Harry W. McCormick is my Great-Great Grandfather. I read a few years back some old clippings that my Grandmother has. Her name is Rita Marie Ryan. She is the Grandaughter of Mr. McCormick! I have a few photos of him. He owned the lumbermill from what I learned. You know this though. If anyone has any photographs or newspaper clippings or other information it would mean something to me. My grandmother is 88 so it's difficult to speak to her about things from so long ago.

In regards to Barbara Raabe's query: When leaving Vader going toward Ryderwood there is a Maschke Road. When I lived near Vader from 1938-1956 Martin and Adelaide Maschke and their two sons lived there. I understand that their son Bob Maschke lives at Toledo, WA. I assume they were likely related to the Maschke for whom you are seeking information. Also, there is information on Bertha Schultz on RootsWeb.com Home Page giving the ahnentafel of her Mother and listing Bertha's half siblings.
Barbara Raabe 2 Oct 2007
Looking for additional information on the family of Bertha Schultz Maschke and Gustaf Hoffman who were married in 1915 in Castle Rock and lived in the Centralia area for many years following their marriage. We are trying to trace their hometowns in Europe plus would like to know the locations and years of residence in Lewis County before they settled in Centralia. We know Gustaf Hoffman lived in Vader (Little Falls) when he first came to Lewis County and lived with the Winter family there sometime between 1912 and 1914. We know that Bertha Maschke lived with her mother and stepfather in Vader as is shown in the 1910 census. Are there any 'city' directories or other sources that would show where the family resided between the census years?
Barbara Raabe 2 Oct 2007
Grandmother Emma Kovinski Raabe, born 1890 Newaukum Hill, was the daughter of Anna Zachmann and Adam Kovinski. Her grandmother was Anna Koenig Zachmann. I have recently found out the Bukovina connection plus found their pedigree on familysearch.org. I have visited the Newaukum Cemetery where Anna Koenig Zachmann is buried and found a new tombstone for the Zachmann child that died the same year as she, 1897. I was unable to contact the Rumpel family to whom this family is connected but would like to reach others who are researching this family and share facts. Also, I am trying to find out where Adam Kovinski who died in 1900 in Chehalis/Newaukum is buried.

My husband has many family from Lewis County. I'm trying to trace some of where people went. His gr. gr gr. Grandfather (his grandmother's grandfather) was Newton Montogomery Gross who died 11-21-1931. Buried in Sticklin Cementary, Centralia, WA. His second wife was Nettie Carr. Don't know where she is. NM Gross had a daugher named Laura Gross who married J.A Duncan. She died 3-3-1930 at age 47. Buried in Sticklin Cementary as well. She had 8 children. Beauford, Howard, Clebart, Ray, Vivian, Reba, Wilma, and Thelma. I'm unsure where all these Duncans went. Do any of these Duncans sound familiar? All of Centralia, WA.
Laura's sister Martha Gross married JW Mincher who lived in Centralia as well for a time. I only know she died in 1949 and do not know birth or dates. I know JW Mincher is buried in Vancouver, WA.
Dean is my mother-in-law's maiden name and Harry Evelyn Dean is her grandfather. I was wondering if this person was also buried in Centralia as well. Born 9-17-1894 - died 11-30-1980. His wife was Olive Mae Shaw Dean, born. 3-28-1892 - died 8-14-1971. Thanks for your time!

I am trying to locate obituaries or other information on members of the GEHRMAN family that moved from Wisconsin to Washington in the 1890's. I believe they originally immigrated from West Prussia and am hoping to find the name of the village they came from.
Jacob and Augusta Gehrman: he died on Dec. 25, 1905 and she died March 7, 1909. I believe they lived in Centralia at the time of Jacob's death, and Louise went to live with their son Mike in Frances/Elk Prairie (Pacific County) after that. (They were my great-great-grandparents. My great-grandmother stayed behind in Wisconsin.)
They had a son Jacob (Jake) who died in Centralia in 1949, and I would hope to find some information, possibly an obituary, on him.
I believe there was also a son John Gehrman and his wife, Caroline, and I'm nost sure if they settled in Lewis or Pacific County. I'm pretty sure John worked in the Willapa Valley for a time. Any assistance you could give me would be greatly appreciated!

Delores Sexton died 9 May 1927 at age 6 years. Louise Sexton died June 1934 at age 14 years and Ernest Sexton died 1925 at age 19 years. We do have obits for these four, but not Helen.

Please get ahold of me for more info such as dates, and other stories passed down regarding Antoine and Angeline. If you have ANY ino I would be greatly appreciative!
Krisit Keller Milanowski 31 Mar 2007
I am trying to find out the name of a particular men's hat that the Keller and Aust men began wearing back in the 1940's and became their trademark. The hats were white and resembled a flattened mushroom. My cousins and I call them the "Keller" hats, but there has to be another name for them. A revival of the annual Keller/Aust/Rose picnic is being planned at Fort Borst Park on July 28th, 2007, and we would like to revive this distinctive family custom. Does anyone know the name of those hats and where they were purchased and if they're still available? Thank You.

In 1900 his widow Lucretia is listed as residing in Seattle with two sons, so Marcus seems to have died between the years 1890 and 1900. Any help in determining his date of death and burial location would be very much appreciated.

Dan Brown 10 Mar 2007
I'm hoping someone who has access to yearly Polk directories for Lewis County and to a scanner can help with a project. I know from family tradition and other sources that my Browns lived in Lewis Co for many years since about 1910. Besides Chehalis and Centralia, it's possible that my Browns might be found in any town or lumber camp such as Vader, Ryderwood, Doty, Pluvius, Ashlock, Pe Ell, Dryad, McCormick, Walville, Frances, Lebam, Holcomb, Menlo, Adna, Ceres, Meskill, and others including the upper Cowlitz area of Morton and Mossyrock.
I would like to eventually have a collection of scanned images of all pages with Brown names within any of the Lewis Co towns and for all years available.

We are looking for information on my husband Richard Allen Sexton's great-grandfather, Frank Doty Sexton aka F.D. Sexton. Our cousin received today F.D. Sexton's death certificate and from it his date of birth 5 September 1850. He died in Chehalis 7 March 1938 at age 87 years 7 months and 2 days. He is buried at Fern Hill. Per certificate name of father still Unknown and per informant name of mother unknown. He was born in PA or Kentucky, as some census state Pennsylvania other Kentucky. His mother was Betsy J. Wiley and step-father James L. Wiley this information from the Lewis county 1880 census. He was married to Lena Farr born in Canada. F.D. & Lena had 3 children; Frank E. (my husband's grandfather) Born in Lewis county 15 June 1882 (per his Teamster Registration Card), Grace L. Born in Lewis county 20 July 1884 died 20 Aug 1892 and Edna Violet born in Lewis county 1887 and we believe she married Golden Temple. Lena died in Lewis county 2 Mar 1888 at age 27. Grace and Lena are buried at Fern Hill.
Frank then married Katherine "Katie" and they had children, Francis b 1891, Mabel b 29 April 1893, Mayo M? b 1894,Mary E b 1895, John b 1896 Infant b June 1898 died Dec 1898 and William b 1902. Katie b 1870 & died at age 40 16 Mar 1910. We do not know where Katie is buried. Sometime after Katie's death F.D. remarried a lady named Minerva and moved to San Juan County @ Friday Harbor WA, where he was the Town Marshall and street commissioner. We went to Fern Hill in 2004 and there was a headstone F.D.Sexton with no dates, so we do not know if he is buried there or not. His mother, step-father, and half-sister Mary Katherine "Wiley" Dean are buried there as well as his son Frank E. and daughter in-law Effie "Fiscus" Sexton. The Stockand's were half-brother to Lena "Farr" Sexton.
We would really like information other than census on F.D. and his children, also his date of birth and death. His father's name and place of birth would be very helpful.
My husband's other grandfather George K. Miller was married to Laura Elizabeth Davis of the Mark Floyd Davis family and I know that there is a lot of information already available for them. We have the History of Lewis County Washington we purchased at the Historical Museum in Chehalis several years ago. In that there is a James Sexton on the Davis Spouse page - wondering if anyone knows how he is related?
Anyone with connection to any members of this branch of the Sexton Family Tree, please contact us. Thank You So Much. We are truly grateful for any help available.
