Brenda......I don't know of any lists of Passengers debarking in Bellingham......but if anyone would....it would probably be the Main Library in Seattle. Seattle is just below Bellingham and would definitely have had a newspaper in that time period. Check out Libraries and Historical Societies in the Seattle area and Bellingham too.......most likely in the WA Gen Web. My cousin who I am reseaching my family with gets a lot of information from them.......and lives there. She's on vacation, but I'll ask when she gets back to see if she knows anything about passenger lists. Keep watching this list....I will post if I find out anything. xxxxxo Louise King La Jolla, CA In a message dated 8/16/98 3:14:22 PM, brenhebert@olynet.com wrote: >The sister of my gr-gr-grandmother related in a newspaper article about > >some of the pioneers of Bellingham, WA how her family came to California > >from Iowa, then decided to come to "the Far Northwest, and came by > >boat."

The sister of my gr-gr-grandmother related in a newspaper article about some of the pioneers of Bellingham, WA how her family came to California from Iowa, then decided to come to "the Far Northwest, and came by boat." She was 20 years old then, and arrived in Bellingham on September 22, 1889. Where would I find information on any boats that arrived in Bellingham in 1889? Did the local paper publish lists of the people who arrived on boats or ships? Thank you!

Good afternoon, I am new to this list. My name is Addie and I am looking for help in the two counties mentioned in the subject. I need to locate a death record for my GGGrandfather who passed on 10 Jan. 1907 & was in these two counties, and I am uncertain as to which county he passed in. I have been told by the Washington Department of Health that Washigton State does not keep records prior to June 1907 thus making it necessary for me to go through the indivudual counties I know he was visiting family in. I am more than willing to pay for this help and would appreciate any and all comments.

Addie......you probably should go through (write or phone) both of the Counties you mentioned. If the Counties don't have the record of his death then there is a possibility that the State Archives in Olympia, WA do. Here is there address and phone number: Washington State Archives Archives and Records Management Division Office of the Secretary of State 1120 Washington Stree SE P.O. Box 40238 Olympia, WA 98504-0238 Phone is: 360-586-1492 I got the record of my Uncle's death in 1898 there........and I just phoned them. Very nice people there.

I found this site for Territorial maps from the URL that I posted in NORCAL a couple days ago.. THat site.....which I titled.... 600 links to maps is: http://kartoserver.frw.ruu.nl/html/staff/oddens/oddens.htm (I made up that number....I think there are more) In there......I found this awesome site for US Territorial Maps. http://xroads.virginia.edu/~MAP/terr_hp.html I've spent all morning printing them out in color........(wish I owned a laser color printer!) You can just click on the year you're interested in.......and you get that map....... Be SURE and print out the “Overview of States and Territories”. You will be able to see how LARGE the area of the Lousiana Purchase was ..........the huge amouont of land ceded by Mexico in 1848.....the Original Oregon Territory........Land ceded by Spain which is now Florida..Texas annexed in 1845. I can't say enough about these maps. I also printed a map for 1770.....showing the original 13 Colonies. It's sure nice to see something on the internet like this. Have a fun Sunday....... xxxxxxxxo Louise King La Jolla, CA

The book is WRONG, Joan. I'm 5th generation in Cowlitz County and Woodland is NOT in Clark County. The county line is the Lewis River, on the south side of Woodland....which is in Cowlitz County. shirley [JOAN BELL wrote: > > Woodland, WA is in both Cowlitz and Clark County, WA. > This is from the "Washington State Yearbook 1997, obtained from the > Spokane Valley Library in Spokane, WA on 4 Aug 1998. > > It states Cowlitz, Woodland (part), population 3,400. > Clark, Woodland (part), population 107. > > Thank's for everyone's help and the caring, sharing that so many of you > have done regarding genealogy. > > Joan Bell > 9518 E.4th Ave # 42 > Spokane, WA 99206-3061 > joray@webtv.net -- ÐÏࡱá

In the beginning there was only Clark where Ft.Vancouver was and Lewis County. This first WT census is only for Lewis County - I believe Ft. Vancouver was briefly part of Oregon, although all of WA was also OT until can't remember when. Look at http://www.CyndisList.com and scroll down to US, click on WA and look at USGenWeb sites by counties. That should give you all the info.

The two counties are divided by the Lewis River. I lived on the Clark County side for over a year. Right on the river. The town itself is on the Cowlitz side. Beth Woodland, WA is in both Cowlitz and Clark County, WA. This is from the "Washington State Yearbook 1997, obtained from the Spokane Valley Library in Spokane, WA on 4 Aug 1998. It states Cowlitz, Woodland (part), population 3,400. Clark, Woodland (part), population 107. Thank's for everyone's help and the caring, sharing that so many of you have done regarding genealogy.

Hi, all, Would be grateful for a lookup in Washington of the death record for my father's sister, Nadine SWEENEY, who was born Nadine STEVENSON on 1 Oct 1915 in Oklahoma, and died 15 March 1989 in Spokane, Washington. I have written to Spokane, and they say no record found; however, the info I have is from SSDI, and I would like someone who has a real appreciation of genealogy and family to look. An obituary would be great also. I would also like to find any descendents of Nadine SWEENEY and her husband, with whom I can correspond. To explain, I am the only child of Jackson Wade STEVENSON and his second wife, Mary Joann VICKERY. I never met my father--they married in 1953 and were divorced when she became pregnant with me. I was born in Oakland. California in 1955. Consequently, I have no contacts, no family on that side. I feel a need to connect with them. Any help anyone can provide will be very much appreciated. I can reciprocate with research in Virginia, where I am located, if you'd like. Thanks, Meg Stevenson

My grandfather, Frank KING along with his brother-in-law, John KIRCHNER, owned a saloon in/near Waterville or Douglas in 1900. Looking for any information on these two, their families and the saloon. Thanks WKING90558@AOL>COM

A cousin of mine from Bellingham, WA mailed me a photocopy of the following article. For those interested, I will follow the article with an explanation of who her family was. If you're not interested, you don't HAVE to read the second part of the e-mail. :o) The date and paper name weren't noted, but it was from a paper in Bellingham, WA probably in early 1939 (before March 12, 1939, anyways). --------------- Mrs. Burgess Recalls Incidents Before Washington Became State (Editor's note: This is the second of a series of articles on Whatcom county residents who came here prior to the forming of Washington state.) Of special interest to Mrs. William Burgess, 1708 King street, is the Golden Jubilee celebration of Washington this year. Mrs. Burgess saw the territory become a state. With her parents she came to what is now Bellingham in September of 1889, and it was on November 11 of that year that Washington attained statehood. Mrs. Burgess' family came from Council Bluffs, Ia., where her father operated a hotel. He had been engaged in the hotel business for a number of years before heeding the call to "go west." OPENED HOTEL "My father started the old Terminus hotel on C street," Mrs. Burgess said, "and the structure is still standing. "Our business was chiefly with seafaring men, lumbemen and loggers and transients, and the hotel used to hum with activity." When her family left Iowa they went first to California. "Then we decided to come to the Far Northwest, and came up by boat." She was 20 years old then, and will be 70 on March 12. On September 22 she will have lived in Bellingham and Whatcom county fifty years. "I saw the coming of the street cars (and now the buses) and of automobiles and flying machines to Bellingham," Mrs. Burgess relates. AMUSING INCIDENTS "I remember some amusing incidents. There was a little boat from here to the South Side for those who didn't want to go on the cars, and my sister, who was kinds hifalutin, always went over on that. I remember one time she forgot to duck her head when she sailed onto the boat -- you had to stoop to get on -- and she fell into the water, finery and all. They had to get her out and she had to come home to get dry clothes." Mrs. Burgess married here and raised her family. ------------------- According to Viola May's obituary, she belonged to the following organizations: First Christian Church (in Bellingham); Women's Relief Corps; Daughters of the Union Veterans of the Civil War, Tent 5; the Old Settlers' Association; a life member of the W. C. T. U.; member of Ladies of the G. A. R., Townsend Club No. 1; and a life member of the Foreign Missionary Society. If I could find any information about her and her family through these organizations, could someone please let me know! ------------------- Viola May DAWSON was born 12 Mar 1869 in Maxwell, Story County, IA to Thomas Martin VanBuren DAWSON and Hannah Isabella HOSFORD. Thomas was born ca. 1838 I believe in Hancock Co, OH and was the son of John W. & Mary (m/n unknown) DAWSON (John was b. in VA, Mary in NY). Hannah was born 8 Aug 1842 in Iowa to Harry and Hannah (m/n unknown) HOSFORD who were married 9 Jun 1835. (Harry b. 10 Dec 1811 I think in CT, Hannah b. 30 Dec 1804 I think in VA -- they also had the following children: Mary b. 13 Oct? 1837, Sarah b. 14 Oct 1839). Thomas M.V. DAWSON and Hannah I. HOSFORD were married 27 Jan 1859 in Story County, IA. They had the following children: William W. DAWSON b. 1 Dec 1860 in Linn Co, IA, d. 27 Jun 1928 in Bellingham, WA. He married a Laura A. (m/n unknown). I don't know if he had any children. Arminta Mary DAWSON (this is my gr-gr-grandmother and may have been Viola's "hifalutin" sister) b. 10 Nov 1866 possibly in W. Branch, IA; d. 21 Feb 1938 in Bellingham. She married Henry Robinson WATSON 17 Jun 1891 in Bellingham. They had 8 children (only four of whom reached adulthood). Viola May DAWSON m. William H. BURGESS 12 Mar 1894 in Bellingham. Viola May died 30 Dec 1944 in Bellingham. They had four children (three of whom grew to adulthood). Amanda DAWSON b. abt 1871 in Iowa; m. Eugene RICHARDSON 26 Jun 1890 in Bellingham. I don't have any other information than that. I think Mrs. Ruth A. DURGAN (who ran for a Republican seat for State Assembly in Nevada ca. 1912) is somehow related to her, though. Nona DAWSON b. abt 1872 in Iowa. That's all I know about her. Thomas Schuyler DAWSON b. 4 Dec 1874 in Jones Co, IA; d. 14 Dec 1939 in Wenatchee, WA. He married three times, Ella Parker in 1895; Etta Downs in 1900, and Jennie (m/n unknown) in 1938. He had 3 children who grew to adulthood. Archie DAWSON b. Sep 1879 in Jones Co, IA. This is all I know about him. Thank you! Brenda H�bert

Is there any way to find out if he had relatives in Spokane, or if this was just the nearest place that cremation was available? Would there be an official record of the cremation that might list relatives? The death cert. was in Butte and I assume that there's no cemetery record.

JIM, I don't know if Spokane was the closest place to have a cremation.......but why do you think there are no cemetery records? Have you checked all cemeteries in Butte Montana..........and Spokane? He may likely be buried in Spokane........but on the other hand the year is 1916....and THAT's not that long ago. I mean....Butte Montana wasn't such a large place.....so no cremation facilities.....but They had to bury him somewhere! Looking for relatives? Go to Switchboard........and type in BAKER.......then type in WA. Call or write everyone of them. You could strike it rich. Don't put any first names in, just Baker. Then do the same with Montana. The son Frederick C. Baker could have had children who are LIVING!
