Maybe rather than just do people, we could do History of certain Oregon Interesting places.

Dan this makes sense that the Matneys and the coopers were in the same place. They both married Leabo's didn't they? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dan M" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, July 11, 2005 8:55 AM Subject: Re: [OREGON] Interesting > Maybe rather than just do people, we could do History of certain Oregon > Interesting places. > I was reading an article at the State library about a town called > Matney > and Matney flats, Matney post office etc, I want to learn more about > places > that used to exhist also. > Up the Santiam towards Detroit there used to be some places, like Niagra > and some others, My dad and family worked a sawmill up there in the 1800's > sometime. > I just wonder who all could provide some ( Oregon * stories ? > > I have Matney - Rogers - Cooper - Penrose - Mainly doing Matney, the rest > seem to follow, My Dads first marriage was to Silvia Weesley of Scio, our > family moved around in those days, Brownsville, Kings Valley,well you know > the circuit , people just moved all over the place <G> > Dan Matney > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Elizabeth Freeman" <[email protected]> > To: <[email protected]> > Sent: Monday, July 11, 2005 8:22 AM > Subject: Re: [OREGON] Interesting > > >> Dan: >> >> Well, sleeping would very well describe many of them.

Stella Bellingham Satern recently wrote and published a book 'The Nehalem River Valley' which tracks the history of the valley and its pioneers from 1850 through 2002. Was published by binford & Mort Publishing, Portland, OR. Though most of you are more interested in the Willamette Valley area I thought this new book might be of interest to some of you.
