Surnames: MARVIN, TERRELL, DAVIS Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/XW.2ADI/83.108 Message Board Post: I'm looking to find a connection to Henry Marvin's (b.abt. 1866 in Oregon, found in the 1880 Calapooia/Douglas Co/OR census and then in the 1920 Etna/Siskiyou/CA census) father, who is Charles S. Marvin. Charles S. Marvin married Mary E. Terrell 18/Jan/1851 in Whiteside Co/IL. I believe this is the same Charles Marvin who first married Eliza Davis 5/Dec/1837 in Mansfield/Richland Co/OH. He and Eliza had 3 children between 1838 and 1841. Eliza then goes on to marry John Hull in 1844 in Richland Co/OH. John left for the goldfields of California in 1850. Eliza had a sister who lived in Whiteside Co/IL and it is believed that she was in Whiteside Co around this same time. One of my Charles' sons William E. Marvin decided to move from Johnson Co/IA, where he lived his entire life to Benton Co/OR late in life (around 1904). I always wondered if he left because he was joining up with family...this is where I ran into your Charles Marvin. The people and areas are all too coincidental. I wondered if you had more info on this Charles S. Marvin...because I think it is the same as my Charles. Please, Please email me...I would love to jump over this brick wall!! Thank you!! Skye

Obituaries: Allen Douglas Propst Allen Douglas Propst passed away November 4, 2003, in Alturas, Ca., after a short illness. A memorial service will be held at the Federated Church in Alturas, Saturday, November 15, at 3 p.m., with fellowship to follow at the Propst residence. Mr. Propst, 76, was born in Merino, Colorado, December 1, 1926, to Allen Earl and LuluBelle Rand Propst. He grew up in the middle of the Great Depression in a pioneer Colorado family that left a legacy of honor and integrity. His grandfather, T.K. Propst, and his father Allen Propst, were part of a family cattle ranching and banking operation who faced a crisis that tried their souls. The national banking collapse of 1929 ruined their bank and their bank manager committed suicide rather than face the prospect of plunging the whole enterprise into bankruptcy. T.K. and his sons and daughters determined that taking bankruptcy was not an option and that none of their neighbors and friends who had entrusted them with their savings, would lose a dime of their deposits. The whole family joined together to mortgage everything they owned - land, cattle, personal homes, automobiles and all their properties - in order to borrow the money to pay their depositors to the last cent. The family stuck together, worked hard and fully repaid that debt of honor. It was a lesson in integrity that was seared into the minds and hearts of the Propst family and Doug, who was raised on the historic family ranch with his many cousins, working hard, but having fun, too. Doug served in the U.S. Navy in the Pacific arena as a gunners mate, third class, during World War II. He used his GI bill to attend Colorado A & M (now Colorado State University), and graduated with a degree in Animal Husbandry. Doug married Joan Shaw in 1950. They went to work on the Win-Del ranch in Ennis, Montana until the opportunity came to move to Santa Catalina Island, Ca., where they lived for 40 years. Doug had a life-long love of the outdoors. He loved to take his family and island guests for jeep rides, just to go check things. He spent many enjoyable times with family and friends at Ben Weston beach, hiking and riding all over the island. He worked hard as President and general manager of the Catalina Conservancy, to restore Catalina to its native state. Doug and Joan ceaselessly labored to study, research and rebuild their beloved island. In 1975, the Wrigley family, recognizing the great natural values of the island, established the Santa Catalina Conservancy in order to permanently protect this island jewel for all future generations. Through his tenure, Doug was able to work with many world-renowned scientists who came to study Catalina, and so became very knowledgeable about Catalina's native plants and animals. Doug led the Conservancy as Chairman and CEO for nearly 20 years before his retirement in 1993, when he and Joan moved to their Modoc County ranch to be closer to their family in Alturas, Ca. After retirement, Doug continued to use his knowledge of range conservation to make significant contributions to the Warner Mountain Range Project. He served on the technical review team that developed a range-wide grazing management plan for the Warner Mountains. Doug was talented in many ways. He used his photography skills to document Catalina Island, its wild flowers and native plants. His photos have been published and displayed. Doug was well known for his slide shows, educating about Catalina. Doug was a writer of clever verse and illustrations, whenever there was a need for such. He also had considerable talent in woodworking. He built many useful things, the best of which were beautifully turned wood pen and pencil sets he made of whatever wood his family and friends brought him. He was involved in many organizations including Alturas Noon Rotary Club, where he enjoyed working with Roger Dorris on developing the Little League Ball Park. He was a past president of the Avalon Rotary Club, the Los Angeles County Soil Conservation District and the Catalina Museum Society. In 1970, Doug was named Range Man of the Year by the Society for Range Management. While at Colorado A & M, Doug was a founding member of the Farm House Fraternity. He has been recognized many times by various groups and organizations, for his conservation work. Mr. Propst leaves Joan, his wife of 53 years; daughters, Susi Younger, and son-in-law Jay Younger of Alturas, Barbara Moklestad, Alturas, Robin Paine, and son-in-law Ernie Paine, Yerington, Nevada; granddaughters Jessica Younger, Reno, Nevada, Elizabeth Younger, Alturas, Ruby Paine, and grandson, Douglas Paine, Yerington, Nevada. His sister, Emma Lou Carr, preceded him in death. Donations may be made in Doug's memory, to The Catalina Island Conservancy Education Fund, P.O. Box 2739, Avalon, California 90704. Ronald Ray Rosendahl Lifelong Modoc resident Ron Rosendahl, 56, passed away in Alturas, Ca. on November 2, 2003 of natural causes. Born to Betty and "Bud" Floyd Rosendahl in Alturas, Ca. on March 4, 1947, Ron spent all of his time in the area and graduated with the Class of 1966 from Modoc High School. During this time he was employed at Wilson Ranches. Right after high school graduation, he was hired by Modoc National Forest's Helitack Crew, later to become Dispatcher for the Interagency Division. Ron was an avid hunter, fisherman and bowler, involved in the local bowling league for many years. He loved to get involved in activities, especially involving his niece and nephew. They spent many years at local fish derbies, duck and goose and deer hunting in the Warner Mountains. Ron always made time to spend with family and friends and will always be remembered as the caring person that he was. After he retired from the U.S. Forest Service Interagency Dispatch Center, where he patiently trained novice dispatchers on several occasions over the years, he put many hours into creating his collection of some 200 aeronautic models. He was preceded in death by his parents, sister Cathy and two infant sisters. He is survived by his niece Dana, her husband Mark and their children Candra, Caitlin, Kyle and Kasey all of Coos Bay, Ore., nephew Jason of Sacramento, uncles Don Rosendahl of Cedarville, Ca. and Harold Rosendahl of Alturas, Ca. and cousins. Memorial services are pending at this time. Correspondence may be sent to the family at 1936 LawnRidge Loop, Coos Bay, Ore. 97420.

He moved to Christmas Valley, OR. in 1977 and worked on a ranch until 1980, when he moved back to Cedarville to care for his mother. He remained her caregiver until her death in 2000. He was preceded in death by his parents, Clifford and Virgie Vaughn. A memorial service will be held in the Community Church in Cedarville at 11 a.m. Monday, November 17.

Greetings, On the eve of Veterans Day I've been reflecting on the many historic cemeteries in which a vast number of our nation's veterans are still buried. Many, many of those cemeteries are in sad states of repair and care with our civil representatives having ignored their plight and condition for many decades now. As you spend your Tuesday with your co-workers, family or friends, please remember your ancestors who fought for our nation. If you are able, please go to a local historic cemetery and see if the cemeteries where our veterans now rest in peace are in the kind of condition you believe they deserve. If they are not in a well maintained cemetery, take the time to call your local representative and ask that some attention be paid to the neglected cemeteries where these veterans now lie for eternity. Ask them if they would want their ancestors to rest in a place that looks so bad or if they believe the resting places of our veterans should be so disrespected. Please ask them to care, and to help us to show respect for the last "homes" of our pioneer citizens and veterans. Respectfully, Sue Silver, State Coordinator California Saving Graves
