Re: Lounsbury Family from Oregon
I have been doing a bit of research on this line myself lately and here is what I can offer. Frances Bylieu (always known by family as Aunty By) was the daughter of Daniel Charles and Frances Elizabeth Lounsbury (known as Fanny). Her brother Earl Richlieu (my great-grandfather) married twice. His first wife passed while pregnant with their first child, he had been attending medical school. He left school and went to the phillipines as a hospital steward where he served in the Spanish American war. Upon his return he brought back quite a number of vases, brass stands and a pug named Bepo. He was soon after introduced to my Great-grandmother Helen Josephine Bodley who was born and raised in Portland, OR. Earl and Helen had two daughters Ruth and Margorie. My Grandmother Marjorie Jean married Claude S. Palmer and they had one daughter; Nancy Jean who married Wesley Eugene Miller of Winlock, WA, they have two children; Meredith Tracy & Garth Stuart. The other daughter or Earl and Helen was Ruth Helen and she married Jack Allyn Pratt of Portland, they had one daughter Ruth Diane who married Guy Richard Rawls and had one son; Guy Richard.The elder Guy is deceased the younger still living.
Daniel and Fanny as well as Earl are all buried at Riverview Cemetary in SW Portland. Surviving members include Nancy, Meredith, Guy (younger), Garth, Wesley & Ruth Diane.
