LaGrange family stone






















The burial place is in lawn 13 at Greenwood Terrace Cemetery 211 N Government Way, Spokane, Washington.
To find the gravesite, follow the road to the second level. On the right side of the road, one can look down onto a gazebo. Just past there, on the left side of the road is the head stone.

LaGrange
Charles W 1845-1931
Carrie O his wife 1845-1918
Fred C 1876-1915
Dorthea 1878-1910
George E 1880-1889
Oscar W 1882-193_ (there is no final digit given on the stone.)
At this posting, 12 May 2009, the office could find no record of Oscar being buried at the cemetery. I contacted Cypress Hill Memorial Park in Everett, knowing that Oscar and his wife, Anna, had lived in that city and there is an Oscar W. LaGrange buried there. However, I am informed that this Oscar's wife's name is "Cora" He was born August 3, 1883 and died June 5, 1957. The husband of Anna Rhode, with whom I am interested, listed on his draft registration a birthdate of 3 Aug 1882. During the 1920 US census taken in Everett, WA, a widowed "Chas W", born about 1846 in England was living with his son and daughter-in-law, Oscar and Anna.
Up-date: I have been informed that Oscar was married twice. His second wife was Cora, so this is the right one.
Fred has a second stone. On it, the birth and death dates are given: Jan 9, 1876 - Aug 2, 1915. Also an inscription,
"May his soul rest in peace again"
