Some CHUBB mysteries solved

When I received the large envelope from my cousin, Tess, yesterday my fingers itched to open it and find out what was inside. Hey! A wealth of information and copies of the pages from the Chubb Family Bible lay inside along with family history pedigree sheets. And three mysteries were solved!

1 ~ Clara Myrtle Chubb Young had a child named Juanita that I could not 'find' after they moved from Minnesota and moved to Oregon in the early 1900s. Mystery solved: Alta Juanita died when she was 9 years old in Portland, Oregon. Though, we do not know the cause of death and I was saddened to read of it since it mimicked history for me and my own child's age at her death, i was glad to have the answer.

2 ~ One mystery generated another. In documents and census information I have found, Clara and Robert Young's first son was named Robert L. Young, presumably after his father. In the Chubb Family Bible, he is listed as Roscoe Lyle Young, same birthdate as Robert L. ????

3 ~ Hannah Amy Griggs was the mother of Clara Myrtle Chubb and wife of James Dillon Chubb. The marriage date (April 7, 1868) and place (Des Moines, Minnesota) was listed in the bible as well as the date she died giving birth to a baby girl, stillborn - January 11, 1878.

Of course, with all this great information compiled by another cousin (Nancy), more questions emerge... There's another child born to Clara Myrtle Chubb Young and her husband, Robert L. in Portland, Oregon named Violet, born about December 1909. The elusive Clara Myrtle has left so many stepping stones but we are all still slipping as we jump forward and fall backward just a bit with each new answer!

The pictures we now have of the Chubb cemetery inhabitants are overwhelming ....but now Tess and i wonder who G.A.R. could be? More research...so we can get more answers... We just hope the questions lighten up! :)
