Does anyone have access to the Index for Washington deaths ~ King County 1920 ~ if so would you be so kind as to check for a Margaretta Sinexon & her infant child ~ they were cremated & returned via train with the husband/father & buried in PA 4/22/1920 so death most likely would have been prox 4/15/1920 give or take. I do not know the age of the 'infant child'. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Antoinette (Tacoma, Washington)

Does anyone have access to locating a 1920 obit in Seattle. I do not have the date of death but have been told she was buried 4-22-1920. Rather it states that she died in Seattle and was cremated with infant and that date. Would SKS be able to check for an obit? The lady's name is given as Margaretta Blood SINEXON ~ her husband was Horace Bunn SINEXON and he returned to Philadelphia shortly afterwards. Thank you for any help you may be able to give me. Antoinette (Tacoma, Washington)

This a shot in the dark, but I tend to play clues (CLOOZ) so I will offer what I have found: I have a copy of Histories of Skagit and Snohomish Counties of the State of Washington published in 1909 with Biographical Sketches. There was an AMOS BOWMAN (dec'd at the time of the Biog. Sketch but he was the founder of the town of Anacortes, WAand a man of great influence for Skagit county just north of our Snohomish County. He envisioned an agriculture and commercial empire on the shores of Puget Sound. He was ranked among the foremost of the men of vision in his time. His profession was in mining and civil engineering.and he was skilled in geology and journalism who had ties with the Atlantic coast persons of influence. He had gotten his education at Oberlin University, in Ohio & later the Univ. of the City of New York. He grad with degree of mining and civil engineering at the famous Copllege of Mines, Freiberg, Germany. His course included arts in Munich. He worked with Horace Greeley editor of the New York Tribune as a special correspondent. He saw service in the Crimean War. He toured Continental Europe before returning to the United States. Wouldn't we have wanted to have know such a gentleman of his accomplishments? You bet, we would! Mr. Bowman visited Puget Sound - surveyed coal lands. Later he became connected to Canadian geological surveying, (British Columbia division). Visiting Skagit County he became highly impressed with the region - he mapped the area and carefully observed the region in detail from the County as related to Puget Sound. The ship harbor of Fidalgo Island he saw as destined for a great future for connection of the sea with the continental railway. In 1877 he purchased the land that now makes up the town of Anaqcortes and and moved his family including house,, and equipment by steamer when it was a stark wilderness between water and forest. He established his pioneer home. It was not til 1887 ( ten yrs hence) that he saw the time ripe to tempt his friends in the east to invest in the region. It was at that time that the Union Pacific was making its way to Puget sound country and Bowman traveled to New York in order to "sell" the idea of Anacortes as being an site for a terminus. The Oregon Railway & Navigation Company resulted in action. Mr. Bowman did not live to see the vision he'd had for so many years fulfilled. Mr. Bowman died at his home in Anacortes which he'd established so many years earlier with his great insight for the region. He died in the year 1894 w/o experiencing the unerring results of his prophecy. Now, this Bowman may not be related in any way to the Bowman you are interested in, but in case he happened to be, I'm sure you would want to know the information above. There is a PIX (picture) of Amos Bowman with balled head + mustashe and gotee, bowtied, and white handkerchief in his left pocket. His eyes are of those of a man with "vision" not only with his eyes, but his mind and his attitude toward what he envisioned. We are in dire need of men/women like Mr. Bowman today to inspire our country with a positive vision for the Future!

The first Seattle TMG Users Group meeting of 2004 will be next Saturday, January 10, at Broadview Library, from 2:00-4:30. Discussion/presentation of the main topic begins at 2:30. The main topic this month is "Immigration and Migration", which will focus on documenting ship passenger lists and other kinds of immigration records. If time allows, we'll also discuss records that document the "migration" of our ancestors across this continent. Everyone interested in learning more about TMG (The Master Genealogist) is welcome! Seattle Public Library does not sponsor our meetings, and asks that we not park in the library's parking lot. Please find parking on the side streets around the Library. Broadview Library is located at the intersection of 130th and Greenwood Ave. N. Driving directions and a map of the neighborhood are available at the Seattle Public Library website.

The Sno-Isle Gen. Society will hold their annual "Show and Tell" session at their mtg. January 7th at 7 p.m. sharp. All who participate are expected to come prepared to show, tell, relate, expound, lie, all within a specified time of 5 minutes (like Toastmaster's International)- so organization is important. Here is an opportunity to bring out some of those weird "They Want to be Found" stories that happen when you least expect it - and suddenly "something happens" and the most unusual occurances happen around you that you wouldn't expect to happen in the name of genealogy and "the hunt". I plan to donate some of my genealogy books or information for the new Library location which will become a part of the Heritage Park and the Sno-Isle Gen Soc library source. Since I began attending the Sno-Isle Gen Soc mtgs from years past up to the present, I have discovered 3 ancestral Cousins among the groups that have attended. Bonnie Sears, now of Whidbey Island ( a Founder) and I share our Tuttle Family ancestry which ties in with my Clarks; then Margaret Summitt, a much closer ancestral tie with our Michael (Michel/Mikel Palatine German ancestry dating from the 1700s; then there was a third lady with whom I was able to visit at her home in Mill Creek which we shared ancestry from the 1600s, I have lost track of her and her name for the moment but we found our ties in either the Tuttle or Lothropp (Lothrop,Lathrop) Line. That was such a long time ago that now I can't recall her name, but I have notes on her among my souvenirs. I have 4 days to think of something to try to contribute within the 5 mins. for the Show 'n' Tell - isn't it funny how a mind goes blank when you put the DEMAND BUTTON on it !!!!!!!!! It's the d . . . . . pills! Tempest Fugit ! it says on my Grandfather Clock - will I remember something or will I have to come up with a L I E that s o u n d s good to the group! Sno-Isle Gen Soc meets at Martha Lake Community Club bldg 16300 Motor Place, Lynnwood - approx 164th & I-5, east side of hwy. If Andy Wapler sez S N O W for that nite, I ain't going !

The following article is quoted from an article by Marie LITTLE, historian for the Alderwood Manor/Lynnwood area which has been very familiar to me and has much meaning. This copy of the article is by permission of Marie Little, who reserves copyright and must not be copied without her permission. It is found in The Third Age January, 2004 issue. Her article reads as follows, followed by my Comments as I can relate to this article, its author, and many of the place noted in the article. In the Perspective On The Past, Marie Little writes: On November 25, 2002, Janice Tutmark and Mary Wickstrum shared a golden shovel at a ground breaking ceremony for a park designed to interpret the heritage of the rural community of Alderwood Manor and the City of Lynnwood. Perhaps, as the two women pushed the shovel into the ground, they were reminded of the many shovels full of dirst that had been turned on the property over the last 65 years. In 1934, Mildred and Albert Humble moved to Alderwood Manor with their daughters, Janice (14) and Mary (11). They had traded their five room house in the Ravenna District in Seattle for a two-room house on five and three quarters of acreaage located on Popular Way. "Dad wanted to live in the clountry where he could have a cow and some chickens and Mother loved gardening," recalls Mary Wickstrum of Edmonds. Joseph R. and Harriet B. Holt were getting along in years and wanted to live in town where it was more convenient and there was less work. It was common for people to trade rather than buy or sell a house during the depression when money was scarce. Janice Tutmark, who lives next door to her sister, laughted as Mary said, "We moved out on May 5th, and it was the god-asful rainiest day you ever saw." Leo Echelbarger moved everything in his truck. The furnishings from the Humble's five room house which included a piano, large leather courch that follded out to make a bed, an overstuffed chair, sewing machine, and a big Monarch kitchen range filled the two room, 12 x 24 ft. house to capacity. Two double beds and a dresser overflowed into the well house. The beds were stacked one above the other bunk-bed style, and the girls slept "overhead." They had to climb over the top of the dresser to get to their bed, and scramble over it to get to the outhouse in the middle of the night. But by the time they creawled out the next morning the sun was shining and they realized their new home was in a truly beautiful setting. Although they felt as if they were living "way ou in the country," it was a 45 minute train ride from Seattle. Mr. Humble rode the Interurban to Seattle where he worked nights as a janitor at the Alaska Building. Janice, who was a freshman at Roosevelt High School, stayed in town with a friend, riding the Interurban out to Alderwood Manor on Friday afternoons to spend weekends at their new home for the few weeks that were left in the school year. The Alderwood Manor Grade School was just a short walk for Mary as she followed Poplar to Filbert, then crossed the bridge over the Interurban tracks to Beach near the Alderwood Community Church, pas the Magnolia Feed Store and the Alderwood Mercantile which some people called "Wicker's Store." Mary enrolled in the fifth grade; although she was just completing the first semester of the sixth grade in Seattle, because the country school operated on a September through May schedule. It worked out for the best," Mary recalls, "because they were working on arithmetic problems that I had never seen before." That first summer was a busy one as everyone pitched in to work on the farm, takiing care of the animals, building chicken coops, and working in the garden. They remember helping their father harvest filberts on the Demonstration Farlm which was just across the road. They spread the nuts out to dry on racks in the basement of a building where baby chicks had hatched, before the Puget Mill Company got out of the poultry business. The building had originally been built as a hotel where prospective landowners could stay while they looked over the opportunities offered by the Puget Mill Company to own a little farm where they could raise chickens, live off the land, with hard work, become rich. The Humble family didn't realize they had moved into a community on the brink of change. Norm Collins had taken over the Central five acres of the 30 acre Demonstration Farm and had started the Washington Breeders Hatchery. Within five years, the remaining 25 acres would be subdivided and sold as one-acre "ranchettes." Even the Community Hall would be remodeled and sold as a residence and the Interurban train made its last run in 1939. Albert Hujmble was a skilled carpenter and both girls helped him add on to the little house. Janice especially remembers helping put up rafters, but with a job in town and all the other farm work to do, the family spent the first winter sleeping in the unheated well house. They would warm granite rocks in the oven of the big Monarch range, then wrap them in newpaper and a towel for carrying out to their beds. The rocks would still be warm in the morning when they woke up. Bathing was done in a galvanized wash tub in the kitchen. When they finally could move into the house with closets in the bedrooms, the girls felt as if they were living in a castle. Still, they were truly on a farm. There were chickens to feed, eggs to gather, and a cow to milk. Janice was responsible for milking the cow at 6 a.m. before she went to schoo - even if she had been out on a date until 2 a.m. Mary said she couldn't milk the cow because her fingernails were too long and the cow wouldn't cooperate; however the goats didn't seem bothered. She also had to chase the pig whe it got out. Janice remembers the pigs as well. It seems the sow began giving birth to a litter of piglets just as they were getting ready to go to her bridal shower in 1938. She married E.A. (Skeet) Tutmark on September 24, 1938, the year after they graduated from Edmonds High School. They bought a little house from Bill Geltz who operated the Magnolia Feed Store. By the time Mary graduated, the Interurban was no longer running, so she moved to Seattle to work after completing a busi-nes (sic - CC)school course. In 1942, she married Dale Holtcamp, an Ed-monds (sic CC) High School classmate, who had joined the Merchant Marine. In 1947, they returned to Alderwood Manor and settled on an acre at the sothwest corner of her parents propery on Poplar Way. They had a 32 x 24 ft. house moved on the property from Bremerton. Formerly used as navy housing, it cost them $1,750. It was nice to be living right next door to her parents and a short walk from her sister in the community of Alderwood Manor. The Humble house continued to bea work in progress. Over the years Albert had dug out a basement by hand, added a dining room, and builta deck in back that overlooked the well house that was now used for storage. When Mary and Dale put a fireplace in their house, he had a fire[lace put in and coordinated remodeling projects with their until it was difficult to tell that the house originally built in 1919, and finished during the Thirties hadn't been built in the '50s. Over the next 20 years, the neighborhood became more suburban than rural as acreage was subdivided, more houses were built, and there were more and more cars on the narrow country roads. In 1952, Janice and Skeet's house was taken out when construction was begun on Interstate 5. The Humble property was subdivided again and the Tutmarks built a new house on a lot created from half an acre of Mary's property and hald an acre of their parents' property. Albert Humble continued to work on his place in the country until he died in 1976 at age 85. His wife continued to live in the house until the mid /80s. When construction moved forward on a new freeway interchange that wiped out all but three acres of the old Demonstration Farm, Mary said, "It was time to move." The City of Lynnwood purchased the property as a site for a heritage park where they could display the restored Interurban car #55. The now historic "Wickers Building" has been moved to the park as well. A water tower built at the center of the Demonstration Farm in 1917 has been moved to the back yard of the Humble residence and The Alderwood Manor Heritage Association has been reconstructing the Superintendent's Cottage that was also located on the farm and will renovate it as a heritage resource center. Mary reminisced, "Mother was a 50 year member of the Alderwood Garden Club. She kept the gardens looking so nice that people would come over to see it as if it were a park." It seems fitting that the Humble residence will indeed be in a park, and the Alderwood Garden Club has adopted the park as a community service project. Janie Tutmark and Mary Wickstrum are also pleased that the City has prop[osed that the house their father built will be renovated to serve as the Sno-Isle Genealogical Library as construction of Phase 2 of the heritage park gets underway.

CC)family moved in - photo courtesy of the humble (sic.) family End of article not to be copied w/o permission by author Mary Little who wrote this article for the Perspective On The Past section of the January 2004 issue of The Third Age. COMMENT: Having lived in Alderwood Manor when it was still known as Alderwood Manor with its own Post Office, I can recall several items of this article. I rented a house on Spruce Way after having grad. from Western WA Univ. in 1958. I knew some of the Echelbarger Family - in fact I had and Echelbarger son/grandson at the old 1908 Alderwood Manor Grade School (mentioned) when I taught 4th grade there 1960/61 school year, about a year before the School was decommissioned as a school and became the school district administrative offices. We had genuine SLATE blackboards in that old school which I loved - and a great gym in the very center of the building. The classroom encircled the gym in those days and the chalk was truly "dustless" until one or more enterprising student decided to clap the old felt blackboard erasers together in the room rather than outside. White chalk was the chalk of the day, not the dusty yellow stuff that was to come later disgnated as "Dustless Chalk" on the wooden box. - which was yellowish and anything but dustless. I'm still coughing the stuff from back then! What great students they were!! Yup, I surely do recall the old Monarch Range stoves that were wood and or coal fired. That's where one could stand to get dressed on those cold mornings in Snohomish (my home) - between the kitchen stove and the tall galvanized hot water tank that stood nearby. The living room stove, also wood/coal would only keep one side of you warm, so the kitchen was the place to get dressed - close to the good smells of food in preparation. There was the joke about the Three Main Parts of a Stove (of that era) but it would not be appropriate here, so I will squelch further reference to it. I guess I had gotten the idea that "The Wicker's Store", or Alderwood Mercantile, was the depot for the Interurban for that was what we saw when we stopped there, but a tiny ticket shed was actually the Interurban depot, but the wainscotting of the building was so impressive that we got the idea that this was actually the Interurban Depot as we stopped there from Everett or Seattle depending on which way you were travelling. People and baggage were exchanged there producing the appearance of a Main Depot when it was actually not. I saw a picture of the actual tiny depot that Marie Little showed on a slide and I did recall seeing at when I was a very young kid, but it surely wasn't much of "depot" as I saw it !!! This article by Marie Little, with its mention of the chickens, and the hatchery, etc. all bring back the fond memories that I found when I moved to the Alderwood Manor area from Bellingham college years. I met many great persons, students, at a setting that was soon to CHANGE from the rural setting to the monstrous growth and disfigurement of freeways that erased those old landmarks, and created a whole new exchange of o l d nostalgic era to the n e w grotesque land changes that it has become, choked with traffic - the place just doen't look the same at all. Thank goodness that some of us got to see it all in a different l i g h t and at a different point in t i m e . I plan to contribute generously to the new Library facility describe above so that others can research their ancestry in an old quaint house that if it could talk it would have many great stories to tell - a part of Heritage Park uner construction.

thanks to Joy Fisher who posted the following information about ordering forms from the National Archive Website... http://www.archives.gov for those of you unaware the the National Archive Source... They have military records, and land records and much more that you can order (at a price)... but to order you have to use THEIR form ... These forms can be ordered online... and that's what the following emails about Joy said.... Hi Everyone: Looks like NARA is making some changes in their ordering system. First off, Form NATF 84 for ordering land entry records has been re-vamped. Orders submitted on the old Form 84's are being returned along with a blank new form NATF 84 and you are told to fill out the new form and re-submit it. <big sigh> I just ordered some Forms on-line. http://www.archives.gov/global_pages/inquire_form.html When I get them I will scan both the new and the old forms. In the meantime, I would suggest that if you have any Form 84's lying around that you destroy them and order a fresh batch. Second, you can now order military pension records on-line: https://eservices.archives.gov/orderonline/start.swe?SWECmd=Start bookstorelady@prodigy.net http://www.rootsweb.com/~waskagit - Skagit USGW http://www.thirdstbooks.com - 3rd St. Book Exchange http://www.facesfromthewall.com - Faces From the Wall - Vietnam/Washington

I'm responding to this posting on WASNOHOM of the rootsweb system because I see a familiar name. I'm referring to the CRANE surname. I peddled The Everett Daily Herald newspaper in Snohomish in 1939/40/41 era and Mr. Pat Crane was on my paper route and the Street was/is Union near 4th St in Snohomish about a block North of the Central School (gradeschool) top of the hill from my own home on 2nd Street. I phoned a lady who purchased the Crane home after he passed away, and she told me that Pat Crane's wife was named Margaret. (Margaret was John Crane's wife's name, also). The lady who bought the Crane house didn't know other members of that family - she did mention a son of Pat and Margaret Crane but knew nothing about him. Since I live very near the GAR Cemetery where you say John Crane was buried, perhaps I can go out there and see what info I can find from the cem. records - tho' the "Secrecy Thing" applies these days so that may not be possible, unless I can locate the grave site on my own or with some "help" - LOL!!! I know that Patrick CRANE was an accomplished GEOLOGIST as each year he'd present a display of his mineral collection on his lawn near the concrete steps that went to the first level of the yard. School children who studied Science would file by and Pat would explain the various kinds of minerals, which fascinated all of us. His collection of excellent SILVER in its natural state was always a highlight. Natural chunks of MICA were among the various interesting items he showed us. His displays sparked my/ours interest in slicing GEODES in order to see the beautiful displays of natural geological formations that formed within what appeared on the outside of the geodes to be non-descript and uninteresting. Inside were beautiful "scenes" and crustaceons that were truly Nature's Beauty from the Earth. He was a state geologist or a geologist of quite some importance back when we knew him so hopefully he left some records of his accomplishments to be found. Carroll Clark, in Snohomish WA about 8/10ths of a mile or less from the GAR Cem. just outside of Snohomish City - an excellent cem. and very well cared for. w7iml@gte.net * * * 30 * * * ----- Original Message ----- From: <KZWestre61@aol.com> To: <WASNOHOM-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, December 24, 2003 12:31 AM Subject: [WASNOHOM] Re: Crane Family from Everett > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Surnames: Crane, Howard, Hulbert, Thornton, Kremer, Kramer > Classification: Query > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/VEC.2ACI/280.487 > > Message Board Post: > > Researching John Crane b/abt 1841 Canada m Margaret 1854 ILL children James, May, Ellen b/ILL Catherie, John, Margaret, Patrick, Elizebeth b/NE.
