like the little girl must have already died by 1917 since it said he only
had one child. I think that is probably correct because my aunt Betty saw
a picture of the two children and my uncle was an infant at the time and she
said the little girl looked to be about 2 or 3 so she obviously died very
young.</span></font></p>

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>I have only been on the list a few
days and I think I know why some people are dropping. Maybe they are new
like me and haven’t seen anything yet related to genealogy.</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>I will try to do a query and I hope
someone out there can help me. I am trying to find a death record for a
child named Verna Marie Hardwick. I think she died sometime between 1915
and 1919. She was the child of Noah Hardwick and Versey Venus
Howell. She was born Sept. 11, 1914 in Oregon, but I don’t know
where. I also would like to have an actual record of her birth as this
date was given to me by a volunteer at the Blue Mountain Genealogical Society
and she didn’t tell me where she got it.</span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>This child is a total mystery in my
family. The legend was that she was drowned in the Columbia river by her
father who had gone berserk. I don’t think I believe this story
because I have found Noah Hardwick in the 1920 census or maybe it was the 1930
living with a new wife and 2 children. He had a brother named Jesse that
seems to have dropped off the planet about 1919. I found him living
(Jesse, that is) in Portland in the City Directory of 1918. He was living
with his brother’s wife at the time. Does anyone have access to
early obituaries in Portland? </span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 face=Arial><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>I know this is more than one query,
sorry. I am just very frustrated over this as I really want to know the
truth.</span></font></p>
