I have a similar question...Our Abner Nooner from Independence Co.,
Arkansas left and went to Yakima County, Washington, about the same time
period. Buena is right in that same area, it looks like on the map. I
couldn't find Edmonton listed under Washington on the map. Where is it?
Abner showed up on the 1900 Census. He and his wife had had a baby who
died, and was buried there. I have some selected cemetery records I copied.
They were in the Niles School District. His first wife, Mary Green had
died, I believe in Ark. and he left his married girls, bringing his sons,
Preston who was on his census record, and possibly one more.
If you get any answers, please let me know also,..ok?
