I will find out where to purchase the book. I'm pretty sure it is available at the museum. There are a number of different books for sale there. Evelyn

Thanks Darilee for looking also. That was really sweet of both of you. I don't know if Edwin or Virginia Ford were related. But, Mom said she had a best friend named Eunice, and that she went to school with the Wiesfield and Goldberg kids at the same time. I asked her how she got to school, i.e., walked, took the bus. She road the streetcar! Evelyn

I asked Mom about her high school, and she said that the name of the yearbook was Chief Sealth. (She is 88, and I had never heard her talk very much about her high school years). She couldn't remember her photograph being in the annual. In 1925, she would have been 15, probably a freshman. Her sister, Doris, was one year older, and would have been a sophmore. Thanks for looking. Do you suppose I could get a photocopy of the freshman/sophmore page? Evelyn

Hi All, Thank you for all your kind responses. I feel like I just fell into wonderland. I have a couple more questions - Is this book still available? Can it be purchased? What kind of information is in it? Are the messages on this list archived anywhere? If available how can I access the archive? Excerpt from Fredi: A photo of Carrie Callow Hurley appears in the book: Shelton: the First 100 Years Plus Ten. She worked at Lumbermen's Mercantile when the photo was taken in 1909. Also in the same reference, Rusty Callow, it is said, was the star in Shelton during the 1915-1920 period, and eventually retired as crew coach at the Naval Academy. Thanks again for all your help!

Lynnette A Prue Curious here --- Worms, South Dakota --- located about 10-12 miles SE of Scotland, Bon Homme County, South Dakota - (Scotland is in the NE corner of Bon Homme County.). Bon Homme County is in the south central part of South Dakota - where it pushes into Nebraska. I am curious as to where the post office was located? Someone's home?

Greetings, group, Here's another comment on post office names. While researching in at the National Archives I in D.C., I started looking at the post office records which had been recommended to me as underused. I was surprised and pleased to see a brother of my great-great-grandfather had been a postmaster for a short period of time in Marathon County, Wisconsin. I followed up in the records about the post offices themselves and found the application to become a post office. Besides a physical description of the location, the potential post master for a new office was to draw a map of the area that would be served (August marked exactly where every farm house was on their "40's" and many of those fold were kin). The name he chose for the post office was Czersk, the Polish name of the town closed to where they had recently immigrated in Prussia. The postmaster rejected the name so August countered with Konitz, the German name of the same town! It was accepted but the post master apparently didn't have the knowledge German spelling of Polish places needed to understand what was written, and the post office was called Konetz. I encourage anyone who has the chance to look at these microfilmed records for the areas their ancestors lived in if they were of the "pioneer" time period for that area. Even if they weren't the post master for the office, there may be interesting information about the physical layout of their neighborhood at that time and the public transportation available. You'll also learn how often they got mail delivered to the area! Enjoy! Joyce Wans Mukilteo WA USA

Hi I checked the 1925, 26, 27, 29 and 31 Sealth, the annual for Broadway High School. Did find senior pictures for Edwin and Virginia Ford but did not see Gladys, Doris or Bessie. The sophomore and freshman classes were not listed...only the Juniors and Seniors. I know I have a 1928 which would be more likely for a person born in 1910 to graduate from.

I am new to this list and am hoping to find any information regarding Catherine Elizabeth McKinley b September 16, 1860 in Indiana, d May 19, 1936 in Tacoma, WA. Catherine was married to Warren Sylvester Viles and I understand that she is buried in Woodvine Cemetery in Puyallup, WA. I am trying to determine the names of Catherine's parents in particular. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks! Pam

The name Rusty Callow rings a bell in relation to Carrie. I recall an elderly relative (95+)mentioning that he was somehow related to her, but I don't know how. Possibly a cousin or brother. Carrie was married to my g-grandfather's brother Dennis Hurley and I am just trying to find more information on her and their son Russell. I would appreciate any help.

** Reply to message from Carroll H Clark <clarkw7iml@juno.com> on Fri, 4 Dec 1998 09:44:37 -0800 Carroll, Very interesting to hear from you about your forebears in London. I had not realised that St Stephen's Coleman Street was on the site of a synagogue. St Olave's church was of course in Old Jewry, and was the next parish southwards from St Stephen's. Without doubt at an earlier period there would have been no distinguishing Clarkes from Clarks, but my knowledge on the family only goes back to the beginning of the 19th century during which period our lot always spelt it with an "e". The first I know anything of was Henry Allen Clarke, a clerk at the Bank of England, who was possibly born in Sussex, but lived in Aldersgate Street in the City and was buried originally at the church of St Botolph's Without Aldersgate - not all that far from where your James Clark had worshipped two centuries earlier. I say "originally" buried because some time later there was redevelopment close by and a large postal headquarters was built next door. The rest will be slightly familiar to you. The old churchyard was combined with an even smaller one atached to a neighbouring church and the whole turned into a pleasant little open space with paths and benches for people to sit on, which became known as Postmen's Park because that was where the postal workers took their sandwiches to eat for lunch. The graves were cleared away, and my wife's great great great grandfather was moved out with all the others to a large modern cemetery in Surrey, where a collective monument was put up for them all. So our Clarks/Clarkes could always be related, but until I can get back before Henry Allen Clarke nothing can be established. He was born, by the way, about 1770, and though I have guessed he might have been born in Sussex I only say so because he seems to have married there and his eldest known child Susan was born there in 1803 (she married Robert Timms, a glove maker). What we are told, in the 1841 census) is that he was not born in London/Middlesex. As for my Tacoma Keywoods, you know almost as much as I do. My granny's brothers Fred and Will settled there after working on the railroads, and Fred's daughter Gladys, born Oct. 29, 1912 (I don't know her mother's name and haven't looked for a certificate), died in August 1976. A kind person in WA found me an obituary for her, but reported that there was no will or probate information at the Tacoma library, so I have no pointers to her children if any. Somewhere I have a letter from her father or uncle to my grandmother, written when he needed a birth certificate to apply for his railroad pension, and somewhere too there is a photograph of Gladys and her parents in the Tacoma countryside which she sent my mother (her cousin) when another Keywood brother died here apparently intestate and all living relatives had to be traced for probate purposes. Your other surnames don't figure significantly on my researches (there is an Atkinson who married one of Henry Allen Clarke's descendants), though I have a passing interest in some Drivers who lived at Tuttle Hill in Warwickshire which, according to my surname dictionary, is one of the possible origins of the Tuttle surname. If you are interested there is a very lively genealogical group in Nuneaton who would know all about Tuttle Hill. Enough for now. Thank you for all your interest. John, in Lewisham, Greater London, England
