If you check the Social Security Death Index, there has been only one Wilma Cleary recorded in their index anywhere in the country: WILMA CLEARY born 17 Mar 1909 died Apr 1974, while a resident of zip code 44511 (Youngstown, OH); no location given for payment of a death benefit, so she probably was widowed or single at the time of her death. Her social security number was 287-01-1740 and it was issued in Ohio (Before 1951) You can check anyone else at http://www.ancestry.com/ssdi/advanced.htm Gary Zimmerman gzim@fog.seattleantioch.edu

Hi all, Just wanted to pass along a photo place I found to be just what I needed. This place made a negative and black & white 8 x 10 enlargment (matte finish) of an old "postcard" picture of my grandparents wedding. They had it done within a week, do the work themselves on the premises and it only cost $5.50. In the past I had them make negatives and prints of all of my tintypes, union case photos, ambrotype pictures, etc. because they don't sent them out. I don't remember the cost exactly but I think it was around $2 and it was about seven years ago. I couldn't remember their name since I had moved away. Recently, needing some work done I started calling around and getting prices of $20-50 until I called them. When I dropped them off, I was overjoyed to find it was the place I had been looking for? The don't do restorations there, but my purpose was to have photos I could handle and show around without damaging them. I also did the video taping but made a seperate tape for unidentified photos and have sent them to relatives and made some additional identifications. Hi-Gloss Photo Service, Inc. 1018 Martin Luther King Way Tacoma, WA 98405 (253) 627-4475 Hope this helps someone, somewhere.

Any of you (adults & young people) who might be interested in science, technology, or history of it, take a look at http://eo1.gsfc.nasa.gov/ for a spectacular view of some of the things that are being done today as we speak.

Jim Pearson: I checked the WA State Death Index for Wilma Cleary from 1955 through 1988 but did not find a record for her. Maxine Alexander

Further to my message of 26 November 1998, can someone give me some advice on the following points: a) My great aunt Ada GANDON arrived in Seattle early in 1915. She apparently then married a U.S. Navy man. Am I right in assuming that the naval shipyard at Bremerton was the only U.S. Navy base in Puget Sound in 1915 or were there others in the area? b) How can I check out marriages in Bremerton / Port Orchard for the period 1915 - 1920? Is there a marriage index for this period? Robin

Hi: Does anyone out there have a Washington State Death Index handy? I need a lookup on a Wilma A. Cleary, born around 1910, who was raised in the Vancouver, Wa. area. She was alive in 1957, and I assume is dead at this point. Appreciate it. Jim Pearson pearson@rio.com

There is only one thing missing here that would be helpful in preserving the continued use as a cemetery, a restriction on it's use. Care should be used on restrictions since judges sometimes say/rule "unreasonable." A lawyer that deals in land titles should be consulted for a proper one, and remember that in today's world, you must also consider the air above as well as the underground; mining rights & air rights. If needed, because you didn't get the restrictions you wanted, all that's needed is to transfer the title one more time with the restrictions added to protect it's future use.
