I am looking for Harry Edwin Town. We do not know this person but he would
be my husband's grandfather. This is the grand total of what we know:
Harry Edwin Town is supposed to be his full name. b. Centralia, WA (Lewis County ?) no year listed - according to my sister-in-law from something she saw in a newspaper article. I have not seen it. I use the formula of a new generation every 20 years to estimate a birth of a parent. I'm looking at 1870's (if age 20-30 or early 1880's if he was the average age of 18-20 when he married. However, Emma was about 26 at her marriage. Harry married 21 Sep 1897 in ?? to Emma Alice Owen b. 1871 Carlinville, IL. Dau of Ephrem L. Owen - I have his tree. My husband knew this grandmother but not the grandfather. My husband remembers his father going to the Chicago, IL area to see him just before he died in 1950-1963 time-frame. Two children were born to this marriage: Burr Town in 1901 in Spirit Lake, IA and a Dorothea? b. probably IA. but she is not on the 1910 census for Spirit Lake, IA and could be from the second marriage. Emma and Burr are on the 1910 census IA. A second marriage for Emma produced another son with a Wellemeyer living in the area. We knew that son and his son. That is the extend of my knowledge. We do not know if Harry married a second time. I assume he probably did. I could be wrong.

Four of their married children also moved to the same area: Gertie Hobbs Pettys, Hattie Hobbs Wenner, Myrtie Hobbs Wenner, & Samuel Hobbs. My grandfather Walter Raymond Hobbs was also a son of Calvin Walker but he stayed in North Dakota.

I'm looking for descendents and relatives of John STEINBERGER and Glenore LEACH. The 1910 census shows John STEINBERGER, son of Joseph living on Third Street in Toledo, WA. Joseph was a hotel keeper. Glenore Leach Steinberger (Glennie) is my second cousin. I know Glenore married a John Steinberger and this is a leap of faith that the one she married is the same one from the census. His age is in the right range.

Sharon Fitzpatrick Friday, February 2, 2001
I am looking for information on my husband's father, Elmer Grant Fitzpatrick. According to my husband's birth certificate, Elmer was born in Swofford, Washington 1/28/1904. I do not believe that Elmer's parents were in the Swofford area very long. His mother Margaret Cameline Moody was in Watauga County, NC in the 1900 census. She was born in Beaver Dam, Watauga, NC 11/7/1883. His father, Will Fitzpatrick was born in Calaveras County, CA 9/30/1872. I have no idea why they were in Swofford when Elmer was born. They left Swofford fairly soon after Elmer's birth. I believe they went by covered wagon to Grant's Pass, Oregon and Bakersfield, California before stopping in Arizona where Elmer's younger sisters were born: Ula Mae was born 2/9/1906 and Ruby Estil was born 6/15/1911. The family later went on to Las Cruces, New Mexico. I would love to find out more about them while they were in Washington
State. Thanks for any help that anyone can provide.

Dennis Boswell Saturday, January 6, 2001
I would to post a query for a relative of mine who was born in Lewis County ca. 1886-1887. Her name is Dorothy May Boswell. From her daughter's CA birth certificate, I learned that Dorothy May Boswell was age 31 in 1918 and was born in Chehalis (spelled "Chalis" on the birth certificate), State of Washington. That would suggest a birth year in Chehalis, Lewis County of 1886-1887. I am trying to identify Dorothy May Boswell's mother and father. From family tradition alone, I am told her father was one George Charles Boswell and her mother might have had the given name of Leila or Lelli with a
maiden name of Lind or Lang.
