My GF and GM were divorced sometime prior to that year in Lewis or Thurston County. I don't have any idea when but GF died in 1926. I checked for anything in Lewis County but found nothing. I know they lived in Centralia or Chehalis so my first thought was to check Lewis. Where are Thurston County's records archived. Thanks for the assist. GF James Byron Lowe GM Alice Maud (Ruttan) Lowe. Of course if anyone could help me find any info on them of any sort I'd be overjoyed. George Byron Lowe >> George, Thurston and Lewis county records are at the SW Regional Archives in Olympia. They mostly house the pre-June 1907 records. But if you have ever been there you know they have a lot of material that is post 1907. I even found one of the huge ledger books that was marriage records into the 1980s!!! Wayne and Lannie are the archivists there and they are just a pleasure to work with. Wayne and Lannie's office number is 360-753-1684 and the main Archive phone number is 360-586-1492.
