He graduated from U. of Washington as a ceramic engineer. He fired kilns and replaced the glaze maker who got mad about something and quit taking his formulas with him. I have my grandfather's glaze book which contains a list of formulas he developed and the buildings they were used on. I also have several detailed photos of a few of the unfired statues that now adorn the Suzzallo Library. I would like to donate these items to an institution that may find interest and value in them. If you are interested please let me know. Regards, Chris Hi,

I am a descendant of Carrie and Abe Wurzburg. I think I can identify some of the unknown people in the pictures of Marcus. I also have others that could be added to the archive. In addition to photos, I have some very old moving picture films of Marcus that have been transferred to CD. If you contact me at my email address, I could send you my phone number and we could talk a little about the project and what I might be able to do to help. (Selma Peterson, the post mistress in Marcus, was a longtime family friend of my grandparents. I remember her well. She was a very dear person). First, thank you for doing what you are doing.

Extracting the names out was challenging and we appreciate any corrections. The cropping at the bottom of the image is to eliminate any medical terms per instructions from the county prosecuting attorney's office. In this case, it only says that it is a normal birth. There is no further information. Sue Melody,

I think you have misread the document--I believe through US Census, Ancestry.com etc that the names are Oscar (father and son) and not Cesear The picture of the document cuts off with the fathers occupation. Could you please tell me what is missing? It might be important. Thank you for any help I am lost in this site and can not find an area to ask a question:

Having spent my teenage years at the site where my family lived as my father is currently owner the surrounding property, and being a avid Western history reader, I am curious about the background to this story. Any more info or sources for this? I was stunned by the line above “Earp…was later a part owner of the Sierra Zinc Mine near Deep Lake”.

The holidays plus the fact that out of the 296 comments on this site, 294 were spam held up response. Nevertheless it would be great to have your help. So this is the same guy whose assassination triggered WWI. Corbin's railway had only been in operation 4 years. He must have been on one of only a few steamers that took that route, especially after the trains were running. I would love to follow up on this. Probably after Christmas is better.
