Annie Clothilda (Mossman) & William Redmond

Aimee Clothilda (Mossman) & William J. Redmond
 
Aimee was born in the Territory of Washington on the 10th of September 1874 and was the daughter of Isaac and Nellie (Jackson). In 1895, she married William James Redmond who appears to be the son of John and Ellen Redmond of Canada.

The family of John and Ellen Redmond were listed in the 1880 census living in Portland, Oregon, both listed their parents as having been born in Ireland. William is listed as age twelve, born in Canada as were his parents and siblings: John, Wallupia, Francis and Daniel. The younger siblings: Charles, Russa (possibly Jerusha), and Etta were all born in Oregon.

Although Aimee is not listed with her husband on the 1900 census and has yet to be located, William was residing in Portland, Oregon in the same household at his partner and Aimee's brother-in-law, Charles Hill. In 1910 William and Aimee were residing in Oak Point, Cowlitz Co., Washington where he was employed with the Oak Point Piling & Lumber Co.* and as indicated on the census was that company's secretary. In 1920 the Redmonds are living in "Skookumchuck," Lewis Co., Washington, William listed as a 51 year-old lumberman and had in fact been the second manager of the Hill company sawmill. William died in Centralia, Washington on 14 Jul 1949, and his widow Aimee on 20 Nov 1951 (both cremated).

A search into records indicates Centralia was founded in 1875 by a former Missouri slave named George Washington. Originally called Centerville, the name was changed to avoid confusion with another town called Centerville, and the new name became Centralia. The first post office here had the name Skookumchuck.

* Rich Detering (who has researched and kindly contributed info for both Redmond & Hill) speculates that at the time William J. Redmond was secretary of the Oak Point Piling & Lumber Co., that Captain Hill was its president).

Note: Photo Contributed by Barbara Troen, 2nd Great Granddaughter of Isaac V. Mossman & Martha Nellie (Jackson); Also, family notes indicate her name was Annie, however, several other sources (including her obituary & golden anniversary newsclipping) give Mrs. Redmond's first name as Aimee.
