Goldie Hornsby is a lost relative that we have always wondered about. She is the daughter of my great grandmother, Arimenta Olive Hornsby. She was born in West Virginia about 1900 (give or take a few years) out of wedlock before Arimenta married James Alexander (Alec) WOOD about 1906 after the death of his first wife, Eliza Farley. About 1912, they moved to Missouri, then on to Sandpoint, Idaho, then to Oregon and back to WV in about 1919. Goldie Hornsby or Wood (I don't know which name she used) stayed out west with a sister Ora Wood. Ora's marriage is in Sandpoint, Idaho 1917. Goldie was supposed to have married a Dalton and moved to Vancouver British Columbia Canada. I have no date but suspect it would have been between 1915-1919. During WWII (1940's), she wrote home needing proof of US citizenship to get back into the country. Granny got the postmaster to help her send it and she was never heard from again. We have always wondered about her and if she had a fami! ly so I started trying to see if I could find evidence of her. It is a mystery, I would love to solve. I have not even found her on a census here before they left. She should be on the 1910 Raleigh or Mercer County in the home of James and Arimenta Wood. This might give a closer birthdate. Here would be the facts relating to her: Goldie(might be a nickname) Hornsby born about 1900 to Arimenta Olive Hornsby who was unmarried Goldie became the step daughter of James Alexander "Alec" Wood in 1906 when he married Arimenta. Goldie lived in Sandpoint Idaho and may have married there about 1915-1919. She may have moved on to Oregon or Washington or Canada before marrying. She may have returned to the US in the 1940s. I found a Goldie Hornsby livining in Spokane Washington in 1920 census. She is living with a Forest McDonald. Here's the info that it has listed: 1920 Federal Census: Spokane Washington Altamount Precinct ED: 160 (3rd and 5th January 1920) Forest R McDonald --Head--white male---age:42--married--merchant--retail store Bernice R. --wife--white female--age: 29 Fransis--daughter of Forest McDonald Colline--daughter--of Forest McDonald 0Robert-son of Forest McDonald Charles H Riffe--father in law to Forest Laura L Riffe--mother in law to Forest Goldie Hornsby--Servant---white female---age: 18--single--born:Virginia ---Father born in Virginia mother born in Virginia--occupation: Maid in private residence.

Dear Friends: I really hate to stir the soup too much, but as for no Spokane Cty or Washington marriage listing, I do recall for some strange reason young couple here would often go to Idaho to marry. Something about it being easier there. Anyone else aware of this or did the kids change my tobacco again? Sincerely, Victor

Victor, You're correct. There was no waiting period between getting marriage license and the ceremony in Idaho. In Washington, it was a three day wait. I don't know if that is the same at present.

Victor, I concur with your observations about the numbering and street addresses. I am assuming that you are responding to an obituary that I posted, giving the last known address as 300 W. Trent. I fully recall the appearance of that area prior to to the exposition, and it certainly had to be in construction for that by April of 1973. But, the obituary and or death notices printed in both the Spokesman-Review and Spokane Daily Chronicle clearly state that that was the person's last address. And Polk Directory for that year also states that there are some buildings on W. Trent, but it also lists many vacancies, which brings the conclusion that the area was at least in transition.

Good Morning, I am trying to find out when my great aunt died. Does anyone have the WA death index to look up this person for me? Her name is Virginia (Odabelle) LORENTZEN. She was was born 3 Apr 1904, OK. Her maiden name was ABBOTT. We heard she moved to WA, & died there. Thank you for your help. Teri Lindsay Arkansas
