Death Claims Pete Dumas
(Margaret Taschereau wrote this note to The Star in 1983. She dated it 22 December. It appeared in the letters to the editor.)
I think you should have some sort of obituary for Balis (Pete) Dumas. A lot of folks in grand Coulee should know.
He was born August 29, 1907. The Eagles might be able to give you more information.
He died at the Old Soldiers' Washington Soldiers Home, Box 500, Orting, WA 98360.
Except for a time in Arizona he lived around close to the Dam. Uncle Charlie and Aunt Bessie ran Granddad Seaton's ferry for several years.
His sister Rhea Coleman, 16819 - 278th Place S.E., Kent, WA and a nephew Wayne Ogle survive him.
I don't know much of his war service.
Some of the Rinkers might give you more.
Rhea is not at all well and losing her husband and brother hasn't helped in one year.
