<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I have the probate.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Several good genealogist have read it too over the last
dozen years, it give no clues. I will post it when I find it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial> Walter was said to have an entry in the very
first book in Modoc co for water rights, I have never seen a photo of that, but
I know he had land deals and DLC in Oregon and CA. What I can't figure is how
can a person die and just disappear when they have so many legal issues. Must be
a mention some place about that. I found the mention of Julia in an article
someplace about the Grants pass death, until then, I had no clue.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial> We looked for her many years. But with
several names its hard. After Walter Matney, she married Rowe, I was wondering
why?== if she applied for a divorce and after Rowe she went back to using
Matney?</FONT></DIV>
