I have sent for birth records to Spokane and Olympia WA. with no results. What puzzles me more then anything is that he doesn't show on the 1900, 1910 or 1920 census records either, unless we want to count the Joseph B. Chandler in Pacific County in 1920. But the age is off by four years and it says he was born in Illinois. Thanks for your input. Dave. [email protected]
