[or-roots] timber in Whitman County WA

MessageDale --

Have you checked death records in Washington?  I live near Olympia, WA (right now I'm in the sunshine of Yuma, AZ).  Will be going home in April.  If you'll remind me with an e-mail, I'll go to the library in Olympia and see if I can find a death date for Thomas in Washington state.  The on-line death index starts with 1940, but earlier records are on microfilm.

    Have to pop in here.  I have been searching for my great grandfather for years.  I didn't know if he died or what, I only knew that he and his wife divorced and she remarried.  They were both born in Oregon and my grandmother was too.  It never occurred to me to look in Washington.  Can you believe that I found him with a new wife living in Whitman in the 1910 census and on top of that I found my grandmother's first husband also living in Whitman in the same census.  Now if I could just find out what happened to him after that.  He just disappears.

    His name was Thomas Howell and he too had remarried a woman who had a daughter.  I don't know where they got married but the census said they had been married either 3 or 4 years, I can't remember.
