Hopkins Lumber Co. >From what I read, Pialschie, WA Territory was N and W of Auburn, WA. I wonder what it would be called today? Carroll in Snohomish. I have a lot of e-mail stating that they wish everyone would include their location as it does prove valuable to persons reading the postings. Most are well acquainted, but in the deluge of info that we sift, including the town, city, loc in each Topic would help many to make better communications. It is just a suggestion that has been mentioned quite a number of times among genealogists. * * * 30 * * * ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
