Hello, I thank you for the timely reply. I have obtained a copy of your referenced Scotts Mills History 1846-1919. I was never close to my father George Brooks Van Arnam b. Silverton 1906 d. Anchorage 1995 and his family. Am therefore searching for any piece of information to put the Van Arnam and Lawrence family picture together. Again many thanks for your kind assistance.

Wilhoit Springs used to be a resort type area and is south of Molalla, OR in Clackamas CO. I believe the property is privately owned at the present. My husband said that a relative told him that a person could still go there to get mineral water. It at one time was a park with cabins and I guess was quite the popular place. It is near the end of Wilhoit road. If you would turn right before getting there the road would lead to Scotts Mills.
