. My second great grandmother Mary Jane Boyer married John Clapshaw. So, I am looking for cousins.

Re: Rachel Isabel Mulholland Cramer

bethrau1 — 2008-09-24 04:18:47Z

I believe I may have found Olive and her husband in the 1900 Colorado census; unfortunately, the husband's first name is written over and I can't read it well.

Olive gives her name as "Olive H." in census records, born Illinois (dates vary in the early 1870s). Rachel Isabel's parents' birth places are always given as father: Pennsylvania and mother: Illinois.

1900 Colorado Costilla County Zapato Precinct July 10-11

MULHOLLAND [transcription says Malholland, I read it as Mulholland] El... [may say Elj.. M?], head, born January 1872, age 28, married 0 years, born Pennsylvania, parents born PA, farm laborer.

MULHOLLAND, Olive H., wife, born Nov. 1872, age 27, 0 children, born Illinois, parents born IL.

-----------------------------

I wonder whether this is the Elgin Mc Mulholland [yes, middle name is given as "Mc"], born PA about 1872, son of Nathanial [spelling?] and Rachel in Oakdale, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. When I take another look at the 1900 census, it seems to fit. Olive's parents were in Iowa in 1900, and I don't find her in that state.

Do you have Olive's obit? Do you know where the rest of Olive's family was in the 1900 census? Please also keep in mind that Rachel Isabel's father might have died before she was born, in a different location.

Here is the link to the volunteer-run Yakima County genweb site, which lists cemeteries and other information:

http://wagenweb.org/yakima/

Do you have Rachel Isabel's birth certificate? It may list her father's first name: http://www.yakimacounty.us/Auditor/miscrecords.htm

http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~cocostil/resource.htm

I didn't find anything definitive for a marriage for Olive or for a death for her husband using online resources. I don't find anything that shows Olive and her daughter lived in Yakima. I think you first need to find Rachel Isabel's birth certificate, if you don't already have it.

looking for 1932 death or funeral records for "baby GOOD" in Zillah cem

Hello

I'm hoping someone can find death records or funeral records or the undertaker for "baby GOOD" who is buried in the Zillah cem. Her tombstone is in the "Baby" section and is only marked "baby GOOD 1932". The parents, or date of birth or death and sex are unknown. The burial is listed in the Zillah cemetery records, not in the baby section. My step-grandfather that raised me had a surname of "Good", but i don't know if it was his child.

gevans1940 — 2008-07-08 13:31:54Z

We've made a number of trips to Yakima from CA, but always think of something else we could check. If someone has access to the Polk directories, we are looking for a Harry Johnson that may have lived (as a boarder) at 803 N 2nd St. in Yakima in the 1930-1940's. Thanks

Re: Bio father

gevans1940 — 2008-07-30 14:13:19Z

Thanks for your info. We have done about 18 months of continuous investigating via DNA, travel, etc. It is such a long story I couldn't explain why we'd like to check out Johnson as a boarder. And, yes, Curik is still the most likely. There too, it is all circumstantial. Proof??? Well, that may never be possible due to the fact that all persons involved are deceased, but we keep on trying. At least at the age of 66 we were able to find that his "father" was not his bio father and that was a big deal.

We have made 3-4 trips to the Northwest over the past 18 months and have awesome help from people in WA & OR.

Thanks again for your suggestions.

Re: William D. Beck

LindaQueen378 — 2008-01-24 21:49:14Z

Check www.yakimamemory.org for photos of some of these folks. I am Linda Cook-Queen from this Cook line mentioned in this biography. Frances Cook was my Great Grandfather William's Sister. I think the child she had with Mr. Beck was named Lillian but she died. They divorced and Frances later married a Mr. Tustin ( had at least a son Lewis with him) and then later married a Mr. Lahar.
Any more info on the Cook's get ahold of me. I am trying to find some of them still. Like John E Cook and sisters, their father was Arthur or Alonzo in Yakima.

Hi, Katie

I'd like you to send me the picture at rhodes_g@bellsouth.net......the uploads are restricted in size, aren't they? My son would love a file big enough to print a pix to show his Dad.

He has been talking some to his Dad, and he remembers far more than I had ever imagined. Soon as Brian get's moved into his new house, we'll find what we might have to share with you.

Thanks,
Dorothy

Re: F. X. LeMay

Ron,

I am the mother of Brian LeMay above. The picture is amazing.....Brian looks very much like Xavier..as did his father and grandfather...it's the eyes that are so alike.

Are you related to Xavier? And greedy tho I am, I must ask, are there more of Xavier's family?

Brian's father has no notion of his LeMay line past Adolph, who was Xavier's son, so we are awash in our own little boat...and live in Georgia, far from Yakima!

Thanks so much for the pix. Would love to correspond with you.

Dorothy Rhodes rhodes_g@bellsouth.net

Re: F. X. LeMay

rhodesg2 — 2007-12-18 13:17:08Z

Yes, they were very devout. Still are.

Adolph's son Ernest Joseph m Mildred Olga Gustafson; my ex-husband Ernest Brian was their eldest son. He often talked of his Uncle Godfrey...he was Adolph's youngest.

Adolph lived in Yakima until the 1920's or so - but Olympia WA was the place my Ernie considered the LeMay hometown.

He said they took Adolph back to Yakima for burial, and that he remembers attending the funeral. I feel sure that one of the Catholic cemeteries in Yakima holds many of Francois Xavier's family. When I retire next year and have more time, I shall do some research in that area.

I tease my son that his LeMay tree goes straight up, for one sees certain families sticking together. I truly did not know that the French-Canadians were so involved in the settlement of the Northwestern US. I find it absolutely fascinating - for I am just a girl from the hills of Alabama who's lineage seems purely American - no immigrants since way before the Revolution.

Ernies's immediate family produce no Catholic sisters, but he had at least one aunt who was. Does it strike you that the LeMay family produced more women than men? Perhaps God intended it so.

My son is busy moving into a new house, but once settled, he is going to want to correspond with you. I hope you two will act as go-betweens and share your father's knowledge of the family.

Re: F. X. LeMay

rhodesg2 — 2007-12-13 13:12:29Z

Ron,

Thanks for the info.....I lived in Seattle during the winter of 1964, in Greenlake area of the North End. My son has visited only once since then. We both know how lovely the area is, and look forward to a vacation there in a few years.

His father lives here, but his aunts still live in the Edmonds area (I think that's right). I have a lot of info on his family, just not properly compiled. I expect the answer to a lot of my questions will be found in the various Catholic church records in Yakima, Olympia and in Clakamus(sp?) Oregon. The family were devout Catholics.

And yes, I think Brian has found some cousins!

Thanks
Dorothy

Re: F. X. LeMay

rhodesg2 — 2007-12-12 12:56:23Z

Thanks, Ron

I've done the things you suggest..just have to wait until I retire next year to do some personal sleuthing. I have found Xavier in the Federal and the Minnesota Territorial and State census. I have a pretty good idea who most of his children were.

Tho I have perused the internet trees to some length, I generally try to prove my data myself. I'll get there.

Brian does indeed look like Xavier, shaved or not. The eyes are amazing, and all of his LeMay family seem to have them. They are a lovely blue, with a curious upturn at the outer edge.

Thanks again
Dorothy

Katie
I would love the picture! But, more importantly I would love to correspond with you. I've done a good bit of research on Brian's LeMay line. His grandfather was Ernest Joseph, son of Adolph. Brian's father vaguely remembers attending Adolph's funeral, but seems uninterested in his family tree. However, he does respond to prodding (lol) and has siblings still living in the Seattle area. They'll help us, I think.

I've done all the things Ron said, and am far too wise to take anything at face value, and understand completely why you would focus on just your line. I'm just grateful folks put what they know online.

I shall retire soon, and Brian and I will go to Yakima, Mendota and possibly Quebec to see for ourselves. It is entirely possible, but not likely, that Xavier died while living with a child other than Adolph - for he was living in Oregon with his son Ernest J. in 1910. Would you email me at rhodes_g@bellsouth.net and carbon copy Brian at lemaybs@bellsouth.net?

Glad to find you.

Re: F. X. LeMay

terrylopez0331 — 2007-12-12 21:58:19Z

This is Jen Lopez' Mom. I posted Jen's known ancestors on ancestry.com. My father's mother was Laura Le May, who married William Lindekugel and lived in Yakima and Seattle. She died in Seattle in the early 1970's. My dad says that his grandfather's (Lauara Le May's father) name was Adolph. Adolph and his wife, my father's maternal grandparents, were alive and living with Laura in Yakima in 1933 aftr Laura's husband died. Laura had 10 children. The last living one is my Dad, Howard, now living with me in Kailua, Hawaii. Would love to keep up with all and find out more. Feel free to e-mail me!

Re: F. X. LeMay

terrylopez0331 — 2007-12-18 12:46:31Z

Dorothy, Laura Le May came from a devout Catholic family also, in Yakima and Seattle. Of her 10 children, 5 entered religous orders, including 3 Jesuits.

According to my dad the Le Mays in Yakima were also related to the Dufoe and the Menard (sp?) families of that same Yakima area. Dad says they were "all tangled together" those 3 families!

Dad also says that one of Adolph's brother's name was Godfrey.

Re: Emigrants from Wexford, Ireland

marytallan — 2007-12-04 10:18:38Z

Hi Linda,
Sorry for the delay in replying.

I believe you may well be right that the name Rickey wasn't Irish.

Unfortunately the name Rickey turned out to be too far distant from my direct family that I never found out where the name did come from. Originally it was a name given to me as being related to my grandmother's brother, but in actual fact it was his wife's sister's daughter's husband. So you can see why I don't know much about it.

The only thing I know is that they were living in Alaska.

Re: Elmer Collins

lyndaturner72 — 2007-12-04 03:52:46Z

Ron,

Thank you for your response and thoughtful reply. I did not want to put too much into the post, because I have been advised in the past to keep queries short and I did not want to divulge much information about living individuals. Actually, I know all the information about Retha Kinkade and Michael Collins, because Retha was my mother and Michael is my half brother. Susan is Mike's older sister, but they were not raised togehter and now have no contact with each other. My mother died in 2004, but I am still in contact with my brother although we live thousands of miles away from each other. He is the one who told me he used to have his birth certificate and that his father's name was Elmer David Collins. Although I have asked if he could order another birth certificate, he has not done so and so I am stuck. My brother has some health problems, so I wanted to try to find some information about his biological father. I am at a standstill without the information from the birth certificate, but I am hoping one day he may share it with me.

Two of my cousins were once photographed in the late 1940s by Mr. Collins, who they knew as Al. I don't believe my mother and he were actually married, because I can't find a marriage license in any of the obvious counties. She said she had to take the kids and leave in the early 50s, because Elmer had been an alcoholic and she was afraid for them. To my knowledge, Elmer never tried to contact my mother or the children after she left Yakima. My mother met my father and had me and other children; I never met Mr. Collins.

Betty Latta Kitchen is a very distant cousin of mine related through my mother, Retha Kinkade. All the information she posted is what I gave her. Michael's name is misspelled.

Thank you again for your thoughtful response. I will check out the site you supplied.

Then comes grandma, mom and me. That's the short version...I have the long version in my mother's brain. The Andrew Jackson Tigard family moved from Arkansas along with the Harer and McClendons.

I'm the third daughter of Harold George Holland born to Lonnie Webster Holland and Alice A. Webb in Hanford Ca. in Sept,1919. I've been trying to locate my Dad's family for some time. All he knew about his Father is his name and where he was born, as he left my grndmthr when my Dad was young. Lonnie W.Holland was born June 8,1890 and died in San Mateo, Ca. in 1974. I had met him only 1 time, he was re-married, and I believe he had 2 to 4 other sons. Maybe this is of the same family? I wish you luck!! Since I have not had any.

Vest - Yakima & Sela - Need info., on family from someone living in Yakmia.

2006-07-23 19:33:55Z

My Uncle, Zerry "Van" Vest was a retired army solider. When I visited them in 1958 he was stationed at the Yakima Firing Center and lived at Sela with his wife, Erika and three children, Linda, Steven and Cindy Vest. I have walked the streets of Sela and Yakmia with my Aunt Erika. She was born in Germany and had an accent. My uncle remarried after Erika died and owned a taveran in Yaknia with his second wife. If someone from Yakmia would please look up his obit for me, naming his children's married names and his second wife. Zerry Van Vest died Jan 19, 1981 in Yakmia. Thank you so much for your time.

Brouelettes & Smiths

2006-07-13 13:47:40Z

I am hoping someone can help me with my research.
I am looking at the following Brouelettes on the 1920 census for Yakima, Washington.
James C Brouelette, age 34, born Texas
Maria Brouelette, age 31, born Montana
Barbara Smith, age 55, born Canada (mother-in-law?)

On the same page I found the following Brouelettes (possibly the parents of James C.)
James Brouelette, age 54, born Virginia
Elisa J. ? .age 54, born Ohio

From the 1930 census for Aberdeen, Gray’s Harbor I have found
James C. Brouelette, age 45, born Texas
Marie M., age 41, born Montana
Margaret Smith, age 64, born Canada, mother-in-law.

I hope to determine that Barbara Smith was nee MacEwen and was the wife of Angus Smith. Marie Brouelette would have been Marie M Smith, daughter of Angus & Barbara.
Can anyone confirm my suspicion? Thank you for any help you can offer.

Thanks,

Buckingham's Shell Station

AJVogelpohl — 2007-04-23 21:00:01Z

Cyrus and Elizabeth/Betty COX BUCKINGHAM owned a Shell Gas Station during the 1930's and 1940's in Toppenish, Washington. I wonder if someone could look in an old directory and tell me what the address would have been. I remember visiting them (Betty was my grandfather's sister) as a small child. I have located their graves in the Zillah Cemetery, but would like to revisit where they lived, which was next door to the gas station.

My Data on this family:
Cyrus K. BUCKINGHAM born May 1869 in Devonshire, England
Elizabeth Frances COX born 1880 in Hawkins County, Tennessee
Cyrus and Elizabeth married 1904 in Oregon

Their son Clifford Blakewell BUCKINGHAM b 1906 and d 1952; he married Florence MARRS in 1934.

Their son Byron Burtrom BUCKINGHAM b 1908 and d 1974; he married Edith Lucille SNYDER and they had a son Edward BUCKINHAM born in 1936 and who died in 1988.

Is the above Edith/Edythe Lucille SNYDER BUCKINGHAM the same woman who married Horace J. SMITH of Toppenish in 1976?

Thank you in advance for any and all help.

Daughter of Dr. B.F.Gleason

Looking for Mrs. S. H. Nelson, daughter of Dr. B.F.Gleason of Randolph, Nebraska. Her first name is either Virginia or Georgebelle. I'm getting pieces of information from sources in Randolph and thought I would start a pre-liminary search request now and add to it as I get more. Don't know the husband's first name. I believe she may have come to Yakima, WA, in the 1930s or the 40s. Thanks for any help or advice to where to continue this search...

Re: ATCHISON & REUBEN BAIR: N. Yakima,WA (GLEED,too):

DSchuman15 — 2007-06-21 10:43:35Z

Thank You so much for your kindness in sending the information on my family members. This will be interesting to my father and his brothers, as their mother didnt' have any exact dates or etc., just some memories of some events that had happened when she had visited Washington when she was younger. Now that grandma is dead, my Dad has been trying to recall some of the dates, names and places.....and, he's nearing 80 himself. Are you related to any of the Barclay or Bair/Baer families? Again, thanks for your help. God bless!

ATCHISON & REUBEN BAIR: N. Yakima,WA (GLEED,too):

DSchuman15 — 2007-06-10 07:29:16Z

Searching for information on the families of Reuben Bair and of Atchison Bair, both living in north Yakima county, WA. I found their families listed in the 1910 Census for Yakima county, but couldn't find any further data. I also found a few photos in the county archives. Atchison Bair married an Allie Belle GLEED; I believe that they had met in Kansas, where Allie Belle was born, and then later moved on to Washington state, where their two daughters were born. Atchison is also the uncle to Reuben Bair, whose family is also found in the census records. I live in Washington state myself, but my family line is from PA and KS mainly. I would appreciate anyone who can look into recent census records, land records, etc., as I don't have the means to do so. Thank You!

PamTessier99 — 2007-11-12 11:38:11Z

Would anyone with access to the Calvary Cemetery tombstone transcriptions please look up the following names:
MARCHAND and LABISSONIERE?
Need confirmation of the burial of Louis Francois Vital MARCHAND buried 11 October 1908.
I have information on the early lives of these people, prior to their move to Washington, if anyone is interested.
Thank you very much,
Pam

Re: SARAH CRAWFORD of Mabton

lamron — 2006-12-04 18:43:55Z

Sarah Jane Taylor was born 2 Oct 1867 in Benton county, Oregon, died 20 Nov 1933, and is buried in the Mabton Cemetery -

Sarah married George Perry Crawford about 1885 in Benton county, Oregon - In the 1900 census she states that she had given birth to 11 children and all were living - Ten of them were listed in her household, the eldest son was listed by himself but next in the listing -

George was born 7 Feb 1861 Sioux City, Iowa, died 7 Dec 1929, and is buried in the Mabton Cemetery -

The only census that I've found her in BEFORE her marriage is the 1880 for Alsea, Benton county, Oregon - She, a sister, and 2 brothers are living with their uncle Nathan Taylor and his family -

Re: Related to Abigail and Cornelius RATHBONE

SHARI3 — 2007-10-27 15:58:21Z

Dear Judy---Just received notice of your reply to my post. Are you related to this family? This is so very exciting. I have a lot of info on this family of Abigail since it was printed in a Genealogy Magazine. Printing your reply for future reference. I was in Yakima in July, 2007 visiting my family who last year moved to that location. The high priority while there was to see the site of Abigail's grave. What joy I felt. But cemetery records were nil other than she was buried there Cemeteries were combined to make one. Now you have provided the info about her last days. My understanding was that Abigail after Cornelius died went to Yakima to live w/her children. I had hoped to find a living relative while there. I brought home the telephone book listing for one Rathbone family. Been busy since home so have not yet called that person. I have picures of the grave itself and the sign at the entrance to the cemetery.

Would love to hear from you again if you wish.

My E-Address is Jeannie Rathbone

Cornelius Taylor Rathbone was the gg grandfather of my children. After he died in ID Abigail (his 3rd wife)went to live in Yakima w/her chlidren. She is buried there. Abigail had a 1/2 sister named Helen Rathbone (his 2nd wife). Helen was the gg grandmother of my children. Would like to contact the children of Abigail to see if can solve some mysteries in this Rathbone family. Hoping to hear from someone. :)

Events That Touched Our Ancestors' Lives

Public Records

RBestrom7380 — 2007-04-24 04:53:49Z

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.

Re: Looking for a Herman family

RBestrom7380 — 2007-10-25 07:04:33Z

Gary (or his wife)
I've reviewed your postings from the past. It was suggested that you MUST provide information that you know. I understand that Gary (now 66) has father/step-father issues and has concerns in Yakima area. But, it is impossible for researchers to just identify a "Herman" family, or identify who is in a picture. There MUST be other information provided than the family name...and, speaking as a retired Federal Agent, there must be enough connection to these families for a true purpose to risk a connection. Most genealogists (that is TRUE genealogists, not just someone that tries to help and risks connections to the wrong families) will not answer these posts to protect themselves, as well as the families being sought.

So, provide information on exactly who you seek, with as much information as you have.

Hello to Germany.
I remember strongly my experiences there in 1987-1991 while living/working in the Rhein Main Air base near Frankfort. I was a civilian, not military. Loved Europe.

As far as Ask-a-librarian, some Internet servers put "//" in front of the email address link as a method to prevent Spam emails.

I would recommend you use the following instead:
http://www.secstate.wa.gov/library/ask.aspx

A person having him in their family tree on Ancestry.Com "Amageya114" identified his father as Corta Mitchell Edmondson 1867-1952 and Nettie Krauusgrille, 1974-1906.

Since you hadn't posted since August 2007, I'll not do any additional research

I went into your other postings to try to find additional information; but 591 postings were a bit to much.

Guide to posting:
http://www.rootsweb.com/~wgnorway/good-queries.htm
While set for Norwegian posting, the bulk is key. Give whatever information you know that will help a researcher.

By now you should know to post as much personal data and information as you can to aid the researcher. Their date of births and deaths might be unknown, but what do you know of their parents? Were Daniel and Claudia Stone born in 1950 or 1750? Where were they born? They died in Yakima, When?

I find 1930 Census for a Daniel "M" Stone in Seattle, born in Missouri, and death in 1946. I find a Connie "M" Stone, born 1965, died 2001 in Tacoma, WA.

Your input of additional reference data is key.

Re: Irma Jane Simonson - marriage/divorce

RBestrom7380 — 2007-10-27 01:59:39Z

Bill,
When you post an inquiry, it is so helpful to have as much information as you have for the researcher to properly seek records. Anything on birth dates, birth places, siblings, etc. would help. For this search, the names of her parents would have helped, where they lived.

In the 1930 Census for New Albany, Floyd County, Indiana, renting at 1517 Culbertson.
George A Simonson, age 33, born in New York
Goldie I, age 29?39? born in Indiana
George A, son, age 5, Indiana
Erma (as transcribed), J. Simonson, daughter age 2 11/12, born in Indiana. The census was enumerated on April 14th. So, she was "possibly" born in May 1927.
Betty Noble, age 64, mother-in-law, widow.

After finding the above, I found her identified as being the daughter of George A and Goldia I Noble. This was from your family tree posted on Family Tree Maker.
Your data indicates her father died before 1930 in New Albany, Indiana; but he is found in the census of 1930, enumerated April 1930.

George Junior, born 28 April 1924, died January 30, 1997 in Riverside, CA.
--The California Death Index verifies "George Albert Simonson", born 28 April 1924 in Indiana, died 30 January, 1997, death in Riverside, California. (The Riverside is the COUNTY, not one of the cities so named.
--The Social Security Death Index identifies his last residence to be in Banning, Riverside COUNTY, California

I had written everything below the ------ line (below), then realized that I had forgotten to look for Goldia. The Social Security Death Index shows her as born 13 April 1900, died 17 May 1997 in Yakima, WA. Her Social Security Number, 306-20-3118 was issued in Indiana. So, she was 97 when she died. Was she living with Erma? The VERY first thing you need to do is get Goldia's obituary.
---NO, No, forget that also... HERE is the VERY, VERY first thing you need to do.

Read the Obituary for Erma Jane:

Jane Simonson
Yakima Herald-Republic (WA)
January 9, 2006

Keith & Keith Funeral Home
YAKIMA - Jane Simonson, 78, of Yakima went to join her heavenly family on Monday, January 2, 2006. She was born in New Albany, IN on April 23, 1927 to George A. and Goldia Simonson. Shortly after graduating from LaPorte High School, LaPorte, IN in 1944, Jane and her parents moved to Yakima. Jane's career life included working at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation and Yakima Contact Lens along with working for Dr. Hood. She worked for Dr. Richard Vorenkamp for 27 years. After retirement, Jane worked for St. Joseph's School at the Mother Joseph Center with the kindergarten and preschool children.
Jane's greatest joys in life were her nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews. She also had the joy of cuddling her great-great nephew, Brady. Aunt Jane was instrumental in beginning the westward journey of her nieces and nephews from Indiana to Yakima in 1964 by offering room and board and an opportunity to attend YVCC.
She was preceded in death by her parents and her brother, George. She is survived by her nieces and nephews, Bruce (Suzi) Simonson of Yakima; Susan J. (Don) Gasseling, Cathy (Tom) Kehm, and Mary (Chuck) Adkins of Wapato; Beth (Colin) Ress of Hebron, CT; George Simonson of Las Vegas; Mark (Mele) Simonson of Scottsdale, AZ; Charles (Dona) Simonson of Laguna Niguel, CA; Steve (Fawnda) Simonson of Cashmere, WA; along with her cousin Nancy (Steve) Kono and their children, Elizabeth and Jason of Milton, WA. She is also survived by her great nieces and nephews Brad (Kelly) Gasseling; Brian Gasseling; Jeff Dorr; Chelsea and Joshua Adkins; Sarah (Max) Bender; Jaime, Ryan, and Robin Wade; Eric and Justine Ress; David and Michael Simonson; Andrew, Nicole and Ashley Simonson; and Shelby and Luke Simonson. She also leaves her great-great nieces and nephews, Brady, Ali, and Trevor.
The family would like to thank Dr. Judith Harvey, the nursing staff in the ICU and Cardiac Care Unit at Memorial Hospital, and the staff at Good Samaritan Health Care Center for their excellent and compassionate care.
A memorial mass will be held at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Yakima, Tuesday, January 10th at 10:00 a.m. Inurnment will be at Tahoma Cemetery at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Sister Rebecca Foundation or the Jesuits in care of Keith and Keith Funeral Home.
Section: Obituaries
Copyright, 2006, Yakima Herald-Republic.

-------------------------------
The first place for your research would be to obtain the obituary of George, Junior, in Banning, Riverside Co, CA. His obituary might identify the name or location of his sister. Banning is on I-10, South of San Bernardino, near the Morongo Indian Reservation. I find it has a newspaper, the Record-Gazette, 218 N. Murray Street, Banning, CA 92220, 951-849-4586. Its home page: http://www.recordgazette.net/ Sometimes newspapers have obituary archives back for years, but in this case, their archives are 14 days. Some libraries will send you an obituary for a fee or free.

The Banning Library: http://www.banninglibrarydistrict.org/ is located at 21 West Nicolet Street, Banning, CA 92220. Phone 951-849-3192. Contact them with a request for the obituary. Sometimes libraries do this for a small fee...or for free.

Now, as to Erma. You "know her to be married in 1949". Where was she in 1949. Is there any other family member that could identify WHERE she was married ? The place could be anywhere from Indiana to Washington State to California. Since you posted in Yakima County, WA, she lived there with her husband? You mention divorce or widowed, do you have knowledge of her being divorced or for some reason living on her own? ANY additional information could help.

I looked for databases for marriages in Indiana, found some but not for the possible years, AND, she or her family may have moved from Indiana long before her marriage.

Deborah:
The World War I Draft Registration Card image for Chester Duncan Barclay shows he was born July 9, 1891 (the year of birth are often wrong). It shows he was born in Ohio (city name), Illinois, USA.

As you noted this Chester Barclay was in North Yakima, Yakima County in the 1910 Census. He was shown as born in Illinois. I did not find the Atchison Bair on the same page.

Actually, it is very difficult to find members of the same families in this method. UNLESS you know that both are related and can support their relationship and the fact that they were in the same area. The best bet is to research the Bair Family until you find an Atchison then FULLY identify his date of birth, place of birth, place of marriage, place of death, etc. Then research the Barclay family doing the same. Just to ask, was any of the Barclay family located in Illinois, or to be specific, the town of Ohio? You're doing well, just keep researching.

Re: Otto Greer Allen - 1876-1943

RBestrom7380 — 2007-10-25 22:13:39Z

I read all of your other posts and see you are trying to find all of the family information of the children of William Alfred Allen (1837, Michigan or Canada) and Mary Elizabeth Patton (1837 in Virginia). This information greatly helped in verification process.

I did the background search for the family to get the basics and the WHERE born in order to prove/disprove

You indicated you had searched the US Census for this family, so, I won't elaborate what you had already found, except to note it here for archive purposes.

The 1885 Census for Franklin, Jackson County, Kansas.
William Allen, age 47, born in Canada, moved to Kansas from Michigan, had military service in Michigan, Company A
Mary E Allen, age 47, born in Virginia,
Edward? If a brother would have been here?
Mary Allen, 22, born in Michigan
George 16, Kansas
Ida 16 (Twins?), KA
Otto, 8, KA
Jesse 5, KA
Nellie 7, KA
Fay 2, KA

The 1900 Census for North, Labette County, Kansas
Allen, William A. born Jan 1838, age 62, born in Canada to father born in NY, mother in Canada
Mary E, born Aug 1837 in Virginia
Jessie G, born "Aug?" 1880, 20, born in Kansas.

---------------Otto-----------

The World War I Draft Registration Database shows Otto Greer Allen, age 42, born May 24, 1876, living at 1702 1/2 S. K. Street Tacoma, Pierce County, WA. He was a shipwright at the Tacoma Tide Flats. His nearest relative was Jessee G. Allen, in Wichita, Kansas. So, why did he not identify a brother "Edward", if Edward was "probably" living in Washington at that time. This is just a question, there was probably reasons of this, unless Edward was not in contact, was somewhere back east (Kansas/Oklahoma), etc.

The 1920 Census for Orchardvale, Yakima County, WA
Otto G. Allen, age 43 (He only aged 1 year since the WWI Draft registration?), born in Kansas.

The 1930 Census for Orchardvale, Yakima Co, WA
Otto G. Allen, 53, married at age 45, to Cecilia, age 45, born in Iowa. No Children.

Washington Death Index:
Otto G. Allen, died 9 March 1943.

--------Edward M. Allen--------
1910 Census for West Wenatchee, Chelan, CO, WA
E.M. Allen, born in Michigan to father born in Canada, mother in Virginia (confirmed)
Benteen, age 40, born in Kansas
Allen, age 11 (Allen Allen?) (born circa 1898/99) born in Oklahoma
Lillie, age 11, born in Kansas. (both 11, but born in two separate states?)

1920 Census for Tanwax, Pierce Co, WA. Edward and Benteen living alone.
1930 Census, living alone in S. Grandview, Yakima Co.

I spent more time in searching for the two children. I looked for ANY Lillie/Lily/etc born circa 1899, I then lookedd to see where her parents were born. I found none with father born in Michigan. I looked briefly for an "Allen Allen". I did find a Lillie Allen death in 1949 in the Tacoma, WA, Obituary listings; but no person of this name was found in the 1930 census.

The two children "could" have died between 1920 and 1930, which would require finding their names on the Washington Death Index between 1930 and 1940, when the online version becomes available. BUT, the online version is not complete either. I only found ONE person that died in Washington in 1961 in the online version.

I looked for ANY "Benteen/Bentine" living in 1900, without success. I looked for the Allen/Allan/Alan/Allon in the 1900 Census, without success. They just couldn't be found, at least by me in the 1900 census. I had hoped to find them in the 1900 census to learn more about the children.

I tried other websites, Washington, LDS, Heritage Quest, etc. No leads found.

Re: Washington Obituary

RBestrom7380 — 2007-10-25 04:09:25Z

You are facing two problems. First, if he had no family in the area in Oregon, there is a good chance there was no obituary written, as there would be no one to pay for it. Second, the Oregon "secreacy". They believe the iron curtain of information is in effect to protect family information. Again, I ask genealogists everywhere to fight these secreacy laws. Anyway, the death information is protected in Oregon.

But, there are researchers that look for obits. Try one of the Multnomah County persons here:

I checked www.internment.net but the cemetery wasn't listed.

I went to the Yakima County Genweb site:
http://www.rootsweb.com/~wayakima/ See Cemeteries.
It indicates the cemetery was transcribed in 1973, cemetery names onto cards held by the Yakima Valley Genealogical Society.
Under "Yakima County Reference and Lookup Volunteers" is found a Pat Mason. It also has a link to the Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness website.

Since LABISSONIERE is not a usual name, I ran it with my primary search engine:

with the word Yakima as a filter. There are a number of persons with that name living there now.

Shotgun? Where is there a marriage index? Or Divorce Index for that matter?

This current? You can obtain divorce records within the last year. They are public record. Bird shot missed.

Karen, Since you hadn't posted since January, you may have gotten a correct answer by now. A divorce is a domestic type case handled by the County Superior Court. Today, the state Superior Court name index is off line for some reason. But, that wouldn't help you find records that OLD.
Look at this page, under Domestic:
http://www.yakimacounty.us/clerk/web04/default.htm
You will see they are on microfilm. Contact the clerks office to see where the microfilm is located. You can probably order the microfilm through your local library, or perhaps the local LDS Family History Center.

Or, someone in the local area of the Superior Court could do the record check of the microfilm for you at the clerks office. Try a volunteer at:

Re: Mom where are you?

RBestrom7380 — 2007-11-27 23:59:22Z

As a retired federal agent with over 32 years of law enforcement...it is DANGEROUS to attempt to re-connect families in this manner. There are professionals that do this. They make sure that the one being sought WANTS to be found. They check criminal records of the one searching. They check mental health records, conduct interviews, determine reasons for reconnection. There are those that want to get even, harm, or otherwise ruin the life of the one being searched. The one being searched may not have identified previous children to current family and do not want the upheaval in their lives. Let PROFESSIONALS do this research and reconnection. Otherwise, the one being found just might take retribution out on you, law suits, or worse.

Genealogy is not domestic court research.

Brenda, do continue to attempt to find your family. They might want to find you. BUT, do it through the courts, through professional organizations. You just find find "mom" that has serious mental illness, criminal behavior, family members that are looking to get mom's inheritance and wouldn't want another person involved. For your OWN safety, go through a professional.

Re: Elmer Collins

RBestrom7380 — 2007-11-27 23:25:51Z

I found this posted family tree that included Elmer David Collins, 1st spouse of Retha Pearl Kindade, married about 1946. Susan Ann Collins, Michael David Collins (1st spouse died, 2nd spouse, a Laura (Magini) Oseka Collins).
http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~harringtonfamilies/Ki...
This tree was posted by Betty Latta Kitchen Kitchen2new@Earthlink.net
--Try to contact this Betty Kitchen, if you don't already have her ear.

Your posting (hidden in the Turner Family board) indicates your Elmer David Collins as being the same person. But, also known as "Al"? This posting was back in 2004. This additional information might be helpful if included in your recent posting. Try to put as much info you have in a post. Does the potential name of "Al", "Alvin", "Albert", etc. still have potential? Because of the name problem, I didn't do extensive research... Also, he COULD be still alive, the years are not improbable.

This Elmer David Collins, if he didn't own the photography shop, there might not be a connection to one. The City Directory may show a listing for Elmer, or anyone else named Collins that might indicate "photographer". It might show a spouse (Retha) and an address. But, that won't give you any information about this person. City Directory searches are good to find the name of a wife, or a child, or where they lived; but not to obtain personal information.

Are you in contact with the son, "Michale David", or for that matter of Susan? If, (or if not), try to obtain their birth certificates, that will show the name of the father and his age at the time (or in some states, his date-of-birth). That would be of more value than finding them in a city directory.

The above tree shows Retha was born in Black Diamond, King County, Washington. Her obit shows Mike (Laura) Collins to be living in Priest River, Idaho:
Michael D. Collins
1405 4th Street
Priest River, ID 83856
(208) 448-1962
Contact him to see if he has his birth certificate and ask what information is shown for the father. If he doesn't have it, ask if he could get it. (I hope if you don't know each other that you first discuss your relationship and why you're seeking for this information.

Based on this family tree, where they lived, etc. I wouldn't waste too much time, or ANY money looking in Yakima. Instead of giving money to someone in a genealogical society that might not look, take your money and say nothing found. Try a local volunteer: http://www.raogk.org/washingt4.htm has one volunteer that does records.

Otherwise, post more information, AND MORE OFTEN, on this board, the mailing list; also, the King County board.

Genealogy is nothing more than common sense. Just think, if I can't find info one way how else could I find it.

RBestrom7380 — 2007-11-27 22:28:16Z

A large percentage of persons looking for their family do post on other message boards, mailing lists, other genealogy systems.

Most good experienced researchers look for those other postings first to see what has already been found; and also find other known information that wasn't posted.

Most experienced researchers don't look back to work on postings that are seven months old...or older. This is more often or not a waste of time as the information has been found by the researcher, found by someone else and forwarded off the system, or the person has no further interest in finding the information. I've helped others where they say, "my husband's family...", only to learn after the big "D", they aren't interested. Some posters have even died.

No, it is far easier to just look yourself than try to educate ALL the people posting. Plus, you might learn something.

Brian,
I see this is your first posting on Rootsweb, at least in this name. When you post an inquiry, it is VERY important to give volunteer researchers enough information to find a person quickly. In this case, his date of birth, full date of death, would be enough. But, it is also helpful to have the place of birth, spouse, siblings, parents, any additional information. This is ESPECIALLY helpful when you ask to find John Smith. Also post what information you already have.

Do you have a picture of him? Or contact with any other family members that have information on him?

I've attached a photo.

He was born Sept 7, 1833 in Lotbinière, Nicolet, Quebec, Canada to Francois Xavier Lemay 1803-1878 and Cecile Beaudet 1807-1886. He died on 4 May 1926 in Yakima. He was married to Sara Hamel and according to the Ancestry ONe World Tree, he had 15 spouses. Children were also many. One World Tree takes every family tree given by persons and joins them, in this case 44 different trees, all having his name, and then just joins any other data... So the results can not be accurate.

You can waste your time by going through the cemetery listings as provided. You might get lucky, I doubt it. First, not all of the cemeteries have been transcribed. Second, he did not appear in the 1920 census for Washington, so upon death, his remains may have been sent elsewhere.

I would suggest:

1. With the above date of birth, known name and known place of death, try to obtain an obituary via:
http://www.secstate.wa.gov/library/ask.aspx The WA State Library will search newspaper archives for up to one hour and send you the results for free. BUT, this also could be a waste of time, as he may not have had any relatives there, or that would pay for an obituary. Back in 1926, obit's were not as common. But, it will only take you a few minutes to request it. IF published, it might give family names, where he was buried, etc. If there was a general death announcement, it might have the funeral company name, or cemetery identified.

2. The Yakima County Genealogy site has lookup volunteers:
http://www.rootsweb.com/~wayakima/

3. The Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness
This link: http://www.raogk.com/washingt4.htm is set to Yakima County, read the guidelines and send an email to ONE of the researchers for help. They are local.

Here is the gravesite for William and Flossie:
http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/wa/yakima/cemeteries/zi...

I can see why they were in Yakima, it has a climate more like Oklahoma than most of the State. But, since they both died in Pend Oreille County, then buried in Yakima. They may have been living with a family member.

Also note there is a Paul L Thompson buried there also. It could be a coincidence, this person was born in 1900. So he would not be a child of William, but a brother? You may know the family tree.

I've set the RAOGK volunteer page now to Yakima County:
http://www.raogk.org/washingt4.htm One of these people might obtain a photograph of the tombstone of these people for you.

I would recommend you attempt to obtain their obituaries, and use:
http://www.secstate.wa.gov/library/ask.aspx
Give their names, date of deaths, place of deaths AND where they are buried. Since the workers only search for UP to an hour, just do one person at a time. Because if they search for an hour on William, they might not do Flossie.

I found your family tree online, so it appears there are very few in your family, at least back to Grandfather Ray. You had posted on the Yakima, Washington Rootsweb page. Are any of your known family in Washington State? I would suggest that you start in Whittier, CA. Look for local records there. Whittier is in Los Angeles County, which you probably knew but I didn't. I try to stay away from California.

The Washington Death Index shows the place of death, it has NOTHING to do with any last benefit check, THAT is the Social Security Death Index. The "last residence" on the Social Security Death Index is not always where they lived but where a final benefit check was mailed. Most often it is the "death benefit" (currently about $255.00). It is sent to a surviving spouse or to a person that paid for a burial, sometimes a government agency or funeral home.

> 441-07-7188 [odd same as her husband but that IS what the index shows]
Once you've been doing genealogy for a while, you'll see this is common. The SSN is taken by family members from a document, often a Social Security benefit letter, etc., when it fact it belongs to the person having the benefit entitlement.

The County is "Pend Oreille", not "Pen" or O'Reille.

Reba, I'm sorry for patronyzing you if you already have this census, but additionally,
The 1930 Census for St. Louis, Pottawatomie Co. was enumerated on April 23rd. William R, son, was shown as being 1 7/12 in age. So, he was "possibly" born in September/October 1928, "IF" the enumerator was accurate. If REALLY accurate anywhere from August 23rd to September 22nd. I've used this system and it shows up correct a good majority of the time.
William R, Senior was 23, born circa 1906/1907
Flossie E, was 21, born 1908/1909.

Reba, you said:
> I know that William Richard III or could be Richard W. Thompson was b.
> 26 Jul 1928 in Pearson, OK,...
Is this something that is definitely known to be fact, or this name was found on a genealogy site or other place? I take this as known information, so you won't have to look up the person that the other person threw out.

The Oregon Death Index has this person as identified, death certificate 15398, death in Hood River County. You can order his death certificate from:
http://www.co.hood-river.or.us/HRCG_Template_Department.asp?...
Or, the volunteers at the Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness has two volunteers in Hood River County that do public records and tombstone photo's. I've set the link for Hood River. Be sure to read the guidelines first, you can't write to both at the same time for the same info:

Re: Death Record for a Jane Harvey(Harvie) 1915

RBestrom7380 — 2007-11-14 22:19:31Z

I apologize for this paragraph, it might appear to be patronizing you, as it seems you already have a good background on genealogy methods.
--While you wait for a local Yakima RAOGK or ask-a-librarian (If you have problems with the email address, try: http://www.secstate.wa.gov/library/ask.aspx instead)...
-- The death certificate for her will not be in Yakima, you can have ANYONE in the State that has access to the death index do it, then obtain the DC from:
http://www.co.yakima.wa.us/auditor/miscrecords.htm Depending on the form, it may not have the names of her parents. Depending on who provided the information, it might not be accurate. But, you might get lucky.
-- Back in 1915, there was not as many obituaries as today, unless they were famous, infamous, had local family and they wanted to pay for one. Most of the time it was just a death announcement. And chances are slim that it would identify her parents, but you might get lucky.

Your BEST bet is to try to get the information from Nova Scotia, hopefully the below will help:

You may have all this, but your post under "Harvie", only had James Kent with very minimum information. When you post, write as much as you have to help the researcher. The chances a family member will find your post are much less than finding someone that can actually help.

From Ancestry.com:

Gilbert Sutherland Harvie, born 8 May 1874 in Hants County, Falmouth, Nova Scotia, son of William Harvie ad Jane Murdock. He married Gwendeline Beatrice Giboney on 2 Feb 1902 in Magnolia, IA. He died on 4 June 1933 in Yaxley, Yakima Co, WA.

James Kent Harvie, son of above, born in Hants Co, Falmouth, NS on 31 November 1859, died on 9 August 1928 in Ellensburg, Kittitas Co, WA

Mary Stairs Harvie, born to above in Hants Co., on 4 April 1897, died in Yaxley, WA on 7 Sep 1926.

Stephen Edgar Harvie, son of above, born 28 August 1864, married Ida Louisa Vaughan, died 3 July 1924 in Ellensburg, Kittitas Co, WA.

A private website: http://www.fundyweb.com/harvey/gen00023.htm

The Hants County Genealogy site:

This one: http://harleynb.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderfil...
(Here is the full index: http://harleynb.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderfil... )
has Jane Murdock born 1833 in London, married 6 may 1850 to William Harvie, born 9 Oct 1820, died 14 August 1887 in Falmouth. They had 8 children, 5 appearing to have lived and more information identified.

This one is the Harvie/Harvey Family database: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jray/harvie/index.h...
This shows Jane Murdock daughter of Benjamin Murdock. It shows they had 9 children http://users.eastlink.ca/~harvie57/pafg16.htm#54

You can download varies portions of the family tree.

From the above, I found: http://www.rootsweb.com/~nshants/resources/directory/lovell/...
It shows William Harvie as a farmer in Falmouth, 1871.

This cemetery site for Falmouth is part of the above website for Hants...but it is not included in the current directory:

Also take a look at the Nova Scotia Archives and Records management:

William Richard Thompson

I'm looking for a connection to the family of William Richard Thompson b. 26 Aug 1905 in Asher, OK, who died in Zillah, WA on 13 May 1978. He married Flossie Ellen Dunkle. They had three children. William Richard Thompson, III; a baby girl, and Paul Leroy Thompson. I know that William Richard III or could be Richard W. Thompson was b. 26 Jul 1928 in Pearson, OK, and died in Hood Co., OR on 21 Dec 1959. His wife's name was Violet and they had 3 children: Karen, Rickey, and Darlene. I have not been able to find anything yet on Paul Leroy Thompson but am hoping to be able to in the near future. This family relates to my grandmother Lucy Elizabeth Thompson York.

Samuel Forkey who died 19 June 1941 in Yakima was the son of John and Olive Forkey who were living in Malone, Franklin County, NY. Olive was still living in 1900.

In 1880, Samuel was living in Polk County, MN with his uncles Antoine (Anthony) and Napoleon Cote (aka Cotty, Cota). I am not sure if Olive was a Cote or not. So far, I can't prove how they were related except for that census.

Anyone have a Joseph RUSSELL married around 1870 to 1880 (possibly in Maine) to a HINCE (possible first names are Eleanor/Elenore, born abt. 1850, or Cecille, born abt. 1852, or Carolyn/Caroline, born abt/ 1858, or Odile/Odelle, born abt. 1860; each of the women were born in Quebec, and most likely in the vicinity of Trois-Rivières, father was Louis HINSE/HINCE and the mother was Eleonore DUQUET dit DESROCHERS or DESROCHES.

I have an orbit. on Wilfred HINCE that states he is survived by a half-sister (Mrs. Jos. Russell), Yakima, WA. The above mentioned women are his half-sisters that I do not have any marriage data on. She would have immigrated to the US in 1881.

Re: missing grand mother

clanlockard — 2006-07-29 12:46:09Z

Louise, I was so excited when I saw this, because you may be someone who could help me too. I've hit a brick wall and I need a Yakama researcher to help me break through it. I'm researching my adult, adopted kids' birth family. Their paternal line is Klamath Indian except for their grandmother who is Yakama. All I have is that her name was Maria Whitefoot, Yakama roll #2212. She married (at least I assume they were married) Regimald Frederick Sargeant, born July 2, 1924 in Klamath, Oregon and they had three sons, all born in Klamath, Oregon: 1) my kids' birth father, Warren Leon Sargeant (Dec. 29, 1942 - March 1, 1994, Portland, OR); 2) Reginald Sargeant (December 12, 1943 - Aug. 24, 1975, Yakima, WA); and 3) Lanny Lee Sargeant (January 10, 1945 - December 18, 1992, Walla Walla, WA).

The reason I'm stuck is because I cannot find records with Whitefoot in the Klamath area and the Whitefoot names I find in the Yakima census don't include a Maria. I'm certain these Yakima census records include Maria's family, but I don't know where she fits in.

Do you have access to the Yakama Rolls and, if so, is it possible to see if there is a Maria Whitefoot or Maria Sargeant (also spelled Sargent) listed, so I could find out who her parents were?

Thank you for taking the time to read this message and, if you have time to help me, I would be especially grateful.

I found a James Curik who filled out his World War I Draft Reg. Card 7/5/1918. He was living at the Ridpath Hotel, Tacoma, Pierce Co., WA. He was b. 5 May 1893, Bohemia, Austria. He was single and occupation was fireman marine; not employed at present. He was medium & stout with blue eyes & light hair. He had declared intentions to become a naturalized citizen. A note at the bottom of the card said he "reported at Camp tried to enlist at Camp Lewis [WA] & was order to register him".

However, he did work in the Merchant Marine or with passenger ships. Vaclav Curik arrived 8 May 1941 in Seattle. He was 48, est. b. 1893. Ship's name was Coldbrook and departed from Changhai, China via Vancouver, British Columbia. He was a baker cook, 5' 3", weighed 182. "claims c/m Portland Feb 1940" No explanation about cryptic remark but I assume it's something to do with naturalization. If that's true, you can get copy of his naturalization papers from the Multnoah Co., OR Court House.

Vaclac Curik arrive 17 Aug 1944 in Seattle. He was 51, b. abt. 1893, race=Behemian, ship Charles Christenson, 30 yrs at sea, steward, physical=mark=appendectomy back rt, departed from Honolulu, Hawaii.

Vaclac Curik, arrived 16 Sept 1950, age 57, b. abt. 1893, race=Bohemian, ship name, Colorado, steward, 5'4" 225 lbs, naturalized Portland, OR 1940, arrived in Seattle from Okinawa, Japan.

Vaclav Curik arrived 19 Jan 1953, Seattle, age, 59, b. abt. 1894, race=Czech., ch. cook, ship Oregon Mail from Yohokama, Japan.

Vaclac Curik, arrived 3 Feb 1953 from Vancouver, B.C., age 59, b. 1894, 38 yrs sea, ch. cook, 5'4" 260 lbs, USA=naturalized, ship Oregon Mail departed from Vancouver, B. C.

A Vaclav Curik died 12 June 1960 in Multnomah Co., OR per death cert #7835. Source: OR Death Index 1903-1998. I'd think his home port was Portland since he was naturalized & died there. I don't know how to get obits from Portland. You can check the rootsweb.com, choose database, choose Oregon, choose Multnomah County. Good Luck!

OK abt. 1928; Stephen W. Dunkle, father-law, b. MO, abt. 1878, laborer general work and Tinie A. Dunkle, sister-law, b. OK, 13 yrs old.

Since the last available Census to the public is 1930 I can't verify Paul Leroy Thompson or a baby girl born to William R. and Flossie Thompson.

Hi Brenda, I checked the U.S. Censuses & didn't find her, however, the last viewable Census is 1930. After that date, it is very difficult to tract someone or a family.

Have you tried www.switchboard.com to see if by any chance she's still in Yakima?

Another web site that you might want to post on is at Roots, Message Boards, Topcs, More Topics, Lost Family & Friends. Good Luck!

Hi Glynda, I'm not sure this is your Ester. I found Ester and Jack in 1910 in Harts Home Ward 1, Pittsburg Co., OK. Jack b. KE, 40 yrs old, M? (can't read #), farm laborer. Ester, b. AR, 25, M2.

I found Jack, Easter [their spelling] and Luke in 1920 in Montgomery, Jennings Co., IN. Jack b. IN, abt. 1868, general farmer; Easter S., b. AR, abt. 1886 and Luke A. b. OK, abt. 1912.

In 1930 Jack and Luke were living in East Umpqua, Douglas Co., OR. Jack, divorced, general farmer, 62 and Luke, b. OK, 19 yrs old, single, no occupation shown.

You might want to contact Yakima Valley Gen. Soc. since there's such a large gap between the last Census in 1930 and his death; www.rootsweb.com/~wayvgs. They might have more info and charge a reasonable fee.

A Luke A. Hardesty, 539-05-1254 whose last residence [but could have been where his last benefit check was mailed to] Wapato, Yakima Co., WA. He was b. 13 May 1911 and d. 2 May 1997.

Hi, I didn't find anything for Ralph and his family living in Yakima Co. 1910-1930. 1930 is the last Census available to the public.

If they moved there after 1930, they will be harder to trace. The Yakima Valley Gen. Soc., www.rootsweb.com/~wayvgs does research for a reasonable price.

Some Yakima County burials can be found at the following web sites; www.rootsweb.com/~cemetery/washington/wa-yakima.htm, www.rootsweb.com/~wayakima/yak-cem.html and http://interment.net/us/wa/yakima.htm. Good Luck!

Re: Looking for either a marriage or divorce

judyartley26191 — 2007-11-27 00:02:24Z

Hi Karen, you're going to need help by a volunteer to look this up in the Marriage or Divorce Index. And I'm not sure the State has released divorce records that are this current.

For marriage info see www.rootsweb.com/~wayakima/ycinfo.html.

If that doesn't work, contact the Yakima Valley Gen. Soc. www.rootsweb.com/~wayvgs. They will research for a reasonable fee. Happy Hunting!

Re: Death Record for a Jane Harvey(Harvie) 1915

judyartley26191 — 2007-11-14 04:55:55Z

Hi Karen, you need a volunteer to look up her death cert number. Check out the www.raogk.org web site & look under Yakima County for volunteers who do this. They will look her death up in the WA State Death Microfilm for that decade and provide you the death cert #.

You can also request a copy of her obituary by sending an EMAIL to askalibrarian@secstate.wa.gov. Send them her name, death date & location. They will search the newspaper microfilm for one hour for free & reply with what they find. Good Luck!

Hi, I couldn't find them in the Census with the information you provided.

If you're only looking for info from Yakima City Directory, check out www.raogk.org. Then look up in Washington, Yakima County and see if there is a volunteer who will look up info the the City directory.

The Yakima Valley Gen. Soc. probably does research for a fee. See www.rootsweb.com/~wayakima/ycinfo.html.

The Yakima Valley Regional Library might have the directories but I don't know if they'll have one this old. 509-452-8541. Good Luck!

judyartley26191 — 2007-10-25 03:25:19Z

Hi LInda, when you said you were looking for information about "him" I assumed you meant Edward M. Allen.

An E. M. Allen, b. MI, abt. 1861 and his family lived in West Wenatchee, Chelan Co., WA in 1910. He had been married 24 yrs and was a general farmer. HIs wife Benteen, b. KS, 40 yrs old had given birth to 2 children both of whom were alive in 1910. Allen, b. OK, 11 and Lillie, b. KS, 11.

In 1920 Edward and Benteen (the index says Benton) lived in Tanwax, Pierce Co., WA. He was 59 & general farmer. She was 50.

In 1930 Edward and Benteen were living in South Grandview, Yakima Co., WA. He was general farmer, 69. She was 57. Caroline Hurst, sister-in-law, b. IL, 64 lived with them. Good Luck!

If you know where they died, check out http://www.secstate.wa.gov/library/ask.aspx. They require name, where & when died.

Another place to request is www.raogk.org. I see that the Yakima Valley Regional Library has newspapers on microfilm and a volunteer might be able to look them up for you.

Yakima Valley Genealogical Society might have them on file too maybe for a fee. Enter their name into your browser. Good Luck!

Then a C. T. Rathbone is living in 1880 in Albion, Cassia Co., ID with his family. C. T. b. IL, abt. 1818, farmer; wife Abigail, b. OH, 1836; dau. Alda b. KS, 15; son Libius b. KS, 13; rest of children born KS; Jane 8; Ernest 6; Kate 3 and Eugene 1.

On November 10, 1898 a Mary Rathbone, parents Cornelious T. Rathbne and Mary Ann Drain who was born McLean, IL, 1844 married in Silver, Creek Co., ID. Source: Family Data Collections-Individual Records.

No further references to Cornelius or Mary Rathbone.

In 1900 Abbie Rathbone and some of her children were living with the Napoleon Rathbone family in Muldoon, Blaine Co., ID. Abbie b. March 1836,had given birth to 13 children & 10 were alive in 1900. Edmund Rathbone, b. April 1856, IA, single, day laborer; Lebbus G. b. April 1867, KS, day laborer; Charls E. b. June 1873, KS, single; Eugene S., b. Sept. 1878, KS, day laborer.

In 1910 Abbie was living with a son and daughter in Albion, Cassia Co., ID. She was listed as widow, had given birth to 13 children & 9 were alive in 1910 & 74 yrs old. Eugene S. Rathbone, son, b. KS, 31 yrs old, single, farm laborer and May D. Hughes, b. KS, 45 yrs old.

In 1920 Abbie was living with two of her brothers in Boise, Ada Co., ID. Stephen A. D. Fordyce, widow, b. IL, abt. 1856 "musician pupils" and Samuel E. Fordyce, b. OH, abt. 1857, married but no occupation shown. Abbie was 83.

In 1930 Abbie was living in West Ahtanum, Yakima Co., WA in the Yakima Co. Poor Farm & Hospital. She was 93, listed as a patient and widow.

I went back thru the Censuses looking for Abbie Fordyce thinking I might find Helen but didn't find either one.

In 1850 in Homer, Morgan Co., OH there was a Libbery Fordice who had a list of Fordice/Fordyce and Deuth children. There was an Abigail Deuth, b. abt. 1836 in OH. Hope this gives you a clue to Helen. Good Luck!

I didn't find a Helen Rathbone in the Censuses.

Hello I am looking for info on a man named Lawrence L. Carver who lives in Yakima. I have recently bought a old fly fishing reel and on it is his address,name and army serial number dated 1945. I looked up the A.S.N. and verified that it is him as well as doing a people search to find out that he still lives in Yakima. There is a senior and a junior. If anyone could give me some info to put me in touch with this person that would be great! I would love to talk to him about his fly reel and the stories he may have.....even return the reel to him if he wanted it. Thanks for the help
