GURENSEY
               Query:   Researching The GUERNSEY family.  Sylvester GUERNSEY ( died Coos County
                Jan. 23, 1934 ) and Mary Helen GUERNSEY ( died Coos County April 09, 1922 ).  Mary's
                maiden name was LAMPMAN.  Sylvester and Helen had three daughters, Adda, Zoe and
                Helen Mary. Helen was born 12-23-1891 in Boulder County, Colorado. Helen married Frank
                SIDDENS and died 3/24/1983 in Grand Junction, Colorado.  Both Adda and Zoe are believed
                to be older than Helen, although not proven.
                Trying to locate further info on Sylvester and Mary. Especially any Obits that might indicate
                the married names of Zoe and Adda, their location and names of any other family..  Any
                assistance along this line would be greatly appreciated.

ROBERTS/STEWART
                Query:  Seeking any information regarding aan Amelia Roberts who married Rufus Stewart
                in Templeton around 1890 . She died in childbirth and the child is buried with her...said to
                have been one of the first buried in Templeton, Cemetery...they had one daighter who lived:
                Minnie Viola Stewart who was born December 07, 1892...so the death of Amelia was after
                1893 but before 1900. It is possible that Amelia's parents were:  Benjamin Roberts and Mary
                Ann (Thomas) Roberts. Brothers and sisters may have been:  Iscah Roberts b. Dec 1866;
                David Roberts b. May 1871; Emma Roberts b. Mar 1873; Elizabeth Ann b Feb 1875; Jame
                Stubley Roberts b. Jan 1877; Edith Robert b. Apr 1822; George Roberts b.Aug 1884;
                Abraham Roberts b. Sept 1886; Allen Thomas Roberts b. Sept 1889, and Joseph Milton
                Roberts b. Feb 1891.   It is also said that Rufus Stewart owned one of the first bicycle shops
                in Coos Bay..any information appreciated...
                I would love anyone researching the ROBERTS or Rufus STEWART to contact me at:
                snokes@tscnet.com.
                Can anyone help me with this?
                Thank you in advance,
                Susan
