[or-roots] A Query

[Sue Steward]

There's a little confusion about Noah Hardwick's middle iitial.  Here are
things I found on Ancestry.com    Noah Hardwick married Venus Howell,
daughter of Thomas Howell and Lillie Mae Hoskins.  Children:  Verna Maried
(?) Hardwick.  No dates or anything.  Information submitted by B. King
Kingb247 at aol.com    This submission shows Venus was married second to Selden
Flynn and their first child was Clifford Flynn?? plus 3 daughters.   Also
incidates she was married third to J. Ernest Chedar and they had 1 daughter,
Ruth Chedar.  Assume this B. King might be a good resource to at least check
with.

1910 census lists Noah's mother as A. M. Hardwick, don't know if this might
be her.

Just a comment in response to your comment.  I think this group is very good
at checking on genealogy and being willing to help others.  However, if
there are no queries, I think sharing memories of earlier times in Oregon
is very good in helping to fill in the blanks about what your ancestors
might have done in earlier time periods.

Good luck!

Sue

Subject: [or-roots] A Query

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.
