Has anyone heard of Con's Fruit Stand once located in Arlington? I have a coin stamped with their name and "Arlington, Wash" on one side, and "good for 5 cents in trade" on the other. Michele

Hello, List Folks - Bill Blandin has collected one hundred+ new data lines for the CamWood Obits Index, bringing the total number of lines to over 9800. The CamWood Project is an on-going collection of obituaries started several years ago by the CamWood Genealogical Workshop with additions from the Stanwood Area Historical Society's files. The online index is "expanded" - in addition to surname, given name and date of death, each data line includes the birth name, place of birth and date of birth (if given in the obit). Where possible, information about married women has been entered under married names as well as birth names. Most obituaries in the collection date from the early 1960s to the present; many earlier obits have been obtained from the files of the Stanwood Area Historical Society. The collection covers the Stanwood area (Snohomish County), Camano Island (Island County) and the extreme south-western part of Skagit County. You can access the Index (and learn how to get copies of obits) at http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~wasigs/camwoodintro.htm Regards to all.... Marge

He was involved with the Colby-Hoyt Syndicate [this from the book Monte Cristo by Woodhouse], I haven't seen that he had claims personally: Early in 1892, Monte Cristo received the distinction of becoming one of the world's charted places. R. G. Hoffman, who had taken extensive notes and surveys the previous summer, completed his detailed map of the region. About the same time, the New York investors gained control of the majority of the mining properties shown on the map. However, the Wilmans brothers, Ed Blewett, and associates retained stock in the new companies, although Hiram Bond sold his holdings and withdrew from the venture. The Colby-Hoyt syndicate intended to run the mines as a large-scale operation and wasted no time moving in that direction. In March, approximately six months after exercising its options on the Pride of the Mountains Mining Company, the syndicate incorporated the Monte Cristo Mining Company, with officers designated as follows: President, Joseph L. Colby; Vice President, Fred W. Wilmans; Secretary Pro Tem, William C. Butler; Treasurer, Edward Blewett. Trustees were Joseph L. Colby, Fred W. Wilmans, James H. Hoyt, Edward Blewett, and Alton L. Dickerman. The Rainy Mining Company also changed its officers, and the names were almost identical with those of the Monte Cristo Mining Company. Clearly, the Colby-Hoyt people now controlled the major mines of Monte Cristo, with the Wilmanses serving as subsidiary partners. -----Original Message----- From: wasnohom-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:wasnohom-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of daveladely@aol.com Sent: Saturday, April 25, 2009 3:15 PM To: wasnohom@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [WASNOHOM] FW: Blewett Family (WAS CWVE Downing) I guess Blewett Pass in the Cascades must have been named after Edward Blewett. ?
