Hello Lester and Researchers, " The Growth of Lake County, Oregon" by Georgie Ellen Boydstun Stephenson makes these mentions about that mill: P.58 says that the" Lake County Examiner newspaper dated May 6, 1920, mentioned Hayden Henderson of the sawmill firm ofAlexander and Henderson of New Pine Creek." P. 68 of the same book has a list of sawmills1900-1924. It includes Henderson and Alexander at New Pine Creek as one of the 1920 sawmills listed I believe that it may be Hayden Henderson who is mentioned on p.23. There is a list of people who came to New Pine Creek in 1869. This person is listed as H.M.Henderson. Sorry that is all that I see about that sawmill or these people in this book There is information about other mills and logging companies, school lists etc. in this book. Unfortunately, I do know that not all of the information is exactly accurate, so one would have to read any of this information with a critical eye. Joyce in CA http://www.geocities.com/jarmscoop
Hi Joyce, Can you publish the list of people who arrived in New Pine Creek in 1869? (See your paragraph #4).

Hello Liz and Researchers, As requested, here is the list of those people who arrived in NPC in 1869. :-) Immediately after the treaty with the Indians had been worked out by General Crook a large number of settlers came to Goose Lake Valley including John O Neil who had been in charge of a pack train at Camp Warner in 1868. When John was released from military duty, he came to Goose Lake Valley and took up a claim near the state line. Others who came in 1869 include: Eli Craven Mason E.P. Bodger A.Z. Hammersly William Hamersley The Hammersleys came from the Willamette Valley with: Joe Robnette T. Reed William Tandy Robert Tandy Milton Brown A.F. Snelling H.M. Henders Three men known only by last name: Spark, Stone, and Bogue Coming in the same party with the Hammersleys were Mr. and Mrs. Matthew G. McCulley. When this party reached Drews Valley, they laid over a few days until Billy Hammersley was born. Preparations had not been made for his arrival at this time, so the ladies of the party made clothes for him out of flour sacks. Alexander Reed and T.B. Reed also came in 1869. Mrs. Horace (Nancy C.) Myrtle was the first white woman to settle in Goose Lake Valley. She had crossed the plains in 1852 with her family and located near Eugene OR. She married Horace Myrtle in 1869 and they moved immediately to Goose Lake Valley. Other 1869 arrivals were: A. Tenbrook Samuel Crane M. Cogswell Alex Cooper Ben Warner Oliver Shaeffer Ira Cogswell Frank Cogswell Alex Contner B.F. Lewis John Clark William Greenman August Miller Only three of the people who came in 1869 settled outside Goose Lake Valley: D.A. Lambert, Michaael McShane, Mr. and Mrs. Matthew McCulley 1869 marks the beginning of NPC. The first business there was a general store owned by Desible, Powley and King. A man named Darling was placed in charge of it. (The locations where these people settled was listed. If you need the information for specific people, let me know and I will send it.)
