I believe the Oregon Archives in Salem have a card file on those Oregon WWI soldiers from Oregon. Lillian

I received this e-mail the other day. It sounds like quite a project. I'll enclose the e-mail I received. If any of you could take a look at the website and see if you can identify the pictures, I know it would be appreciated by Richard. It sounds like a real labor of love. Richard has given his permission to post this on the two Oregon lists. Janine ************************************************************ Oregon Date: Wed, 27 Feb 2002 22:42:33 -0800 From: "C. Richard Matthews" <crmatthews@tcnet.net> To: borks@aracnet.com I have a web site called unknownpic that I'm putting old photos on some are identified and most aren't I have just added one of a parade in Albany Oregon in 1898 I don't know what county that is but if you would let the person that covers that county know perhaps they would like to copy it and maybe identify some of the others. These were taken on glass plate negatives that belong to a Doctor here in KY. He traveled through the west in 1898 taking photos and the 200 I have where in a barn and it looked like over a thousand were broke I save these and think they would be of interest to people doing genealogy maybe some of their family. I just add 10 per month as that is all I can afford to have printed due to cost. "http://www.tcnet.net/unknownpic"

Thank you all very much, Lillian Kathleen Martin. Researching:LEA! CH/MIDDLEBRROK/PELTIER/ BERLAND/WRIGHT/BROWER all in OREGON.

I am researching Lavera Middlebrook Peltier. She is the d/o Edward Noble Middlebrook b. 1863 NY. and Effie N. Greenlee b. 1869 MD. Her parents were both raised in Corydon, IA. About 1887 the Middlebrook family took the Oregon Trail. Lavera born about 1900 in La Grande ,OR. She had siblings: Iris, Frances, and Edward Jr. Lavera married E.P. Peltier in Oregon prior to 1922, and then relocated to Santa Barbara with her entire family. Her husband operated a restaurant there known by his name. However, as of 1937 Lavera Peltier had moved back to reside in Ashland, OR. If anyone is researching the Peltier family of Oregon I would love to give you information on this family. I also have information on Soloman Peltier in Spokane Co., Washington Territory as of 1860, which may be one of the earliest Peltier's to the area. Lillian Kathleen Martin.

Lilly, I also have no problem. There are some people out there that have to complain about something or they are not happy. They are the kind that would complain if a pencil was not straight on the desk. Ignore those kind of people. Good Luck in your research. Bobbie

If my vote counts, I haven't gotten any download commands, and I'm sure ppl here are smart enough not to download anything from strangers, so I don't see what the problem is, unless Rootsweb does..

LILLY How come every time you post on this list; I am notified there is a DOWNLOAD commmand associated with your message? I REFUSE to download anything I know nothing about!!!! It is only with your messages. Bev Powell bwpowell@sympatico.ca Strathroy, Ontario, Canada

Lilly: I have no problems with your email and I get no such message. You don't have to unsubscribe, people just have to learn how to deal with problems at their end of their computer. Sharon

Hi Lilly, I had three great-uncles from Portland who served in WWI. The one who went in the Army was shipped east. He (and the rest of C Co.) lived at Ft. Myer, Virginia, and trained in Maryland. The Oregon State Archives search engine has a record of enlistment in 1917 for Charles E. Leach. Could he be your grandfather?

Thank you for the reply, I will see what I can dig up from Fort Lewis.

My Grandfather Charled Edward Leach was born 3-16-1897 in La Grande, Union Co., OR. His Mother was Pearl Daphne Wright, who had arrived in La Grande in a covered wagon in 1881 from Iowa. Charles Leach was about 17 yrs. old when the GREAT WAR called him to duty. He was living in Portland, Or. at that time and was among the first Oregon boys to ship out. I would like to know, at that time, where would all the boys go for training? I have read newspaper articles from Oregon at that time, and they mention Camp Merrill, NJ. Is this correct? I imagine they would be rounded up and put on a train to NJ then after short training course, then ship out. Anyone out there know about Oregon soldiers in WWI? I would love to know more details of their enlisting and transport procedure. Lillian Kathleen Martin.
