I am trying to find my long lost grandfather, Clifford D. or David C. HERDMAN.

He left Clearfield County, Pennsylvania sometime around the first decade of the
last century, probably with his brothers Frank and Ernest, for the State of
Washington. I think that they settled in Tacoma, but it was Pierce County. He
married my grandmother Hazel LEONARD and they had a child, Julia Mary, born in
1916 in Pierce County. By the 1920 census they had split up, and possibly a
divorce had occurred. We have no record of that though.

He registered for the World War I draft in 1917 at the age of 29, giving his
address as 410 3rd Street, NE, Puyallup, Pierce Co., Washington St. He owned a
cleaners and dyers in Puyallup at that time.

Here is where we have some trouble. It appears that there were two Herdman
families in Clearfield County, and the census data indicate that each family
had a Clifford, around the same age. We have recovered draft cards for both
boys, and the other Clifford was Clifford B.

Could they be cousins, because the data we have do not discriminate between the
two families.

Apparently, the grandfather we have lost was the son of Jesse and Mary C.
HERDMAN. That does track with the naming of the daughter, named Mary for one
mother and Julia for her grandmother on the mother's side. (But to complicate
matters, Julia Mary was also listed as a HERTMAN.)

Any help filling out this picture would be greatly appreciated.

Oh yes, this grandfather was located in the 1960's living in Redlands, CA. But
there are no death notices in California, nor have I been able to locate social
security information. He was probably employed by the Southern Pacific Rail
Road. The census information that we have early on shows that a David was back
in Pennsylvania - but that is all we have to go on.


Regards,
Jim Carroll
