    3. Hello Dolores and Researchers, These are the Young family which I find in this book: Calvin Young- p. 121 In 1929, the Valley Falls School board voted to close that school and bus the children to Lakeview. The Valley Falls district sent its first school bus into lkeview with about 20 children. Ralph Loveless was the first driver nd he continued driving for 13 years. During this time, the school population had increased and a larger bus was needed. Calvin Young, who began riding the bus at age 11 years succeeded Mr. Loveless as driver in 1942. (There are other names mentioned as bus drivers, but I will keep to the subject of this report as much as possible.) Cal Young p. 142, He is mentioned as one of the Twenty three men who assembled to discuss the diminishing herds of antelope nd to plan a means of protection for them. The first meeting of the Order of Antelope was June 1932. Ethel Young p. 129 She is mentioned as a source for the information which stated that the water supply for the Valley Falls School was inadequate. There was a dug surface well that was so often filled with sand, that the children brought water from home or carried it from Crooked Creek. James Young p. 53 In 1888, a school was maintined at the Russell mill, where Andrew Fisher, father of the late Fred Fisher of Lakeview was the teacher in 1888 and again during the hard winter of 1880-90. There were about 20 pupils at this school, made up mostly by the children of John Mulkey, James Young and Andrew Fisher. (Russell Mill was also known as Cottonwood Mill.) James Young p. 61, In 1923 there were six mills operating in the Lakeview area: Bagley Brothers, with a daily capacity of 10,000 ft.; Hartig Mill at Camas Prairie, 10,000 feet; George Lynch, 15,000 ft. James Young, 10,000 ft. Herman Myers, 10,000 ft.and Underwood Lumber Co., 20,000 ft. I will continue part 2 of this report in another message. Hope this is of some help. Joyce in CA
