Suzie, I am lurking:-) I have been engrossed in putting hundreds of photographs and labeling the pictures in albums for each of my four grandchildren and bringing the books current. I am doing the final chapter of a book I've compiled about the people buried in The Pioneer Cemetery in The Dalles. This book will be available through the Columbia Gorge Genealogical Society http://community.gorge.net I'm been active corresponding with many of our 150,000 military people through http://www.soldiersangels.org. I send weekly letters and each letter includes one or two double-sided pages of humor that comes to me via the Internet. I reminisce of my youth and younger adult years and they seem to like learning how "it used to be." Some of the things I've transcribed for you I have sent to them if it includes humor. I will be going on almost a month's vacation in July so I've composed some of the letters early and will mail them each week so their "letters from home" are not interrupted. It is the least I can do for them. The future willing I will be back transcribing Decades of History, History Mystery Photo and Looking Back: A Glimpse Through The Dalles Chronicle Files. My stamina has decreased during the past year so I can not keep at these activities hour after hour as I once did. I find myself resting more and "dozing" at the most inconvenient times. :-) I'll try to get a few more sent before leaving on vacation. Thanks for the nice sentiment you wrote.

Eva was born abt 1918 and was 2 in the 1920 census , living with parents in Raymond Pacific co WA. In the 1930 census Edward had been married to wife 2 Helen Pilz for 1 year, and no eva was listed. Family oral history says that Violet died young (she was born in abt 1903) so did she die or was she divorced, by 1929, and did Eva also die or possibly went to grandparents in OR where Violet was born? Edward and Helen later lived in either Multnomah or Clackamas co, where Edward eventually died. I would like to get in touch with anyone who knows or is descended from this family. thank you. BTW I am also related to edwards mother so edwards ch would be my distant cousins. thank you again.

OK, Anyone remember the Twomblys, Ben, Dexter, Roy who lived on So. Beaver Creek, inland from Seal Rocks? How about the Fannos who also lived there early one.? When I go back there now it all looks so different. But I remember riding in an old farm wagon to go to Ona for a Sat. night dance.

April 27, 2007 Page 5 TRAVELING BILL POSTERS VANDALIZE CITY A WEST END COMPLAINT - The Vandal Hand of the Tramp Advertiser Revealed It is about time The Dalles had an ordinance to prevent traveling bill posters from tacking their cards everywhere indiscriminately. A gentleman living in West End recently painted his fence, and fixed up nicely about his premises, when along comes a fellow and up goes half a dozen cow brand cards. They were promptly but indignantly removed, the scars from nail heads filled, and all went smoothly until last week when another tramp came along, and gave the fence another dose. This was repeated yesterday by a third irresponsible vandal. It is certainly exasperating, but what can a man do? Petition the common council to license one responsible bill poster for the city who will put up boards in suitable places, and after tearing down and wiping out the disgraceful disorder and unsightly ragged edges of the present tax of systematic work, give the licensed bill-poster authority to pull the very next tramp who enters the city with any kind of placard in the attempt to repeat the obnoxious work. Look at our electric light poles, our awning posts, our very door sill - that bear the trace of such vandal hands, whose only care is to get their name before the public by bumming a place, and you will certainly agree with THE CHRONICLE that it is a cause for aggravation such as our west end resident complains of. If there is no adequate law to fit the case, make one. September 10, 1892. Incoming and Outgoing messages protected by Trend Micro PC-cillin program

150 Years 1887-1901 The Dalles THE DECADES OF HISTORY PART THREE OF THE DALLES CHRONICLE'S TEN-PART SERIES. April 27, 2007 Page 5 MARTHA SNIPES DEAD FROM TYPHOID PNEUMONIA ANOTHER PIONEER GONE - Martha, the beloved wife of George R. Snipes, died yesterday, October 24, 1901, at her home just west of town, of typhoid pneumonia, after an illness of about ten days. The deceased was a native of Kentucky, where she was born February 23, 1835. Her maiden name was Imbier, and with her parents she crossed the plains by ox team arriving in The Dalles in 1853. Mr. Snipes was one of the party, as was the Luce family, which settled subsequently in the John Day country, and on September 18th, shortly after their arrival here the young couple were united in marriage by Rev. H.K. Hines. Theirs was the second marriage celebrated in Oregon, east of the Cascade mountains, that of a Frenchman named De Buchalier and a Miss Tomkins being the first. Fourteen children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Snipes. One son died in infancy, one was drowned in the Columbia river and one was killed in Yakima country by a fall from a horse. Of the eleven surviving children seven are residents of Wasco county. These are Leicester, James, Henry, Charles, Fred, Mary and Mrs. Lily Waterman, of Umatilla county, Mrs. Susie Adams, of Illinois, and Leander and Frank, of Yakima county, Washington. Mrs. Snipes was a member of the M.E. church since 1852. She was one of the very noblest of the sturdy pioneer wives and mother who braved so many hardships and sacrificed so many comforts in the settlement of the Oregon wilderness. No woman ever stood higher in the esteem of those who knew her best for all the womanly virtues that are the ornament and glory of her sex. Among the older settlers of this community her death is regarded in the light of a bitter personal loss. The funeral will take place from the house at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. October 25, 1901.

April 27, 2007 Page 5 EARTHQUAKE SHOCKS FELT AT UMATILLA HOUSE THE EARTH TREMBLED - Three distinct pulsations of earthquake were felt in this city, at a little before three o'clock this morning. The disturbance lasted only a few seconds, and while no damage was done the shocks were sufficiently sharp to wake up from sleep a number of citizens. The shocks were distinctly felt at the Umatilla house by night bar-keeper Wm. Marder and night clerk Tom O'Conner, At the Columbia hotel, bar keeper David King was waked up so that he stepped out on the porch to see what was the matter, but supposing that the disturbance was caused by a passing freight train he returned to bed and thought no more of the matter till morning. Billy Wiseman had just retired and was still awake when he felt himself driven against the head of the bed which stands north and south. J.A. Urquhart, city assessor, who lives on the bluff, felt three distinct shocks, and says there was a lighter one again at 3:30. Geo. Runyan was waked up by the shocks. They were sufficiently vigorous to make the house crack. W.C. Alloway, who resides in the brick building over French & McFarland's store was so alarmed that he got ready to leave the building. George Harris, night clerk in Haight's restaurant reports a general shaking up of crockery and dishes at that place. The shocks were also felt by John Marden Emil Schanno. No damage was done so far as heard of. January 29, 1892. Incoming and Outgoing messages protected by Trend Micro PC-cillin program

April 27, 2007 Page 4 COCAINE FOR LONG OPERATIONS DENTISTRY IN THE DALLES-Partial Description of the Skillful Work of Dr. G.E. Sanders Dr. G.E. Sanders, successor to Dr. Tucker, located over French's bank, is prepared to make artificial teeth upon gold, silver, cast flowed or swaged aluminum or rubber plates, Chase's method of combining gold with rubber, which lessens the expense and gives the good qualities of the gold plate; also continuous gum-work, which is the highest type of artificial teeth. Dr. Sanders has had eight years experience in crown and bridge work in two of the largest cities of Michigan, hence is prepared to employ the best and latest methods of introducing substitutes for the lost teeth. He is also prepared to do porcelain inlaying and all kinds of crown work, and come to The Dalles with sixteen years of experience with anesthetics and has provided himself with one of Dr. Long's celebrated gas apparatuses, for the purpose of administering nitrous oxide, mono oxide gas, chemically known as N2 O, which is sometimes called by other names to mislead and deceive the public. For long and difficult operations he is prepared to give Hays, hypnotic, ether, chloroform or the application of cocaine, if desired by the patient. The above anesthetics are employed according to the condition of the patient and the time required to perform the operation. During an hour with Dr. Sanders we were shown models of mouths operated upon by him, illustrating the correction of irregular teeth, both before and after treatment, which speak well for the methods employed by him in this class of work. In fact, he is prepared to do anything from the extraction of a tooth to the making of an artificial palate, or velum, to the setting of a broken jaw, and retaining the parts by means of dental splints.
