Searching Bureau of Land Management files I have found the original Homestead Certificate for Albert Staeheli No. 9138 dated October 22, 1908. It was "Lots three and four and the east half of the southwest quarter of Section thirty-one in Township thirty-four north of Range thirty-nine east of the Willamette Meridian, Washington, containing one hundred sixty-two and seventy-two-hundredths acres".
Checking a USGS topographic map I have located the property northwest of Addy in the Marble Valley north of Swiss Valley at the base of Dunn Mountain. It is accessable from the Swiss Valley Road and a dirt road runs through the property. It can be seen clearly on Google Earth. I will copy the files and maps to the website for documentation.
I was able to order a death certificate for Albert Staeheli and will include it on the website. I am working on information about Albert Junior who is believed to have died in Sedro Woolley.
