Cool thanks for the info.I was just looking at the 1920 Census and 1930 census.It looks like the family moved to Hoquiam where John W. Gorst worked as a timekeeper for the logging camp and was actually listed twice (one at home and one in the camp)It appears that in 1930 that they had split and he found himself a younger wife. Kathryn and Marion were living in Bremerton at the time.
I will put the information into my house folder.It's been awhile since I've looked at my folder, and I can't quite figure out how he relates to the founders of the town of Gorst or the aviation expert who founded Gorst Field.As I recall he's related to them somehow.
Do you per chance have the exact death date?Actually I might be able to find something in Special Collects at UW.
