Blanche McFadden was my grandmother's sister and they probably were in Columbia City in 1920 though all I have is my grandmother's address book from the 40's. I'd like to know more about her and would love to have a copy of the obit if it's not too much trouble. I'd also like to learn more about her (and my) ancestors if I could locate her descendents. My address is George Barbour, 118 Ashwyn Court, Cary, NC 27511. Anything we can do for you?

Subject: John Bennet, bap. 18 December 1774 Jay, I don't know if this is your man or not. The information comes from pages 147 amd 148 of Wilson V. Ledley's long article on the BENNET family that was reprinted in Volume I of "Genealogies of Long Island Families." The John Bennet baptized on 18 Decmber 1774 had the full name of John Van Meter Bennet. He was the son of William Bennet (born about 1741) and his second wife, Aaltje Van Mater, who was the daughter of Cyrenius Van Mater and Abigail Lefferts. Aaltje was the widow of Albert Polhemus. William Bennet had married his first wife on 9 November 1766 in the Freehold-Middletown Church, NJ. She was Elizabeth Van Mater, the daughter of Benjamin Van Mater and Elizabeth Lane. William and Elizabeth had one child, a daughter "Yda" baptised in the same church on 23 July 1769. She grew up to marry one William Van Mater. William Bennet and Aatje his second wife had the following children: 1. Elizabeth, bap. 27 June 1773 2. John Van Mater, bap. 18 Dec. 1774 3. Albert, bap. 28 July 1776 4. Cyrenus, bap. 22 August 1779 As you can see, the VAN MATER connections are thick on the ground!!!!!

The word marion kept being put in there from somewhere. Or, the return addx never worked with the www in it. They have just changed machines, and changed some of the rules. Probably the header works now. Thanks for your comments. Glad to help. Deer Island is a little junction. Probably 30 families at most. A quarter of the way from St Helens to Rainier. Barbara say there really is an island, but I have not known that. Must have been once. Or perhaps only the stock ranch was on the island. There is the Deer Island Store, and thats it. Their prices are too high. Ha. Just a truck stop.

Do you want "a ton" more papers telling about steamships on the Columbia River? The local County History Booklets have many articles re steamships -- from those being built here -- delivering everything to little towns along the river (including Deer Island, I am sure) -- to ferrying the trains from Goble, (next town north of Deer Isl.) across to the tracks at Kalama in Washington to go to Seattle. I don't think there was a particular dock at D.I. , but Goble had a major dock. St Helens was "major port/city" before Portland!! HOWEVER, I did NOT find the Steamer Greyhound mentioned by name in these articles. If you would like some of these great stories, send us your "snail mail" address.

Any help? ===========We arent sure what the County Historian was. There was a great page written by Larry Rae - he got disgusted and left. Dont think he was oficial anything. He is a great researcher. His problem is that he is young enough to need income, and he hoped people would pay him for things he dug up. Bob Brown is head of Historical Society. I tried to get a page going for him. It is at http://www.columbia-center.org/county/history/histsoc.htm It exists. Has had no work on it since I wrote it a few months ago. Thats the only set of VISUALS I have been willing to use. The flag loads FAST. Otherwise, I wouldnt use. And the people at the table - even faster. ==CHEEERS===TOM=======
