Person:Arden Westfall (1)

From the Westfall Country book. Birth and death dates (and cause) are verbal from Ellen Blanche Thibadeau nee King. From Gram's notes I got the info for Arden's death and burial places. She said that he was 16 when he died in Lumber accident. On her notes she has what I believe to be locations of Arden during his short time on earth taken from cards to his grandmother. 1900 Nepesta Colo. 1902 Okely, ID 1904 Chehalis, WN 1908 Orilla WN 1910 Tenino, (the 1910 US Census proves this) 1911 Kelso, 1913 Holebraak, Ore Feb. 1913 Portland Address: C/O C. T. Co. Scappoose, Ore. From Gram's notes she had 1897 as Arden's birth year and July as the mo. he died. Note his DC listed his death at 1912 so the 1913 dates must have been 1912.

Death date from Ancestry.com-Oregon Death Index-1903-98. Death cert. 2156.

(Medical):His leg was smashed and probably got infected.

   Ora is a farmer-He was born in Missouri, his dad West Virginia. This may be an error since his father is living with him and he listed his birth place as Missouri.
   Bessie and Archie Newby's dad was born in England.
   Where are Alice (19) and William Newby?

   They are living at 140 Sussex Street.
   I find it interesing that only Agnes and Jerold seem to have a father born in Missouri. Ora should have been the father of Arden, Gladys, Agnes & Gerald. Archie was a Newby and his father WAS born in England.
