Long in the county court. They were married at Parsons, Kansas, July 23, 1899 and the mother is granted the custody of three children. The decree was granted on the grounds of infidelity. ========== Colorado Springs Gazette Colorado Springs, Colorado Wednesday, August 22, 1917 Page 7, Column 3 City Hall - Courthouse Joseph J. Boatz of Colorado Springs and Gratia A. Long of Pueblo were married yesterday by Justice Rudy. ========== The Seattle Daily Times Saturday Evening, March 25, 1922 Page 3, Column 2 Daily Statistics In Divorce Court Divorce complaints were filed in the Superior Court today by Marvel Ely against Hagan H. Ely, nonsupport ========== The Seattle Daily Times Thursday, October 15, 1925 Page 1, Column 5 Neal And Wife, Bon Marche Bandit Suspects, Caught Joe O. Neal, former Seattle policeman and his wife, Mrs. May Neal, Bon Marche hold up suspects, were caught last night in Minneapolis. A family quarrel which caused the summoning of police to their apartment resulted in their arrest. Although Neal first gave the name of Charles McCall, later he admitted his identity, but not until he had struck one policeman and nearly escaped. Neal and his wife have been sought since February 16, when they failed to appear in the King County Superior Court for trial on a charge of taking part in the $22,000 hold up of Bon Marche employees August 8, 1924. Neal's $10,000 bond and his wife's $5,000 bond were forfeited. Neal also was at liberty on $5,000 bond on a charge of robbing the Canadian Bank of Commerce in Vancouver, British Columbia of $19,000 June 1924. Speedy Extradition Sought King County official and Detective Chief Charles Tennant today began preparations to obtain extradition of the Neals and their speedy trial. Seattle officers will be sent to Minneapolis to return them. The apartment in which Neal and his wife were arrested was at 11 East 17th Street, Minneapolis. The noise of their quarrel caused other tenants to summon three motorcycle patrolmen. They found Neal threatening his wife with a knife. He was disarmed, but on the way to the street slugged Patrolman Clayton Sewall, broke away and ran. Other officers recaptured him. At the police station Neal admitted his identity. The trial of three other defendants, Edward Lee Fasick, proprietor of the [sic] went on after the Neals fled from Seattle. The three were convicted February 19. Fasick and Dooley were sentenced to serve from seven to fifteen years in prison The Fasicks appealed, Mrs. Fasick being at liberty on bonds and Fasick being held in county jail. Dooley is serving his sentence without an appeal. The robbery occurred at 2:30 o'clock the afternoon of August 8 at the crowded entrance of the Bon Marche on Union Street, just west of Second Avenue. As James M. Telfer and J.H. Whelan, employees, came out of the store with the $14,000 cash and $8,000 checks in satchels, three men jumped out of a slowly moving automobile, snatched the satchels, fired two shots and jumped back into their car, in which were two other men. Neal Captured Patrolmen J.M. Kokesh and George Cowan happened by as the crowd gathered and chased the bandit car to the waterfront, where the bandits got out. Neal was captured on the scene. Ross C. Watson, former city detective, who is awaiting trial on the $42,000 Nanaimo bank robbery charge, was charged with complicity in the Bon Marche robbery but this charge was dismissed before he was extradited to Canada. John Callahan, arrested near Mount Vernon last spring, pleaded guilty March 20 and received a sentence of from twenty to fifty years in prison. Confession Solved Hold Up The Bon Marche hold up was solved principally through the confession of Norris W. Lockwood, a porter in the store, that he had aided the bandits and had helped them plan the robbery in Fasick's soft drink place. Lockwood was released July 1 on a suspended five to fifteen year sentence, but is available to testify against Neal, Mr. Colvin says. Neals Seen During Hold Up Two women who were chatting on the street corner just before the robbery also gave material evidence for the state. One of them knew Neal and said she saw Neal, his wife and the other defendants loitering about the store entrance and giving various signals to each other just before the robbery. This witness is the mother of Frank Stevens, alias Steve Montrose, also a fugitive in connection with the Louis Barei hijack murders at Coalfield, for which two former policemen and two other men were sentenced to life terms. ========== The Seattle Daily Times Sunday Morning, November 22, 1925 Page 10, Column 5 $15,000 Bond of Neals Is Ordered Forfeited Forfeiture of $15,000 bail bond for Joe and May Neal, who fled from this state to Minneapolis while charged with robbery, has been ordered by the State Supreme Court, it was learned yesterday by Prosecutor Ewing D. Colvin. The case was carried to the high court by Sidney Brunn and E.S. Turner, bail bond agents. Neal pleaded guilty last week to the charge of participating in the Bon Marche robbery and was sentenced to twenty to thirty years at Walla Walla State Penitentiary. Mrs. Neal was acquitted on the same charge. When Mrs. Neal fled from Seattle she deserted her two small children by a former marriage. Since that time the children have been given to the custody of her former husband. ========== The Seattle Times Friday, November 17, 1944 Page 24, Column 3 Couple, 75 And 74 Years Old, Are Divorced An elderly couple - both in their 70's - were divorced yesterday at an uncontested hearing before Superior Judge Clay Allen. Mrs. Lilla A. Boats, 75 years old, testified that she and her husband, Joseph J. Boatz, 73, were married May 1, 1920. Both had been married before, she added. Questioned by her counsel, W.B. Magee, as to "the trouble between you and your husband," Mrs. Boatz said Boatz "used profane language regularly and would go for weeks at a time without hardly speaking." She added that he was "ugly and cranky." "Who paid the bills?" inquired Magee. "I did," said Mrs. Boatz. She added that her husband left her July 29 and moved to Idaho. She earns her living, she explained, taking in boarders at her home, 2901 Fourth Avenue West. Judge Allen awarded her an interlocutory decree of divorce. ========== The Seattle Times Tuesday, September 7, 1965 Page 27, Column 7 Orin A. Spencer Funeral services for Orin A.

So declared Guy Whitcomb, brother of May Neal now with her husband in the county jail, when he left Seattle June 25. "Cut a little, but I've put Joe Neal where he belongs." This laconic telegram, received by Mrs. Lilla Boatz, 2910 Fourth Avenue West, his and the girl's mother, completes the story of the capture of the two Bon Marche robbery suspects brought back to Seattle yesterday from Minneapolis, where they had fled while under heavy bond awaiting trial here. Today this mother sees her daughter for the first time since the girl fled from Seattle last June with the man who, the mother says, "has dragged my daughter down with him to ruin." The details of the capture, effected by May's brother bent on revenge against Joe Neal, were revealed today by Mrs. Boatz. "I knew definitely the day before they left that they planned to leave," said Mrs. Boatz in her Queen Anne Hill home. "I urged her not to jump bond and called up Prosecutor Colvin and warned him. But they left the next day before they could be stopped. Then came the search by Guy, May's brother, working alone. He went east to Minneapolis where the fugitives were believed to have fled. Then he worked in the fields of North Dakota, later returning to Minneapolis. How he found the Neals there, Mrs. Boatz does not known, but a knife battle with Joe Neal in the Neals' apartment revealed the fugitives to the authorities. Mrs. Boatz talked with her daughter in the King County Jail this afternoon. She refused, however, to see or talk to her son-in-law. ========== The Seattle Daily Times Sunday Morning, November 1, 1925 Page 31, Column 3 Mothers Try to Comfort Mrs. Boatz, Whose Daughter Is Held for Bon Marche Robbery Touched by the motherly love with which Mrs. Lilla Boatz, 2901 Fourth Avenue West, mother of Mrs. May Neal, held with her husband, Joe Neal, for complicity in the Bon Marche $22,000 robbery, has been trying to protect and comfort her daughter, many Seattle mothers have written their sympathy and expressions of comfort to Mrs. Boatz, she said yesterday. Mrs. Boatz's efforts to stick to her daughter have been repulsed by Mrs. Neal, who, despite her mother's wishes, has announced her intention of remaining steadfast to her husband. The Neals were arrested in Minnesota after they broke bond here and fled. "I hope that the prayers of many Seattle mothers shall go out to urge strength for you and your daughter in your time of need," said one of the letters received by Mrs. Boatz. It was signed "A Seattle Mother." All of the letters express understanding and sympathy with the mother and the hope that her mother love will be rewarded. ========== The Seattle Daily Times Monday, January 24, 1938 Page 10, Column 5 Bride-Elect Miss Maxine Wilma Boatz, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph J.

Gordon was a professional baseball pitcher for Seattle in the northwest League. Shortly after the marriage ceremony, Gordon was assigned to pitch against the Tacoma Tigers, who batted him out of the box with a six run second inning. The sports pages the next day featured Gordon's experience with headlines like this: "Tigers Show No Mercy to Groom" and "Bad Honeymoon Start." The Gordons can laugh now about the incident, their marriage having lasted 50 years despite what the sports writers said about its beginning. An anniversary reception is planned between 2 and 5 o'clock tomorrow at the Lamplighter Inn at Chico, Kitsap County. After retiring from professional baseball in 1916, Gordon worked at the Bremerton Naval Shipyard until 1951. Since then, the Gordons have had a trailer, living in Bremerton in the summer and in Arizona in the winter. The Gordons have a son, John M. Gordon, Oswego, Oregon and two grandchildren. Mrs. Gordon, the former Floy Rerick, was born in Primghar, Iowa. The Methodist minister who baptized here as a baby in Primghar, the Rev. E.L.

I've "rescued" an old photograph of Margaret STRANG which was taken at the Alvord Studio in McMinnville, Oregon. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880's or 1890's with Margaret appearing to be in her 20's or 30's at the time it was taken. Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding Margaret and her family: Margaret STRANG b. 1876 married Alonzo or Alonso or Alonza DeLambertine COPLEN (b. 15 Dec 1862 in Council Bluff, IA - d. 1928 in Seattle WA) on 25 Feb 1897 in Yamhill, OR and together they had three children including, Margaret G.; George W.; and Jean A. COPLEN. Census records provide the following details: 1900 census of Spokane, WA: Alonzo COPLEN, age 37, born Dec 1862, married 3 years, born IA, parents born OH/SC Margaret S. COPLEN, wife, age 24, born Jan 1876, married 3 years, 2 children/2 living, born MN, parents born Scotland Margaret COPLEN, dau, age 1, born Jul 1898, born WA Baby COPLEN, son, age 4 months, born Mar 1900, born WA Lewis COPLEN, brother, age 46, born Sept 1853, born OH, parents born OH/SC, a Farmer Margaret STRANG, mother-in-law, age 49, born Apr 1851, married 28 years, 11 children/9 living, born Scotland, parents born Scotland, to USA 1872 James STRANG, brother-in-law, age 18, born Jun 1881, born MN, parents born Scotland, at School Archie STRANG, brother-in-law, age 13, born Mar 1887, born MN, parents born Scotland, at School 1910 census of Spokane, WA: Alonza COPLEN, age 46, married 13 years, born IA, parents born OH/MO, an Engineer Margaret A.
