Hi Dan, We got messed up some time back.... we were going to try to meet at the State Archives and it never happened. I moved to Dallas from Woodburn to take care of my mother in 2001 and was too tied down there to continue my excursions to Salem. My email back then was [email protected] While in Dallas and after I switched to wvi, I sent you quite a lengthy epistle regarding mutual Maupin heritage, and our interest in Modoc Co. CA. I also asked you about your experience with wvi.com and it was a long time before you replied, which message was lost in dealing with computer problems. Adware got to me and I had the system rebuilt last Oct. I was right about wvi unceremoniously getting me unsubscribed from my mailing lists. I've now come to Arkansas on an extended visit with my daughter, and have been continuously subscribed to my lists all year so far without a hitch. The only fly in the ointment is that sbcglobal is Yahoo-powered and a pain a pill can't reach! Maybe you have some recollection of the above. However, even though we never got around to a face-to-face, I still feel like I know you and in keeping with not getting around to things, the date of your message (02 Apr) is typical! > We are looking fwd to summer, going to > drive around and do some picturing of > places and also to visit some museums. I've been taking pictures, too, and will get plenty when we go to Kentucky for the POWERS reunion June 25th. My line is from Sanford POWER b 27 Jul 1847 in Morgan Co. KY and Elizabeth MAUPIN b Aug 1838, dau of William MAUPIN and Sally DENNIS. Sanford and Elizabeth were m 30 Dec 1857 in Bath Co. KY. My grandfather, William POWERS was one of the 9 children of Sanford and Elizabeth and m Maud Violet BROOKS who was born 1880 in Modoc Co. Curious connection is that a George MAUPIN also married into the BROOKS family, my grandmother's sister Ella, I believe. They weren't same wagon train families who intermarried because of that association so I don't know how they happened to hook up. I don't have all my records here with me, darn it, and hesitate to send for what I didn't bring and then have to ship it all back in a couple of months. > I am having a Matney/Cooper/Penrose/ > Rogers etc Oregon relations get together the > last week of June on I-5 rest area where it > crosses the Santiam river - it is connected > under the freeway to both sides.

Hi Might be of interest to someone, I have just returned from Tasmania, and in Campbelltown they have started a brick road for the Convicts who came to Australia, ancestors can purchase a brick, this included the 92 American prisoners who where transported on the Buffalo after the Canadian Rebellion. Edward Augusta Wilson who returned to USA and settled in Oregon in 1845 has a brick purchased by his gg granddaughter who lives in San Fran. A plaque has also been placed on the spot that the Buffalo first landed. Edward was buried in Pendleton in the late 1800's. Gloria

Thanks for letting me know that the Molalla Funeral Chapel is willing to help me in finding out which relatives are buried at the Adams Cemetery. Sandra Mahar

Sandra, Way back in 2001, I wrote the Molalla Funeral Chapel, 220 E. Main Street, Molalla, OR 97038-0186 to find the graves of my ancestors in Adams Cemetery. They have a website now with the following email address: [email protected] You might email them for help. I sent a small donation to cover their research time.

The trees in background on the top of hills are of Columbia Gorge region. Rock type and building style. And it's a hotel.

Thanks to all who responded both on and off the list. The answer makes me blush as I should have thought of it. It's the Koberg Beach resort that existed just east of the Hood River city limits. My parents talked of dancing there, and my mother learned to swim in the crib there. The photo album has many pictures of Bonneville Dam being built as well as subsequent pictures of land being flooded, so I'm guessing the mystery picture is part of the fascination its owner had for that project. Here's what the Oregon Parks and Recreation web site says: >Once upon a time -- from about 1915 to about 1950 -- a giant wonderful >dance hall and outdoor resort existed at Koberg Beach. When the town of >Hood River wanted to cool off or go ballroom dancing to the sounds of a >swing orchestra, they went to Koberg Beach. Eventually, the ballroom and >the beach had to make way for the rising Columbia River when hydroelectric >dams were constructed. For a complete view of the way it was, go see the >Koberg Beach exhibit at the Hood River County Museum in Hood River. > >Today, Koberg Beach is a wayside that serves busy westbound motorists on >I-84 with a restroom and a stretch break. An enjoyable beach lies behind >the great rock which screens its recreational access from the busy freeway. Again, thank you all! Beth

I have collected a few links to Oregon cemeteries. not sure if it is here. If any one has links I do not have, please would you check my list and see so we can up date the list ? http://www.wvi.com/~wb/OregonLinks1.html Dan M ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, April 20, 2005 11:32 PM Subject: Re: [OREGON] Adams Cemetery in Molalla, OR > > I have some relatives buried at the Adams Cemetery in Clackamas Co., OR. > Does anyone know which church owns it, and who would have a list of who is > buried there? > > Sandra Mahar > ========================================

I have some relatives buried at the Adams Cemetery in Clackamas Co., OR. Does anyone know which church owns it, and who would have a list of who is buried there? Sandra Mahar

Judy, We do have a connection with the Smiths and Cooks. Below is what I have on Sophia's family: Sophia was a sister of my g-g-grandfather, Seley Mansfield Cook. 1. Henry Bishop Smith, born 10 Dec 1824 in Geneva, Green Co., PA1; died 26 Jun 1865 in Noti, Lane Co, OR2. He was the son of 2. Freeman Smith and 3. Margaret B. Hilderbrand. He married (1) Sophia Almira Cook 19 Feb 1849 in Cedar Co., Iowa3. She was the daughter of Beckwith W. Cook and Sybil Olds. Notes for Henry Bishop Smith: From Marion County History, Vol 1-12 (Bound booklets), p 19, Vol XI: Pottery jugs, crocks & bottles were manufactured at Buena Vista. In 1865 Freeman Smith and his sons arrived in Oregon by way of the Isthmus of Panama. Hearing of a recently discovered bed of superior fire clay at Buena Vista, they investigated the area. Soon they built kilns and started a stoneware or pottery plant. A deposit of "slip clay" needed for glazing the ware at intense heat was found near Corvallis. The business grew by leaps and bounds creating a boom in Buena Vista. By 1870 there were four "turners" at the wheels and 10 Chinamen were employed to mix the clay. Buena Vista pottery is now a collectors item." "Pottery on the Willamette" , by Blaine A. Schmeer, 1987, Halcyon Publications, Canby, OR. A history of the Oregon Pottery Company 1866-1896, Halcyon Pub., PO Box 766, Canby, OR 97013. Author is great grandson of Amedee M. Smith.

Notes for Freeman Smith: Started the pottery business and later owned Willamette Iron & Steel. Impressions and Observations of the Journal Man, by Fred Lockley, 11/9/26 My father's mother and father, Mr and Mrs Freeman Smith, and their children started for Oregon by way of the Isthmus of Panama in 1865 to visit father and secure his advice as to the best district in which to make their home. When they reached San Francisco they received a letter from my mother telling them that father had died. (They) came to Noti Valley and lived with us for a while. Their sons, Freeman Smith, Jr., William Hampton Smith and Amedee M. Smith, after looking around for a while, settled in Buena Vista. (article goes on about Freeman and sons) ""My mother sold our farm in Noti Valley after father's death and we moved to Buena Vista. After some years she married James Allen, formerly of Polk County, but later of Crook County. He built the first flour mill at Prineville. Later he went on to Boyd, in Wasco County, not far from The Dalles, where he built and operated a flour mill. He died at the age of 87 in The Dalles. After his death my mother married Jesse Clark Orchard. For the whole article, see scrapbook/records. Child of Freeman Smith and Margaret Hilderbrand is: 1 i.

Remember to use my current email address, not the one in Sophia's Clippings. Also, there is a website "Journey on the Oregon Trail, 1851-1852" by Rommie Walker, telling of the wagon train trip. There is also a picture of Beckwith Cook and Mary Pettengill Cook. Try this address: http://www.mystic.com/dcd/collver/doc ------------------- About the Parrotts - Unfortunately, they're not the same ones. There were two Joseph Parrotts. One was the one that settled near Oregon City, and married Eleanor Fish in 1861 in Clackamas County, and then, I believe, May Jesse in 1878 in CC. I believe they moved on to Washington State. Then there was a Joseph E. Parrott. I am pretty sure he was brother to my Lewis Smith Parrott. He signed his donation land claim. Joseph E. Parrott was a Methodist minister, married Susan Garrison in Marion Co., according to his DLC, then moved to Yamhill County. He died shortly after 1870 census which showed him married to Lydia Ann Goodrich. Let me know if any questions, Barbara Cady [email protected]

Good evening, all -- While scanning photos from a relative's album I came across a picture of an unidentified large building that could be a hotel or museum or something of that nature. It appears as though there has been a flood as the building is almost surrounded by water and piling marks indicate the water had been at a higher level. The pictures in the album date from ca. 1910 through the 1940s, and the picture most likely was taken in Oregon or Washington, possibly in Wasco or Hood River County. If you'd like to look at it and see if you can identify the building and/or its location, you'll find it here: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~athena/unknown_building_in_water.html If you have an answer, please reply here to the list. Sorry, there's no prize for the winner(s) except my eternal gratitude! Thanks for any help, Beth

Hello Earlinem, Please add me to your list of recipients who wish to read your transcriptions privately. Thank you, Lynne Schmidt My great, great Uncle James Alexander Terwilliger who was born in the Schwangunk/New Palz area of New York in 1809. He married Sophronia Hurd in 1829. They moved to Michigan/Ohio and then Illinois where he settled for a short time. He was followed out to Illinois by his younger brother, William S. Terwillger. William married Phebe Curtis in Illinois in 1844. They were our great, great grandparents. James Alexander Terwilliger became uncomfortable around his neighbors and in 1845 packed up his children and wife and their belongings and hit the trail to Oregan. Sophrona died during the trip in the Dalles. James continued on with his children to Portland, Oregan where he became a first settler. He married a second time to Philinda Green. Their descendents are still in the Oregan area. William S. Terwilliger had a twin sister named, Caroline. She married William Chatterton in 1842. I have found Caroline's family in census records after years of trying to find her. She is eventually found in census records in Oregan with her children. Her husband is not listed in those records. William and James also had a brother named John who also made his way out to Oregan where he can be found in records as a tanner.
