Family of Edwin A VESEY and Mary DRINKWINE

Edwin A VESEY b. 1843~²⁹⁰⁶ at Michigan²⁹⁰⁶. d. 1904 Mar 9⁵²²⁹ at S H Hospital, Spokane, WA⁵²²⁹. bd. Greenwood Cem., Spokane, WA⁵²²⁹.
Mary DRINKWINE b. 1855 Nov²³⁹² at New York²³⁹². d. 1916 May 4⁵³⁵³ at Spokane, WA⁵³⁵³.

Married²³⁹² 1882~²³⁹². Edwin and Mary Vesey appear as husband and wife in the 1900 census²³⁹² for Spokane, WA. They had been married 18 years.

Edwin appears in some records as "Edward."

At the time of his death, Edwin's residence⁵²²⁹ was 326 S Monroe St, Spokane, WA, and his marital status was "married." The Spokane (WA) Press, Jan 3, 1905 (www.newspapers.com), in an article about lightning strikes in Spokane, reported that "Mrs E A Vesey, at Monroe street and fourth avenue," while standing on the porch, was knocked down and rendered unconscious when lightning struck a tin pan in her hand.

As Edwin's children were born in Montana, it appears that he was living in or near Butte, Montana, in the 1880s. Edwin A Vesey, "of Butte," purchased land⁵³⁵⁹ in section 15 of township 20 from the Northern Pacific railyway about Nov 1875. In 1884, among "overland passenger" arrivals⁵³⁵⁶ in Carlin, CA, is mentioned "Mrs M A Vesey, Butte City, Mont." That is likely Edwin's mother, having visited Edwin.

In 1891, it was reported⁵³⁶¹ that "Eeward" Vesey, "of the Combination gambling house" became the father of twins, a boy and a girl. In 1893, the inquest⁵³⁶² for George Hunter, who had committed suicide at a boarding house, was reported on. Among the witnesses was E A Vesey, "manager of the Combination gambling house," who identified the body and Hunter's handwriting.

In 1898, a court case in the District Court at Missoula, MT, was reported⁵³⁶⁰ as the "case of Vesey vs Drinkwine." Niether the litigants or the subject of the session was mentioned.

An obituary⁵³⁵² for Edwin A Vesey mentions his address as 326 S Monroe, Spokane, WA, and that a wife and two grown children survived him.

In 1900, Mary Vesey was listed²³⁹² as the mother of 4, 3 living. As "Eaward" Vesey was the father of twins, a boy and a girl, born Nov 2, 1891, it is assumed that son Patrick, elsewhere identified as born Nov 2, 1891, in Butte, Montana, was a twin, and a daughter died in infancy.

In 1910, Mary, now widowed, resided with her son Edward, son Paul, and daughter Sadie Flatt.
