Rodney, I double checked the page and it does say F but you are probably correct in that a copy was mistakenly wrong. Was the Geo Roberts the spouce of the Laura J Winston? I was just curious as when I seen the similarities I made assumptions. The older books and mar, returns all have been moved from Chehalis to the Capitol at Olympia I found out tonight. They just have films of these original books at Court house in Chehalis now. Did you know of any Baldwin's, Pumphrey's, Brannan's or anyone connected to them when you lived in Morton? The Dentist who became an accountant by the name of LANE in Morton, Think he died abt 19 67/9?? I had an experience abt. Someone from florida was looking fr her father. She was abt 80 yrs old a few yrs back. wrote me from a message I had put in a magazine as living here and being a Lane descendant. I got another Lane descnedant and we went to lib found him and wife in Tacoma in 1920's and in the City Directories and in SSDI and called Senior Center in Moton and got imfo on him etc. Her son brought her here and took her to Morton and people were great, found pictures they had, took her to museum to see his dental items and old home and told her about him etc. They son and her came to Tacoma and met us and families and we went to Country Kitchen in Lakewood and visited. Before that when they first got herre we met them and had dinner in the Olive Gardens and celebrated her 80th birthday. She was so happy and delirious with tears of joy. When her mother died in Fla abt 10 or so yrs befoee she found a box with some papers in it . She then found her mother lied to her abt her father and said he died in WW1. They had lived in Maine. when she was abt 3/ 4 yrs old. Her father divorced her mother and got custody of her. He came to get her and mother told him she was at a grandparents house so he left to get her. The mother had hid her in a woodshed and after father left she had had bags all packed and arranged to go to Fla and stole her away. She thought all the time her mother was alive that her father was dead until when she died she went through this little box she had hid from her only dau. all those yrs and was sure upset when she had discovered the most terrible thing that happened to her. We were delighted to make great lady in her 80's and her son happy and sent them home with pictures, stories and memntos of her father she had never got to know.
