    1. [ORKLAMAT-L] klamath Co. research question
    2. Hello, I 'll have a few hours free time in Klamath Falls during Christmas. I would really like to prove or disprove the idea that Marcellus C. "Marsh" CLICK died in Klamath Co. ca 1925. What is the best use of my limited time? How can I find death records for 1925? Marsh CLICK is something of a mystery. We don't know for sure when or where he was born (ca 1836), when or where he married Nancy Jane WEAVER (ca 1860), or when or where he died. Marsh CLICK and his father-in-law, David Adam WEAVER, were ranchers int Bandera Co. TX and became widely known because of being mentioned in A. J. Sowell's book TEXAS INDIAN FIGHTERS, published in 1883. By the early 1900s Marsh CLICK had children and grandchildren in Klamath Co. His daughter Martha Elizabeth married Erasmus Andrew BREWER and had 8 children. They were residents of Fort Klamath starting in June 1910. The marriage of William "Bill" BREWER and Gladys DARLING in 1925 lead to the purchase of the family ranch 3 miles east of Fort Klamath. The property is still owned by their descendants and is still a working cattle ranch. But Marsh CLICK disappeared from the record about 1925. Some have suggested he is buried in an unmarked grave on a ranch in Texas. However, the Texas dscendants have an oral tradition that he went to live with his daughter in Klamath Co., Oregon prior to his death. Was his body shipped back to Texas? I'll have one afternoon free to look for a record of his death. Any ideas of where to start. Grant Chico, CA
