I'm looking for anyone who may remember my gradnparents and their children in Centralia, 1938. Grandparents' names are Oscar Lawrence Cazier, Olive Mae Cazier. Children's names are:
John Truman Cazier
Wanda Angeline Cazier
Oscar Lawrence Cazier Jr.
Inez Mae Cazier
David Arnull Cazier.
Olive divorced Oscar and Married Walter Simmons, so the kids may have been going by the last name of Simmons.
Does anyone have any written history or pictures of the old Galvin School in Centralia? Thank you for any help or advice.

Oliver H. Joy, signer of WA state Constitution, most likely married to Mary J. Joy, had a son named Oliver Joy born in California. Believe this Oliver H. Joy to be my great-grandmother's uncle (her name was Irene Sullivan Westenfelder). My father said that a man by the last name of Joy, who was his great-uncle, helped to develop the constitutions of CA, OR, and WA. Believe he was living in Lewis County in the 1880's. My Grandma Rene lived in Twin Falls, Idaho for many years and died in Pocatello, Idaho.
Kristy Ward Cooper 18 Mar 1998 (updated 8 Jul 2005)
WARD / FRENCH / SHARP / WATERS / MITCHELL: My direct line is Ward the other lines are names that were in the family by way of marriage. From the letters I have they all appear to have come from Va. Not sure of dates. One 1934 letter talks about a male Mitchell and wife getting their S.S. The age of the couple seemed to be 70s or 80s. Do any of these name mean any thing to anyone?
Rick Reed 30 Jun 2005
I am not directly related to this family but have an interest in them. Samuel Lawrence married Grace (Gracie) Sawyer [found in the 1910 Pe Ell Census]. Grace was the daughter of Benjamin Sawyer and Adeline Lina House. Benjamin was the brother of my GG Grandmother Millie Mariah Sawyer Newman. Samuel and Grace had at least two sons, Walter Lawrence and John Morton Lawrence. Walter was born about 1906. I have a picture of Walter with his Great Grandfather Wesley House.. this picture was sent to Benjamin's mother, Sarah Pearcy Sawyer in Keighly, KS in 1910. I inherited Sarah's and Milie's pictures and am trying to make sense of them by going through the census records.

Looking for Iva GREEN and children Ivan, Mary, Margaret, and another daughter. I found Iva and Frank H. GREEN in the 1910 census for Winlock, Lewis, WA. In the 1920 census Iva was without Frank but it listed four children. My Grandmother was a sister to Frank, her name was Grace Ethel GREEN-HELMS. Lived in Parke County, IN. She died in 1967 in Vermillion County, IN. I am researching the GREEN and HELMS family. Would like to receive any information on this family. As far as I know, after the death of Frank the family returned to Winlock, Lewis, WA and did not keep in contact with any families in IN.

Looking for information about Gelanie (Jelania) GREEN b.March 1874 in Harlan Co., KY, m. Patton ROGERS b. May 1862, VA. My grandfather, Jocephas GREEN (brother of Gelanie) moved to Little Falls (later Vader) Lewis Co., WA in 1905 because of the lumber industry. Other members of the GREEN family also moved, as well as KING and LYTTLE families. They had a store, hotel and saw mill in Little Falls. I don't know when Gelanie and Patton Rogers and their three children moved. My grandfather moved back to Kentucky in March 1913. We think everyone else moved back too, except, Gelanie and Patton ROGERS. The 1900 census shows that the 3 children were Margret b. May 1891, Green Y. b. March 1893, and Peter b. March 1895, all in KY. Info from family says they were Margaret, Tip and Babe, possibly nicknames for the boys. Tip ROGERS married Carlie SMITH and they had Frances and Marguerite. Frances ROGERS married Joe DERKACHT and they had a son Donald. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
