LAKE--I recently visited the Social Security Death Index
website in search of my father, Wesley E. LAKE, who I haven't
seen in nearly forty years. He was listed as deceased and his
last known address was given as 85545 Roosevelt, Gila Arizona. I
have sent off a Death Certificate Request to Arizona Vital
Records but have not received anything back yet. I have
also searched the Obituary archives of the Arizona
Republic as well as the Gila County website to no
avail. His D.O.B. was 12/24/1927 and his expiration date
was 1/26/1995. If you could provide me with any information at
all I would be very grateful. Thank you for your help. Sincerely,
Wesley E. Lake, Jr.

NEWBOULD--I am trying to find out any information
anybody out there may have about Jim NEWBOULD. He was born
in a wagon train outside Fayetteville, AR, and ended up later in
life as a miner in Jerome. He took great pride in being
"a miner all his life". He worked for a time at
the "Little Daisy" mine in Jerome. He later left
Jerome and went to Globe where he had his own silver mine claims
in Richmond Basin, in partnership with his brother Joseph.
After Joseph's death, he went into partnership with Joseph's
wife, Fannie. She took care of him the rest of his life. He
died in 1958 and is buried in Globe. He was indeed an interesting
character and I would like to know more about him. If anyone has
any family stories about him, I would be most interested to share
that info. Thanks ! Annie Schaff annies@whidbey.net

families of MCFADDEN and HUDSON in Gila county. Elsie Lora
MCFADDEN was born in Payson in 1915 to James Henry MCFADDEN and

UPDATE:
I have located his name on a 1920 census for Globe, AZ.. It states that he
immigrated to the US in 1890 (which would make him about 7 years old) from
Germany. His parents are from Germany and speak German. The census further
states that he was naturalized in 1919 (in Globe??) and that he was a roomer
living on 359 Broad Street, Globe. The house was that of an Arthur M. Kenyon .
He may have worked for a company called Consolidated Stage Company, driving and
operating a car between Globe and Miami, Florida. Possibly owned real estate in
Miami, Florida. Any help is appreciated. I would also like to know if you know
of any researchers who research genealogy? I have looked at the National

HOWE--We have been making inquiries at the AZ State Archives and the
Genealogical Society with no luck. We would appreciate any help, advice, tips to
sources, etc. for the following search:
ALBION HOWE, MY MISSING GREAT-GRANDFATHER
Born circa 1859 in Massachusetts or New Hampshire...Died some time after 1907, probably in ARIZONA...Married to Emma Jane (Knight) Howe, also born back east. They had five children. Lived in Superior, Wisconsin from at least 1891 but probably longer (1891 was the first year Superior had a city directory).
Albion was active in the politics of Superior: he was an alderman, president of the city council, and was appointed Acting Mayor in 1895-96 when the presiding mayor was impeached for taking graft from the saloons. Albion seemed to be considered a highly moral sort of man. Albion remained in Superior, working in the MINING INDUSTRY as well as politics (we see his occupation listed as "miner" only once; the rest of the time he is superintendent of various elevators down near the Lake Superior docks. We are not sure if it was the iron or coal mining industry.)
We last see him listed in the Superior directory in 1906. In 1907 and 1908 we see Emma Jane at the same address with some of her (now grown) children. In the 1909 directory she lists herself as "widow, Albion". She may have been lying to save face. We found no probate records in Superior, so that's my hunch. Family rumor has it that he left his family in Superior and "ran off with the town prostitute," but that may also be an exaggeration of Emma Jane's. She was a staunch and very active churchwoman, and another rumor has it that it's one of the reasons Albion left.
My grandfather John (Albion's son) graduated high school in Superior in 1906 or 1907, and began working almost immediately for a coal mining company in the area. My father remembers my grandfather telling him that Albion wrote a letter to the family requesting that John visit him in ARIZONA. This likely happened in 1907, 08 or 09, but may have been later. We do not know. It would not have happened after John was married in 1912. The visit did take place, but my father does not remember what city or county John said he visited.
We have no other knowledge of what happened to Albion either during or after his son's visit. We don't know if he was living alone or with someone. We don't know what his occupation was in Arizona, though something connected with mining is likely. We don't know when or where he died, or where he is buried.

WATKINS--I am searching for information on the WATKINS family of Gila Co.
William Watkins lived in the Tonto Basin area between 1880 and 1890. I believe
his sons stayed in the area after his death. I have been told that one or more
of them served as Postmaster for the city of Globe or Payson. The sons names
were James Buchanan WATKINS, David Franklin WATKINS, William Douglas WATKINS,
John Abraham WATKINS, Marion Alexander WATKINS, and Ezra Monroe WATKINS. I would
like to know more about their lives and where they are buried. If there is
anyone out there with any knowledge of this family please contact me. I will be
happy to share the information I have with you. Also if anyone knows of a museum
in either Globe or Payson would you please let me know the name and address of
it because I have been told that there is information about this family there.
Diane
SANCHEZ--I am looking for information about my great grandmother. Her
married name was Ursula Ramos and can be found as "Madrecits Ursula Ramos de
Sanchez (1892-1971) in the listing". After looking further into the "S" listing
for both Salas ( what we are told her maiden name was) as well as de Sanchez and
Sanchez (that is shown from the Ramos posting) we are unable to find her or
relatives at all. Any assistance would be appreciated. Also, we are looking to
discover if it is possible to research members from Mexico, born, buried,
married adn the like. Any assistance is appreciated. Thank you, Diane.
Michael Mabile
MABILE/GORE--I am looking for any information I can find about my
great-grandmother, Kate MABILE, or any of her descendants who may have lived in
Gila County. Kate is listed in the 1920 census as living on Orphan Street in the
town of Miami. Listed with her are her youngest son, Cornelius MABILE (who was
also known as Neal), her youngest daughter, Annie MABILE, and a grandson, Daniel
GORE. Daniel was the son of Kate's daughter Bessie MABILE and Bessie's husband
Guy GORE. Cornelius is shown in the census listing as being a soldier in the
U.S. Army. Four apparently unrelated roomers also lived in Kate's home in Miami.
I do not know what happened to the MABILE and GORE families after 1920. Family history suggests that the GORES continued to live in the Arizona/New Mexico area, but that Kate may have moved to California. Any information about these people or any suggestions about further research would be greatly appreciated.

SIXBY RANCH, GARRETT RANCH AND FAMILY OF SIXBY, SIGSBY, SIGSBEE
Seek info regarding Garrett Ranch, also possibly known as Sixby Ranch, and
descendants of Charles, Garrett, or Everett (Evert) Sixby, Sigsby, Sigsbee or
any info regarding family or their ranch. Charles W. Sigsby was killed by
Indians in an attack at the Sigsby (Sixby) Ranch in an area called Pleasant
Valley on July 12, 1882, according to a newspaper account. With him was a Robert
Sigsby, and in the article there is no mention of a relationship to Charles.
Also a man named Houdon (no first name), who died with Charles. It is unclear if
Robert survived his wounds. There was a Garrett O. Sigsby living on the ranch,
who was injured, but not killed. In 1887 he was trying to rebuild the ranch. The
family's original name was spelled Sixby in Canada, may have been spelled Sigsby
in the states until around 1900, when members of the families changed it to
Sigsbee. Canadian ancestor (Gerrit/Garrett) was originally from New York
(1700s). Also seek info re an Everett F. Sigsbee died Sep 29, 1946 at Tucson,
Arizona at age 39. It is unknown if he is a descendant of this family. The 1900
Soundex for AZ shows Garret O. Sixby, born Oct 1834, age 65, living as a boarder
in the household of a Robert H. Samuel in Gila Co. Please email me with any
information. Cheryl Sigsbee sigsbee1@yahoo.com

MITCHELL--Araujo, Marlene I am a 41 year old woman looking for a father that
I have never known. His name is Jackie Dale MITCHELL, he was married to my
mother, Sandra H. Palmer. I think they were married in 1954. I was born, Juanita
Marlene Mitchell on April 14, 1958 in Globe, Arizona. They were divorced shortly
after I was born. I don't know much about him except these few things. Jackie
Mitchell was in the military when he was married to my mother,his mother is
deacesed, he has or had a brother living in Globe, he is tall with brown hair
and brown eyes.I wa told that my father was part Indian and that I looked just
like him. I was also told that my father was married and had a few children, but
I'm not sure about this. So much time has slipped away that if there is any
chance that I might find him before either of us gets any older, would be more
than I could ever hope for. If anyone knows anything, Please e-mail me at
MarlenefromCO@webtv.net Would appreciate any response.

Russ
JAYCOX--I am currently researching HENRY H. JAYCOX who was born
10/26/1835 ( father David Jaycox, mother Minerva Ann Foote) in Rushville, NY. At
age 10 his family moved to Waukesha, Wisconsin. He
married Catherine Bovee and they had, from what I know so far, two sons
Lafayette (b. 9/1858 d.1/1859) and Henry Lafayette (b. 5/13/1861 d.
3/16/1947). He may have divorced and remarried (Martha Halley).
Henry was a scout and guide for a pack train to the Pima indians and led 23 men.
In Coconino Nat'l Forest a mountain and small pond (tank) are named for him.
I have 2 death dates, one is 1884 the other is 1/1901. The 1901 date list
his burial as ",Gila Co, behind Stewart Dam, Under Saguaro Lake." Saguaro
Lake is in Maricopa Co so this is a little confusing. Another account has
him buried in Globe. I have posted this query with the Coconino and
Yavapai sections as well.
If anyone has additional information or corrections to the above PLEASE
email me. Thank you very much!
