[or-roots] A Query

[Barbara Wulf]

Noah registered for the draft  5 Jun 1917 at Walla Walla.  At that time he had a wife and child.  Do you have record that he had any other children?

He is in California in 1920 living with his father.  He is listed as divorced at that time.

He got permission to join the navy 25 Dec 1917 at Tracy California.

You might be looking in Washington for the death of this little girl.

  I have only been on the list a few days and I think I know why some people are dropping.  Maybe they are new like me and haven't seen anything yet related to genealogy.

  I will try to do a query and I hope someone out there can help me.  I am trying to find a death record for a child named Verna Marie Hardwick.  I think she died sometime between 1915 and 1919.  She was the child of Noah Hardwick and Versey Venus Howell.  She was born Sept. 11, 1914 in Oregon, but I don't know where.  I also would like to have an actual record of her birth as this date was given to me by a volunteer at the Blue Mountain Genealogical Society and she didn't tell me where she got it.

  This child is a total mystery in my family.  The legend was that she was drowned in the Columbia river by her father who had gone berserk.  I don't think I believe this story because I have found Noah Hardwick in the 1920 census or maybe it was the 1930 living with a new wife and 2 children.  He had a brother named Jesse that seems to have dropped off the planet about 1919.  I found him living (Jesse, that is) in Portland in the City Directory of 1918.  He was living with his brother's wife at the time.  Does anyone have access to early obituaries in Portland?  

  I know this is more than one query, sorry.  I am just very frustrated over this as I really want to know the truth.
