The 1829 Albany City Directory is now online at: http://www.usgennet.org/alhnorus/ahorlinn/1892albanydir.html I want to personally thank Dick Milligan, who donated this wonderful Linn County piece of history, so that I could get it on the internet for all of you researching your ancestors who were in Linn County.

Greetings, I could use some help getting started with this elusive relative. Has anyone come across any Linn county references to: W. S. Tilton, b. about 1850, probably in MN, died after 1906 and before 1845, probably in Linn or Marion County. W. S. Tilton is the son of Julia Roberts (my gr-gr-grandmother) and George W. Tilton. George W. Tilton died in 1857, and Julia Roberts Tilton married second Fairfax Smith Thayer, my gr-gr-grandfather. The Thayers were early settlers in the Scio area. W. S. Tilton would have been half brother to my gr-grandfather, Frank Tilton Thayer. He is named in probate records regarding the estate of Frank Tilton Thayer's sister, Mamie Thayer Grisham. Possible clues: W. S. Tilton married Amy Longsworth in Marion County in 1885. I would very much like to contact descendants of W. S. Tilton. Any help appreciated -- I need a jump start here! Regards, Lisa L. Jones mailto:[email protected]

Hi, I'm pleased to announce I've just uploaded the 1892 Taxpayers Lists for Linn County. These lists of tax payers were taken from the "Albany City Directory for 1892," compiled and published by William G. Obenauer, Albany, Oregon, 1892. I hope these lists are useful for your research, replacing the 1890 census which was lost. The tax payer lists came from the following 21 precincts: Albany Brownsville Brush Creek Center Crawfordsville Fox Valley Franklin Butte Halsey Harrisburg Lebanon Liberty Orleans Peoria Rock Creek Santiam Scio Shedd Sweet Home Syracuse Tangent Waterloo http://www.usgennet.org/alhnorus/ahorlinn/1892taxpayers.html Jan Phillips [email protected] Linn County Coordinator for the USGenWeb Project American Local History Network - Linn County, OR

Ooops! It missed the last paragraph - A brief funeral service was conducted at the grave by Elder George W. Simons of the Christian church and the loved form was laid to rest and the mound covered with beautiful flowers, the tribute of love from the many friends who mourn her loss and sympathize with husband and little ones whom she left to grieve.

I don't find the Rudolph's listed in the 1910 Linn County census, but I did find these: Mrs. Joseph Rudolph died at the home of her son-in-law, C. H. Cummings, near Berlin, Friday morning, at the age of 63 years. She was stricken some time ago with paralysis and has been gradually sinking away since. Her home was at Salem where the body was taken for burial. [May 16, 1913 Lebanon Criterion newpaper ]. Mrs. Charles C. McPherson. Frances Rudolph was born at Albany, Oregon, November 22, 1890, and died at Berlin, Oregon, Saturday morning, April 14, 1917, aged 26 years, 4 months and 23 days. During her childhood the family home was for a time in this vicinity, so numbering many of our people among almost lifelong friends. She was married June 7, 1912, to Charles C. McPherson, of Berlin, and her home has been there since that time. To this union was born four children, one dying shortly after birth, only seven days before the death of its mother. The three living children are Loretta Elizabeth, William and Joseph. Mrs. McPherson's mother died while on a visit to this place about four years ago and her father, Joseph Rudolph, has spent much of the time since at the home of his daughter here. Her sister, Miss Bertha Rudolph, was with her during much of her last illness and in her capacity as trained nurse and her loving kindly care did much to lessen her sufferings and comfort her during the few days preceeding the end which all realized must come.

A number of folks who have seen my webpages on the 1852 and 1853 Iowa to Oregon wagon trains have asked for advice on how to research their overland ancestors. To that end, I've just put up a new page on my website that gives some of that advice. I hope you find it useful. Sandy Wilbur http://pweb.netcom.com/~symbios/overland.html

Hi all, I've just started a new project on the Linn County website: The Linn County Migrations Project. The purpose of the project is to show migration patterns of people moving *into* and *out of* Linn County. Where did your Linn County ancestors come from? When did they leave and where did they go? If you would like to participate, visit http://roots.8j.net/forms/linnmigrations.html Please note there is no real information yet, so I need your help to get this project off to a good start! The more of you who help, the better we'll begin to see the migration patterns develop. Thanks, Jan Phillips [email protected] Linn County, USGenWeb Linn County, American Local History Network

Some of you who have visited my "McCully Train" site, covering those people who were on an 1852 wagon train from Iowa to the Willamette Valley, may find some interesting names on the webpage I put up today. It covers a trip in 1853 from Henry County, Iowa to Oregon. If you know any of the participants, or have clues as to who they might be, I'd appreciate hearing from you.
