Wayne Galvin Wed., June 4, 1997
I'm a researcher for the Lewis County Historical Society in Chehalis, Washington looking for info on the Veness family that operated a large mill at Independence, OR in 1880-1890s.
John (Jack) Allen Veness (1847 - 1925) came west to Salem with his wife Carrie (nee Hall) from New Brunswick in the early 1880's (m. 1872, imm. 1872) who bore him one son Fred (1878 - 1953) at Fairfield ME. His brother George (1857-1919) joined Jack in 1884. George married Laura Jeannie (Jane) Keithly in Buena Vista, OR in 1886 and two weeks later Jack married Augusta (Gussie) Baldwin also in Buena Vista. No divorce records on Jack and Carrie in either Polk or Mason counties! In 1888 Jack, George and families came to Winlock, Washington Territory and Jack bought into the Prescott & Furber mill. Rumor has it Carrie went to Seattle with Jack's son Fred who later rejoined his father in Winlock. Jack still maintained the mill at Independence and a residence in Oregon because he served in the Oregon legislature (House) in 1891. In the 1900s Jack was elected to the Washington legislature, one term in the house, two in the Senate. In 1904 Jack and Gussie moved to Portland where they built a palatial home (811 NW 20th) and lived at least until Jack's death in 1925. An obit in the Astoria Budget shows Gussie died in 1940.
I'd like to find divorce records on Jack and Carrie and know what happened to Gussie after Jack's death.
Jack and Gussie had one daughter, Genevieve Marie; she married Frederick Newman of Oakland CA in 1913 -- I believe they resided initially in Portland where Mr. Newman practiced law. Later they lived in Seaside, OR. As far as I know they had one son, John (1921-?). I'd also like to know what became of Marie Newman, her family and decedents.
The Venesses were major players in the early Northwest timber industry and the building of Winlock. Unfortunately their story has all but disappeared into the mists of time. I am trying to uncover and document it before it's too late.
