Greattrax, Julia (Mrs. John W.) 1809-1892

The submission of this obit/ death notice as listed, is in error – should be Mrs. J. W. Greattrax.

Alton Democrat of Feb 13,1892 J. W. Greattrax. esq.. a pioneer in this county and at one time county treasurer, died week before last at Wala Walla, Oregon. Memorial services will be held at Boyden one week from Sunday, Rev. Clifton officiating. Dr. J. H. Greattrax, of Boyden is a son of the deceased. We hope to be able to publish full particulars relating to the death of Mr. Greattrax next week.

This obit was stated wrong by the editor of the paper and should have been for Mrs. J. W. Greattrax who died Jan 25, 1892 (another error in WA death year record as 1893) Her husband John William Greattrax actually died 12 Aug 1886!

It only makes sense that this death notice should have been for Julia Holley Mrs. John William Greattrax who died the week before last which would have been about Jan 25, 1892, at Walla Walla Washington.

The submitter currently is doing a BIOS on the John William Greattrax 1810-1886 family which can soon be viewed on this page under BIOS.
