Hello, Louisa Cummins married a man named Dowell or McDowell in Douglas County on 30 Dec 1881. I am trying to connect this lady to my family. I would like to make contact with anyone who knows anything about this couple, but especially Louisa Cummins. I believe she died prior to 1900 and don't know whether she had any children before her death. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you for your help. Ken Tessendorff San Carlos, CA

John Miller was the son of German immigrant parents who settled in Lima, Ohio. About 1885 he took his nephew William Edgar Leach to settle in La Grande, Union Co., OR. Is there anyone researching a John Miller, of German origins, and in this time frame? Any Miller families in Oregon who have Ohio roots? Thank you very much, Lillian Kathleen Martin

The Dalles Chronicle April 28, 2002 Looking Back is compiled by Elroy King of The Chronicle staff. 20 Years Ago, April 28, 1982 Opposing sides in the simmering dispute between the followers of an Indian guru and long-time residents of the tiny town of Antelope (Oregon) sat down at the negotiations table today with a federal mediator. Federal Mediator Robert Lamb Jr., regional director of Community Relations Service in the U.S. Department of Justice office in Seattle (Washington), was called in by Jefferson County District Attorney Mile Sullivan. Part of the sect's 100-square mile Muddy Ranch is in Jefferson County and part is in Wasco County. Jeff Justesen ripped five hits, including a single, two doubles, triple and a home run to lead Sherman County to a 16-12 Columbia Basin Conference West Division baseball victory over Heppner in Heppner on Tuesday. Justesen had eight runs batted in for the Huskies, who improved their league record to 3-3. Wahtonka High School's (The Dalles) student council has won an excellent rating from the Oregon Association of Student Councils which audited the Wahtonka unit last week. The Wahtonka Council scored 689 of 750 possible. Anne Ellett is the president of the ASB (Associated Student Body). 40 Years Ago, April 28, 1962 Judy Beck began her reign as Cherry Sweetheart for Wasco County and the entire Northwest cherry industry when Addie Lou Root, of Mosier (Oregon), placed the crown on Judy's head before a packed Home, Auto and Boat Show audience of Friday night. Addie Lou was the 1961 Wasco County Cherry Sweetheart. Selection of the 17-year-old Judy was made earlier in the day, coronation climaxing a contest sponsored by the Wasco County Fruit and Produce League. Others in the court are Dixie Webb, Tygh Valley (Oregon); Joan Crittenden, Mosier; and Lois Groce, Dufur (Oregon). Possibility of a special train from The Dalles to the Century 21 Exposition in Seattle (Washington) has been discussed by the Retail Trade Division of The Dalles Chamber of Commerce and is tentatively set for departure on Thursday evening, June 14, according to A.O. DeFrate, assistant manager of the Chamber of Commerce. DeFrate said a minimum of 300 fares are needed to fill the 15 cars and a lounge car on the Union Pacific Line for the trip. 60 Years Ago, April 28, 1942 Conversion of one of the Port of The Dalles from sack to a bulk wheat storage facility was proposed as one means of alleviating Wasco County's sack shortage problem last night when Superintendent O.W. Gustafson reported to the local commission that such a plan seems practical and should work to the advantage of the port and farmers alike. He pointed out that no more sacks will be available to farmers until after the emergency. With all but five precincts reporting, selective service registration in Wasco County for men in the 45-65 age group has aggregated a grand total of 1,514 by noon today, T. Leland Brown, commander of The Dalles American Legion, reported early this afternoon. The Dalles led the list with 1,119 registration, followed up Maupin with 94; Dufur, 85; Wamic, 45' Tygh Valley, 37; Wapinita and Boyd, 26 each, and Friend, 12. Precincts still to be heard from include Simnasho, Shaniko, Antelope, Mosier and Celilo. 80 Years Ago, April 28, 1922 About 40 friends who reside in the neighborhood went to the home of Ollie Lash in the Three Mile district yesterday and spent the day plowing and working his orchard. Lash has been laid up with rheumatism. About ten teams were contributed for the workers, who took picnic dinners along on their errand of mercy. W.F. Doak furnished coffee for the occasion. County School Superintendent A.E. Gronewald today started distribution of about $17,000, the first half of money realized by elementary education fund, to the various schools in the county. Distribution is on a teacher basis, averaging about $150 per teacher. He is also making a distribution from the general county school fund of about $2 per pupil to the various county schools. 100 Years Ago, April 28, 1902 James A. Tate of Nashville, Tennessee will speak at the courthouse Wednesday night at 8 o'clock on the subject of Prohibition, all are invited to be present, especially the ladies. There are few old timers in this section who have not heard of Perry Maupin and all will regret to learn that he had the misfortune to lose his home, at the mouth of Little Trout Creek in the Antelope country by fire a week ago. So quickly did the flames spread that Mrs. Maupin, and her grandson, Howard, barely escaped the former badly blistered by the flames. The Maupin home was one of the oldest in that section of that country, having been built in 1877, and in addition to the financial loss involved, it was a severe loss to Grandma Maupin who had spent so many years of her life there.

I had requested for someone to look up an obituary for Daisy Wilson, d aug 1985. I have learned that this particular Daisy is not the one I am seeking. So, just wanted to prevent anybody trying to look it up for me. Pat Palmer found info. on Ancestry.com and I learned that the spouse did not match. As I told Pat, this is one of the hazzards of genealogy research. Karol Wilson Gale

The Dalles Chronicle April 21, 2002 Looking Back is compiled weekly by Elroy King. 20 Years Ago, April 21, 1982 Kelly McCarger of Mosier (Oregon) has received his Eagle Scout ranking. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Edwin McCarger and he is attending the University of Oregon. Kelly is a 1981 graduate of Wahtonka High School (The Dalles). He became a member of Cub Scout Pack 374 in 1971. 40 Years Ago, April 21, 1962 A light plane curved under a power line, hit the gravel just outside the driveway of the Howard Weathers home about a mile south of the Hood River city limits and skidded more than 100 feet before coming to rest at the edge of the the field Friday afternoon. The pilot, Thomas l'Anson of Seattle (Washington), was unhurt. He received a slight abrasion - not even a cut - on his finger. Remodeling at the present Salvation Army headquarters, 623 E. Third Street, has forced a temporary move to 212 Washington Street. Lieutenant Nels R. Nelson reported that all welfare and church activities will take place at the temporary location throughout most of the summer months. 60 Years ago, April 21, 1942 Three men were injured, one seriously yesterday afternoon when a northbound S.P.& S.(Seattle, Portland & Spokane) railroad train crashed through a flame swept bridge trestle, approximately 21 miles south of Wishram (Washington), piling up 10 loaded freight cars like cordwood and blocking the Oregon trunk line to further traffic for several days. Most painfully hurt was the brakeman, Lawrence Mohler, who suffered a compound fracture of the right ankle when he leaped from the fast moving locomotive. 80 Years Ago, April 21, 1922 Chang Hong, an aged Chinese cannery worker is dead, and Or Ching, a Portland man, is held in the county jail on an open charge as a result of a tong war flare up in The Dalles last night. The shooting took place in front of the Wing Yuen company store at 208 First Street about 3:15. Hong, who lived in the little room above the store, although he was not connected with it in any way, had apparently stepped outside the door with nothing but slippers on his feet, to breathe the evening air. Mr. and Mrs. J.E. Bowen, 1313 Pine street, returned to The Dalles Wednesday after an automobile trip to southern California, which they began last September. The Bowens, carried camping equipment with them and enjoyed a winter visiting in various places in or near Santa Fe, California. 100 Years Ago, April 21, 1902 Participants in the dance given by Sandvig at the Baldwin Saturday night seemed to be making up for lost time. At any rate the dancers had a splendid time. The crowd was just the right size and the music, furnished by Bert Baldwin, good, while everyone present was in a mood to enjoy themselves. We understand that Mr. Sandvig expects to give another party this week. The streams in this vicinity are not to be forgotten in the distribution of Eastern Brook Trout. Deputy game and forestry warden, L. Fritz, will receive 10,000 through A.E. Gebhardt, secretary of the Oregon Game Association from the U.S. fish commissioners. He will place 4000 in Fifteen Mile creek above Dufur (Oregon); 3000 in Upper Eight Mile and 3000 above the falls at Mile (Mill?) creek These trout are protected by law until 1904 and fishermen will have to look out for them.
