In trying to track down some of the loose Partee family ends, my aunt told me that Florence Partee, daughter of John Bernard Partee and Katherine Keefe was put into the Good Shepherd Home and she thought it was in Seattle. There must be a tragic story behind this family as John or "Uncle Bern" as he was known by, disappeared and resurfaced years later destitute and living in the skid row section of downtown Seattle. John was born to Lewis and Hannah Louisa (Cassil) Partee March 24, 1877 in Defiance, OH. He married Katherine Keefe on September 17, 1900, only child Florence (that the family bible record shows). John had a photography business in Snohomish, WA. According to family tradition he is buried in Monroe I.O.O.F. cemetery near his parents. I would like to locate records on Florence. Her mother, according to my aunt, was the daughter of Dr. Keefe, a prominent physician in Snohomish at the turn of the century. Anyone have any suggestions? Thank you.
