[or-roots] A Query

[Harguess, Dale]

Thank you so much.  That is wonderful information.  Now if I could only
find the divorce papers.  I have a record of his first marriage and yes
he did have two children by the first marriage.  The girl Verna Marie
Hardwick and a son Clifton Carl Hardwick (he is my uncle and still
living at age 96).  I have the birth record of my uncle but not one for
the daughter.

I wonder if he actually did join the Navy?  That would be amazing if he
did, because my uncle Cliff was in the Navy for 15 years.
Unfortunately, he never knew his father.

Thank you so much.

Dale

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.
