Thank you, did not realize when I started looking for the ancestors (had to,
before I went also) that there would be so much help out there on the
internet. Again, thanks.

I am trying to find my long lost grandfather, Clifford D. or David C.
HERDMAN.
He left Clearfield County, Pennsylvania sometime around the first decade
of the
last century, probably with his brothers Frank and Ernest, for the State
of
Washington. I think that they settled in Tacoma, but it was Pierce
County. He
married my grandmother Hazel LEONARD and they had a child, Julia Mary,
born in
1916 in Pierce County. By the 1920 census they had split up, and possibly
a
divorce had occurred. We have no record of that though.
He registered for the World War I draft in 1917 at the age of 29, giving
his
address as 410 3rd Street, NE, Puyallup, Pierce Co., Washington St. He
owned a
cleaners and dyers in Puyallup at that time.
Here is where we have some trouble. It appears that there were two
Herdman
families in Clearfield County, and the census data indicate that each
family
had a Clifford, around the same age. We have recovered draft cards for
both
boys, and the other Clifford was Clifford B.
Could they be cousins, because the data we have do not discriminate
between the
two families.
Apparently, the grandfather we have lost was the son of Jesse and Mary C.
HERDMAN. That does track with the naming of the daughter, named Mary for
one
mother and Julia for her grandmother on the mother's side. (But to
complicate
matters, Julia Mary was also listed as a HERTMAN.)
Any help filling out this picture would be greatly appreciated.
Oh yes, this grandfather was located in the 1960's living in Redlands, CA.
But
there are no death notices in California, nor have I been able to locate
social
security information. He was probably employed by the Southern Pacific
Rail
Road. The census information that we have early on shows that a David was
back
in Pennsylvania - but that is all we have to go on.
Regards,
Jim Carroll
