Hi guys...

Lewis WW 1 Date: Sat, 23 Aug 2003 13:50:56 -0700 Thanks for all the input on my request about my mother's first husband. This is written in my mother's excellent writing on the lid of the box that contains their marriage certificate. Also written is born Aug. 3, 1893, died Nov. 19, 1918. Right after this is "Siemscary,Wn". Then, Richard Kenneth Wilmont, Pvt.115th Spruce Squad, Ft. Lewis, Washington. That is all the information I have of him, except the marriage license, May 17, 1918. And that is all except that he was from Portland, Oregon, and was from a prominent family. They were only married 6 months, and then she didn't marry again until 1923. The information about the spruce division is really great. thanks, again.

I haven't heard of Siemscary... and I'm not goin' to guess that it was a joke... semi-scary.... Let me ask around and see if someone can help identify it... I did not find it on the Washington Place Names List... created back in the 1930's which contains many obsolute names... http://www.tpl.lib.wa.us/v2/nwroom/WaNames.htm Darilee Albany Regional Museum <armuseum@peak.org> wrote: I am searching for more information about my mother's first husband, Prvt.Richard Kenneth Wilmont who served at Ft.Lewis as a Prvt. in 115th Spruce Squad in Beween May 1918 and Nov. 19 1918 when he died of the epdemic influenza. My records show that they were likving at Siemscary, Wn. when he died. I was trying to contact the town of Siemscary but can find no such listing. Do you people know of such a town? I'd appreceate any information you might have.
