General Notes: Husband -

Nathan was baptized at St. Paul Church, Ringtown, Schuylkill
County, Pa., on 4 Mar 1832.

m. (twice) Susanna and Nettie Abigail Castle 3 July 1871 in Walla Walla, Washington

One marriage took place 3 July 1871

It was just kind of assumed that Nathan was an adventurer. I always wondered why he left all of his family and came to Oregon alone. One of his grandsons referred to him as "a hell-fire preacher on Sundays, and a scallawag the rest of the week."

Nettie died 10 Jan 1886 in Union Co, OR, which is where their children were born. I have not been able to find a cemetery record of where she was buried. Her last child was born 10 sep 1885 and it seems the younger children were farmed out all over. Nathan came on into the Richland-Halfway area, then on to Cambridge, ID, where he died.


Wilma Witte says she was from Rush Creek, Idaho. All census records
indicate she was born in Iowa...perhaps family lived in ID before coming
to Walla Walla area?

Known as Nettie
See 1880 Oregon census; listed as wife of Nathan Blank. Not on the 1900
Oregon census.
