Charlotte T. Stanley Alford Hemenway Burch Stinchacum

Of all the research that I've done over the years, Lottie has been one of the most interesting. She was known to be a bit of a character. Rather than list her history, it would suffice to describe her: spitfire, colorful, resourceful and hardworking.

I have researched Lottie since 2000. I am glad to share info about her to anyone who is interested. My collection includes court documents.

Charlotte T. Stanley, called Lottie, was born March 8, 1852 in Iowa, probably in Decatur Co.
where her father's family lived in 1850. She crossed the plains as an infant with parents in 1853,
crossing over the Greenhorn Mts., settling at Yreka. At age of 18 years with family removed to
Pendleton, Umatilla Co., Ore. She married there on Feb. 5, 1870 to Thomas B. Alford who was
born 1837 in Benton Co., Mo. They had several children. They divorced in Klamath County
Ore. and she married again Nov. 26, 1888 at Klamath Falls to Dr. Stacy M. Hemenway, 1836 -
1914, son of Dr. Ansel Asa Hemenway and Abigail Whitmore, settlers in Eugene, Lane Co.,
Ore. Stacy was born at Pleasant, Ind. He served in the civil War as Physician and later with US
Colored Troops as Full Regimental Surgeon. Later, he served as a Physician at Fort Steilacoon
Insane Asylum, Wash. Still later he was with the Army and Indian Physician at Yainix Sub
Agency in Klamath Co., Ore. Stacy and Lottie had children and divorced in 1894. He married
three more times. She married again 1900 in Lakeview, Ore. to Frank Burch. About 1907 she
married again to Henry Edwin Stinchacum and lived in Doris-Picard, Cedarville and thence to
Redding, Shasta Co. Calif. about 1905. Her last husband, a bar tender and a sawmill worker,
died June 15, 1913 at Redding. Lottie died at Redding June 1, 1935 and is buried in Redding
Cemetery close to her daughter, Anna. Lottie was employed earlier at the Temple Hotel as
laundress
