Surname: MCCLURE HOAG
Submitter: Dennis Roll
Date: 16 June 2004
Seeking any information about a Richard McCLURE and his wife Avis (Hoag) McCLURE. He owned land three miles west of Hunter on SE20-Tp143N-Rg52-05 from 1882 until sometime before 1889. Bureau of Land Management records show he obtained a patent on the property (160 acres) on May 30, 1882. He was born in PA, but lived in IL before coming to ND. According to the "History of Dodge County, MN" 1884 biography for Mrs. Arvilla Hoag, daughter Avis A. (Now the wife of Richard McClure) resides at Hunter, Dakota. This book is a new reprint of the Dodge County portion of "History of Winona, Dodge and Olmsted Counties" available from the Dodge County Historical Society. Richard and Avis moved to WA State abt 1889. They had a farm near Sumas,WA and are buried in the Sumas cemetery there. Richard, died 1924, was my great uncle. Any help appreciated.
Surname: TAYLOR FITZSIMMONS
Submitter:: Tom Fitzsimmons
Date: 9 June 2004
One of my Father's aunts, Melda (short for Anna Imelda) FITZSIMMONS, was married to a man named Joseph Nelson TAYLOR. I have a transcription of Joseph's obituary which says he moved from Iowa to "Castletown, N.D." in 1880 where he was in charge of a grain elevator for 4 years.
I think "Castletown" is probably Casselton. Joseph's brother and their father were both associated with grain elevators in Iowa, working for the Way, Johnson, and Lee Company and for Gilchrist & Company. Therefore, I am guessing that Joseph Taylor may have been employed by one of those grain companies in Casselton during the time range 1880 to 1884.
Further information I have says that Melda died in Fargo, North Dakota October 8, 1906, and is buried in Holy Cross Cemetery (old St. Mary's Cemetery). She left Joseph and their three young sons, Harold, Basil and Howard. Howard was born in North Dakota in 1904, but the North Dakota Health Department has no record of his birth (or of Melda's death).
I am hoping to learn if the elevator companies mentioned operated in Casselton in the 1880s, and whether there is any surviving trace of Joseph and Melda Taylor in records available to readers of this board.
