Out by the Lincoln/Spokane county lines, just south of Long Lake that borders Stevens County. We moved out here from town about 1998. I grew up out on the west plains. Went to Cheney school dist. My email address is [email protected] if you'd like to chat, maybe about genealogy. My mother's family settled in Asotin, WA and Orofino, Idaho. I was raised by a divorced father and did not know about my mother's family residing in the Palouse and in the Clarkston areas until I had a family of my own. My foster Mother, born and raised in the Palouse, has been a great help to me in telling about the people she knew that are buried at the Tekoa's Goldenrod Cemetery whom I am related to in some way. When there I would pass the grave of a Clara Belle Sumpter and wonder who she was, she rest next to a Lester Sumpter. New years day 2007 I found a funeral notice in a trunk that had been shut for 37 years. Along with this paper I found my big brother's baby book. The family tree in the baby book has Clara Sumpter as a Great grandmother. That Sumpter last name is a bit difficult, unusual. But how she ties into my grandfather Hubert Elwood Taylor makes me wonder. What happened to Hubert's father? Is Clara Hubert's Mother? Anyway, Thank You for your reply. It was nice to hear from you. Take Care, Christina
