445. Winthrop Wesley Rathburn was born on 29 Apr 1874 in Cleveland, Ohio and died on 13 Feb 1949 in Los Angeles, California aged 74.

General Notes:
WW Rathburn was ordered to pay £15.00 a month for support of Wesley. Evidently he did not pay. The court found that for a long time prior to Feb. 1, 1906 Mina had sole support and custody of Wesley. I wonder if he ever really knew the impact his desertion had on his son. He died of coronary sclerosis. I called it "hard heart."

I can tell from pictures my dad had saved in a very special pocket in his memory book, that he did have some contact with Winthrop's brother(s) in Nebraska in the early 1920's. There are pictures of when he went to visit them.

Winthrop was married four times. His daughter is from his third marriage. She is half sister to my Father. I noticed he married the Conaly woman the same day his wife died. The child was born seven months later. Here we go again. I was actually only a couple of years older than his daughter. My sister Loujen was the same age.

I remember that I was in Los Angeles living (age 12) with Billie Gardner's mother (she was a friend of my mothers). I was there to finish my orthodontia. It was during WWII. Billie's mom suggested that I write to my Grandfather. I did. I told him I was alone and that is was my idea to write and that I would like to meet him. He wrote back some three weeks later stating that he did not want to meet me because my grandmother and my father had hurt him too deeply. I accepted that and never attempted to contact him again. He died about four years later. I remember his handwriting as being very distinctive, old fashioned, and his signature as W. W. Rathburn. The letter was lost.

On March 16, 2004 I received a copy of my grandmother's divorce papers. It had the same old fashioned, slightly artistic signature. I do wish I could find out what caused him to be such a man. Evidently he refused to support Mina even while they were married. There may be some relatives in and around Boulder, Colorado.

Winthrop's birthday is listed in California death records as April 28,1874.
