I don't know when Jessie Poorman moved to Spokane. I don't know if he was married before or after his move. No information on his wife other than first name Edith. I have not obtained any obituaries. Family tradition is that he was born and lived in Indiana then moved to Spokane, Washington. Jessie Poorman b. 1879. I have a photo of him with wife, but it may have been sent to Indiana from Spokane or elsewhere. No I have not traced them in Census, I don't subscribe to any of the pay sites. Another researcher was kind enough to tell me he died Spokane City, 2-13-1941, from the The WA Death Index. I did not know the family ever resided in MN, so I am glad to discover that. Maybe family tradition got a little mixed up. Regarding the Washington State Library should I only ask for one name in the look up with dates I can provide? Some libraries only want one request. Thanks for the advice on where to search and your tips. I appreciate your time and effort. Pat Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Married at the time? Have you traced the family via census through 1930, obtained obituaries? Do you know when he died? Any wife information? Basically what do you know about him and potential family. A good website for posting: http://www.tedpack.org/goodpost.html The 1930 Census for Spokane, Spokane Co, owning at 608 White Street.

I've "rescued" an old photograph of Bertha SUNDBY which was taken at the Elite Studio in Spokane, Washington. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1900's with Bertha appearing to be in her teens or 20's at the time it was taken. I am hoping to locate someone from this SUNDBY Family so that this wonderful old treasure can be returned to the care of her family. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

Thanks for taking the time. You were quite busy! Yes I did have some of this information, though some of the addresses and finer details I didn't. My grandmother is Anna(first wife) & Mathew's granddaughter by Anna and Calvin Cousins. I'm trying to trace the family back to Ireland and frankly getting stumped. Reviewing what you have I find you have the same issue with Matthew- his birth place and date change almost every census, so I'm having issue tracking where he was before his marriage in St. Louis. As for Anastasia Hickey, she actually died in Missouri in 1892 shortly after Anna was born. She was buried with a previous child in Calvary Cemetery in St. Louis, Missouri. I have Newspaper clippings from the St. Louis Post for her death, Obituary and Johanna's(previous child between Edward and Katherine) death notice. I am awaiting a reply from the Catholic church in St. Louis for any marriage, witnesses, family listing or otherwise related to this family they may have on file from their church. I'll see what I can do about tracking down the obituaries. Thank you again! Patti Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

You may have all of this, I didn't and needed it for research. It strongly appears Matthew was married twice. First, to an Anastasia/Stacie/Stacia, who may have divorced and lived past the date of Matthew's second marriage. From my other posting, I'd suggest you request the obits for all of the persons identified below. If you have more information on the individuals, you should post that. Since you indicated your grandmother had died, you probably should identify if she is one of the listed family members. The 1900 Census for Chicago, Cook Co, IL, enumerated 2 June.

I was contacted via another message board. Here is part of what I have received regarding my mystery ministers: Spokane Feb. 24, 1905 Bishop D N McInturff, of the People's United Church, has separated himself from his flock, members charge, and the flock is without a church and the bishop has the money derived from the sale of church property in Spokane. He intended to open a new church in Oregon but has decided to settle in Idaho. Nov. 1906 Decision against McInturff After 2 years of litigation, Judge Casey ruled that David N Mcintruff, founder and head of People's United Church, has no connection with nor proper authority over said People's church. The court declares the transfer void by which the church property in this city was exchanged for farm land near Bonners Ferry, Ida., upon which Bishop McIntruff has founded the Alamo Colony. May 17, 1907 McIntruff dethroned as president of "healer colony" in Bonner's Ferry, Ida., with election of G E Townsend. McIntruff was furious and put a curse of condemnation upon all who hand in divesting him of his power. In 1912 Michael E Ferdinand married Berta L Brinnon in Spokane. He is listed as age 35, divorced, born in Shelbyville, Ind., occupation: Minister of the Gospel, residence: Westport, Ind. 1930 Census Garrison, Walla Walla, Washington Michael E.
