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.

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?

John Bos II Part 4, 1880s

John Bos II Part 4,  1880s John Bos II mini-pedigree from Ancestry.com 1880 24 March 1880, age 25 Birth of son Christian His son Christian Johannes Bos was born on 24 March 1880 in Arnhem, Gelderland, Netherlands.  This was his second of eight children born.  He would immigrate with his parents, marry Francine Kaufers or Kamps or Kemps.  He must have moved his family with his parents because he died in Island County Washington in 1946.  He has never fought in any war according to the 1930 census, although there is a WWII draft card with his signature on it (bonus points). Perhaps I am wrong in assuming he met and married Frances in Montana.  Nope, I was wrong.  I found a marriage certificate showing they were married 1905 in King, Washington.  By the 1940 census, he was a gas station attendant at his son Charles' station.
