Does anyone remember or have info on a Dr. W. Henry THOMPSON in Bellingham around the turn of the century? Thanks for any help. Dot Hosking Huntley in SW Oregon

I, too, am interested in this book, and would love to have a look at a copy. Please e-mail to Evelyn at [email protected] if someone knows where I can find it. Evelyn

I'm connected to a lot of pioneer families in Thurston County. I recently got a book from the library titled "South Bay its History and its people 1840-1940" copyright 1986 by the South Bay Historical Association. It has a lot of information in it about my ancestors and I would very much like a copy of the book but I have been unable to locate the South Bay Historical Association or a bookstore that has this or can order this book. Does anyone have any idea what happened to this organization or where I might locate a copy of this book? I looked at the web site of the Olympia Genealogy Society but the book wasn't listed in their publications. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Those of you who haven't already seen this might find it usefull ... Dick S. http://www.timezoneconverter.com/

Well worth r e a d i n g if you have the interest in history/genealogy of an old village that has become the city of today - 125 years later - Snohomish. No prejudice here - Snohomish, my home town where I was born in 1924. It was a cold rainy Saturday in November, as I recall. But, this Story is not about myself, but what I grew up but didn't know until now about my town: Ref. THE HERALD - Everett, WA. Date: Sat Jun 23, 2001 Section: LOCAL Page(s): B3 Author: Leslie Moriarty, Herald Writer Site: http://www.heraldnet.com/search/ Article: 125 years of service First Presbyterian Church of Snohomish began when the town had 20 saloons and a school, but no church. COMMENTARY: Before dismissing this article because it has to do with church (some people do!) please read on as the article REVEALS what Snohomish was really like 125 years ago when there were about 100 men and 20 women living here! A few Methodists tried, but it was another group who met at the Blue Eagle Dance Hall, the article states that began in 1876. Several names are presented - fodder for you g e n e a l o g i s t s to puruse - Thompson, Lewis, Ferguson (Father of Snohomish), the Pioneer Harvey Family of which there are descendants (Harvey Airfield), McCoy, etc. The article states that there was $1.00 in the treasury in 1902 and the pastor hadn't been paid yet! The 1st church bldg of 1877 I can't recall, but I remember well the church that replaced that earlier one in 1904 as it was still very prominant at the corner of 2nd St. and Ave A Snohomish right across from the fire station (complete with loud siren upon call). My close friend in high school was married there, and many years previous to that I visited there when a black minstral group performed most admirably to my young mind. (Today, we say Afro-Amer. rather than black I am aware of .) I often wondered what had happened to that church when the 1904 building was removed from that corner as it was a landmark, and not at all dilapidated in my mind. It turns out that it became located upon property at 13th. St. and Lakeview Ave. off Ave. D. in Snohomish, right across the street from my son's home. It is an impressive building and site and includes some classrooms and a huge parking lot. Tomorrow, Sun. the 24th. will be a celebration of the history of the church and it founding. I hope that you will enjoy reading the article about the old days in Snohomish and what it was like to start in a village with 20 saloons, no church, 100 men, 20 women - a rough, tough logging area, meeting at Blue Eagle Dance Hall on the Snohomish River where the Mill is today. To get these roughians to listen to a sermon with booze and cards, and other d i s t r a c t o r s must have been quite a chore for those pioneer reverands - but 125 years later - we can say they must have done their jobs well. Little did I know - but I enjoyed reading about it, and I think you will also. Of course, prejudice helps ! Carroll in quaint Snohomish, but it has ALL changed here ! * * * 30 * * * ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

I am looking for family members of Lottie Gertrude ABBEY THOMPSON NELSON who married W. Henry THOMPSON in Edison, Skagit County, Washington 11 March 1896. Her children were Mildred and Clyde. She married Henry NELSON before her death in 1946. She lived in Portland Oregon for some time around 1935. She is noted in the Oregonian obituary for Ella V. HUNDLEY STARK in 1935. She was very active in the Daughters of Union Veterans and the Woman's Relief Corps in Portland. I believe she is the sister of Ella Stark, who is the great great aunt of my husband, Dan Huntley. Does anyone have any clues? Thanks, Dot Hosking Huntley in SW Oregon

Hello PSRoots-L subscribers, Since so many Washington residents have Wisconsin roots, this may be of interest to you. Online Genealogical Research Service http://www.shsw.wisc.edu/genealogy/ogrs/index.html This new online service from the Wisconsin Historical Society (formerly the State Historical Society of WI), allows researchers to request a search of Wisconsin Pre-1907 birth, marriage and death records and pay with their credit card. Index copies and records matching search criteria will be mailed within four weeks. Fees are $10.00 per request for Wisconsin residents and Wisconsin Historical Society members, who already help underwrite our costs, and $15.00 per request for all other researchers. Wisconsin state and local sales taxes are automatically added to each order. First class shipping by the U.S. Post Office is included in the prices above. Researchers can choose Rush Service, which guarantees their request will leave the library within 7 working days, for an additional $25.00. Orders shipped to addresses outside the U.S. are charged an additional $2.50 USD. Researchers may have up to two orders pending in the system at any time.

I would be extremely grateful if someone could look up an obituary for me in Bellingham. Lottie NELSON died just before January 15, 1946 in Bellingham. Her obituary also appeared in the Portland Oregonian on January 15, 1946. Thanks in advance for any help. Dot Hosking Huntley in SW Oregon

Hi Andy: The Elma Chronicle was the Elma newspaper from about 1880 to about 1960. In recent years there has started up the East County News, 104 W. Main St., Elma, WA 98541. You might give them a try. Only someone quite prominent in the county would get an obit now in the Daily World if they lived in Elma. You might also try the Montesano Vidette, 109 W. Marcy, Montesano, WA 98563. Jim Pearson [email protected] ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andrew R.

Olympia, Thurston County, Washington Territory April 16, 1870 The Washington Standard ATTEMPTED MURDER IN PIERCE COUNTY. Our people were startled last Sunday morning, by a telegram announcing another outrage perpetrated in Pierce county, the evening previous, a few miles from Steilacoom. It appears from Mr. Giles FORD's statement, in the Daily Tribune, that a man named CALDER, left Steilacoom intoxicated, Saturday evening, and went to the house of Mr. NORTHOVER, near Muck, and commenced insulting a daughter of NORTHOVER's a half-breed, and nearly a woman grown. NORTHOVER remonstrated with him for his brutal conduct, whereupon CALDER drew his revolver and deliberately shot NORTHOVER; the ball entering his stomach and lodging in his back. After perpetrating this fiendish act, he pursued the girl, who fled from the house, being more swift of foot, she escaped her pursuer, who was intent upon adding the outrage of her person to the crime already committed upon her father. CALDER thereupon directed his steps to the barn, where he laid down and went to sleep. Meanwhile NORTHOVER's daughter made her way to a neighbor's house, and two or three persons living in the vicinity kept CALDER in sight while a messenger was dispatched to town for the Sheriff. Early Sunday morning Sheriff CARSON repaired to the scene of outrage, with adequate assistance, and took in custody and hand-cuffed the ruffian; not, however, without some trouble, as he made a desperate resistance, and threatened to shoot the Sheriff and his posse, if he ever had an opportunity. CALDER is now in jail awaiting trial for the crime. Dr. STEELE, of Olympia, was summoned to attend NORTHOVER, who, it seems now, was not mortally wounded. Olympia, Thurston County, Washington Territory Saturday, April 16, 1870 The Washington Standard John CALDER, of Pierce county, who shot Mr. NORTHOVER a few weeks ago, was sentenced to seven years in the Penitentiary, at the last term of court.

Hello Everyone, This message is to announce the summer series of cemetery tours sponsored by the Sno-Isle Genealogical Society and Washington GenWeb. This series will take place every few weeks throughout the summer and fall, and this year will concentrate on Snohomish County and environs. The series will be led by two respected authorities on traditional and online genealogical research, Kevin Fraley and Laura Pemberton Sparr.
