The records were/are kept with the specific social service agency that had custody of the child. Officially, there were no "orphanages". They were all disguised as schools, homes for wayward women, service organizations, etc; I even found an orphanage that claimed to be a nursing home!!! Like today, the exact location of most of these "orphanages" is confidential; their business offices were/are located away from the actual orphanage or family housing the child. We could check more specifically, if you have an idea of who handled the adoption or schooling. Maybe a church group or fraternal organization he/she joined immediately upon age of majority.

I am interested in finding the names and locations of records for orphanages that existed in the Portland area between 1920 and 1927. Stephen Clark [email protected]

Looking Back: A Glimpse Through The Chronicle’s Files January 16, 2005 20 Years Ago, January 16, 1985 Two Salvation Army officers, formerly stationed at The Dalles Citadel, will be honored by the Social Security Administration on Thursday for their work in helping to provide for homeless people who left the Central Oregon commune of Rajneeshpuram. Donald Sutcliffe, Region 10 administrator for the SSA, will present certificates of merit to Ross and Nancy Allemang, auxiliary captains and co-commanders of the Army’s Harbor Light Center in Portland. The Allemangs were in The Dalles from July of 1974 to June of 1979. Herb Crook Jr. took office officially today as Wasco County Assessor by accepting the oath formally. He was appointed last week to succeed Claire Balzer who has retired. 40 Years Ago, January 16, 1965 Replacement of the high bridge on Chenowith Road near Murray’s Addition will be deferred “a full year” because of heavy financial burdens imposed on the county by the December flood, Wasco County Judge James Hunt said Friday. He explained that the county probably would not be able to raise the 20 percent needed for matching money. Fifty years of Kiwanis International history and 43 years for The Dalles club were noted at the regular weekly meeting Thursday noon of the club at Hotel Dalles Blue Room when officers for 1965 were installed. Harry Wickman took the president’s gavel, relinquished by Donnell Smith, club president for the year. Other new officers installed were Vern Tenneson, first vice president; Ralph Stearns, second vice president; and T. Frank Brumbaugh, who has served about one quarter of a century as the club’s secretary. During all of that time he had perfect attendance at the weekly luncheon meetings and other club functions. 60 Years Ago, January 16, 1945 Because of the terrific pounding they gave the Japanese-held Volcano Islands on the third anniversary of Pearl Harbor, 2nd Lt. Ernest A. Miles, bombardier from The Dalles, and other members of the 7th AAF heavy bombardment group, recently received the praise of Brigadier General Truman Landon, commanding general of the 7th bombardment command, according to a public relations dispatch from the command. The U.S. Forest service will attempt to man all lookout posts in the Mt. Hood forest in the area adjacent to The Dalles with local help this year, according to Eric Gordon, district forest ranger with headquarters in Dufur (Oregon). Gordon said that the services of a number of persons would be required for that work, which is expected to extend over a period of three to three and one half months. 80 Years Ago, January 16, 1925 Dividing the annual report into two sections, the accomplishments of 1924 and the expectations of 1925, W.S. Nelson spoke before a crowd of 200 Kiwanians and members of the Chamber of Commerce at the banquet held in civic auditorium last night. Mr. Nelson’s address was on the subject of irrigation. He told, in terms of tons, dollars and acreage how additional water may be supplied on land now semiarid and capable of producing high garden crops is property irrigated. Two men giving the names of Harry Kennedy and Jack Mood were taken from the engine of passenger train No. 26 last night and lodged in the city jail, where they are held for investigation by the railroad police. One of the men was in possession of a dozen hack saw blades and could give no explanation of why he was carrying them. 100 Years Ago, January 16, 1905 Learning that a bill for creation of Cascade County, the western boundary of which will run along a line extending up Seven mile hill, below The Dalles, will be introduced in the legislature by Representative Jayne and that a petition will accompany it signed by Hood River (Oregon) people, at a meeting held this morning it was decided to circulate a remonstrance. Dalles people have nothing against Hood River, but feel that such a move would be injurious at this time. A deal is on today, whereby a stock company, composed mostly of business men of this city, will purchase the Columbia Brewery from August Buchler, the consideration being $35,000. Mr. Buchler has been in business in The Dalles for about 30 years, having purchased the brewery from the late Emil Schanno.

History Mystery Photo January 16, 2005 By Rodger Nichols of The Chronicle (Text Only) What a response to last week’s photo. Yes, it was The Dalles Hotel… Nedra Fought recognized it well because “that’s where Frank and I were married 65 years ago. My parents were married there in 1912, which gave us the idea.” Terray Harmon remembered that Helen Pattee operated a beauty salon there for many years. Geri Whitmeyer said her Uncle Eddie lived there for 30 years and worked at the railroad station across Second Street. Doris Fleck said her Aunt Rosina worked there as a secretary in the 1920s. Jake Grossmiller’s grandmother, Mary Grossmiller, was one of the last hostesses in the downstairs coffee shop and his cousin Dan Grossmiller worked for the company hired to demolish the building in 1967. A crane was used to lift a TD-6 Caterpillar to the the hotel roof. “It knocked down the elevator head and created a ramp to get it down to the top floor where it started knocking out walls.” He said bricks were salvaged and cleaned because they had been presold to a construction company in Reno, Nevada. “Part of The Dalles Hotel is still around, scattered all over Reno,” he said. John Foley noted his family’s long history with the hotel, which was built in 1910. His grandfather, Pat Foley, brought the building in 1920 and it was kept in the family until 1963. “In 1928, he bought Thornton Lakes, which became Foley Lakes,” Foley said. Milk from cows that grazed near the lake and catfish from the lake itself were both used at the hotel restaurant. John’s Uncle Pat and Uncle Jerome ran the hotel at different times, as did his father, Tom Foley, founder of Spooky’s Pizza and other local ventures.

Looking Back: A Glimpse Through the Chronicle’s Files January 2, 2005 20 Years Ago, January 2, 1985 Michael Richard Carrillo arrived into the world at 3:43 a.m. New Year’s Day. He was the first child born this year at Mid-Columbia Medical Center. He weighed in at seven pounds even and was 19 inches long. 40 Years Ago, January 2, 1965 A young mother from flood-torn Sherman County, isolated by washed out railroads and highways, who arrived by helicopter December 23, saw her baby boy welcomed as The Dalles area’s first baby in 1965. The boy, who weighed in at a husky 8 pounds, 4 œ ounces was born at 1:34 p.m. New Year’s Day at The Dalles General Hospital to Mr. and Mrs. William C. Smith of Kent (Oregon). 60 Years Ago, January 2, 1945 Mr. and Mrs. Charles Jenkensen formerly of Sweetwater, Texas, arrived at The Dalles Airport Saturday. Jenkensen is a licensed aircraft and engine mechanic, and he will take charge of aircraft maintenance at the local field. Mrs. Jenkensen will operate the post office and a small restaurant at the field. As a result of the November 7 vote, in which The Dalles City residents approved a plan to add 25 cents to each water bill to set up a fund for post-war improvements, all payments for water rent this month must include the additional charge, according to J.I. Chambers, manager of the local water department office. Among the graduates of the Medical Field Service school, Carlisle barracks, Pennsylvania December 30 was John H. Skirving of The Dalles, a communication from the school reported today. Skirving, who has the rank of lieutenant, received his M.D. degree from Creighton University School of Medicine. 80 Years Ago, January 2, 1925 The dawn of 1925 sees many things of interest transpiring in The Dalles, or scheduled to transpire within a few days. Watch parties, at houses and in industrial plants, greeted the new year with a noisy reception. Whistles were blown, bells were rung and people on the street proclaimed the event by lusty yelling. Five people were rounded up by police on charges of liquor law violations. Homer Clark, an old offender, told Judge D.L. Cates this morning his latest spree was the last, he was just finishing up his 1924 supply. 100 Years Ago, January 3, 1905 Evidently a few residents of The Dalles have forgotten to swear off, as five or six boozers were brought before Judge Filloon this morning, enriching the city treasury in the amount of $10 in cash besides several days of work on the streets. The members of the Congregational Church Sunday school have chosen their officers for this year: Reverend D.V. Poling, superintendent; Professor J.S. Landers and Mr. B.S. Huntington, associate superintendent; Mrs. Lina Liebe, secretary; Allen Roberts, treasurer; Walter Huntington, librarian; Mrs. J.L. Landers, chorister; Miss Emma Roberts, organist; Miss Prudence Patterson and Miss Hazel Huntington, pianists.
