Nicholas Willard Bos Part 1

1892 -- birth 1897 -- Historical Insight Barnum Brown 1900 -- living Oak Harbor When Nicholas Willard Bos was born on July 8, 1892, in Cowlitz, Washington, his father, John, was 37 and his mother, Willhelmina, was 43. He married Grace M. Westerdyke Bos on August 29, 1917, in Coupeville, Washington. They had three children in 13 years. He died on September 19, 1970, in Mount Vernon, Washington, at the age of 78, and was buried there. -- Ancestry.com Nicholas Willard Bos mini pedigree, Ancestry.com  1892 Birth "Nicholas Willard Bos was born on 8 July 1892 in Cowlitz Washington to Wilhelmina Usi Bos age 43 and John Bos age 37." I am not able to find any birth record for this man.  I have gone through Island County records found on Ancestry and Family Search, but there is no record of his birth.  The sources available to confirm this date for his birth is his death record, the censuses, the draft registration cards for both WWI and WWII, the marriage recor...

John Bos II Part 8, 1920s 12 sept

John Bos II Part 8 1920s John Bos II mini-pedigree from Ancestry.com 1920 age 65  Federal Census John & Wilhelmina Bos 1920 census Oak Harbor, Island County WA In this census, we find John R. Bos and his wife Wilhemina living in Oak Harbour.  He is age 65, she is 71 years old, living with their single son Peter, age 34.  Again, the date of immigration for both is 1882, they are both naturalized in 1900.  The census indicates none of them have any occupation, but that seems hard to believe.  There were many dairy farms in Oak Harbour, I wonder if they considered farming an occupation?

Nicholas Willard Bos Part 4

1930 Census Swantown, Island WA 1933 End of Prohibition          First New Deal 1934 birth daughter Eileen          Bonneville Dam 1938 Broadcast War of the Worlds 1930 age 38 Nicholas and Grace Bos 1930 Census Swantown Road, Swantown, Island County WA The family is circled in red with yellow arrow pointing at Nicholas, starting at line 42.  There is no house number, but the enumerator listed it as Swantown Road.  We'll look at that in a moment.  Notice, right under the arrow (yes, I've hidden it, but you can always view the original), the enumerator put the dividing line for those living on Beach Drive, and those on Swantown Road right after Nicholas Bos.  Now, I think it is a mistake, as there is no way for the head of the family to live on one road, and the rest of the family -- in the same dwelling -- to live on another.  I suspect the entire family lives on Swantown road (although I coul...
