| Oct. 28, 1904: Celia B. Droskowski, Dan R. Jones, O. A. Leach (wholesale groceries), Joseph G. Forbes |
I found Joseph G. Forbes, attorney in Wahpeton, Richland Co., North Dakota on the 1900 census. He was born in March 1869 in Canada. He had a wife, Catherine, and a son, Arnold. He was still in Wahpeton on the 1940 census. He died 31 August 1960 and is buried in Fairview Memorial Gardens, Wahpeton, North Dakota.
Also on the 1900 Census for Wahpeton, is found Orrin A. Leach, born April 1867 in Vermont. He was married to Cora Leach and was a wholesale grocer. He died 12 October 1960.
Dan R. Jones was the brother of John R. Jones (in whose attic this photo was found). Their parents were Evan Jones & Harriet Roberts. Dan was born 5 October 1871 in Neenah, Wisconsin and married Ethel Koerner on 7 June 1910 in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. He died 5 September 1937 in Richland Co., North Dakota. I have posted other pictures of Dan.
Dan was an attorney in Wahpeton. I have not discovered his burial place.
Celia B. Droskowski is a bit tougher to track down. So far I have found a lady of that name working as a stenographer in Minneapolis in 1910, but I have not found her in Wahpeton, N.D. yet.
Celia Droskowski gained the gift of bi-location!!! She appears twice in the 1910 census...her mother must have included her at home when she was living in Minneapolis Ward 5, Hennepin, Minnesota. She is described in the Little Falls census as a stenographer in a lawyer's office and in the other as a stenographer in an attormey's office.
ReplyDeleteShe married my great uncle Wilfred McManus who arrived in Canada from Belfast Ireland in 1910. They lived in Langley Prairie, British Columbia where they had a fruit farm. Wilfred died in 1953.I don't have a date of death for Celia. They don't appear to have had any children
