I belong to Oregon Genealogical Society [OGS] in Eugene, OR and am the 1st VP. One of my jobs is the scheduling of classes that we hold each year. These classes are about 2 hours at a cost of $5.00 each. All of the instructors donate their time and we have had a great response in past years. Class run from September to either April or May of the following year. This year I am looking for someone who does Native American Research and would be willing to donate 2 to 4 hours for a class or 2 on how to go about doing Native American Research, where to look and what kind of questions to ask. Stuff like that. As I seem not to have any Native Americans in my genealogy [yet] I have never done any research along this line. So I don't feel qualified to teach this class. If you can help me or know someone who can, please email me at: _laubrey1@aol.com_ (mailto:laubrey1@aol.com) Thank you Linda Aubrey

SURPRISE VALLEY RECORD, CEDARVILLE, MODOC COUNTY, CAL THURSDAY, MAY 7, 1936 Reports come from San Francisco are to the effect that Mr. George S. Miller’s condition is critical and no hopes are given for his recovery. Mrs. Bessie Benner underwent a minor operation at the General Hospital today, when Dr. Kennedy removed a small tumor from her shoulder. HONORING OUR MOTHERS By D. B. McGue Once upon a time a certain mother was the life of a Sunday School in a little town in Virginia. The superintendent, after her death, that it would be fitting to hold a memorial service in the church in honor of this loyal mother. He wrote to his daughter, Miss Anna Jarvis, at Philadelphia, asking her to arrange such a service. While doing this work, there was born in her mind the idea of originating an annual service honoring motherhood. This first service was held in 1908. Six years later, the second Sunday in May was set apart officially as Mother’s Day by act of Congress and proclamation of the United States. And now this day is observed in almost every community of the Nation. The meaning of Mother’s Day is not that mothers are perfect. Some mothers are weak and irresponsible. Others are cold and indifferent. There are even jazz mothers. There are also great mothers. Great mothers find in motherhood an art. These take the plastic clay of trusting childhood with deft, loving understanding fingers, mold it into living objects of grandeur. Hannah of Ramah, Mary of Nazareth, Monica, mother of St. Augustine, and Susanna, with her little troop of Wesleys, were some of the greatest creative artists. They produced masterpieces out of human clay. They were women of courage. Did not Mary "stand by the cross of Jesus?" By their loyalty and self-giving have the greatest battles of the race been fought. It is in the struggles of the heart that destiny is determined. And is it not in the pure love of mothers that we see most clearly the true nature of the love of God? No matter how many years it has been since mother left, no matter what changes have come, no matter what else has been forgotten, clearly impressed in indelible lines on our brain is the face of mother. As long as the brain functions the fadeless beauty of that face will be forever there. It will rise before our mental vision as deathless as eternity and as fair as heaven, in the early hours of the morning, in the noonday’s heat and in the silent watches of the night. If there were nothing else to make us believe in the immortality of our souls, nothing else to lead us to strive for a life of purity, nothing else to make us hope for heaven, the recollection of mother would force us to it. No life like hers could end at the death of the body, no love like hers could perish in the grace, no patient endurance, no self-sacrifice, no devotion, no faith like hers could be other than god-like in its existence forever. One of the things we are most thankful for is we have come to a fuller appreciation than can come to youth. Sorrow, suffering, parenthood for ones self opens the eye of the child as nothing else can to the worth of a virtuous and worthy father and mother. Here is a little story that will give a glimpse into the heart of one son: Out of the mists of boyhood a professional man recalled the other day that exclamation of wonder, evoked by the first installation of a new kind of light burner, which converted crude natural gas into a white hood of radiant flame. He pictured again that home in Michigan and how one night, when all the other children were in bed, he crept softly down stairs that he might watch the magic globe brightly shining in the front room. "Underneath that illuminated burner sat my mother," the man said, "and she was intent on an exquisite piece of embroidery. Even now I can see her busy, bringing the threads into a pattern of beauty. But my boyish wonder was for the new light, not for the mother who worked hard all day long, took care of the children, helped father and then when the house was quiet, sat down under a gas burner to make a thing of loveliness for herself." The passing of years had done one thing for that boy grown into a man. It had transferred his wonder from a new type of illumination to the radiant face of his mother. It had shown him that she was more marvelous than any bit of mechanism. An interlocutory decree of divorce was granted Saturday, April 28, 1936, in the Superior Court, in the action, Neva B. Freeman vs. Merle Freeman. FORMER DEPUTY SHERIFF PASSES Frank Van Horn, former Sheriff of Modoc County and a Forest Ranger in the South Warner Mountains passed away at his home in Alturas last Friday.

NEWS NOTES FROM NEW PINE CREEK Mrs. Edith Frances Alexander, who died last Sunday, April 26th, was laid to rest in the New Pine Creek Cemetery on Tuesday morning, April 28th. A very fitting sermon was delivered by our local Baptist minister, Elder W. S. Goulding for our deceased lady, who was of a loving disposition, loved by all who knew her. A large number of friends attended the funeral and the casket was loaded with beautiful flowers. Mrs. Edith Frances Ainsworth was born in Bloomington, Illinois, on June 9th, 1864. Her father was Henry Green Ainsworth. She was converted to the Lord when a young woman and joined the Presbyterian Church. In the year of 1896, she was united in marriage to John Maddox Alexander and to this union five children were born; two sons, William and Ray; three daughters, Mrs. Mabel Horr, of New Pine Creek; Mrs. Edna Martin, of LaMonte, MO, and Mrs. Bessie Martin of Alturas. Mr. Alexander went to that part of Oklahoma that was called the Indian territory, when it was first thrown open to settlers and was one of many who were lined up together and at the firing of a shot for the signal, they all made a rush for a claim. In 1894, he moved his family down there and later the territory was added to the state of Oklahoma. In 1905, Mrs. Alexander joined the Baptist Church of Vici, Oklahoma. She came West with her husband and family in 1909 and in 1911 moved to new Pine Creek, where she resided until her death on April 26th, 1936. Mrs. Alexander loved the Lord and looked forward to going home to be with Him, especially after the passing of her husband in 1933. (4:6) D.

Brewster Adams of Reno tied the knot that we hope was tied in a way that will bring happiness and success to this popular and well-known young couple. The writer joins their many friends in wishing them happiness and success. THURSDAY, MAY 14, 1936 VALLEY PIONEER PASSES AWAY ON MAY 7TH Surprise Valley lost another of its esteemed pioneers last Thursday, in the death of Mary Ellen Wade, 84. Deceased was born near Muscatine, Iowa, February 22, 1852 and passed away May 7th, 1936, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. John Street, near Cedarville. In early womanhood she was united in marriage to Robert V. Wade and to this union, three children were born: Ruth, who died in infancy; Mrs. Mary Street, Cedarville and Robert L. Wade of Lakeview. Her husband preceded her in death some years ago. Mrs. Wade, nee Dusenberry, with her husband, settled in Surprise Valley in 1878 and underwent many of the trials and hardships endured by the early settlers of the valley, but with unbounded faith in her Lord, she was wont to say: "Everything will be all right, for He doeth all things well." The funeral was held from the M. E. Church Saturday afternoon, rev. Virgil A. Vinyard, officiating, assisted by the choir. The floral offerings were many and beautiful. "Tired! Ah, yes! So tired dear, I shall soundly sleep tonight, With never a dream and never a fear, To wake with the morning light." (1:1) Mr. and Mrs. Dan Hill, newlyweds, who returned last weekend from their honeymoon, were treated to an old fashioned charivari last Monday evening by the younger generation. After being treated at the Square Deal Ice Cream Parlor, the "gang" went forth and charivaried Mr. and Mrs. Paul golden, who recently returned from San Diego, where they received another treat. FRIENDS TELLS OF LIFE OF LATE GEORGE S. MILLER George Sparrow Miller was born in Kileolley, Ireland, in 1867. He later came to the U. S. A. and married Elizabeth Phair of New York. To this union was born four children who are Dorothy Jackson of Burney, Maybeth Reynolds of Cedarville, George S. Miller Jr., of Westwood and Janis Bishop of Berkeley. Because of poor health, Mr. Miller arrived with his family in Surprise Valley, California, in November 1920. Here he engaged in ranching until about two years ago he and his wife moved to Cedarville, where he entered the mercantile business. He continued with this until last January, he took a severe cold and while he forced himself to be up and running his business, he later had to give up. About three weeks ago he was taken to Berkeley for an operation but it was found that the disease was too far advanced and he died on May 7th and was buried in Berkeley. Mr. Miller leaves his wife, the four children and four grandchildren and friends although eternity only will reveal the number to mourn his loss. He was a member of the Morning Star Lodge, No. 47, F. &. A. M. of Seymour, Connecticut. He was also a member of Bonner Chapter, No. 232, O.E.S. and he had belonged to the Methodist Church the most of his life; and back of it all and underneath it all he belonged to Jesus Christ. So when he ceased to be a member of the Church militant, he was "called in the fellowship of the Church Triumphant, which is without spot before the Throne of God." George S. Miller has left us, but his memory will be cherished and his influence for good will be felt wherever he has lived until this world rolls up like a scroll. "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord, even so saith the Spirit, for they rest from their labors, and their works do follow with them." (1:3) George Miller, Jr., of Westwood, was a business visitor here last Thursday. Miller came to get his sister, Mrs. John Reynolds, who left with him for Berkeley, where they will attend the funeral of George Miller, Sr., who passed away at that place. NEWS NOTES FROM NEW PINE CREEK Ebb Follett is telling a good joke on himself. A board was loose on one of his cattle feed racks. He got a hammer and nails, stuck his head in the rack and nailed the loose board good and secure and when he started to take his head out he found that it would not come out. He has a rather vicious bull so when he looked around and spied the bull taking it all in, he kept his eye on the bull while he had his head fastened in the rack and swinging with the hammer in an endeavor to pry a board loose. It seems that in the course of a big swing he hit himself behind the ear, but the bull only stood by – no doubt too much amused to take advantage of Ebb’s defenseless position. Word reached New Pine Creek Saturday evening that Mrs. Ida Lansford, nee Oliver, of Willow Ranch was taken to Alturas for an operation. Up to this writing we have not heard how she is doing. Mr. and Mrs. Robert L. Wade of Lakeview were here last Saturday attending the funeral of Mr. Wade’s mother. THURSDAY, MAY 21, 1936 FIRE RAZES MINTO HOME THURSDAY EVE The home of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Minto of Eagleville was completely razed by fire last Thursday evening. Mrs. Minto was alone at the time, her husband being on a business trip to Redding. The fire is believed to have originated in an upstairs bedroom and spread rapidly throughout the structure. Neighbors quickly responded and were able to save considerable of the down stairs furnishings. Exact amount of the loss sustained by Minto has not been learned at this writing. LYLE STIMERS PASSES Funeral services are being held at the M. E. Church this afternoon for Lyle Stimers, who passed away at the general hospital in Alturas Tuesday evening. His illness extended over a period of seventeen years, with an incurable malady. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. G. R. Stimers, former residents of this place and brother of Floyd Stimers, of this place and other relatives, residing at Oakland. His obituary will appear in next week’s issue. (1:4) LAKE CITY NEWS NOTES Mrs. Charles Aikins was called below over a week ago, by the death of her sister. We extend our sympathy to Mrs. Aikins in her sorrow. Mr. and Mrs. C. V. Muzzy returned from San Francisco last Wednesday evening. Mrs. Muzzy is much improved in health but will have to return to San Francisco in June for further examination. It is found she will have to seek a lower altitude. The many friends here of George S. Miller regretted to hear of his death. Mr. Miller made his home here for several years and was always found to be a wonderful friend and neighbor. To his family go the sympathy of the entire community.

Snippets of The Dalles Area Local History June 25, 2006 Page A5 and Date Unknown This photo turned out to be tougher than we expected. B and G.F., B.B. and the perpetual T.H. recognized construction of The Dalles Dam. But D.L. laid down chapter and verse: "This photo was taken just after complete closure of the main river channel between Big Eddy and the lower river by the lower lock entrance to The Dalles-Celilo Canal. At this point, the Columbia was completely stopped and diverted to an alternate passage through the eastern eight skeleton unit bays of The Dalles Powerhouse structure. When completed, this non-overflow fill was raised to the height of the deck of the powerhouse structure and formed the east connection between The Dalles Powerhouse/Dam structure and the Oregon shore. The vertical grill-like openings on the upstream face of the concrete structure are the openings where the East Fish ladder will enter the forebay."

Snippets of The Dalles Area Local History June 18, 2006 Page A5 and June 25, 2006, Page A5 Last week's History Mystery, was the Smith French house, located on the northeast corner of Fourth and Union streets, where the Wasco Electric Co-op now stands. (Or, as the original label on the photo called it, the REA). [Rural Electric Association. The building had some architectural similarities to the old St. Mary's Academy (which was just across Third St. from today's St. Peter's Landmark, the former Catholic Church), and this confused several callers. Also, this building is not to be confused with the "French House" at 515 Liberty St. which formerly served as a restaurant (The French House, the Wasco House, and most recently Bailey's Place). That's a different building. Permission to reprint given by The Dalles Chronicle Earline Wasser Incoming and Outgoing messages protected by Trend Micro PC-cillin program

Laura, As far as I know, we do not have a Harvey HUSTON. It is not out of the question, though, as my gg grandmother, Sarah Jane FRUM, who married into the HUSTON line, had a brother named Harvey. Descendents of William Omer HUSTON might have had a Harvey in there somewhere, but I cannot say for sure. William Omer mentioned above, a son of Sarah Jane FRUM and Algenon Sydney HUSTON, did end up in Washington, as did some of his family...

Dear all, I thought I might add some names to this posting with hopes that there will be new connections made. My great grandfather, Marcus Wayne HUSTON, was born in 1867 in Albany, OR. He first married Bertha HADLEY, who died before her 20th birthday, in Heppner, OR. They had one daughter, Bertha HUSTON, who was later raised by her mother's parents, John P. and Lena M. HADLEY. Marcus Wayne HUSTON, better known as just Wayne, moved to British Columbia in about 1896, and worked as a teamster, driving stagecoach for the BX Express, from Ashcroft to Barkerville, and places in between. He later settled in Soda Creek, having married Annie McINNES. Wayne HUSTON's parents were Algenon Sidney HUSTON and Sarah Jane FRUM, who were each born in Illinois, and moved with families across the Oregon Trail to Oregon in 1853. Sidney HUSTON's parents were Joel Bradshaw HUSTON, born in White River, TN, and Catherine (Kitty) HOUSTON, born in Memphis, TN. After their marriage, the family moved to Illinois, and then on to Oregon. Sarah FRUM's parents were Eugenus FRUM, born in West Virginia, and Elizabeth Mifs BARNETT, born in Kentucky. They arrived in Oregon about 1851, settling a claim in 1853. Elizabeth BARNETT's parents were Ephraim BARNETT, born in Pennsylvania, and Jane McCLENAHAN, born in Kentucky. They moved to Oregon. I would be interested in any connections that people might have to any of these families. Thank-you.
