from a FAG member:
Son of Stanley Hemenway∼John was the son of Dr Stacy Hemenway and Margaret McWade Hemenway. He was born in Illinois and moved out west with his parents to Washington and Oregon.
Excerpt regarding John from "Hard Lessons in America" by Cary C. Collins:
"About 1876, when the Northern Pacific Railway built its branch up to Puyallup town near a village known as New Tacoma, Dr. Stacy Hemenway was appointed physician for the Indians. He lived in the new berg and we seldom saw him. His son, a bright boy about 16 years old, volunteered to teach school. The schoolwork forged ahead and all were happy. School was again suspended when our new teacher had to go to school elsewhere."
John married Mary E. Pope on December 4, 1890 in Spokane, Washington. 1901 finds them living in H, Yale & Cariboo, British Columbia, Canada. His wife, Mary, died in 1908.
1920 census shows John, age 57, living as a boarder in Seattle, Washington. He was working as a cashier at a bank. He is listed as being a widow.
He married Julia Sasnett Doener on June 12, 1920. He was working at a bank and they were living at 104 Garfield St in Seattle. Sadly, he died on May 23, 1921.
It seems that Julia either called him Frank or they weren't married long enough for her to recall his middle name. Julia was the informant on his death certificate. She gave his middle name as Frank and his father's name as Stanley. I've gone over this extensively to be certain. I spoke to the cemetery office and they have a note that John Frank Hemenway was also known as John Francis Hemenway. Julia being twice widowed, did not marry again
John's stepmother, Angeline Oliver Hemenway, only had knowledge of John. She was not aware of Dr Hemenway's other two sons by Lottie.
