Thanks for the reminder, John.

My one and only Cowlitz Co. surname belongs to Timothy Fletcher Hersey, who
was well known in KS as the founder of Abiline, a cattleman, trail builder,
Indian scout, and from what I've heard, quite a character. He died in
Castle Rock in the early 1900's (about 1905, I think). Tried a couple of
years ago to find his grave but no luck. His wife was Eliza Rachel Johnson,
my 3 gg grandfather's youngest sister. I would like to know where he is
buried, if a record exists for that, and also to try to pinpoint when he
arrived in Cowlitz Co.
