Hood River was a precinct in Wasco County until Hood River County was established in 1904. In the 1880 census images, Hood River was in Enumeration District 122 on pages 13-20. There was no Berry surname in the Hood River precinct in 1880. Do you have any other information that might suggest some place else? Wasco county's major city then was "The Dalles".

History of the Columbia River Valley: From The Dalles to the Sea, Volume III, The S. J. Clarke Publishing Company, 1928. W. L. Adams, M.D. Casting in his lot with the pioneer settlers of the Hood River valley, Dr. W.L. Adams not only achieved success and prominence in his profession but also figured conspicuously in other walks of life and was long a leader of public thought and action in Oregon. Wit and learning were blended in his attributes. He saw clearly, revolved in deep thought that which he saw, and spoke his conclusions without fear or hesitancy. His nature was one to which only that which is uplifting made appeal and his cooperation was always given to those projects which promote intellectual, social and moral progress. The following account of his brilliant career was written by Fred Lockley and published in the Oregon Daily Journal of December 3, 1926: "Dr. Adams was born in Painesville, Ohio, February 5, 1821. He was a graduate of Bethany College in Virginia and was a convert of Alexander Campbell. In 1848 he crossed the plains to Oregon and during the late '40s and early '50s he taught school in Yamhill county, later becoming a probate judge. He purchased the Oregon Spectator at Oregon City in 1858; that is, he purchased its physical aspects, including the press, type, etc., and founded the Argus. This paper was one of the dominating influences in the political life of Oregon and was largely instrumental in the formation of the republican party in this state. "Dr. Adams was one of the most versatile men who ever came to Oregon. He was a Greek and Hebrew student of unusual ability and an editor who wielded a trenchant and vigorous pen. As a minister he was known far and wide for his eloquence and in later years he practiced medicine and conducted a sanitarium. In old libraries you will occasionally run across a booklet entitled 'Breakspeare', whichconsists of thirty-two double column pages, illustrated with crude woodcuts. It is a melodrama in five acts. Dr. Adams, the author, satirizes Judge Pratt, Judge Deady, A.L. Lovejoy, William King, J. Quinn Thornton, Asabel Bush and also Avery, Waymire, Parker, Wilson, Waterman and Backenstos. Though he made his victims writhe, this melodrama was read with great appreciation by the public. Dr. Adams was also the author of 'The History of Medicine and Surgery From the Earliest Times' which was published in Portland in 1888 and which is a very ably written book. His daughter showed me a dozen or more diplomas which he had received from various medical colleges and other institutions. Later we looked over the old family Bible together, and I read there, in the handwriting of Dr. Adams, the history of the Adams family. Mrs. Mortimer also showed me her father's commissions as collector of customs, signed by his personal friend, Abraham Lincoln. To look over Dr. Adams' old scrapbooks and old correspondence is like seeing the great figures of Oregon's past march in procession before one. "What a history of Oregon, Dr. Adams could have written if he had cared to do so. What a history of Oregon journalism he could have written, for he knew all of the early-day editors and writers intimately. W.D. Craig, one of Oregon's ablest writers and for many years owner and editor of the Salem Statesman, was a former partner of Dr. Adams. I picked up one of Dr. Adams' old account books and opening the pages idly, I ran across the following letter, which gives an interesting sidelight on Oregon journalism of sixty years ago. The letter is from D. W. Craig and is dated at Salem, Wednesday morning, November 4, 1863. It is addressed to Dr. Adams and reads as follows: "I take a little time to drop you a line this morning, thinking the stage has not yet arrived. Dr. Warren is getting somewhat better, though he is still very low. His spirits are much better. Gale has not returned yet and, from what I hear, will not be back for two or three days. His absence and that of Ed, who was sick and went home, left me with none but George to issue the paper. Hiring help was too extensive for me, so I concluded to issue a supplement merely, containing the remainder of the laws, and am now about closing up work in the Argus office. Last week I spent a good deal of time on the Statesman. Its appearance, I think, is altered a little for the better, and more change will be apparent as time passes. We were very much hurried last week. Of the character of the new journal you can judge for yourself on reading it. The present arrangement is only temporary. What course will be premanently adopted I can't just now tell. The original corporators are Huntington, Ben Simpson, Mallory, Terry, Crandall and Craig. Since then stock has been subscribed as follows, the capital stock being ten thousand dollars, shares five hundred dollars each: Judge Williams one share; Terry one share; J.B. Condon, the Indian agent, one share, Wlijah Williams one share; Huntington two shares; Waite two shares; Mallory one share; Craig three shares; Gale three shares, and one more, which I think was taken by Huntington or Simpson. You can form some idea of how the thing will be conducted, from the above. I think the paper will run measurably on the right track, though it may not take as high grounds as the Argus did. My hopes now are that it will eventually work into the right hands, which will bring it up to the proper standard. But I must close. Soon I will write you again in relation to the matter. We will be down next summer. Yours truly, D.W. Craig.' "In Galesburg, Knox county, Illinois, Dr. Adams was married August 25, 1844, to Miss Frances Olivia Goodell. She was a daughter of Able Goodell and was born in Harmony, Somerset county, Maine, October 5, 1821. Their first child, Inez Eugenia Adams, was born in Mons Felicitatis, Henderson county, Illinois, October 15, 1845. Helen Elizabeth was born at Galesburg, January 5, 1848. William Harmon was born in Yamhill county, Oregon, March 12, 1851, and on October 13, 1875, was married in Portland to Olive S. Pagett. Julia Frances Adams was born in Yamhill county August 16, 1853. Gaines Melancthon was born June 26, 1856, at Oregon City. Arthur Craig was born October 24, 1859, in Yamhill county and his twin sister was named Annie Cecelia. Claribelle M., the youngest in a family of eight children, was born May 30, 1862, in Astoria, Oregon. After the death of his first wife, Dr. Adams married Miss Mary Susan Mosier, a daughter of Jonah Mosier, in whose honor the town of Mosier, Oregon, was named. The daughter was born January 22, 1855, at The Dalles and was married October 22, 1881, at Walla Walla, Washinton, the ceremony being performed by Judge J.D. Laymon. On April 26, 1906, Dr. Adams was called to his final rest and his second wife, passed away December 11, 1922. They were parents of two children: Percival Lysander, who was born May 26, 188e, and was graduated from the Oregon Agricultural College and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology; and Lenore Evelyn." The daughter was born April 12, 1891, and attended the public schools of Hood River, continuing her studies in Portland Academy. She was married August 12, 1916, to Edwin Banks Mortimer, a son of Charles and Doletha (Banks) Mortimer, natives respectively of Wisconsin and of Pennsylvania. The death of Charles Mortimer occurred in 1892 and his widow now lives in Austin, Texas. They had two children, the elder of whom is Mrs. Lulu Carter and resides in Richmond, Virginia. Edwin Banks Mortimer was born November 18, 1890, in Wisconsin and completed his high school education in Minnesota. In 1910 he came to Oregon and spent a few years on the farm of his grandparents near Hood River. After his marriage he went to Montana and was engaged in the automobile business at Butte for a year. At the end of that time he returned to Oregon and enlisted at Portland in 1917. He joined the aviation corps and was stationed in Texas, there remaining until the close of the war, when he was honorably discharged. In 1918 he returned to Portland, resuming his activities as a dealer in automobiles, and was thus engaged for about two years. Since 1920 he has maintained an insurance office in Hood River, representing a number of old and reliable firms, and has established a large business, which is systematically and efficiently conducted. Mrs. Mortimer is capably managing the old Adams ranch, appropriately named Paradise Farm. The land is highly improved and a large portion of the estate is devoted to the production of fine fruit. For many years the residence on this property was one of the show places of the Hood River valley. The mansion contains more than twenty rooms and is surrounded by many acres of ground, beautifully landscaped. Mr. and Mrs. Mortimer are the parents of a son, Billy Adams, who was born May 4, 1917, and is a public school pupil. Mr. Mortimer belongs to Hood River Lodge, of the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks, and is a past commander of Hood River Post, No. 22, of the American Legion. Mr. and Mrs. Mortimer manifest a keen interest in community affairs and possess those qualities which inspire strong and enduring regard. coach_adams@yahoo.com wrote: > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Surnames: Weathers, Poe, Adams > Classification: Query > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/nZB.2ACE/155 > > Message Board Post: > > I just received new information on Ottie and Floyd Weathers family.

Hi list, does anyone recognize the family name McKereghan who would have relocated to the Hood River, OR area around 1937? My grandfather, Jack Stanley McKerghan was born 2/28/1918 in Vancouver, BC. His original SS application lists his parents as Albert Edward McKereghan and Evelyn Martha Herks. It also lists the Apple Growers Assn. in Hood River as his employer. Anyone with any information regarding the family, Hood River, or the Applegrowers Assn. please e-mail me directly. thanks in advance for your assistance! Regards, Susan

Susan, As there may be others interested in this surname and the information you're requesting, I would ask that replies be made to the list, as well as directly to you. That helps fulfill the purpose of the list, which is to share information. You might also want to post your query on the Hood River board at http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=board&r=rw&p=localities.northam.usa.states.oregon.counties.hoodriver&maxrows=25&dir=next . Messages posted there also appear on this mailing list, and some people read the boards that aren't subscribed here, thus giving you a wider audience. While I don't recognize either of the surnames you mention, the Apple Growers Association (AGA) has a long history in Hood River and was the predecessor of the current Diamond Fruit Growers, Inc., both cooperatives for selling fruit. You might write them for information at P.O. Box 185, Odell, Oregon 97044 or give them a call at (541) 354-5300.

If you are interested in learning when a death notice or obituary appears in one of the Columbia Gorge newspapers go to the website: http://www.gorgenews.com Click on Death Notices in the upper right column and it shows a monthly listing of names provided by funeral homes chronologically. It lists the Funeral Home submitting the notice. There is a link for notices from October 1999 to November 2001. Notices prior to October 1999 are stored on microfilm at The Dalles-Wasco County Library. I hope this information will help someone. Obituaries are not always submitted by family of the deceased.

Diana, It looks like Kelly died in the Portland area. She is listed in the Oregon Death Index as follows: Name: Barney, Kelly J County: Multnomah Death Date: 31 Aug 1995 Certificate: 95-19562 Birth Date: 14 Nov 1960 If this is the Kelly, daughter of William Barney, I will be doing lookups in a couple of weeks, and can look for her obit, unless you live in the Portland area, and then you can look for it at the Central Library.

Beth, I have checked the Oregon Archives and that is how I found out about the Ruth Hall and Lester Andrews marriage. I have also checked some neighboring counties in Washington, but have had no luck so far finding a marriage for a Ruth HALL, who was born in 1901 in Multnomah County. Thanks for the tips nevertheless. shaunta ORHOODRI-D-request@rootsweb.com wrote: > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Shaunta, > > Thanks for clearing that up for me. > > Have you checked out the Oregon Archives searchable data base at > http://159.121.115.13/databases/searchgeneal.html ?
