This is a real long shot, but is all I have left to find any information on
my father Joe B. Chandler b. 1899 in Spokane, WA.
Joe said he left school in the third grade at the age of eight, (approx.
1908). I have no idea which school he attended, but presume it was one of those
shown below in Spokane.
If the eighth grade exams were a graduation, Joe may have mistaken the eight
grade for the third.
In any case I need help from anyone who is knowledgeable on how to go about
finding a school census that might show Joe B. Chandler between 1905-1910.
I am really hoping for his living location and parents names.
I live in Southern California, so do not have the free access to records as
noted;
There is no charge to place a research request with the Archives.
Additionally, there is no charge for simple retrieval of documents. If a particular
request appears to warrant research fees, Archives staff will notify the researcher
before proceeding. There is no fee for individuals to conduct research in
person at the archives.
The Spokane County folder contains several reference materials. All district
#81 records are currently kept by district #81. Please contact them at:
