Our thoughts and prayers go out to family and friends left behind. William (Bill) L. Quist , Husband of Former Member Leslie Quist , (19 July 1939 - 18 June 2016) Merrill Howard Switzer , Jr., Former member, (8 May 1921 - 20 June 2016) Lawrence D. Whitmore , Husband of Long Time Member Ada Ruth Whitmore , (24 April 1928 - 12 June 2016) Mary Darlene Leonard , Former Long Time Member, (1 February 1940 - 28 April 2016) George Edward McClaine , Long Time Member, (27 January 1932 - 14 August 2016) LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Sir, I enjoyed reading about my great grandmother, Harriet Dorinda Hatton Thorp Hadley in the last issue of the Bulletin. [March 2016] She died when I was nine years old, so I knew her in my youth. I am writing to correct one inaccuracy in the story and that is the date of her husband Bayless' death. I have tried to find documentation of his death for many years without success. Recently in perusing the Yakima Herald for 1890, I was surprised to find it in a small notice called "Local Brevities". This stated he died on September 27, 1890 at the home of his brother Leonard L. Thorp . Family history is that he and Harriet and their six children were living on a ranch on Crabb Creek in eastern Washington when he died in Yakima, and that Harriet had to come to Yakima in a buggy with the six children to be near family. In the interests of genealogical accuracy I thought it important to give the correct death date. Comment: Leonard Luther Thorp was Bayless' older brother. Bayless' age of 42 would suggest he was born in 1848. According to my mother, Echo Dallas Thorp Benoit (1911-1992) he was buried at a site next to the Naches River where the Nelson Railroad bridge subsequently came and his grave was moved, she thought to a cemetery on North 5th Avenue in Yakima, although I have not found evidence of this. The pioneer cemetery near the Naches River is close to where he was thought to be buried, but I can find no marker there to confirm he was interred there. Sincerely, Fred Benoit Vancouver, WA Bayles Thorp Obituary; Yakima Herald; Thursday, October 2, 1890; Page 3 --Died at the residence of Leonard L. Thorp on the Natcheez, Saturday September 27th, Bayless B. Thorp , aged 42 years. The funeral was held on Sunday, Dr. J. M. Beck reading the service. ↔↔↔↔↔↔↔↔↔↔↔↔↔↔↔↔↔ OLD DISEASE NAMES AND THEIR MODERN DEFINITIONS PROTEIN DISEASE : Glomerulonephritis, a once relatively common childhood kidney disease that causes the kidney to leak protein. This is a secondary (allergic) reaction to certain kinds of strep infections
3 SOCIETY NEWS What is Happening in Our Library Sue Ericksen and Opal Myhres have finally worked through all of the stacks and drawers full of old bulletins, quarterlies and gifts to the library. Don Boatright has been binding those that we have piled on his workbench. So if you are interested in bulletins from where your families were at one time, check the shelves, because you might find a new treasure. Richard Kyle and Pat Bundy always have interesting items to share with the afternoon programs that happen regularly during the month. Judy Schuster had to cancel her beginners class for lack of registrations. People new to genealogy, and people who have been researching for a long time, often don't realize how important it is to go back to the basics. The classes will show you all the ways, new and old, to locate your family information. Thanks to all of the volunteers who keep our wonderful library alive and well. You are all so special and appreciated. The Library has a new sound system, thanks to Richard Adams and some generous donations from our members. It makes handling our business at the meetings much easier. Thank You to the June Bulletin Crew Opal Myhres , Barbie Buchanan , Vivian Hunt and Frank McLean . Thank you also to Sue Ericksen and Don Boatright for their work on the mailing list.

18 STORIES BURIED BENEATH THE STONES A Tribute To Our Unsung Pioneers (Concept Borrowed from The Genealogical Society of Central Missouri; GSCM Reporter) Anson Slater White Anson Slater White was born December 20, 1848 in Grant County, Wisconsin. Anson's father, William White , was a wheelwright and farmer. About 1850 William left his family in Wisconsin and crossed the plains, settling in Oregon Territory in the new town of Chehalis. In 1851 William sent for his family. William's wife, Margaret M. ( Stewart ) White brought her family across the plains to join her husband on a donation claim near Olympia. Anson was only two years old when this trip was made. In 1856 William became a casualty of the Puget Sound Treaty War. While the family was returning home from church, William and another settler were killed by Indians. The Indians then raided the White homestead and took all of their horses. Margaret remarried to Stephen Duley Ruddell and lived out her life on the homestead Anson remained on the farm with his mother and the rest of the family until he reached the age of sixteen. For a couple of years he worked in various occupations until he returned to the home place for several years. After clerking for a year, Anson traveled to the Yakima Valley with a surveying party. Impressed with the opportunities in the area he took up a pre-emption claim on the Wenas. He worked the claim for one year after which he returned to the Sound area. For several years he divided his time between the Sound and the Yakima Valley. Finally in 1878 he filed a homestead claim on 160 acres in the Cowiche area. Before long he added another 600 acres to his holdings. Anson specialized in dairy farming and raising cattle. In 1869, while in the Olympia area, he married Nancy A. Hale . Samuel Lee White was born September 3, 1871 and died 4 days later. Nancy apparently died from complications resulting from the birth of her son. In 1875 Anson married a second time to Miss Almeda Tigard . Almeda and Anson were the parents of seven children all born in Yakima County except for the eldest who was born in Olympia. Anson died March 19, 1931, at the age of 83, after suffering a heart attack at his home in Cowiche. He was laid to rest in Tahoma Cemetery in Yakima. Anson White was considered to be a self made man who, through hard work, helped to build this country. William Andrew White was born November 6, 1875 and died April 8, 1930 in Yakima. William married Lottie Lorena Howard on March 30, 1908 in Benton County and they had one son Charles Clifford White . William is enumerated as a widow on the 1910 Census so Lottie apparently died prior to 1910. He then married Ruth Mildred Lambdin on January 1, 1915 in Yakima County and eventually took over the family farm. William and Ruth had four children: Norma Almeda White , Lucy Allen White , Neoma Ruth White , and William Andrew White . Lillie Margaret White was born September 27, 1878 and died January 2, 1971. Margaret worked as milliner and was employed by two of Yakima's first department stores. She lived for a time in both Portland and Spokane where she was a hat designer. She married Benjamin Lee Chaney on June 2, 1907 in North Yakima. Margaret and Ben ranched on her share of the family homestead in Cowiche. They had a daughter Lida Etheyne Chaney .
19 Robert Guy White was born September 1, 1880 and died March 6, 1954 in Yakima. Robert first married Jessie May Parrott on September 29,1904 in Spokane County. They raised two daughters and two sons: Lois Alleen White , Iris L. White , Robert Andrew White and Arthur Guy White . A fifth child, Mary Almeda White , died at the age of 1 year. Guy and Jessie apparently divorced and he married a second time to Cora Alice Hingston on June 15, 1942. He lived in Cowiche almost all of his life, except for a short time when he lived on the Reservation and in the Athanum district. Roy Anson White was born July 25, 1882 and died June 8, 1955 in Yakima. Roy married Ella Lavena Seely October 25, 1903 in North Yakima and had three sons, one of which died as a toddler (Richard Seeley White ). When Roy died he was survived by his two sons, Harry Hugh White and John H. White . He homesteaded four miles north of Sawyer and later developed a ranch in Moxee. Roy also operated a threshing machine throughout the Yakima Valley. Sarah Allene White was born June 16, 1884 and died February 24, 1981. Allene taught school in the Yakima Valley for many years. She was also involved in several local organizations. She married George E. Wright on April 6, 1932 in Kittitas County. She had no children. Charles Hugh White was born February 20, 1888 and died June 25, 1946 in Yakima. Charles married Miss Caddie Bonney on November 16, 1911 in Thurston County. As a young man Charles worked as paper boy for the old Yakima Herald newspaper. Although he attended the business college in Yakima, he chose to engage in ranching like his father. He bought 40 acres of the old homestead and raised hay and grain as well as sheep and hogs. He helped build all of the telephone lines west of Yakima including Cowiche, Gromore, Wiley City, and Tieton. Charles and Caddie raised three children: Almeda Bonney White , Evelyn White and Clarence Anson White . One son, Charles Hugh White died as an infant. Harry Lee White was born March 11, 1891 and died April 4, 1983. Lee married Celia D. Upham on January 30, 1918 and had two daughters and a son. Audrey E. White , Lorraine F. White , and Richard Lee White . H. Lee assisted his father and brother in the installation and operation of the Cowiche Telephone Company (early 1900's). He also was involved in the newly constructed Tieton Irrigation Project.

20 MEET OUR MEMBERS AND FELLOW GENEALOGISTS Judy Lynn SCHUSTER My name is Judy Lynn Jones Sander Schuster. I was born in White Salmon, Washington where my parents were renting property and trying to live on a farmer's income. We moved to Naches when I was just a toddler. Dad went to work as a logger. All my growing up years were spent there until I married my first husband and left home. I have been working on my family history for about 45 years, give or take. My former sister-in- law gave me a gift membership in the Yakima Valley Genealogical Society in the mid 70's, so I have been a member for about 35-38 years. I became interested in my family history in the late 1960's. My father's oldest sister decided to "clean house" and enlisted my brother to help haul "the garbage" to the dump. Most of "the garbage" was re-routed to my parent's home. Going through the items and family pictures, I became intrigued by my family history. A document written by my father's Aunt Ella detailed memories of growing up in Tennessee and also gave a short family genealogy. That genealogy became the basis for my research. I made lots of mistakes in the beginning, but eventually acquired some proper techniques and my family tree has expanded to include my mother's line as well as my x-husband's line and my current husband's line. If I could travel back in time and interview one ancestor, it would be my third great grandmother, Sarah Hays Jones . Sarah was born in 1793 in South Carolina or maybe North Carolina. She married my third great grandfather, Russell Jones , about 1815 in North Carolina (probably Buncombe County) and by 1820 they were living in Cocke County, Tennessee where most of their descendants remained for over 100 years. Sarah had at least one sibling, Mary Hays , who married Joseph Young . Mary and Sarah are believed to be related to Colonel Joseph Hays who was hung by the British during the Revolutionary War. I would really like to ask Sarah where she was born, where she grew up, how many siblings she had and especially the names of her parents. Sarah Hays Jones is one of my "brick walls". Christopher Dale Cook My name is Christopher Dale Cook . I was born in Madison, Wisconsin but I spent my "growing up years" in Yakima, Washington. I have been working on my family history for the last 2 to 3 years and I have been a member of the Yakima Valley Genealogical Society for two years. When my mother got sick, she told me that there was so much we didn't know about my father's family. There were many secrets. My mother's family has had books published, so I decided to try and locate some stuff on my father's family. My father had told us that there was no other family. I have since proven him wrong. If I could travel back in time and interview one ancestor it would be Henry Cook and his wife Eliza. They came from England about 1835. I would like to ask about their travels and their family. My most interesting ancestors would be Arthur and Cora Mae Cook . They are first cousins who got married in 1911. This marriage caused the family to split...... the family has not come back together to this day. There is no special event that happened that I would have liked to participate in, I would just like to hover over and watch the families as they traveled and lived their lives. The most satisfying part of doing my family research is being able to prove my father wrong. It is nice to know that I have some relatives, because I grew up with no cousins. ↔↔↔↔↔↔↔↔↔↔↔↔↔↔

The loss to the association was from $50 to $100. 22 FROM NEBRASKA TO WASHINGTON, Cont. by Cora M. Middleton Daughter of Johnathan Cable Middleton & Maria Belle Kerlin 13 October 1890-23 July 1983
One Autumn Ruth and I went hop-picking with neighbors. We were young and inexperienced and were so long in filling the large box, that the hops kept settling, so we had to pick a lot more than necessary to earn our dollar. Not far from where we camped, the Indian pickers had their wigwams. The squaws brought their babies in cradle boards which they propped against a pole or box. One night we were awakened by a great noise -- the Indians were chanting, dancing and pounding pans. We were told the next morning this was to frighten away evil spirits because a woman was having a baby. We sometimes saw groups of Indians on their spotted ponies as they came from the reservation to work in the valley. On the farm in Outlook in 1917 Father hired Indians to pick potatoes. They put up their wigwams in our barnyard. In those days the older Indians spoke little or no English. One squaw came to the house saying she had a sick foot. She had jumped from her pony onto a plank with a nail in it. Mother bathed her foot, put on disinfectant, and bandaged it. Another squaw came and, after sitting silent for a long time, asked to borrow some bread. It turned out that she wanted flour to make bread. Of course no one expected it to be returned. Going past the wigwams one chilly September morning I met a small Indian boy wearing only a cotton shirt, while I was wearing a coat. How immune to the cold one can get! We never expected to gather any eggs while the Indians were there. I have often wished that I had visited with these people. It could have been very interesting, but I was as shy as they were. Later at some time we all packed prunes, peaches and apples, as it was almost the only way we could earn money. One year Ruth, Leona and I were packing prunes at McCurdy's when the huge barn, with a loft full of hay, caught fire during the night. The young man sleeping in the loft escaped and the horses were led from the barn, but several cows and the children's pony, in a corral attached to the barn, died. The new tent, which with difficulty we had persuaded Father to buy, was burned full of holes by hot cinders, which we forgot to shake out when we hurriedly pulled it down and dragged it away. There was a school holiday, a barbecue on Harrison Hill, when the North Pacific Railroad came to Sunnyside on February 2, 1906. Some 3,000 people gathered to celebrate. The railway meant that Father and everyone else now didn't have to make the long nine-mile haul to Mabton with baled hay, fruit, etc. Up to this time all were prospering, but difficult times were just beginning. Prices of hay and potatoes fell very low, while the land tax, plus the cost of water for irrigation, remained high. One year there was just no sale for hay, so Father and others made a contract to winter feed cattle with alfalfa hay. Father had a herd of probably 50 or more long-horned Texas steers from the range. They did not try this again, as it was not profitable. One day two of the powerful animals began fighting. Father went out with a pitchfork to separate them, while we all watched anxiously from the windows. The appearance of alkali in patches on the land caused by the water lying without drainage was worrying everyone. It was beginning to show on Father's 80 acres. He was also finding it difficult to keep the land and irrigation taxes and his debts paid, so he sold
23 the farm in 1909 and bought 40 acres four miles from Sunnyside. There he and Mother decided to have a very large new house built. I am sure they wanted to have a fine home for their children. I visited it recently. Two families occupy it now in apartments on the first and second floors. We were now living four miles from Sunnyside. Ruth and I wanted to continue at the school there, so Father bought a horse and buggy for us to drive to and from school. Poor Molly, standing all day in the school stables, got very restless, so when we hitched her to the buggy after school she was so impatient and anxious to be off that one of us had to hold her head, while the other one got into the buggy, then, after several attempts, the "head holder" would manage to jump in! Off we would go like the wind until Molly felt like taking it easier. Once Hester and Laura were with us and I accidentally dropped the lines. Fortunately Molly was only trotting so I jumped out to grab them, but stumbled and fell and there was Ruth, Laura and Hester without any means of stopping the horse so Hester decided to try pulling her tail and calling "Whoa" but Molly calmly trotted on. Finally, by sprinting, I caught up and grabbed the lines! It could have been serious. The Spring of 1911 I graduated from high school and Ruth became engaged. Mother, with Ruth's and my help, made my graduation dress and Ruth's wedding dress. She always liked to make nice clothes for her daughters even when she was the one most in need of something new. It was in the big house that Ruth and Bernard were married the evening of September 6, 1911 under a bower of flowers and decorations, before a houseful of guests. Afterwards a nice supper was served. I made the wedding cake and the customary fruit cake. Again alkali began to appear on the land so it was decided to sell and move to Oregon, as Uncle George had done. Father got a good price for the land and a farm was purchased at Tigard, near Portland. It was there that Leona, Carl, Laura and Hester attended a one - room school with a man as teacher. He took little interest in their education and they learned little. None of the family liked living near Portland, nor was the farm profitable, so the farm was sold and they moved back to Yakima, Washington. This time Father bought the general store in Outlook and the family lived in rooms at the back of the building. I believe that Father enjoyed keeping store, with one assistant. Besides groceries there was hardware and many odds and ends for sale. When Indians were in the district to work during the harvest, they went to the store but usually stayed a long time before buying, and had to be watched or things just disappeared and Carl believes that the assistant helped himself to some funds, which was possible because he kept the accounts. The business was not making much profit so it was sold in 1913 to Reece Brothers of Sunnyside, but they insisted that two small houses in Sunnyside and two acres of peach orchard on Harrison Hill be included in the payment, which later proved to be a good thing for when Father retired he and Mother lived in one of the houses. Also included was a 20-acre farm a mile north of Outlook School. On it was quite a nice house. The folks lived there about 16 years. While there Leona and Laura graduated from the Outlook School and it was where Carl and Myrtle were married on February 22, 1918. As was done for Ruth's wedding, it was held in the evening, the house was decorated and the bride wore a veil, and there was a houseful of guests, with a supper served afterward. Not long afterward, Carl entered the Army. He did no fighting but he very nearly died of flu during the terrible epidemic at the close of the First World War.
24 When Father received $200.00 from his father's estate in 1915/16, he and Mother went to Sunnyside and bought their first car -- a Studebaker 7-seater. The agent took Father out once or twice and gave some driving instructions. No driving tests or driving licenses were required! We were all thrilled with the car, especially Father, but the popular song of the day "Get Out and Get Under" certainly applied! Tires were so very poor and the roads were mostly dirt or gravel. Father must have inherited a liking for pioneering for after years in Washington, when 63 years old, he bought land in Mexico and hoped to immigrate. It so happened that Father had some money in the bank, which was most unusual, when an agent came to Yakima selling land on Palminto del Verde Island near Tescopan, Sinaloa, Mexico. Father bought 62 acres for a total of $2,160. The plan was to build an American settlement and grow tropical fruit, especially bananas. The agent must have been most persuasive for many in the valley did invest. One of our near neighbors sold his farm and, lovely home and went to Mexico. Twenty- two people went first and were followed by a few more, all with high hopes of making a fortune. It is possible that they could have done well if the Mexican government had cooperated and there had been a better, quicker way of getting the fruit to market. Gradually, those who went to the Island returned. Father's plot and I believe most of the land went back to the previous owner, a woman in California, or to the Mexican government for tax default. I was in Hawaii when I received a letter so full of enthusiasm from Mother telling of the purchase. I wept and couldn't sleep that night, because I felt it was not a wise investment, especially at Father's age. I wondered if my writing about how much I liked Hawaii had something to do with Father's buying the land. The folks had some quite good years on the Outlook Farm but things went very badly in the late 1920's, when the awful depression struck the whole country. Banks failed and Father, with hundreds of others, lost his farm to the government because he couldn't pay the land and irrigation taxes. Leona and Clyde took it over for a while, renting it from a Mr. Snyder who must have bought it from the government very cheaply by paying the taxes. Men with cash could become quite wealthy by buying the farms and property lost to the government. I know of one man who did. The dealing embarrassed his daughter. Laura, while teaching, had purchased 20 acres of the 80 acres which the folks had bought when we first came West. She invited Father and Mother, with Uncle Robert’s help, to take over the farm, which was a wonderful thing to do, and for which, I believe, she received nothing, not even for taxes. When on this farm at Sunnyside, the folks took a trip East, spending some time with Laura and Edward in Yorkville, Ohio, and were taken by Ed to Columbus, where Father revisited the district where he had spent his childhood. He was thrilled when he recognized a hill which was near where his childhood home had been. This enabled him to locate some of his Middleton cousins. They also enjoyed visiting with all of their relatives in Nebraska and Kansas. I am really proud of having had such fine parents and grateful for all they did for my brother, sisters and me in spite of so many difficulties. ↔↔↔↔↔↔↔↔↔↔↔↔↔↔↔↔ OLD DISEASE NAMES AND THEIR MODERN DEFINITIONS COSTIVENESS : Constipation 25 DO YOU KNOW......
