Hello List: After looking for years, I have finally located the death date of Catherine Casner/Carsner. She died November 21, 1905. While most documents spell her last name as CASNER, it is often found spelled CARSNER. The husband of Catherine died in 1890. At the time of her death, seven of her twelve children were still living; she was living with her married daughter Margaret 'Maggie' Rose Boyce. I sent a query a lookup volunteer to Cowlitz County to see if there might be a death notice/obituary in the newspaper at Kalama, WA for the death of Catherine Casner/Carsner. Unfortunately, according to the information received from the volunteer, the archives for the Kalama Bulletin located in Cowlitz County were destroyed in a flood in the 60s or 70s. Does anyone on this list know if the Kalama Bulletin for the time frame of 1905 might be on microfilm at the State Archives for WA. Thanks for response. Liz Freeman In OK!

Good morning Elizabeth: All Washington newspapers are on microfilm at the Washington State Library and available via the Inter Library Loan program. Your local library can order the microfilm for you. Elizabeth Freeman wrote: > Hello List: > > After looking for years, I have finally located the death date of Catherine Casner/Carsner.
