I would really appreciate it if somebody, while researching, can take a look to see if there was an obit published for the following person and let me know what it reads. One of the subjects I'm looking to find out about is, if there is mention of serving in the US military, another is mention of family names, or a bio. My guess is, the obit, if there was one, would have been published in the Wenatchee newspaper. He also lived on and off, in Spokane, so I don't know if that newspaper also may have published one. Name: John P. DePonty, but death certificate reads John D. DePonty. He also went by the name of John Patrick DePonty or DePonti. Hopefully, they didn't confuse the issue further by using his childhood name: Johannes Pasquel DePonty/DePonti Died October 11, 1975, Wenatchee, Chelan Co., WA Although he died in Wenatchee, Chelan Co., WA, he is buried in Riverside Cemetery in Spokane, WA, October 15, 1975. Thank you very much, Karen RkMontg342@aol.com http://members.aol.com/kreatbykar/KREATIONSBYKAREN.htm

Hi there! Is there someone in Lewis Co, WA that might be able to look up 2 obits of a married couple for me? There was a question on the death fishe as to whether the date "2" might be 12 or another number with 2 in it. James B. "Bernie" JONES b. Sep 1844 in IL, died 2 Feb 1915 in Lewis Co. Mary T. (Taylor) JONES b. Apr 1869 in MN, d. 19 Apr 1911 in Lewis Co. Apparently James Jones worked in Chehalis/Centralia at a saw mill. Thank you! Gayle gayle@olypen.com

I am searching for information on Cora Wall married to Herbert Wall and their son William Wall and descendents. They would have arrived in Washington from Minnesota after1900 - I think. I am also interested in descendents of Oscar Garrett Wall and his wife Marie who also moved to Washington from Minnesota after 1900. O. G. Wall was the founder of the Friday Harbour newspaper which still exists. Can anyone help me? Chuck Eckhardt

Check this on the internet: www.seatimes.com/classified/passages Judy in Oregon City -- A job is nice, but it interferes with genealogy research.

Since we have been discussing census information, I thought some of you might find this site helpful. It is a new site that should become very popular very fast. Rick Sergeant http://www.rootsweb.com/~uslookup/census.html

Sorry, but I know this has been a previous subject, where do I find Seattle Times obits on the internet? Judy in Oregon City -- A job is nice, but it interferes with genealogy research.

I'm glad someone out there is watching out for me (thanks again, Bud!!). Here is the URL for the state census info. http://www.ancestry.com/home/source/src114.htm Just to reassure everyone, I have no interest in the "Ancestry" company. This is a free site (which I would bookmark immediately). Hope it helps someone. Rick Sergeant

Some of us do not know or forget that there have been state census done concurrently and between the federal census. Not all states have done so. The following URL (net address) has a listing of the states who have done so. It is a handy guide for current or future use. Richard Sergeant (lobosolo@halcyon.com) Seattle, WA Researching: Sharp, Yates, Sexton, Pointer, Johnson, Coffey, Estes, Manker, Skaggs, Ausmus, and many others.

Once again a big "thank you" to everyone who responded to my call for help. I wanted to inform everyone that I did find Theodore in the 1910 and 1920 Sumner Co, KS census. So there is no need to look up anything in the Spokane Co census. Thanks again, Richard Sergeant (lobosolo@halcyon.com) Seattle, WA Researching: Sharp, Yates, Sexton, Pointer, Johnson, Coffey, Estes, Manker, Skaggs, Ausmus, and many others.

There is a chance that the Army would have records about the trial and any time off or temporary leave of absence that your dad might have had to take. That info might give you a better idea of the time of trial. You should also be able to contact the Spokane courts and have them lookup the trial info.
