Who could find anything about the Mortland Manufacturing Co. located in South Seattle from about 1907 - 1912 at the corner of 8th. Avenue and Snoqualmie. This query was posed to me via Kathleen and Mike way back in NY - friends who have e-mailed me many times re my articles that I have posted to both WASNOHOM & PSRoots in the past. Mike has roots and fond memories of his ol' stomping grounds out this way, and Kathleen loves to capture the memories that appear of the life he left from out this way. Kathleen is an easterner, but she greatly appreciates Mikes memories of his western roots, so she tends to see that he learns more about those roots. Above is their latest query, so if anyone could come up with some information about Mortland Mf. Co. in S. Seattle from that time period, that would be great. We just lost our super sleuth, John Sloniker who was a Past Master at shagging such Queries. He knew just how to ferret those questions that so many had and he'd come up with the answer or provide fodder for it! Kathleen and Mike have have a new grandchild -their 7th who will make her debut in August. They already know that it will be a little girl, and another part of their genealogy. It is interesting to me that I get busy or procrastinate getting back to so many people who write me. Several times I see names of persons that I have e-mailed with in the past and I wonder how they are doing, etc. These strong thoughts and concerns must elicit some form of ESP, or something, as I have had that happen several times with Kathleen and her husband Mike back there in NY. I get to wondering about them and think I must e-mail them and lo and behold I suddenly get some e-mail from them and I think - is it ESP, or just conincidence. It lies in that realm of They Want to Be Found pheonomena that we have discussed on here in the past. Whatever it is, it is Great and it pleases me when it works. Naturally, I thank Kathleen for e-mailing me and I hope that someone can come up with some feedback on the Mortland Manufacturing Co. of S. Seattle. I wonder if that could have been the Georgetown area -anyway it seems to ring a bell in my past memory but not from 1912, as I didn't arrive until 1924 and I don 't remember that too well!
