I live in Shelton, and lived in Thurston County for more years than I care to admit to. Would be happy to help you if I can. They have an excellent Historical Society downtown with intact newspapers they are willing to copy obits, and other pertinent articles for a donation. Also, There is a road between Shelton and Olympia called the Hurley-Waldrip Road. I know that there is some documentation of the Hurley family in Mason County. Evelyn
