Hello - I'm hoping that some kind list member will be able to locate an obit or other information about a Catherine A. PACKWOOD who died Dec. 29, 1988 in Seattle. If I'm really lucky, she was the wife/widow of Wesley R. PACKWOOD - and the mother of daughters Genevive and Virginia - and perhaps other children. Wesley's mother ( who was a sister to my grandmother) died when her children were very young, and it has been most difficult to trace them at all If I'm not so lucky, I will have at least eliminated a possibility! With thanks in advance for any help on this, Kaye Steward Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

I've "rescued" an old photograph identified as Olive COLESON. The photograph was taken by the Fowler View Company in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The photograph is dated 1899 and pictures a woman and young girl in front of a house with another woman pictured in an upstairs window. The little girl appears to be about 6 years old with the two women in their 20's to 40's. Based on limited research, I was able to locate information regarding Olive I. COLESON daughter of Ira W. & Estella COLESON. The family is traced through various census records as follows: Big Rapids, MI - 1900 census: Ira W. COLESON, age 40, born Mar 1860, married 10 years, born IL, parents born NY, a Mason Estella COLESON, wife, age 32, born Mar 1868, married 10 years, 3 children/3 living, born OH, parents born OH Elsie P.

Forwarding this to the Walla Walla list as Dr. N. G. Blalock was a pioneer of this area.... Tracy in Edmonds -----Original Message----- From: Shelley Cardiel [mailto:cardiels@comcast.net] Sent: Tuesday, June 27, 2006 6:01 AM To: WAKING-L@rootsweb.com Subject: BLALOCK Family Photographs I've "rescued" two old photographs which both belong to the BLALOCK Family. The first is a photograph of Y. C. BLALOCK which was taken at the McKinney Studio in Walla Walla, Washington. The photograph was likely taken in the early 1900's with Mr. BLALOCK appearing to be in his 40's at the time it was taken. The second photograph is identified as Phoebe BLALOCK. This second photograph was not taken in a studio; however, she appears to be about 4 years old at the time it was taken, likely in the 1890's or early 1900's. Based on limited research and thanks to the assistance of a BLALOCK Family Researcher I believe that these are photographs of Yancey Crawford BLALOCK M. D. and his daughter Phoebe Irene BLALOCK. Yancey was b. 3 Aug 1859 in Spruce Pine, NC, the son of Dr. Nelson Gales BLALOCK (son of Jesse BLALOCK and Ura LIPPS). Yancey married 3 times, (1) Julia SANDERSON died giving birth to their son Jesse Nelson BLALOCK (2) Stella Agnes MARNIER died childless (3) Lillian BALLOU gave birth to Phoebe Irene on 5 April 1894 in Walla Walla, WA. Yancey died in Walla Walla, WA in 1921. Phoebe BLALOCK earned a Masters Degree in Marine Biology and taught for years in the Seattle Public Schools. Phoebe died 7 Jan 1996 in San Juan County, WA having lived on both Lopez Island and in Port Stanley. Both 1900 and 1910 census information for the family is as follows: 1900 census of Walla Walla: Y.
