Our ancestor John NATION was Superintendant at Willamette Iron Works, Portland, Oregon, in the 1867 Trade Directory. Would Willamette Iron Works still be trading and how can I find out about John's work there? Is there a Museum in Portland that holds archives? Any help appreciated. Many thanks.

Rosemary, Portland is in Multnomah County, rather than Hood River County. You might have better response by posing your query on that mailing list, although I'm sure if anyone reading this list has information they will respond.
