[or-roots] Julia Ann Cooper Matney

[Dan-M]

Hi Layne - well, as I noticed, there are 2 maybe 3 Julia Ann Coopers, this one as the carpet weaver, 1900, looks like the wrong one if we have one in obit 1892. So I have put all these files in one folder so I can compare what people find.
   As with Walter, it just dont make sense how some people with lands can just drop out of existence with out legal papers some place.
   I been 12 years on just these 2.
Also Tim Purdy sent me a file that hey had bought and sold a hotel on Alturas about the same year of the divorce and his death. Or cease of local existence. She, Julia was there too.  I am in a mystery here on these people.
   One other story - is, my elder Aunt, 90 years old in 1998, told me Julia was in family lore as adopted Cherokee, I have not seen proof of that or proof of birth to the Cooper either. 
   I will stick to this one subject since it seem the rest has no real mystery like this part.
I can call in and pay for copies ?
If they find any thing at all on Walter or Julia, any years. I have the divorce papers, the probate ( Oregon one) and something about continued in Marion co, I never found any thing on that.
Dan

  OR-Rooters,

   

  In attempting to help Dan with this brick wall some time back, I found an entry on the 1900 Polk Co census that looks to be a match for Julia. If this is the same person she is going by her first married surname and gave her years of marriage to coincide with her first marriage.  I love the occupation as well, "carpet weaver".

  She certainly was an elusive woman!

   

  Regards,
