Looking to the knowledgeable listers for information on locating City Directories that would include the city of Sumner around 1910-1920. Thanks, Andy - Guam USA

I saw you!!!! I was thrilled. Just sitting there with my feet up, watching Evening Magazine sortof, and I heard the words "genealogy" and "yearbooks" in the same sentence and I yelled "I know her!." Two years? They don't rush into things. You look like Earth Mother and you were warm and friendly and joyful. Your bookstore looks very attractive too - we should organize an expedition to come visit.

To P. A. Marsh There was a colony in Skagit County called The Equality Colony. There is a book by (I think) the same name. There is a copy in the LaConner library and I will check it for you if you have any specific questions.

Here are a couple of web pages that I found that have information. If you go to www.google.com and put in Puget Sound Cooperative Colony as your search terms, it comes up with these links, plus a lot more. Good luck! http://www.portangelesonline.com/history/coop.htm http://www.olypen.com/rfoss/censusindex.html#dreamsofutopia -----Original Message----- From: P.A.

Does anyone know anything about the puget sound cooperative colony? I read about someone who came from Nebraska with this group to Wa....I think it was in the late 1800's.

It seems to me there was a Mr. ERB who was a janitor or custodian at Woodland Grade School in South Puyallup (Woodland/112th area ?) when I was in 2nd grade there back in the early 1940s.

Greetings: I hope this is of help, my mother grew up in Enumclaw, so thought she might know of your family. But she graduated in 38, so she forwared it to my aunt and her husband, both from Enumclaw.

Hello List: Does anyone know if there are any Pierce Co. divorce records from 1869-1871? My g Grandmother, Harriet Byrd, married in June 1868 and by December of that year her husband had put an advertisement in the newspaper that she had deserted him. She was only about 14, after all. She then married my g Grandfather in Sept. 1871. I assume there was some sort of legal proceeding necessary to marry the second time. Thanks.

I am looking for descendants of Charles Erb, who was born about 1884 in Minnesota, son of Samuel Erb. He was living in Enumclaw in 1941. I would appreciate hearing from any relatives or anyone with information on this family. Thanks you in advance. ===== Pat Burns __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Hi from Guam, Can anyone on this list tell me what were the Enumeration Districts for the City of Sumner for the Census Years 1900/1910/1920. I have info that Sumner was Precinct #188 in 1910 - is that the same as the ED? Andy, Guam USA PHS Class of 1949

Olympia, Washington Territory January 29, 1870, Saturday Washington Standard A Terrible Tragedy Steilacoom, Jan. 22.--The Vigilance Committee of Pierce county shot at GIBSON and McDANIEL this morning, about seven o'clock, on their way to town. GIBSON was mortally wounded; McDANIEL escaping with one buckshot in his arm. The Committee, numbering from forty to fifty, arrived in town at about a quarter past one this afternoon, and shot McDANIEL dead. After shooting McDANIEL, the Committee then took charge of GIBSON, intending to take him to jail, as none of the hotels would admit him. On the way, GIBSON made a grab at one of the men's revolvers, which went off and shot HIGHSTREAM in the foot. The Committee then shot GIBSON dead--one ball going through him and wounding LEGARD in the leg. Steillacoom, Jan. 23--10:20 A.M.--It appears in relation to the shooting yesterday, that one B. GIBSON, formerly of Idaho, and who rumor said was an escaped murderer, some time since jumped the land claim of Charles WREN, of Victoria, and was made to vacate it by a Justice's Court subsequently. The same man jumped the claim, was arrested, and brought to trial on Friday last before E. R. ROGERS, J. P., who granted GIBSON a continuance until Saturday at 1 o'clock. On Friday night it seems that Chas. McDANIEL and said GIBSON rode to several farm houses in the county, and threatened bodily injury to the owners, among the number to McLain CHAMBERS. The impression now prevailed that said McDANIEL was an accomplice of GIBSON's, and upon such impression the citizens of Muck Prairie formed themselves into a Vigilance Committee, and started in pursuit of the jumpers. Early on Saturday morning, at a point about five miles from town, GIBSON was shot, supposed mortally, and was brought to the city. Meanwhile McDANIEL had entered the city, and made boisterous demonstrations, and while doing so the Vigilance Committee came in with the body of GIBSON; and surrounded McDANIEL at WESTBROOK's Saloon. McDANIEL disarmed himself of all weapons excepting a large knife, and wanted to make a statement, but would not be listened to, when one of the Committee cried out: "Shoot the son of a b-----." McDANIEL then ran through the alley-way, jumped over the railing, and was making his way out between WOOD's law office (formerly) and CATE's building, when a ball entered his left temple, and he fell. After struggling about three hours, he died. GIBSON in the meantime, was taken up on the hill beyond the jail, when lo! and behold he raised up and grabbed John HIGHSTREAM's pistol and made fight, firing two shots--the balls taking effect in the legs of Joe LEGARD and HIGHSTREAM, but wounding them very slightly. GIBSON was then shot through the head, and died instantly. The bodies were taken charge of by the Sisters of Charity, and will be buried to-day. The Committee has abandoned their organization, and returned home; and this has ended a most deplorable trouble. ---Intelligencer. Olympia, Washington Territory October 29, 1870, Saturday Washington Standard Pierce County Matters Proceedings of the District Court of Pierce County. Criminal Business.--Territory of Washington vs. Richard KENNEDY and others, for murder of Charles McDANIEL. Counsel for Territory; Messrs. Jas. McNAUGHT and C. M. BRADSHAW. For the prisoners, Messrs. J. E. WYCHE, W. H. WALLACE and Frank CLARK. This is the case where a Vigilance Committee killed McDANIEL and GIBSON, last winter. It occupied three days in trial, and was very ably managed on both sides. The jury were out about an hour, and returned a verdict of not guilty. The case against the same parties for the murder of GIBSON was continued until next term.
