Hi Ellen: I'm in Centralia-Prather sounds familiar to me from Morton-Glenoma area. Write or call the Lewis County Historical Museum at 599 NW Front Street, Chehalis WA 98532 - Phone: 748-0831. The two women who man the genealogical library there are both named Margaret - they have obits, land records, a few city-county directories and family histories. Lots of filed paper. If they have anything they need a stamped envelope to send it and like to have a couple bucks, they have very little budget. I have offered to get them on the net, they have computers but they havn't taken me up on it. Maybe this winter I'll try again. Good Luck!
