Hello List, I recently sent a letter to the Fern Hill Cemetery Association, 2208 Roosevelt, Aberdeen, WA 98520. This post of March 8 directed me to a url with that address... [This is the link to Mary Marks page on Grays harbor County Cemetaries. http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Hills/6201/cemeteries.html ] However, the letter was retured, "Undeliverable as addressed, unable to forward". Does anyone have a more recent address? I e-mailed Mary Marks about the problem, but I have not heard back from her as of yet. Thanks. JB Wilson, Beaverton, OR :-) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ JB Wilson, Beaverton, OR, USA "Searching for the Living, Honoring the Dead" <designs@hevanet.com> Researching: Kangas, Eskola, Mattson/Matson, Makkonen, Aho, Runtujärvi, Barnes, Benedict, Crandle/Crandall, Miner, Ufford, Williams NY/PA Proud to be a Contributing Sponsor of RootsWeb ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wa Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Wa/GraysHarbor/10085 Surname: Palmer ------------------------- Anything further on this Palmer: age, names of wife, children, etc.? I've lived this area all my life and the only Palmers I knew of for an Elma, Grays Harbor, address was a park ranger for several years. I don't remember how long after I graduated from the school at Matlock in 1964 that he passed away. And now I'm 'stumbling' for a name as I know this Palmer's nickname was Doc, I think. A tad bit more info if this is your person. It's difficult to pinpoint people from the past because of the way the mail route is set up. Elma addys go clear to Matlock, but they are in Mason County and have Shelton phones.
