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. Jesse O. Poorman, age 57, born in Indiana to both parents born in Ohio Edith A, 47, born in Minnesota to father born in Indiana, mother in OH Kermit E, 26, born in MN Clarice 23, MN Marjorie, 17, WA Washington Death Index: Jesse Poorman, died 13 Feb 1941 in Spokane. Social Security Death Index: Kermit Poorman, born 4 Mar 1904, died Feb 1969, identified as "last residence" in Spokane; however the "last residence" on the SSDI is not always where the person actually lived. The obit for Jesse might have married names for daughters and locations: The Washington State Library has a free research service, the ask-a-librarian program, where they will look for information in the archives, in this case the newspaper microfilm for an event. They will look up to an hour and send you the results. For an obituary: http://www.sos.wa.gov/library/Obituaries.aspx Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
