I believe Faye and Tommy Poquette owned a restaurant in Portland. Faye, Enid's Mother, was a Cheney. Her Father was George Edgar Cheney and her Mother was Rosa Lee Carr (Maiden) She is my Grandmother and your Husbands GGrandmother I guess. They came from Illinois. They had 3 children: William G born 1894, died 1974 in Seattle. He was a Juvenile Court Judge for many years. Ernest born 1895, died 1971. He lived in Anacortes, WA He was in the Navy WWI. Faye/Fay born 1897. I believe she was about 14 yr old when her Mother divorced her Father. He had committed several sins; drinking, chasing women, gambling etc. Anyway, other than that I don't know much about him. The boys seemed to think she had a reason to divorce him but Faye never forgave her Mother and lived with a Cheney Aunt in Black Diamond WA. She said she would not leve with either parent unless they were living together. My Grandfather was a ranch hand on their ranch/ farm near Ellensburg, WA, George Cheney never visited and seemed to disappear off the face of the earth. A few years ago a relative found that he had returned to Illinois, married (probably someone he knew) and moved to Calif.

Mom went to Enids wedding ( can't remember when). That's the last time she saw her. There was a post that someone had found a purse at a Good Will and it had a Marriage License in German that was Enid's. I have no idea what that is about. The Cuculich you mentioned was married to Faye. I think that was her second husband. Maybe Enid took his name for a while? I wish I could find all the stuff I have on her. Would you believe I'm disorganized? ;-) I will find it! Also I have pictures of Faye, her Mother and her Grandmother. I think I also have a picture of George Cheney. The Carr family is traced back pretty far. I think 1600's in Ireland or Scotland. I am sending you some e-mail addresses This is Nancy Brown lfbnjb@sprynet.com. She is researching the Cheney's and has more information on Faye. She lives in Oregon. Jim Carr N7FCF@hctc.com has a webpage on the Carrs. He's the Carr family Genealogist and lives in Shelton, WA.. Dan Gabel dgabel@adams.net who is a great nephew of my Grandmother Rosa Carr. He lives in the same area in Illinois that they are from.

Enid's brother Clayton died young. It was an illness or accident, I can't remember which but I'll ask Mom when I talk to her next time.
