In your papers dose it mention any reason that whole families would leave the area about 1898-9 and head to Washington?? My family left with Hartely/Jemima GRANT, Rodney/Dora ROUSE, Thomas/Bertha GRANT, Francis/Cora MACOMBER, Elmer/Bertha SELECK. & families. They took up a whole railroad car. Hartely was the head of the families. Selma Grant
