My father took my out to the Claquato Cemetery on Saturday. I was surpised at how BIG it is. The older graves in the center have the usual stones, but the majority of the cemetery has flat stones so as you look across the fields all you can see are the short hedges and the flowers over the graves. I prefer the look of the older stones rather than the flat easy to mow stones. Directions: Heading South on I-5, take Hwy 6 exit and go to the right (toward Claquato). A mile or two down take a R on Chilvers Rd and an immediate L on Stearns Rd. As you head up the hill (about a 1/4 mile or less) the cemetery is on your R. I found most of the stones I was looking for, but I may have more relatives there. They have an office in their mosoleum (sp?) in the rear of the cemetery. I plan to call to see if they have a list of those buried there.

That would be Fern Hill Cemetery. Take the 3rd Chehalis exit (). Take a left accross the freeway and then take a right on Interstate Avenue. Drive to the end and take a right on Bishop Rd. The cemetery is on your immediate right. This is the Mapquest map that you can follow to get there: http://www.mapquest.com/cgi-bin/ia_find?screen=ia-map-result&link=ia-map-result&uid=u2.8h7ybuc3ak8ry:2l1r1gd4y (make sure it is all on one line) My Jensen ancestors are buried there. The Chehalis Timberland Regional Library has some books that were written up by students who wrote reports on the idividuals buried there. They interviewed family members for the information. There are quite a number of reports on file at that library. Perhaps the person(s) that you are looking for may have a report written about them.

I couldn't find Ella ^& Milo. Found twins Ella & Mella who b 1917 died at birth!! Lots of BRANHAMS. RDV

I'm sure they would be of my ROBERTS is from Caney Creek. They may be so recent that I do not have them in base. Have Branham connections there. Rodney

Hi: Anyone know directions from I-5 to Urqhardt cemetery..its an older cemetery in Chehalis. Thanks, Rick.

Rodney RDVSR@aol.com

This is Rodney Veitschegger, lived at Morton, WA, now live in Bowling Green, KY

Rodney, Knowing you do alot on the Roberts I ran across something one of my Blair cousins submitted to our private Jacob Blair page, a picture of James Monroe Branham and two unknown people named Ella & Millo Roberts of Caney Creek, Pike Co. KY....Would they be any of your Roberts? John Blair

Hate to use the mailing list for this, but I need to contact Rodney! (East end of Lewis Co. and now in KY?)

Does anyone have information on the Stoddard family? Is there a connection to the Gore family? Clara M. Gore born 10/24/1866 to Hollis & Mary Gore, married 05/02/1883 to unknown party, died October 18, 1898. In 1900, Hollis & Mary Gore have a two year old grandson living with them, his last name is Stoddard. I would appreciate any information on this family. Thank you, Marilyn Powers

Barbara, Good to here from you. I'll write you later to your email address. Any idea why James and family moved to WV and which year they may have moved. It had to be after 1880 because no Stinsons were in the 1880 Greenbrier County Census. Of course they could have been in McDowell County or Wyoming County or some other county. I remember a story about some of our family serving in the Union side of the Civil War, while other members served in the Confederacy. After the War it was difficult for some of them in VA so they moved North to WV. I'll try to dig up the facts on this.

Hello, I am interested in the Newspaper abstracts of 1891 - 1906 of Lewis Co. My granmother Sarah Jane Pumpphrey, Smith Baldwin died abt 1905/06 but I have not found any record of it. I had looked in some newspapers in Lib. but never got finished and they moved them to the Historical Soc. Train Bldg. I would like to know if she may be in what you have as some of the papers I looked through in the Lib in Chehalis were missing in the early 1990's. She died of T B and had had a baby and it must have died also a my aunt remembered a baby being wrapped up and taken away and never came back . She said she was 6 yrs and she was b in 1899. My dad said he was seven and he was b in 1896 his older sisiter said. but they don't jib. Sarah is bur. now in Little Falls Cem with no dates on stone . Just ( Sarah Jame Baldwin, mother of James Smith) She was moved from the family olts at Olequa, where her uncle William Pumphrey had property. All the graves there were moved I heard abt 1923/4. They couldn't find any of the 7 Baldwin Ch to claim her in the reburrying in Vadar. If she is listed in ther I want the book. Let me know what the chg for it is with postage etc if so. Sarah was wife of Paden ( Perry) Cox Baldwin and ch were , Earl, Carl, Hazel, Perry, Sadie(Sarah), and Alonzo( Lauren) and Robert Baldwin. Sons James deseaced at the time), and Wesley Smith. P S.
