I've "rescued" an old school class photograph taken by the Gifford Studio in The Dalles, Oregon. The photograph includes the identification of 38 or the 39 students and advisor are pictured in the photograph. All appear to be in their early teens at the time the photograph was taken so I'm guessing it was taken between 1915-1920. The list of those identified in the photograph is as follows: Elza YOUNG Chester PHILLIPS Loyal KIRK Esther WATSON William MYERS Frank FRIZZELL Kenneth COOPER Karl HANSEN Clarence ELLIS Marlin FOX Vernon CHRISTMAN Claire BARNETT Eugene WRIGHT Alice CARROL Anna SKELLY Bessie MCCULAM Arleath CHARLTON Margaret MCLEOD Goldie THOMPSON Lillie WILSON Opal COLEMAN Vale WOOFRED Margaret BONNEY Rosalie SCHERRER Florence WILLIAMS Esta MILLER Elizabeth BURGETT Charlotte NEWHOUSE Dorothy LONGMIRE Marie RUMSEY Myrtle CARLSON Margaret GATES Irene PRENTISS Gladys LLANDLY Rose SEGUI Norma SEGUI Beatrice EDMUNSON Miss NOREN (advisor) Based on limited research I was able to locate information on many if not most of those identified in the photograph indicating that most were born between 1899 and 1903 with most being born and died in the State of Oregon. I am hoping to locate someone from one of the families so that the photograph can be returned to their care. If you are a member of one of these families or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thank you, Shelley

I would appreciate if someone would please look up an obituary for Auregene Lichtenthaler who died on 19 Oct 1878 in Athena, Umatilla County, Oregon. She and three of her children died within 3 months of each other (Martin on 16 Sep 1878, Nellie on 22 Sep 1878, and Harry on 3 Nov 1878). I believe typhoid fever was the cause of their deaths. Her husband Harrison B. Lichtenthaler and the one surviving son Ernest Grant Lichtenthaler moved to the Willamette Valley after that. Auregene's first name was also spelled many different ways: Ora Jean, Oregene, Orajene, Oridgene, Orre, Ora and even just OJ in one census. Thank you,

Susan, I have check over the Hermiston photos a couple times and could not find that photo. They changed server or something awhile back and it may have been over looked or??? I have written to a fellow, who worked at the Hermiston Herald and is a history buff about Hermiston and I am sure he has a good copy. I'll scan the newspaper one that I have here at the house, I'm to sure it will be a good copy, as it seem a bit old and faded. I keep wondering how the Bakers fit into the Dr James Ford family? There must be quite a story and are you writing the books now or do you have the books for sale now. I may be interested in buy a book, if you can give me the price.

Ingle 2002 page 23: Newport and Skinner turned their attention to starting a newspaper. With financial backing by Crawford and their own townsite company, they established THE HERMISTON HERALD in Sep of 1906. After preparing the news and advertising for te paper's first issue, they went to Pendleton and arranged with Charles E. Baker, then linotype operator for the Pendleton Morning Tribune under E. P. Dodd, to print the paper at the Tribune office. This arrangement continued several months. Baker would print the paper and have it on the train the next morning, and the copies would be distributed through the Hermiston post office. Later the townsite company transferred ownership of the business to Baker, but Newport, Skinner, and Mrs Crawford supplied the news. During the winter A. A. Lathrop kept the office and gathered news, advertising, and subscriptions. In the spring Baker moved to Hermiston, where he continued as publisher of the paper about three and a half years.
