I just returned from a vacation through the central part of Wash. up to
B.C. Did a lot of researching on the way. I have a few little questions
that maybe someone can answer.

One of my ancestors, William T. Davis, crossed the country in a covered
wagon around 1880, then sometime after his wife died in 1918, he went to
Edmonton. I've also found another relative, unrelated to the Davis
family, that went to Edmonton about this time too. Why? What was going
on in Edmonton in the 1920s? Does anyone else have family members from
the Grant county area that moved to Edmonton then?

Is anyone researching the Collins family? My Mabel was living as Mrs.
Mabel Collins in Edmonton in 1933.

Can anyone tell me a little about Buena, Washington? What was it like
in the 1920s? Boy, is that a tough word to pronounce! I've practiced
and practiced and can finally say, "Bew--Anna"! An obituary I found
states that the person was living in his cabin at a tourist park in
Buena. This was in 1939.

Also, where would someone living in Buena be buried in 1933?

That's all for now. Thanks to anyone who can help out.
