Hi ! Don, I have searched just about everywhere and everything I can think of to find my father Joe B. Chandler. I have looked at that Joseph B. Chandler in Nahcotta Twp and according to the death records this Joseph died before my father. I too could not read his work place. I thought maybe Commacho's as in a fruit or vegetable farm. My father left Washington State in early 1920's and shows up on the California directories in 1927. I have never found any records prior to this. I have his marriage application and certificate in 1930 which states his father's name as A. J. Chandler. On his Social Security application in 1937 his father's name is stated as John J. Chandler, mother;s maiden name unknown. He said his mother died abt. 1902/3. He said he drove from Washington to California so I thought maybe his driver's license would show his Washington address, but I do not know how to go about getting information from the Spokane DMV.

A quick search of the census shows a Joseph B Chandler in 1920 living in Washington State, Pacific County, Nahcotta Twp born in Ill. Father born Ind. Mother born Iowa. age 25 working as a foreman, where or for who is not readable. It lists an age of 25 born est. year 1894. Washington death index shows a Joseph B Chandler died in Kennewick Wash. at age 60 on 26 Jan 1954 cert #19. Does any of this match up with what you know. If this is him he should also show on the Social Security death index or have an application for an SS number somewhere with his parents listed on it as well as place of birth. Don
