Surnames: Johnson, Coughren, Ferris, Bruner, Voss, Miles Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/INB.2ACE/1494 Message Board Post: Hello again, I posted a few messages to the message board back in April, and I wanted to let you al know of some progress I have made. And, of course, I have new questions... I never, ever expected to find out about my great-grandmother's sister, Bulah M. GOSSETT. She died at age 23 in 1918 from the flu epidemic, and no one in the family that I could find remembered where she died, or much at all about her. We had a funeral card, but not a lot of detail on the card. Well, while researching a different part of the family, I found out more about Bulah than I had ever imagined. She moved from her home town of Lewis Station, Henry Co., Missouri to take a teaching postion in Montana. I still don't know exactly where, but probably around Superior, Tarkio, Missoula, or elsewhere in that area. I suppose it would have been approximately 1913-1915. She married a fellow by the name of Henry H. GILMAN (or GILLMAN), and they started a family. Bulah was getting ready to be "confined", probably on bedrest, toward the end of her first pregnancy and went to Missoula. After she was there, she got the flu and was quite ill. Her baby was stillborn. Bulah died about 7 hours after the baby was born. Her husband was extremely grieved by the situation. Bulah was buried in Missoula City Cemetery, along with her baby girl. The whole family was taken by such surprise to learn of her death. Her extended family in the area, including her Aunt Minnie (Miles) Johnson, helped take care of arragements. Some of her other cousins in the area were: Bessie (Johnson) Coughren, Mamie Johnson, Ralph E. Johnson, Dorothy Voss, Helen Bruner. Does anyone know where I might find teaching/school records to learn where it was that Bulah Gossett Gilman was teaching in 1917, and possibly a year or two before that? Also, her husband had been working at the Stringham saw mill... Can anyone tell me about that? Where was it located? How long did it exist? Are there pictures of it and/or any workers? I am headed off to look for this online, but I thought someone from the area might be able to help me, too. At the time of Bulah's death, December 1918, it appears that the flu had been just awful in the area. School had been closed for 8 weeks (due to flu?), and many others in Bulah's extended family had had "lite" versions of the illness. Thanks for your help in the past, and I look forward to hearing from some of you again. Laura

It might be worth your time and effort to obtain a copy of Josephine Alice Dyer/Dryer's Death Certificate, as these documents often contain the deceased's parents' names, including mother's maiden name, and birthplaces which would certainly be helpful to your search for her ancestors. Contact the following: County Clerk & Recorder A-DL County Courthouse Anaconda, MT 59711 PHONE: 406-563-4061 The fee for this document is about $3.00. If the Anaconda-Deer Lodge County Courthouse does not have the death certificate for some reason, you can contacf the Dept. of Public Records for Montana located in Helena.
