Recent query to CGGS - Can you help?

Recently we had a query from a family from Puget Sound area on a ancestor who resided in the Klickitat area in the late 1800's. Maybe you can help. Here is her email to us.



From Janice Connell and Karen Pinnick of Whidbey Island, Washington State

I am helping my friend Karen, who grew up in the Clark County, Skamania and
Klickitat Counties area, to research her father's line.  I found that her 2nd
great grandfather, William Henry Adams  was there in the 1885 Klickitat County
census record but he is not recorded in the 1887 census that we can find.  We
have not been able to find out where he died and was buried.  He was born 1815
in New Jersey; his wife was Elizabeth Vansant who died 1904 in Sacramento, CA. 
His son, John Leroy Adams is Karen's direct ancestor who married Emmer Angeline
Powers in 1885 Klickitat.
