Shirley, Thank you for the offer. Will let you know when I'm coming down to Cowlitz County. It may be a couple of months. I am planning on sticking around long enough to obtain the 1900 property purchase, visit the library in Longview and see if I can physically locate where the house was on the 40 acre parcel. I have a copy of a 1946 Metzker map that indicates the property belonged to the county at that time, so........ I doubt if it still does.. but, it may be a park or some other public place.

You are very welcome. If I wasn't in the process of proofreading my newsletter for publication, I would have looked up the address. I have family there. Never could understand why called Lone Fir because most of it is in a grove of huge fir trees!

Can anyone tell me where this is located?? Thanks, shirley :)

Dear listers, checking in with a few paragraphs: Researching the Pittelkau family of Cowlitz County. My goal is to discover when they moved there. So far a Property Tax Record Book for the County places them there in 1891. [It appears that they moved to Seattle in 1911, about one year after their home burned during a forest fire] Family Lore indicates that they lived there in 1887. The property tax records prior to 1889 indicate that they lived about 2.5 miles NE of Carrolls on one of two 40 acre parcels. In addition, the 1900 Census indicates that the family lived in the Owl Creek Precinct. Owl Creek runs through the most northern of the two 40 acre parcels and is probably where their home was. The memoirs of Frank L. Bayley indicates that my Grandfather, August Pittelkau, purchased his "homestead" from him in 1900. I have yet to locate this place but intend to. As far as I can ascertain, Frank (Sep 3, 1892), George (Nov 28, 1894), Arthur (Feb 18, 1898) and Esther (Oct 8, 1902) were all born in the ranch house. I still need to take a look at the newspapers for these years and see if there were birth announcements of some kind. I also need to take a look at the 1909 and 1910 papers to see if there is mention of the fire indicated in the 1st paragraph. Family lore has it that they moved to Kelso after the fire and stayed there for a year or two. August Pittelkau became a U.S. Citizen in the Probate Court of Cowlitz County in 1896. In looking at the Cowlitz County Probate Court record for that year I found a tremendous number of people becoming citizens in that court at that time. It appears to me that there must have been some kind of government program or legislation that required all aliens to become citizens during that year. Many, like my grandfather had applied for citizenship in other states. These documents, to include the original Petitions for Citizenship that were completed in other states and places are located in the Washington State Regional Archives in Olympia. In addition, I recently discovered, through the Oregon State Archives, a marriage record for Klickitat County as follows: H H Langmaak of Klickitat County (Washington Territory) and Johanna Pittelkau of Multnomah County, married December 12, 1884 at the house of Mr. Joseph Enginger . Witnesses: J E DeLyones and Anna Loosli. Mr. Joseph Enginger was married to August's sister Anna. Anna and Joseph were married in Portland in September 1882. I need to discover who Johanna Pittelkau was and where she lived after the marriage. I also have a Website at http://www.users.uswest.net/~hpittelkau/ where I post data that I find on the family.

Checking in for the Cowlitz County Roll Call: I live in Portland, Oregon but grew up in Kelso (Lexington), Washington and Aberdeen, Washington. This is the information I posted last year, with some updates and additions. Wiley (or Wylie) Bradford BROWN was born 14 April 1849 in Illinois, the son of John Sidney BROWN, born 16 August 1820 in Cooperstown, New York, son of UNKNOWN and Irena BRADFORD; and Wilhelmina Louisa WYLIE, daughter of Daniel WYLIE and Elizabeth JERVIS. They married about 1846. Wiley Bradford Brown died about 23 July 1913 in Lexington (Cowlitz County), Washington. He lived in Wisconsin, Kansas, and Iowa before moving to the Auburn, Washington area and then to Cowlitz County. His children started school in a little settlement called Stuck, Washington near the Stuck River east of Auburn. Wiley Bradford Brown's Iowa marriage license gave his occupation as "artist." His obituary described him as a "prosperous farmer in Lexington." He was a fine artist and a number of his paintings are in the hands of his granddaughters--my mother and her cousin. Wiley Bradford Brown is buried in what used to be the IOOF Cemetery in Kelso; now it is Cowlitz View Gardens. I visited the cemetery in 1998 and located the gravesite using the cemetery records, but there is no headstone. Wiley had a brother named Francis Marion Brown who owned a candy store in Kelso called "Palace of Sweets." They had three sisters: Lillian Elizabeth (Lilly), Marietta Eliza (Etta), and Julietta. Wiley Bradford Brown married Anna Mary MOYER 03 November 1885 in Tama, Iowa. Her parents were Francis Xerxes MOYER and Marianna RINDLE, both born in Bavaria, Germany. Wiley and Anna traveled from Iowa to Washington in a covered wagon. Anna Mary Moyer was one of 12 children in a Catholic family. She renounced her religion to marry Wiley Bradford Brown, and her parents subsequently renounced her. However, her siblings stayed in touch and several of them followed the couple to the Northwest a few years later. Surnames: BROWN, BRADFORD, MOYER, WYLIE, RINDLE Other names associated with this family in Cowlitz County: BAGGE, BURDETTE, ERLAND, OGILVY/OGILVIE, MUNK, SCHUMANN Nancy Christie Portland, Oregon mailto:christie@bmb.ogi.edu

It is a Pioneer cemetery in Multnomah County, Portland, OR Jeannie :)
