W. B. McKittrick, Prominent Arcatan, Dies Suddenly Of Heart Attack This A. M.

William B. McKittrick, a prominent figure in the sports picture of Humboldt County for nearly 40 years, died this  morning of a heart attack. He was 64. McKittrick came to Arcata Union High school in 1922 as a coach and teacher of the social sciences and he remained there until his retirement three years ago. During his long years at Arcata High he had coached basketball, football, baseball and track and there are many old-time followers of sports in Humboldt County who will remember McKittrick's athletic ability as well as his success as a coach. He played basketball for the old Arcata Firemen in the twenties and also was a baseball player on several amateur teams of the early days. He is survived by his wife, Myrtle Mason McKittrick, a son, James R., who is a deputy district attorney here, and two sisters, Vivian McKittrick, of Lompoc, Calif., and Mrs. Earl Davenport of Snomomish, Wash. There are also several nieces and nephews. In recent years, McKittrick had been employed on the news staff of The Eureka Newspapers Inc. He had suffered from heart trouble, but his death was unexpected. Born October 27, 1896 at Kimball, South Dakota, McKittrick was graduated from Willamette University at Salem, Ore., and came to Humboldt County in 1922. During World War I he served in the navy and returned to Arcata High following his military service. In 1930, he joined the Army Reserve Officer Corps and in World War II he served in the army, retiring as a lieutenant colonel. McKittrick retired from Arcata High in 1957 and since then had traveled extensively. The former coach was a member of American Legion post No. 274 of Arcata, the Arcata Masonic lodge, the Retired Teachers' Association, San Francisco Press Club and was past president of the Arcata Kiwanis club. McKittrick was known and admired by thousands who came in contact with him while students at Arcata High and then went on to remain fast friends through their adult life. It was recalled that he was an outstanding athlete during his college years at Willamette, where he was one of the all time greats in basketball. Funeral arrangements are pending at Paul's Funeral Chapel in Arcata.

Vivian McKittrick went to be with the Lord on Oct. 8, 2005. Vivian reached the grand age of 100 years. She lived in Hesperia for well over 40 years, and her many friends and her dogs will miss her greatly. Vivian was a teacher and loved to travel, especially to the Far East. She achieved many goals in her life, and she made an impression on everyone she met. She is survived by her great-nephews Robert, William and Jim Davenport and her grand-niece, June Davenport Lovenger. Vivian gave her life to Jesus Christ and had faith in his redemption. Graveside services will be held at 9 a.m. Friday at Victor Valley Memorial Park, 15609 Eleventh Street in Victorville. Kern Hesperia Mortuary is handling arrangements.

Terry Lester a distant relative

Nobody really has any facts about my Great Grandma Mary E. Gest. She married Lewis Gest. Not sure when. She had 3 Children named Sylvia Gest, Lowell Gest, and Alice Gest. She was raised by Alice and Dick Husman in Seiling Oklahoma. My family really wants to know what happened to her. And also where she is buried. Anyone researching the Husman's??? Maybe you can help. I found a stone with Mary E. Colwell Gest on it on findgraves.com but not sure if that is her. Like I said I really need a maiden name. I am not sure if she is related to the Husman's or not. An old Census I found from Seiling Oklahoma says Mary is Alice and Drich's Grand daughter but my family says they are not related just simply stepped in to take care of my grandma when her parents passed. 
Again her name is Mary E. Gest (MARRIED)
Married to Lewis Gest
I am wanting to know where I can find her! Thanks

 Sorry made a mistake on my post. 
Mary & Lewis Gest Children are
Sylvia Gest, Lowell Gest, Alice Gest.

These Children where raised by Alice and Dick Husman in Seiling Oklahoma.

All three children were born in South Dakota.

Mary and Lewis Gest were both born in Iowa (according to a 1930's Seiling Oklahoma Census)

I am looking for Mary Gest's Maiden name.

Alice Ione Gest: Born January 24, 1911, in Unknown; Died September 9, 1999, in Chickasha, Grady Co., OK ( age 88). Married 1934 to Robert Otis Laird: Born June 3, 1905, in Oklahoma; Died October 1981 in Chickasha, Grady Co., OK ( age 67).

Sylvia E. Gest (1914 - 1970) married Albert Campbell (1912 - 1974)

Hi yes Mary would be my great grandma. Sylvia is my father's mother. I would love to have pictures if you could send them to my email. micacampbell@suddenlink.net

I have some other information I have pulled up on some of "our" family if you would like to see any of it. I would really really really love to see pictures. Thank you so much

Also have some questions on how you know she died? Our family thought for the longest that she was murdered but I have done some research on her and have found out that she might of died from the flu along with her husband. Can you tell me any information about this. I would absolutely love to speak with you. You seem to know a lot about my great grandma Mary. Also if you know where she is buried. My dad wants to know before he dies the story behind her.

I have no idea how Mary died, she was only 27 years old when she passed away. Like I said I have her dying 9 Nov 1918 in Lost Nation, Iowa. Can't even find it on the map, her husband Louis was only 36 when he passed away in Grandmound, Iowa. You might check their also for Mary. I'm not very good with computers so maybe my wife or daughter will help me with the pictures. In any event I will get them to you. If you need any further info on Mary's ancestors let me know.

A distant relative Terry

I also have a book that a husman lady gave me right before she died at the age of 100. I would love to share it with you if you need any of it.
