Notes from Basic Guide for Genealogy Research in Stevens, Ferry &amp; Pend Oreille Counties by Nancy Wright, Susan DeChant, and Shirley Dodson of NeWGS:

"Stevens County is long and narrow, bisected by the Huckleberry Mountains running north and south through the middle. In the early days, travel was difficult and there were almost no roads. During the winter it was impossible to go very far, so people often did their "marrying" and "burying" in Lincoln County if they lived along the River at the south end of the county. They also went to Spokane County for supplies or to get married.

"If they lived in the north end of the county, they caught the ore train going to the smelter in Trail, British Columbia, got off at Rossland, had time to get married and catch the train on its return trip to the states. All this could be done in time to get home for evening chores.

"The railroad was completed in 1892-93. Lincoln County seat is located in Davenport, WA 99122. The address for the proper office in Rossland is: Vital Record, Court Registry, Box 639, Rossland, B.C. VOG 1YO, phone 604-362-7368."
