Hello, all! Earlier this evening three messages from Earline Wasser were sent to the list but have not shown up in my mailbox. I'm curious whether other Hood River list members have received those messages or whether I'm the Lone Ranger here. If you'd take a minute to let me know whether or not you have received the messages, I'd appreciate it very much. As this isn't really genealogy, let's keep it off list so this little survey doesn't end up in the archives. Please email your answer to mailto:bjohnsto@oregonvos.net. Many thanks, Beth Johnston Hood River List Admin

If the American Little League All-Stars don't win the area Little League All-Star playoffs it won't be young Jim Bailey's fault. In the second game of the playoff at 16th Street Ball Park Friday night he scattered eight hits while striking out 22 batters in a nine inning 4-3 win over the Willow Creek (Oregon) All Stars. And only four of the whiffs were called by the umpire. 60 Years Ago, July 21, 1942 With a view to meeting expanded needs in this area and, at the same time, providing added facilities for any prospective industries which might locate here, two new petroleum tanks holding 1,300,000 gallons of gasoline soon will be erected west of The Dalles, Captain A.

Would anyone on the list have access to Wills and can look up for me please to see if William Bryer NATION left a Will. He died on 28 December 1889/90 at Hood River, Oregon? I doubt there would be a Will for his wife, Mary Ann, who died 2 July 1875. There might also be a Will for Charles E NATION who died at Hood River, May 1908. Any help, however small would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks. Rosemary Nation (Essex, UK) rose@nation7.freeserve.co.uk

I have just received a wonderful obituary on William Bryer NATION who died at Hood River 28 December 1889/90. It states William was staying with his son-in-law S.F. BLYTHE and that William moved to Oregon in 1871. So I am just beginning my research in the Hood River area. Does anyone have access therefore to the 1880 census for Hood River who could look up this family, either under NATION or BLYTHE. Not sure what the S.F. stands for with Blythe. William and Mary Ann NATION only had 2 living daughters, Harriet and Emma so one of these must have married Mr Blythe and I think it is more likely to be Emma. As I say I have an obituary for William but I wonder if anyone could look up an OBITUARY for Mary Ann NATION who died on 2 July 1875. Also Charles E NATION died at Hood River May 1908. He was a son of William of Mary Ann, so I guess he was staying with his sister, Mrs Blythe, at that time. Again, I wonder if there might be an OBITUARY for him in Hood River records. Many thanks for any information. Rosemary Nation (Essex, UK) rose@nation7.freeserve.co.uk

Rosemary, I did a little searching and found that Hood River wasn't a county until 1906. Until then, Hood River Precinct was in Wasco County. I started in 1900, and worked back, since I found the 1900 Blythe listing rather easily. ____________________________________________________ 1900, Hood River Town in Township 3, Wasco County, Oregon ED 147, Sheet No. 3, lines 27-30, Oak Street, dwelling visitation no. 47, family visitation no. 51.

I copied them just as they were. Also, I was unable to find any listing for a NATION surname in either years for Hood River town. I have saved both census pages to my files and would be happy to send them as jpeg attachments, if you would like them.

I was just contacted by genlocator.com offering a 3 day free trial. It rang a bell in my memory. So I went through some of my paperwork for future Columbia Gorge Genealogical Society newsletters. In the WVGS Newsletter, July 2002 they have an article regarding this. I will print it in the January issue of Tales and Trails but for now I'll retype it here. "Some of you may already know about these "alleged" scams but just in case you don't - please be careful of the following: FamilyDiscovery.com genlocator.com offers 2 years access for $40.00 and give you a list of 'FREE' stuff on the net genealogy-developments.com seems to be inactive right now genseekers.com genealogy-express.com To check for yourself on "offers" you receive just type the name Google (search engine) and see what come up.

The Dalles Chronicle June 30, 2002 20 Years Ago, June 29, 1982 A tent city of some 2,000 followers of the Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh are already in place for the five-day summer festival which opens Saturday. More followers of the Bhagwan are arriving from around the world aboard chartered airliners which land in Portland where the passengers transfer to chartered buses for the trip to the ranch, nearly 200 miles by road. Jeff Lahti, a 1975 graduate of Hood River Valley High School, has been called up to the major leagues by the St. Louis Cardinals. Lahti, a right-handed relief pitcher, has been in the Cincinnati system since being drafted, but was traded during the winter. He made his first major league appearance last week. Most valuable player Pete Wallace led Turner's (furniture store?) through the losers bracket to a first place finish in the Shakey's (pizza restaurant) Invitational softball tournament this past weekend. Named to the all tournament team from Turner's were Keith Livesay and Gary Hill, while Randy Twidwell picked up the Golden Glove award. 40 Years Ago, June 30, 1962 Al Remlinger of Hood River (Oregon) and Ruth Odell of The Dalles paired up to card a two-over-par 145 and win the Cherry Time Golf Festival at the Hood River Country Club last weekend. Saturday the winning couple carded a 69, then came Sunday with a 76. Mr. and Mrs. Loyal Kirk of The Dalles carded the second low net. 60 Years Ago, June 30, 1962 Following hard on the heels of President Roosevelt's announcement that the national drive for scrap rubber will be continued for an additional 10 days, Ole Larson, general chairman of the Wasco County campaign, reported this morning that all company operated service stations in this area will be closed between the hours of 12 and 6 p.m. All independent stations are also being requested by the Mid-Columbia oil companies to close their doors during the same hours and thus allow their employees to devote the time to scouring the respective areas for more rubber. Announcement that rationing stamps Nos. 5 and 6 each are good for two pounds of sugar was received by the local rationing board from the Office of Price Administration. Stamp No. 5 is valid from June 28 to July 25. Stamp No. 6 is valid from July 26 to August 22. The change in regulations does not increase the amount of sugar allotted to each consumer but has been put into effect to do away with the use of so many stamps, it was pointed out by Mrs. Helen Knight, office manager for the Wasco County board. 80 Years Ago, June 30, 1922 The city water department has found it necessary to restrict the present unlimited use of water in order to avert a shortage later in the summer, it was announced today. John Chambers, of the water office, is busy today sending out cards announcing regulations that will go into effect today at noon. Houses with even numbers will irrigate on even days of the month from 6 to 8 in the morning and from 6 to 9 in the evening. Houses with odd numbers will irrigate on odd days at the same hours. 100 Years Ago, June 30, 1902 Had it not been that Frank Clark happened to be in the vicinity of the cannery of First street yesterday, we would no doubt had a conflageration of no small dimensions. Evidently, a spark from a passing engine had ignited the dry grass near the cannery and the fire was creeping up in the direction of the building when Mr. Clark noticed it. He summoned George Brown, who soon got a stream of water on it and extinguished it. Tonight the present council will hold its last meeting for the year unless a special meeting be called for sewer or other business. The meeting tonight will be for the purpose of granting liquor licenses. Next Monday, F.S. Grunning will take his place as mayor.

Surnames: Anders, Webber, Samson, Linell Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/nZB.2ACE/173 Message Board Post: Seeking info on Mrs. Eva Anders, last known to be living at age about age 62 in Cascade Locks, Hood River County, Oregon in April 1915. She was born circa 1853, probably in Licking County, Ohio, the daughter of a Samantha Webber (maiden name) who is believed to have been married briefly to a William Henry Samson. Thus William is also believed to have been Eva's father. Samantha and William divorced around 1858 in Wisconsin. Eva was living with Samantha and her maternal grandmother in Wisconson at the time of the 1860 census but isn't found with Samantha in subsequent censuses (Samantha subsequently remarried twice, never acknowledging her first marriage to William Samson). Samantha died April 22, 1915 in Black River Falls, Wisconsin. Eva is known to have had one (step-) sister, Mrs. Kitty Linnell of Pleasant View, Wisconsin.
