Greetings Everyone I would be willing to do lookups for anyone on the state of Oregon for towns, rail stops, stage stops, post offices, ferry landings and schools. The list I have compiled that has over 6000 of these listed. The list, however, is not complete yet. Some places may not be listed yet. If you need a lookup done please be as specific as possible on the name and include the county if you know it. I will answer these as fast as I can. If you have any Information that can be added I would be happy to add it to the list. I hope in the future to use this list to create a web page so it will be at every ones disposal.

Hood River Glacier, Feb. 21, 1891- DIED: At Victoria B. C. Thursday Feb. 19, Marian, wife of Dr. G. F. NEWCOMB, aged about 30 years. Dr. and Mrs. NEWCOMB resided here a number of years and the entire community is their friend. The bereaved husband and motherless little ones have the tenderest sympathies of this neighborhood in their sad affliction. Mrs. NEWCOMBE was a cousin of Mr. George MATHIAS of this place, who left Friday to attend the funeral. (From the Dalles Chronicle, out of the Hood River Glacier, same date as above) License to wed was issued to R. PRATHER and Mrs. M. J. HUSKEY, both of Hood River. A few days ago Mrs. HUSKEY's son was married to Mr. PRATHER's daughter. This is entirely a family affair, and by a happy stroke of policy prevents a multiplicity of mother-in-law. Hood River Glacier, Mar. 14, 1891- BORN: In Hood River Valley March 6th, to Mr. and Mrs. R. E. HARBISON, a daughter. Hood River Glacier, Apr. 11, 1891- MARRIED: At the home of M. J.

HOOD RIVER-extracted from Hood River Glacier, June 8, 1889 The first settlement at this place was made by _____ MCLAUGHLIN in 1852. The following winter being a very severe one and Mr. MCLAUGHLIN losing all his cattle, he moved to The Dalles. The next settler was Nathaniel COE and wife Mary W. and four children, all boys of whom the eldest L. W. was one of the founders of the O. S. N. Co., having built with Mr. THOMPSON the "Umatilla" which went over the Cascade rapids by accident; Charles who died in 1872; E. F. who is at present living here with his brother, the youngest of the family, Captain H. C. COE. With the Coe family came William JENKINS who was drowned in the Columbia at the mouth of Hood river, together with his son and James LAUGHLIN in 1865, and James BENSON (now of The Dalles) and wife, and A. C. PHELPS, also of The Dalles settled here. During early days when the trail along the river was about the only route from Portland to Walla Walla, it was a welcome stopping place. The COE donation land claim on which the town is built is one of the oldest this side of the mountains. Just now the town is becoming justly famous as a summer resort. The heat is pleasantly moderated by the cool breezes which sweep up the Columbia from the ocean, and the surrounding mountains with the big peaks of Hood and Adams crowned with everlasting snows. The building of a commodious hotel near the Mt. Hood glaciers which is now progressing rapidly will furnish the only thing needed to make the Hood river country a paradise for tourists and sportsmen--good accommodations. The scenery cannot be equaled in the northwest, and in accessibility the Hood river glaciers discount all others. Three hours ride by rail from Portland to Hood River, and from four to five hours staging over a magnificent mountain road bring the traveler from the heat of the city to the region of perpetual snow. The trip is a delightful one, the ride up the Columbia being through its magnificent canyon whose basaltic cliffs tower thousands of feet above the river, with beetling crag, and terraced bluffs; with gloomy gorge and laughing water fall; with the graceful spire of Rooster rock and the magnificent dome of Castle rock, the tiny drippings of thread-like streams down the dizzy heights, and the magnificent rush of the grand Columbia at the Cascades--with these and hundreds of other of the master pieces of nature's handiwork swiftly gliding by the car windows a living panorama, the trip is one never to be forgotten. The time occupied is less than it takes to get to the seaside, and surely the mountains are incomparably preferable to the monotonous beach. Messrs. LADD & WOOD are performing a labor of love in making known the beauties of Mt. Hood, and will receive the gratitude of those who come, and see, and realize the lavish magnificence of nature in this favored region. submitted by Kathy Evinger
The Dalles Chronicle The Dalles, Oregon November 16, 1952 POLICE CAR HIT; TWO ARE INJURED Two persons were injured early Saturday in a rear-end collision involving the Dalles City Police departments new prowl car on the Columbia River highway opposite State Police headquarters. Under treatment in The Dalles hospital for head injuries received as a result of the collision is Police Sgt. Keith Palmer. The passenger in the other car involved in the accident, Willard Fisher of Hood River, was treated for head and other injuries. At liberty on $100 bail is Larry Lee Lyons of Hood River, He is charged with operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of intoxicating liquor. The police report by Palmer and Patrolman Fred Kaufman gave the following account to the accident: The police car was parked on the north shoulder of the highway with Kaufman behind the wheel and Sgt. Palmer beside him about 1:45 a.m. Saturday. They had stopped to question a 16-year-old boy, who had been allowed to proceed. The westbound car driven by Lyons struck the police car, shoving it ahead a distance of 65 feet and off the road down a 10-foot bank. Both police officers rode the car down the rocky bank to the bottom, Kaufman holding on to the wheel and Palmer unable to keep from bouncing in the plunging vehicle. Ironically, the accident took place across the road from state police headquarters and several state officers appeared as witnesses when Lyons was arrested by the bruised city policemen. Saturdays accident marked the second time in two years that a new patrol car has been damaged in an accident. Last years new car was damaged when its driver took to the ditch on the Columbia River highway in order to avoid a collision.

Hi Stacey, I just ran across this down at the museum while I was looking for something else, so I thought I'd transcribe it and ask you to add it to the Hood River County rootsweb page if you would. I'll also post it to the Hood River County mailing list. HOOD RIVER GLACIER (Extract), Thursday, January 7, 1904 Our Population---1406....submitted by Kathy Evinger April 4, 2000 The Glacier man has made his annual round up of the number of inhabitants of Hood River and finds that the year 1904 begins with our population grown to 1406. This is the fifth census taken by the Glacier. Commencing with January 1, 1900, we had 622; 1901, 751; 1902, 861; 1903, 1091. The city has been carefully canvassed, and every house where the occupants were not known has been visited. The gain of 315 over last year shows a healthy increase, though some people may be disappointed, thinking the gain should be greater. Our population has been estimated as high as 2,000. If people did not move from the town, with the newcomers constantly arriving we would soon have the 2,000 or more. Compare the directory given below with the one published a year ago, and it will be found that a good many families you know have moved away. Some have gone to the country, while others have left the valley entirely. The country is gaining in population faster than the town. This is to be expected. Our valley is known for its excellent fruit, for which the (unreadable part of sentence) in the markets of the world. Newcomers arriving come here to buy fruit land and to engage in fruit culture. There is no inducement for the average newcomer to locate in the town, however much it may be admired as a place of residence, if there are no means for earning a livelihood. In the summer season, at least during the strawberry harvest, our population is augmented by a floating body of people who are here today and gone tomorrow. The real population is here to stay winter and summer, therefore January 1 is a good time to make the count. The object of the census taker each time has been to get the exact number of our inhabitants. He counted none but bona fide residents, January 1, and was very careful not to miss anyone who should be counted.

The Dalles Daily Chronicle The Dalles, Oregon January 8, 1942 10 MEN SIGN UP FOR NAVY SERVICE, IN CEREMONY HERE Several Hundred Local Residents Present at Civic Auditorium With Lieutenant Commander Middleton of Portland delivering the oath, 10 young men from the Mid-Columbia area were sworn into the United States navy here yesterday morning in a solemn ceremony staged at the civic auditorium before an audience of several hundred persons. Time of the unique event coincided with similar mass inductions held throughout the entire United States and occurred exactly six months to the minute after the Japanese first attacked Pearl Harbor 11:25 a.m. Pacific war time. Raising their right hands and repeating the oath after the lieutenant-commander, the 10 enlistees swore to bear true faith and allegiance to the United States of America and to serve their country faithfully against all enemies, whomsoever they may be. Congratulations followed after which Middleton said: You are entering what probably is the most important phase of your lives. Parents can take comfort in the fact, he added, that your sons are to be associated with the best of young American manhood. The navy officer also cited the specialized training schools offered by the navy to all enlistees and declared that the young men being sworn in today are faced with opportunities for advancement in special fields, the like of which never have been equaled. Local Officer Speaks Congratulations also were extended by M. A. Tague, local recruiting officer, who assured all those in attendance that by September, 1942, he will have been with the navy 30 years and that I have never regretted a day of it. Prior to the administration of the oath, the Rev. Eugene R. Pickthorn, representing The Dalles Ministerial association, had made a brief address in which he asked his audience not to forget the spiritual and intellectual side of life which must be preserved after this war is over. The 10 enlistees were seated to the right of the auditorium stage while on the left were the Rev. Pickthorn, Recruitting Officer Tague and Lieutenant-Commander Middleton. At the rear sat uniformed representatives of the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars and their auxiliaries, as well as four members of the Oregon Womens Ambulance corps, Dalles unit. The color guard was composed of members of Company I, Oregon State guard, while The Dalles City band, under the direction of F. Clyde Simpson, provided appropriate music for the affair. Those who were sworn in yesterday included the following: Chester G. Bansch and Vincent B. Martin, The Dalles; J. E. Van Beveren, Robert C. Croan, Scott Fortner, Robert V. Flint, Donald C. Frisbie and John Charles Hanna, all from Hood River (OR.); Ellis Monroe Bourland, Dufur (OR.), and Carroll C. Brewer, Arlington (OR).

YOUNG HARRIMAN AND WIFE SEE VALLEY-Thursday, Dec. 9, 1915, Hood River Glacier W. Averill HARRIMAN, son of the late E. H. HARRIMAN and a member of the board of directors of the HARRIMAN railway system, accompanied by his bride, G. W. SAUL and U. K. HALL, respectively general purchasing agent and general storekeeper of the O. W. R. & N. Co., arrived here, from Pendleton in his private car Wednesday afternoon of last week. The young railway man, who with his bride has been spending his honeymoon on a tour of the lines of the HARRIMAN system, was met at the station by J. H. FREDRICY, Leslie BUTLER and E. O. BLANCHAR. The visitors were taken in the big Chalmers of the Fashion Stables on a tour of the orchards. They were also piloted by Mr. FREDRICY through the cold storage houses, and Mr. HARRIMAN expressed surprise at the magnitude of the apple industry. Mrs. C. A. BELL presented Mrs. HARRIMAN with a beautiful bouquet of large rose buds picked from Hood River gardens. Before the bride and bridegroom departed on one of the eastbound evening trains for their ranch in Idaho, they were visited in their private car by Mr. BUTLER and the Misses CARLISLE, POOLE, KOPAN and VANNET.
The following is through the courtesy of the descendants of Louis Anderson and Carrie Jacobsen (Jakobsen) and The Fort Dalles/Anderson House Museum in The Dalles, Oregon. It is rather long but I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did. MY GRANDPAS WONDROUS FARM by Helen Saunders Among my fondest childhood memories is my Grandpas farm. We lived in a district ten to fifteen miles southeast of The Dalles, Oregon, called Pleasant Ridge. Our place was a mile from the schoolhouse, and Grandpa lived about a mile and a quarter beyond, up on a hill. We entered his place by driving up a long lane between two rows of large locust trees. The shade seemed like heaven on a hot dusty summer day, especially when the trees were in bloom and filled the air with that lovely, pungent, sweet odor. Grandpa had the largest house and best facilities in the area, so that many neighborhood social functions took place there. There was intrigue and mystery about his place, as there were quite a few no-nos where we children were not allowed by ourselves, anyway. There was a rather imposing log house with a big kitchen, and a pantry which always held a supply of fresh sour-cream cookies where we kids were always welcome. (I have tried all my married life to duplicate that recipe, but I know I will never quite get it.) There was a wonderful chiming clock, with carvings and filigree, on a shelf in the kitchen and a large, square-shaped table with straight high-backed chairs which had fancy engravings across the top. There was a wood burning range with a hot-water tank along the side of the fire box, and a big wood bin beside the stove. The floor was bare scrubbed boards with rag throw-rugs. Grandma and Grandpa slept in a small room behind the stove which could be entered from either the kitchen or the living room. The living room had wall to wall carpet, padded with straw, and made of woven rags, which I am sure my Grandma made as she had all the makings for such things in a little room under the stairwell, where we children were only allowed a quick peek. The ceiling of the living room was covered with some kind of material which was kept white-washed. In there was a platform rocker and a sort of chaise lounge covered with velvet. There was a flat-bellied wood heater and a square table on which stood a kerosene lamp. A lower shelf on the table held a magical stereoscope with a number of wonderful pictures which could carry you to far-away places. Off the living room there was a small covered porch, which was seldom used, but every summer there would be a birds nest on top of one of the posts. On the opposite side of the living room was a guest room which was even smaller than the other bedroom. There was just enough room in there for a double bed which had high carved boards at both the head and foot. It was covered with a hand-crocheted spread with long fringe all around, and there was a tiny square table in the corner by the window. All the windows had crisp white lace curtains, and the walls were covered with pretty paper. Behind the entrance door to the kitchen, where we always came in, was a stairway to the upper floor where there were two very large bedrooms. One was where my mother and her sister slept, and the other was for my two uncles. Besides these rooms, there was a large open area which was nearly empty except for a very fascinating old sewing machine which made a chain stitch. On the wall of the stairway hung two scary-looking guns, which we were warned never to touch, so because of them and (I presume) the open stairwell, we children were not allowed up the stairs. Under the stair was the little room I mentioned before, where Grandma kept all her torn rags and bright colored yarn. She used much of the yarn to make stocking caps, scarves and mittens which we always received on the Christmas tree. In there was also another sewing machine and a rug-loom, along with the scraps of material for making quilts, aprons, etc. Instead of a back porch there was a long, narrow room where Grandma washed the clothes and the men would wash before coming in to eat. In the center of the room was a shallow well which Grandpa had fixed so that it would fill automatically with drainage water from the roof. Grandma kept her butter, and things she wanted to keep cool, in buckets which she dropped down near the water with the ropes. The log barn was huge, with a big hayloft. In what we would call a daylight basement were the stalls and mangers for the livestock, two of which were Jude and Jenny, the only mules I have ever been acquainted with. We children were not allowed to play out there. I suppose it was because Grandpa was afraid we would fall through the holes where the hay was dropped down to the mangers. There were numerous other buildings, such as a woodshed, a tool shed, a root cellar, a granary and, of course, a two-seater privy as Grandma used to call it. But one of the most intriguing was the blacksmith shop where Grandpa used to do wonderful things for himself and for the neighbors. Sometimes he would let me pump the bellows, which was a big thrill. I liked to watch the sparks, and see the iron he was working get really re-hot and then turn almost white. It was fascinating to watch him pound it into the shape of a horseshoe or whatever. The most wonderful building of all, though, was the ice house. He built this little house out by the pond which he had made by damming a gully that ran down behind the barn; it was up the hill from the barn, so the barnyard did not drain into it. He filled the little ice-house with sawdust, and in the winter he and the men folk would cut large squares of ice from the pond and would bury them in the sawdust. This way the ice would keep all summer, and when we would have a big neighborhood picnic we could always look forward to having delectable home-made ice cream, which I am sure every child that lived in that vicinity at that time can still remember as fondly as I do.

Fort Dalles Museum is the original dwelling of the Surgeons Quarters of Fort Dalles. Fort Dalles is celebrating their 150th Anniversary of the founding, May 20, 2000, of (Camp Drum) renamed Fort Dalles. For more information contact: 541-296-4547.
