Can't answer your specific question. Oregon Geographic Names by Lewis A. McArthur published 1965, mentions a Katherine Harris, in a column headed "Off the Record", in the Lebanon Express for January 23, 1947, gives a good deal of history about the place called Crowfoot. gtpub@teleport.com wrote: > Listers > Does anyone know when Crowfoot Elementary School, District 89, was > built.

Listers Does anyone know when Crowfoot Elementary School, District 89, was built. My dad went there as a youngster. He thinks that the school was built 1935. I would be grateful for any help. Thanks. Dean gtpub@teleport.com

I am reading a newspaper story about one of my wife's early Oregon pioneer relatives and I came across this... ..."in a hewed log cabin, with cedar pouncheon for a floor"... what is a "cedar pouncheon"??? Jim

David, Thanks for sharing the article. It may well be the catalyst that prompts me to finally make the trip. I have been putting it off for too many years. Four sets of my grgrgrparents came across the trail. I have visited sites here and there - helter skelter, but that doesn't give one the same feel for it as following it. Much appreciated. Midge

Hello, Looking for a lady by the name of Pat Bissell who emailed me a couple of years back about the PENROSE surname.She was living somewhere in Oregon at the time. If anyone knows her or knows if she has a new email address,please let me know. Her old email address was faye@teleport.com. Thank you Bessie Tennessee

Teleport was bought out by Earthlink a couple years ago. Try giving Earthlink a call at (800)511-2041 and see if they can help you. (Maybe Pat is still with the internet service provider.)

Please forgive me if this is not the correct list for this posting. I am searching for the descendants of Johanna Wallraff (nee Muller) and Rudolf Wallraff. They lived in Berlin, Germany c. 1890. They had 3 children - Werner, Gisela and Lores. Rudolf died 2nd January, 1896 of a brain haemorrhage. Johanna bought a "pension" (group of appartments to which she let out to foreigners for holidays). This was number 5 Schiffbauerdamm, Berlin. This building still stands today and is a restaurant and apartments. Johanna had a sister named Marianne and 2 brothers - Richard and Fritz. Richard (who is my husband's grandfather) migrated to South Australia in 1895 and then a quick move to Western Australia where he spent the rest of his life until 1943. If anyone has any information on the above family I would dearly like to be in touch with you or if anyone knows of any Wallraffs would you please pass this information on to them. With thanks.

Sunday, January 13, 2002 Looking Back is compiled each week by Elroy King 20 Years Ago, January 13, 1982 The new juvenile detention facility for Wasco County approved for use by a state jail inspection team on Tuesday, was officially opened for use today in ceremonies attended by county administrators. County Judge Rick Cantrell and juvenile department director Jim Roth handled the official opening ceremony. Before the facility here opened juveniles who had to be detained were taken either to Portland or Pendleton, a costly procedure, both in reimbursing those counties for detention costs and in transporting local juveniles back and forth to those facilities. 40 Years Ago, January 13, 1962 Jacque Bucholtz, Sherman High School, and Bill Garrett, Goldendale (Washington), will be crowned 1962 Youth for Christ King and Queen by television star Ty Hardin of the "Cheyenne" series Monday at 8 p.m. at The Dalles High Auditorium. Voting for the Queen and King was held in November, with teen age nominees representing The Dalles, Sherman (Oregon), Wasco Union (Oregon), Condon (Oregon), Goldendale (Washington), Columbia and Trout Lake (Washington) high schools. Winners were announced last Sunday at a rally with Dave Grant, from the staff for Youth for Christ International. The Dalles Indians, who are establishing somewhat of a reputation for sharp shooting, outscored an eager but often ineffective Redmond team here Friday night to pull even with the Panthers in Intermountain Conference play. The score was 48-31. The win was the first in three conference starts for The Dalles. Top scorers for the Indians last night was guard K.C. Kortge with 16. 60 Years Ago, January 13, 1942 Residents of Wasco County who have yet to be call on by members of The Dalles High School band -- recently placed in charge of collecting waste paper for defense purposes -- were asked to have patience today by Director Melvin Johnson, who said that the weather had impeded local solicitations thus far but that the drive is continuing and a complete house-to-house canvas will be conducted in the near future. Despite existing handicaps, approximately 15 tons of paper already have been collected and now is stacked on a loading platform of The Dalles Cooperative Growers, Johnson revealed. Ten new directors were named to the executive board of The Dalles Chamber of Commerce yesterday when the annual election was conducted in this city. Those elected from a total of 19 candidates include: W.R. Webber, I.C. Davies, M.M. Donnell, Max Kaseberger, V.E. Rolfe, Carl Stiefel, L. Barnum, F.M. Sexton, R.B. Bennett and H.L. Eddins. 80 Years Ago, January 13, 1922 The railroad wreck at Celilo (Oregon) on the morning of December 1, in which trains No. 17 and 12 crashed head on with the resulting toll of seven killed and scores injured was caused by the "more or less failure on the part of officials of the Oregon-Washington Railroad and Navigation Company to adhere strictly to the written rules of that railroad," according to the findings of the Oregon Public Service Commission based on the investigation of "the circumstances of the wreck made by that body." A copy of the commission's findings has just been received by coroner C.N. Burget. 100 Years Ago, January 13, 1902 Hon Riley, as he calls himself, claiming to be a former member of parliament, was escorted to the Chateau D'Wood by His Honor, the Marshal, who found him condescending to address common, ordinary citizens familarly and honoring them for a "five". He spent the day in "quietude", not being able to secure the "five." In honor of the late D.M. French, senior member of the firm, the bank of French & Co. will be closed until Wednesday morning. As will be seen by the call from the mayor in another column, business houses will be closed tomorrow from 12 to 6, the funeral taking place a 1. Many flags were at half mast throughout the city today. Written permission to reprint Looking Back: A Glimpse Through The Chronicles Files given by The Dalles Chronicle, The Dalles, Oregon.
