LAKE--I recently visited the Social Security Death Index
website in search of my father, Wesley E. LAKE, who I haven't
seen in nearly forty years. He was listed as deceased and his
last known address was given as 85545 Roosevelt, Gila Arizona. I
have sent off a Death Certificate Request to Arizona Vital
Records but have not received anything back yet. I have
also searched the Obituary archives of the Arizona
Republic as well as the Gila County website to no
avail. His D.O.B. was 12/24/1927 and his expiration date
was 1/26/1995. If you could provide me with any information at
all I would be very grateful. Thank you for your help. Sincerely,
Wesley E. Lake, Jr.

NEWBOULD--I am trying to find out any information
anybody out there may have about Jim NEWBOULD. He was born
in a wagon train outside Fayetteville, AR, and ended up later in
life as a miner in Jerome. He took great pride in being
"a miner all his life". He worked for a time at
the "Little Daisy" mine in Jerome. He later left
Jerome and went to Globe where he had his own silver mine claims
in Richmond Basin, in partnership with his brother Joseph.
After Joseph's death, he went into partnership with Joseph's
wife, Fannie. She took care of him the rest of his life. He
died in 1958 and is buried in Globe. He was indeed an interesting
character and I would like to know more about him. If anyone has
any family stories about him, I would be most interested to share
that info. Thanks ! Annie Schaff annies@whidbey.net

MCFADDEN/HUDSON/GORDON/SNODGRASS/JOY/MURNAN--I am looking for
families of MCFADDEN and HUDSON in Gila county. Elsie Lora
MCFADDEN was born in Payson in 1915 to James Henry MCFADDEN and
Mary Ruby Jane HUDSON. I know she went to school in Payson and
believe later on in Globe and/or Miami. By the time ELsie was in
8th grade she had moved with her mother and brothe Theron James
MCFADDEN to Los Angeles.Parents of James were William Dallas
MCFADDEN and Nancy Jane GORDON. Parents of "Ruby" were
Columbus Bradley HUDSON and Laura Indiana SNODGRASS. Parents of
Columbus were Henry Rhchard HUDSON and Huldah Jane JOY. Parents
of Laura were Jerome Bonapart SNODGRASS and Mary MURNAN.
I believe that James and Ruby lived on a ranch outside of Payson
but not sure where. There was supposedly a McFadden Mountain
named after some of the relatives but that name was changed some
years ago I understand. Some of the HUDSON and MCFADDEN families
continued to live in the area for years I understand. Any help
would be great.
