We are researching Lena (Yenney) Ketcherside. Lena spent most of her life in Walla Walla, Waitsfield area. I am told that she is related to the Yenney families of this area. So far I have no proof of which Yenney family member she is related to. My Aunt wonders if it is Philip Yenney who might be her brother. But no records record this information. Any who are researching these two surnames might be able to help us. Lena came to America with two sister's, Elise Beringer of Sherwood Oregon, and Elizabeth Fouge of Beaverton Oregon. If you know of any information that might help me, it would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks John and Doreen

This was in Manila, Arkansas. She said that her grandfather used to sit and rock her to sleep when she was a little girl, and that after he died she was a real handful. What we are really looking for is some information about her parents and/or siblings. On every census we have found, her parents and Sophronia were supposedly born in Arkansas. In the 1850 census there were three Wiseman's living in Fulton County, that we know of, so we are pining our hopes on one of them. They were all in 1850, Fulton County, Union Township on page 158, Thomas and Mary, Absolem and Nancy and Davenport and Matilda. Part of E-Mail 1 Feb 2001 from: Charles and Dee Colvin chrdcol@gte.net Hi Judie? Nice to meet a distant cousin!! Yes, my mother use to speak of Sophronia Davenport WISEMAN, and her name is among those that were in the family Bible. (Note it was a King Family Bible per Dee Colvin) The Bible has Safronia D. Wiseman Born 24 February 1851 Married James F. Montgomery 6 July 1871 We have also had a letter from Mr. Tom Chapman who is researching the Wiseman family. He wrote: "You can be sure that Sophronia is a descendant of either Martin or Davenport Wiseman - brothers, whose families settled in Arkansas. The lived for quite a few years in Tennessee but were natives of North Carolina - sons of Thomas and Cordelia Wiseman. Thomas was the first son of William and Mary (Davenport ) Wiseman." E-Mail from Fern Estes at earlfernestes@centurytel.net dated 18 March 2003 Jim, In the 1850 census for Fulton Co. AR, Union Township I found Devenport Wiseman, age 25, b. TN; wife Matilda, age 26, b. AL. No children. Looks promising with Sophronia's middle name being Davenport. At this time, not sure of much on Sophronia. In the 1920 Mississippi County Arkansas census William Ignatious (Nash) Montgomery , has Sophronia Davenport ( Wiseman ) Montgomery his mama , my GGrandma born in Arkansas and his daddy born in Arkansas. But we know for sure that his daddy was born in North Carolina. In the 1910 Mississippi County Arkansas census William Ignatious (Nash) Montgomery , has Sophronia Davenport ( Wiseman ) Montgomery his mama , my GGrandma born in Canada and his daddy born in Wyoming. But we know for sure that his daddy was born in North Carolina The info from the 1870 and 1880 Census we have say Sophronia Davenport Wiseman was born in Arkansas.

Judy said she may try and contact her again now that he have gotten deeper into the Wiseman family maybe the two can help each other Our brick wall is Sophronia Davenport ( Wiseman ) Montgomery, My GGrandma. As for our Charles W. Wiseman. We have our Charles as the son of Alan Tipton Wiseman and Jeanett Bella Henson. Alan was born 21 November 1887 In Izard County, Arkansas. Died 2 June 1968 in Hobert, Oklahoma. Jeanette Belle Henson born 10 January 1889 in Cave City, Independence County, Arkansas. Married 11 August 1909. We have Charles Wayne Wiseman married to Zora Wilburta. We also have the Charles you are talking about. Did not even think about him until you got us looking, Thanks. We also have him born 27 July 1866 and died 6 June 1896. Not sure where we got the info for the dates. Think it was from Paul Basso at kealoho@internetcds.com.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Kalakosky, Kolakowski, Oliver, Haverty, Achatz, Pontgratz Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/5BC.2ACE/947 Message Board Post: In 2000 I started my initial quest into genealogy. My main focus had been to find all the information I could on the surname “Kalakosky.” After being stumped on the issue for a long time I continued research on other lines in my family. After mildly exhausting those lines, I came full circle back to the Kalakosky name. Kalakosky is my father’s name. From my understanding, my father did not get a chance to know his own father and therefore had very little knowledge on the history of the name. My first endeavor was to establish a paper trail. I got a hold of my father’s birth certificate. On his certificate his father is listed as Harold George Kalakosky. The following information is what is on my father’s birth certificate that pertains to Harold George Kalakosky: NAME: Harold George Kalakosky RACE: White AGE: 43 ***ESTIMATED DOB: abt. 1910 BIRTHPLACE: Merrill, Wisconsin OCCUPATION: Machinist at Gerber Legendary Blades SPOUSE: Lola Oliver My father was born in Oregon, so it makes perfect sense that Harold worked at Gerber, which was located in Oregon. Unfortunately, this is where the paper trail ends, but I will share other information I have tried to compile. I sent for a birth certificate from Wisconsin for Harold George Kalakosky and received a return letter stating that they had no one on file under that name or possible alternate spellings. Considering he was born about 1910, I thought it possible that his birth record might not be in the state records and is actually somewhere in a local facility like a county courthouse. In Wisconsin, all vital records occurring in 1907 and afterward were supposed to be sent to the state. I figured it was a possibility that his might not have gotten sent, since his birth date was fairly close to 1907. I am planning to take a trip to Merrill in a couple weeks to comb through the archives (as of 18 February 2004). Another possibility is that he was not born in Merrill, or even Wisconsin, even though that’s what the birth certificate says. I then sent for an application for a Social Security number that had been applied for by a woman named Lizzie Kalakosky. Hoping that “Kalakosky” was her maiden name, I figured this might shed a little light on the situation. When I received the copy of the application, I learned that Lizzie’s maiden name was actually Achatz. This was verified by her father’s name which was also listed on the application as Achatz. She had listed both Achatz and Kalakosky on the application. “Kalakosky”, I’m assuming, to be her married name. The following is the information on the Social Security number application: NAME: Lizzie (Achatz) Kalakosky SSN: 538-07-6554 ADDRESS: R1. Box 188, Everett WA. EMPLOYER: Model Cream Bakery, 3601 Colby Av. Everett WA. AGE: 48 DOB: 10 AUG. 1889 BIRTHPLACE: Auburndale Wisconsin (Merrill WI. was initially written but was scratched out.) FATHER: George Achatz MOTHER: Katherin Pontgratz SEX: Female COLOR: White DATE YOU BECAME AN EMPLOYEE: 06 July 1937 DATE SIGNED: 27 Dec. 1937 As you can see, Lizzie wrote that she was born in Auburndale WI, (Merrill was scratched out). I found this to be very significant considering Harold George Kalakosky is also listed as being born in Wisconsin on my father’s birth certificate. After looking at a map, it was even more intriguing to see that Auburndale was very close in local to Merrill, maybe 60 miles or so. Furthermore, additional research shows that both Lizzie and Harold later lived in the Pacific Northwest. According to the dates I have, it is VERY reasonable to assume that Harold was Lizzie’s son, and they both moved from Wisconsin at the same time. If Harold was Lizzie’s son, Lizzie would have been approximately 21 years old when Harold was born. The downside to this is that I have not been able to prove that this is the case without hard copy evidence or validation from a living source. I have no idea who the Kalakosky was that Lizzie was married to and would consider that pricele! ss information. At this point I was left with about one option, to search for phone numbers of living Kalakosky’s and start calling people up. The information I have been able to find has been interesting and confusing as well. This is what I have put together so far: According to various sources, Harold George Kalakosky had at least two wives; Violet Vivian Haverty, and Lola Oliver. He could have had more but I don’t have information that would support more wives. I believe he was married to Violet first and had a son named Donald Harold Kalakosky. He might have had other children with Violet, I simply don’t know. Donald had a son named Donald Harold Kalakosky Jr.. Harold George later married Lola Oliver (my grandmother) and had a son (my father). I know that Harold was married to Lola simply from interview knowledge gained from speaking with Lola herself. I also know that Harold was married to Violet from information on Donald Harold Kalakosky’s application for a Social Security Number in 1949 (for which I have a copy) Additional supporting evidence of connection is that all these records show redundant locations in either central Washington State or Oregon. Because of the rarity of the Kalakosky name, I am almost 100% confident that they all pertain to the same Harold George Kalakosky. >From an undisclosed source, I have learned that Harold George Kalakosky left Lola and set to sea, where he supposedly faked his death. If in fact he did not die at sea he would surely be deceased by now. Unfortunately, I can find no listing of his actual death in any state records. It makes me wonder where and how he died, or if he maybe died while using an alias. This sums up the foundation of the information I have at this time (18 February 2004). I will add more tidbits of information as they are uncovered. I have recently spoken with a gentleman named Jamie Martin who said he is directly related to some Kalakosky’s. The Kalakosky’s he has knowledge about are from the eastern United States, mainly the New England area. I spoke with his grandmother who provided me with a great deal of information but she insisted that the Kalakosky name is spelled KOLAKOWSKI. This led me to believe that it is a very good possibility that the name Kolakowski could have been changed to Kalakosky at some pint in time. Even though I got a great deal of information from Jamie and his grandmother, I have yet to establish a link to the Kalakosky’s that I know I’m related to. If you recognize any of the people or information listed here, PLEASE contact me. I have spent roughly 4 years researching the Kalakosky name and have gotten no further than my grandfather (Harold George Kalakosky).

The Walla Walla Valley Genealogical Society is assisting the Loose Cannon Committee of Walla Walla in finding descendants of the following soldiers from Walla Walla County who were in Battery D and used the 155 mm French cannons during World War I. Their Battalion was the first American unit to receive such advanced weaponry in World War I. At the request of the City of Walla Walla, 4 of the cannons were sent to Walla Walla from France in 1920 following the end of the war and the United States Congress formally loaned the cannons to the City of Walla in 1927. Two of the cannons were turned in during World War II to be used to make equipment for World War II. Two have remained in Walla Walla and are being refurbished by the Loose Cannon Committee. The Committee would like to find descendants of these soldiers so they may be invited to the dedication of the cannons when the project is completed.

We are not only interested in descendants but any family history you could donate about them would be greatly appreciated. I have divided the soldiers from Walla Walla City into three groups – A-G; H-M & N-W. World War I Draft Registration cards are on microfilm. I have ordered those for Walla Walla County through the Family History of the Mormon Church in Walla Walla in hopes of finding next of kin on some of the 351 soldiers in Battery D. The Family History Center has placed them on indefinite loan for permanent use at their Family History Center. You may view them free of charge at the Walla Walla center. The microfilms are also available at the National Archives in Washington, D.C. and at their regional centers. Microfilms of Draft Registration Cards are available for all states which existed during World War I. Margaret Strickland President Walla Walla Valley Genealogical Society
