Corson, MD Hospital: Unavailable Source Of Record: Birth Return Certificate No.: 6607 1) The initial document is a "Birth Return" (No.6607) that shows a legitimate child named "FRIEND" was born on August 23, 1899 in Issaquah, County of King. It was signed and dated by the doctor on 8-28-1899 and filed by the county on 10-5-1899. 2) On 10-29-1942 a Certificate of Birth was signed by Dr. Corson that shows Wilbert Coster FRIEND as the child's name. It shows the Charles Wm FRIEND as a mine foreman in the coal industry and residing in Issaquah, WA. Augusta SWANSON FRIEND is shown as a housewife. Charles' birthplace is incorrectly shown as Bristolie England. Augusta's birthplace is incorrectly shown as Sweden (Humlarp). The doctor indicates that the information is provided based on his records. There is no evidence that this form was recorded by the county. 3) On March 10, 1964, an Affidavit for Correction of Birth Record (No.673) was filed with King County. Augusta certified that she was the natural mother of Wilbert Coster FRIEND, born in the city of Issaquah on the 23rd day of August 1899. It appears that the purpose of this affidavit is to correct the original Birth Return (1899) that listed only "FRIEND" as the name of the child.
