"Echos of the Blue and Gray" A time to remember the original veterans of the greater Everett area. What: The dedication of a monument and ceremony to honor and remember the several hundred Civil War Veterans that rest at Evergreen Cemetery. Why: On Sept 10, 1899, the Grand Army of the Republic veterans organization, purchased a section of the cemetery to bury their needy comrades. Later the GAR tried to raise money for a monument to honor all, but the effort failed and now, one hundred years later, we want to fulfill those wishes and finalize those noble efforts that were lost and forgotten so long ago. When: Saturday, September 10, 2005 - 2:00 PM at the GAR Section near the Lych Gate in the pioneer section of Evergreen Cemetery. Confirmed and desired participants: Washington Civil War Association, David Dilgard, Historian and curator of the Northwest Room, Jim Shipman, Evergreen Cemetery historian, Rev. Charles Jackson, Second Baptist Church, Everett, US Congressman or Senator, Mayor of Everett, Sons of Union Veterans and Sons of the Confederecy. The Ceremony will include a flag ceremony, dedication of the monument, speakers, reenactors, representing both the North and the South and a Civil War cannon salute. Organizations of a Historical or Military nature are invited to have a table set up with their information available. Contact Jim Shipman for exhibit tables reservations. 425-330-7937. bookstorelady@prodigy.net http://www.rootsweb.com/~waskagit - Skagit USGW http://www.thirdstbooks.com - 3rd St. Book Exchange http://www.facesfromthewall.com - Faces From the Wall - Vietnam/Washington

I would like to find a copy of an obituary for Cora Langley, if it exists, who died in Seattle on March 16, 1908. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ok... this is coming to Seattle... but I thought the Snohomish people might be interested... webpage.... http://storycorps.net/ newspaper .... Families gather to share history Associated Press MOSCOW, Idaho - Katherine Sterling sat with her 90-year-old mother Catherine for an hour inside a gleaming Airstream trailer with dark-tinted windows, asking about her life, her most memorable moments, her biggest regrets and other personal questions as a technician recorded the conversation. They were the first people in Idaho to participate in the traveling StoryCorps "Mobile Booth" project, a 10-year effort to collect remembrances from a quarter-million Americans from around the country and preserve them digitally for participants, local historical societies and the Library of Congress. "I had my mother here today because we take every opportunity like this," Katherine Sterling, 57, told the Lewiston Tribune. "We never know if we're going to have another one." Considered the most ambitious oral-history project ever undertaken, the soundproof Airstream trailer studio that arrived in this north-central Idaho community Thursday for two weeks of recording sessions has borne witness to tales of immigration in New York, stories about the Dust Bowl and the Depression in North Dakota, and reminiscing about forests in Montana. In the hundreds of interviews that have taken place since the portable project hit the road May 19 in Washington, D.C., the box of tissues on the table between two orange couches is frequently used. "Sometimes it's life-changing for people," said James Angelos, 29, a StoryCorps facilitator from Brooklyn, N.Y., who is recording interviews. "It's a sacred space that's created." He and other facilitators brief the questioner and subject on interviewing techniques before turning on the microphones. Afterward, they catalog the topics discussed in a database that future researchers will use. National Public Radio is also broadcasting select interviews during the undertaking. "I thought it was a great way to preserve family history," said Kathy Dahmen, 60, who brought her 83-year-old father, Rinehart Dahmen, for an interview. Both are from Pullman, Wash., a few miles west across the state line. "She wants to see what I can dig up, you know," said Rinehart, who worked at the Washington State University creamery for 28 years making ice cream, milk and cheese. Katherine Sterling said the memories captured from her mother are as much for future generations of Sterlings as they are for academic researchers. "I like to think a great-great-grandchild might pick up the CD sometime and receive a message they might be looking for," she said. "I would encourage everyone who has a loved one, family member or enemy - interview them." The Mobile Booth will travel to Seattle for two weeks of interviewing from Sept. 7-26. bookstorelady@prodigy.net http://www.rootsweb.com/~waskagit - Skagit USGW http://www.thirdstbooks.com - 3rd St. Book Exchange http://www.facesfromthewall.com - Faces From the Wall - Vietnam/Washington

Hello Steven, Did you get an answer to your Dodd request? If not, here it is: John G. Dodd and his wife Emma G. are living in Seattle in the household of her daughter Daisy G. (Year: 1930; Census Place: Seattle, King, Washington; Roll: 2496; Page: 3A; Enumeration District: 81) - Corwin, Howard, Head, M, W, 49, Married, 31 when married, Ohio, US, US, Sales manager, Hard wood - Corwin, Daisy G., Wife, F, W, 49, Married, 31 when married, Nebraska, Canada English, Pennsylvania - Corwin, Jane, Daughter, F, W, 15, Single, WA, OH, NE - Corwin, Frances, Daughter, F, W, 13, Single, WA, OH, NE - Dodd, John G., Father-in-law, M, W, 75, Married, 25 when married, Canada English, Scotland, North Ireland, 1892, Naturalized - Dodd, Emma G., Mother-in-law, F, W, 72, Married, 22 when married, Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania - Dodd, Marion E., Cousin, F, W, 49, Single, Canada English, Canada English, Canada English, Nurse Reg, Hospital I found them also in the 1920, 1910, 1900 Looks like John G. Dodd came to the State in 1870 and finally got naturalized in 1892. In the 1900 census their first daughter is born in NE, so I looked in there and found this: Nebraska Marriages, 1856-1898 Name: John G. Dodd Gender: Male Spouse Name: Emma Spanogle Marriage Date: 21 Oct 1879 County: Adams Source: Record of this marriage may be found at the Family History Library under microfiche reference number(s) 6087685. In 1880 they already married and living in Denver, Adams County, Nebraska. That last name sounded weird so I tracked it down and found Emma with her parents in PA. His parents are Jacob and Hannah Spanogle. In 1860 they lived in Saville, Perry Co., PA, where Emma was probably born. In 1870 they are in Philadelphia. Hope this helps, Francisco

To MarkWakefield@hotmail.com Saunders was the son of a man who at one time served as U.S. District Attorney for the city of Seattle. He participated in World War I as a pilot in the U.S. Flying Corps and became a flight instructor. After the war, he attended the University of Washington, became a Rhodes scholar, and earned a master's degree from Oxford University in 1923. He returned to the United States to work as a journalist for several New York papers, and contributed stories to magazines such as Cosmopolitan and Liberty. Two of his early stories were bought by the Famous Players-Lasky production company and became the films Too Many Kisses (1925), which is about a wealthy young man who is sued for breach of promise, and The Shock Punch (1925), which concerns a rich man who poses as a boxer. Saunders next proposed a film project to Jesse L. Lasky based on his unfinished novel, Wings, the story of two American pilots fighting in France during World War I. Lasky bought the screen rights for the unpubl! ished novel for the unprecedented sum of $39,000 and hired William Wellman to direct a cast that included Charles "Buddy" Rogers and Richard Arlen as the American pilots, Clara Bow as the girl they both love, and a supporting cast of 3,500 servicemen and pilots on loan from the U.S. War Department. The film was an outstanding success, both critically and popularly, and won the first Academy Award ever presented for Best Picture in 1927-28. Saunders' book was published after the release of the film and included stills from motion picture. As a powerful screenwriter John Monk Sanders was known for his World War I aviator, stories, novels, and films. John was a flyer of military aircraft, and a natural leader. After John won his first Osker for the writing and filmography of Wings in 1931. He set a standard for presentation of the aviator movie genre for screenwriters in the industry. It was said John was born in New York his young life was stylized as a rich mans well educated son. At some point John was offered a scholarship to Oxford. See film Yank at Oxford 1938. Young Saunders soon becomes a Rhodes scholar. World War One may have just stopped John's collage progress at the Army recruitment stand. If John started in to collage in about 1915 there would hardly be enough time to finish more than 2 full years of collage. If John had not finish that much collage the US Army would not have offered a 21 year old. John Monk Saunders the placement in the Army Air Corps as a second lieutenant. The United States Army Air Corps entered WW 1 late in the war. This is why the Army Air Corps men and their aircraft really saw less participation in World War 1. The Untied States certainly from the begging of their participation in war didn't have many of there own aircraft to fly. Flying these early WW1 aircraft under wartime maintenance conditions was as terrifying as the air combat at times. In the early part of the Great War the French Government allowed Americans at Lafayette Escadrille to become flyers in the early world of air combat. Perhaps you would like to see Lafayette Escadrille (1958.) John Monk Sanders was a journalist he worked for the New York Tribune and then later possibly moved out to sunny California to work for the Los Angeles Times. So in the early 1920's John must have entered in to the work world. In Hollywood's growing film industry there was a need for better film writers. This may have been the very reason for John Monk Sanders note worthy appearance in the west. By late 1924 John had written his first story for screen known, "Too many Kisses 1925." End M M W All rep.
