DOWNS posted by Beth Goble on Sunday, August 2, 1998

Looking for information about my Great Grandfather D.A. Downs. Born 1854 Ind. Died 1912 Warm Springs (State Hospital), MT. According to the hospital records, he was transfered from Hill Co. and died a day later. According to his state death certificate he had lived in Mt for two years. Family stories say he was living in Havre. I have been unable to locate him in the 1910 census. Since Hill county did not exist until 1912 I'm assuming this is the county I need. Any help will be greatly appreciated. He was the only known member of his immediate family living in Montana at the time. His wife and children were still in WA state. Thanks, Beth Goble, Amboy, WA.

My great aunt & uncle William and Elizabeth "Lizzie" Duckering lived in Big Sandy. They moved with other relatives from Minn between 1890 and 1910 to Chouteau Co. Their 4 daughters Annabelle Button, Cora Hunt, Dora Clark & Margorie Cornett all lived there. I have a letter dated Dec 11th, 1914 from Big Sandy written to Lizzies mom "Louisa Blair" telling all about the crops, the weather, and family gossip. Other relatives that moved there were of the surname Ramey and Crow. I am interested in making contacts with relatives and need to find the death date as well as the graveyard of William & Elizabeth Duckering. Thanks for any help....John Blair

HART, MURRAY posted by Mary Hart on Thursday, January 21, 1999

Could someone please look up a marriage record for me. There should be a marriage record in 1902/1903 for John Morgan Hart and Margaret Murray. I believe they lived in Chinook and that Choteau County included Chinook at that time. Would appreciate it very much -- this man and his family has been lost to us since he left home in Missouri/Iowa about 1850 -- this may be a second marriage for him. Appreciate any and all help.
