Touchet, WA. is 16 miles west of Walla Walla, on highway 12 so you are exactly right. Eddiejo GREGORY L WEST wrote: > I believe Touchet is near Walla Walla.

Yes, Touchet is near Walla Walla, about 15 minutes away if memory serves me. Back in the '50s it had a postoffice and I think a store, but the last time I went through I only noticed a service station that also sold groceries. And the guy in the service station knew who we were coming to visit and who we were....a very friendly community, but I wouldn't really call it a town. (hope none of my family are on the list) The area is currently all alfalfa ranchers. I noticed that in the 1910 census that there were quite a few back then too. Many of my relatives (Wagoner and McDonald) lived and still live there, but I've noticed that when they die, they are buried in Walla Walla cemeteries. Touchet may not have it's own cemetery.

Is there someone out there on the list that can tell me a little about a distant cousin? John Carlson was a professor at Gonzaga (sp) Univ. in Spokane. I'm not sure of the years, he was born about 1900. I would "assume" that it would have been around the 40's or 50's. Is this too little information? Thanks for any help.

Hello all. Hoping to find some long lost cousins out there. Searching for descendents of James and Cyrus HOLMES, who both lived in WA from about 1904 until thier deaths. (see dates below) General info- Cyrus Holmes and his wife Emma NICHOLS moved out to WA about 1904 and had lumber mill in the Everson area. I know of only one child, Avis, and do not know if they had any other children. Cyrus was living in South Bend by 1923, when his brother James died. No other info on Cyrus and Emma. James Holmes and his wife Lena lived in the Blaine area. They had 4 known children- Erick Holmes, Mrs Harry Nielson, Lee Holmes and Florence Holmes. Names obtained from James' 1923 obit. Lee Holmes recieved his 8th grade diploma in 1921 in Blaine. Have found some references of (who I believe is) Erick Holmes in a 1948 diary, living near Concrete with a Cecille and Jo. (wife and son perhaps?) James and Cyrus were followed to WA by a sister, their father, and a brother. Myrtle Holmes and husband Charles THOMAS (my grandparents) came to Lynden about 1910, later joined by father Alex Holmes. Guy Holmes lived for about 25 years in Easton PA before moving to Lynden about 1940. Here is Alex and all his children. Alex HOLMES was born Sep 8, 1835 in Washburn, ME, died Jul 1, 1921 in Blaine, WA. He married (1) Margery ELLIOTT. He married (2) Jane NICHOLS (sister of Cyrus's wife Emma) daughter of Steven NICHOLS and Lois RAFFORD. Children of Alex HOLMES and Margery ELLIOTT are: James W. b. Jun 10, 1860, Washburn, ME; d. 1923, S.Bend, WA; Cyrus E. b. Jul 1, 1863, ME; d. May 10, 1933, WA; Florence, b. Abt. 1874. Margaret b. Abt. 1876. Children of Alex HOLMES and Jane NICHOLS are: Guy, b.
