Carol, I was recently in Umatilla County, home of the Blue Mountain Genealogical Society, and they were extremely helpful. They have several publications covering cemeteries in the county, and may be able to help you. According to Oregon GenWeb, the Weston Cemetery is the same as the Athena Cemetery. ("Weston;1871 ;Fully maintained cemetery [C]. Located one half mile west of town on hill. Athena, OR Township 4N Range 35E Section 22. Latitude 454904N Longitude 1182450W Athena, Oregon ) We were there, and the cemetery is exceptionally well maintained. Writing to the cemetery association may help you find your person. There is also a small cemetery just outside of Weston called Kees Cemetery (now called Blue Mountain). A sign indicated that records (and keys to access the area) were available at the Weston City Hall. Good luck!

Can anyone tell me where the Beasley Saw mill was in the 1870's? I am going to Pilot Rock on Saturday and would like to get a Photo of where it once stood. The Bannock Indians burned it down after 1878. Any help greatly appreciated. Just hoping some history buff or historian might know. Shirley

I am going to make a trip to Whitman College library to read microfilm next week. I will check the Walla Walla, Washington, paper and see if Jiney A. Frazier Curl is mentioned. Obits in that time frame don't tell the family members, but should mention who she was married to. Walla Walla is 15 miles from Milton-Freewater, Oregon. I don't believe Milton-Freewater papers are on microfilm at Whitman, but I will check and see. I think by 1913, births, deaths and marriages were required to be reported to the State of Oregon. You can go to the site below and see when they started recording them at state level. It will also give you the address and fees. U. S.

There's a Jiney A. (Frazier) Curl buried in the Milton City Cemetery (died Jun 18, 1913). I have been unable to determine which CURL she married.. She was born Dec 22, 1881 in Nebraska, died in/about Milton. Most Curls were buried in Olney Cemetery in Pendleton. She's a lone Curl in Milton. Anyone have any ideas or assistance? Curl Staniforth

I have just completed indexing the above book and will be placing it on the [email protected] website. The book was written by the Friends of the Maupin Library in 1986 and contains reminisces of members of the community. The book is available from the Maupin Library, [email protected] I do not know the area and its history personally so please do not contact me. I've copied the names as they appear on each page. Spellings differ from one article to another and I leave it to your research to learn if they are speaking of the same individual. Earline Wasser

I have information on/am looking for information on these families: MCCLELLAN(D), Robinson G. m. Elizabeth DONALSON Scott County, VA (until abt 1855) Knox County, KY (~1855 --1883) Nolin/Echo, Umatilla County, OR (~1883) Robinson G , Elizabeth and three of the younger children were in Knox County, KY, for 1880 census. In 1883, his daughter Melissa Rosina and her husband, Richard Parks WALLACE, were in Carbon County, WY, where their fourth child was born. The next two children were born in Umatilla County. Two of Robinson's daughters married Richard A. DOZIER (son of William "Cap'n Billy") Dozier. First Sarah, in 1872, in Knox County, KY. After Sarah's death, and after Richard Parks WALLACE's death, Melissa Rosina married him in 1917, in Multnomah County, OR. (although they were both living in Clackamas County by then). William DOZIER had three wives, Marinda Jane DISNEY, Mary J. PAYNE, Elizabeth Grant CALDER. The first two marriages were in Knox County, KY, and the last in TN. Only Elizabeth came west. Besides Richard A. (mother Mary J PAYNE), a daughter, Sarah Holland (mother Marinda DISNEY) married George Fleming BURNETT in Knox County, KY, and by 1880 they were in Umatilla County, where their last three children were born: Charles Henry, Sarah Isabelle and "Maggie". By 1898, Sarah Isabelle was in Clark County, Washington,where she married William HIGDON. William DOZIER's children by Elizabeth CALDER were all born in Umatilla County; Mary Lenore, married Charles Edward DUPUIS in 1888 in Pendleton, Umatilla County. They had nine children, all born in the Pendleton area, as far as we know. I have almost no info on the other sons-- William Alexander and John Neil -- or his youngest daughter Elizabeth Virginia. The MCCLELLANs, DOZIERs and DUPUIS' all served the Nolin school board in one capacity or another in the period 1890-1910. Robinson G's daughter Margrette married Charles William PARROTT in Knox County, KY, where their children were born. They moved to Umatilla County at some point (probably 1883-1889). I will be in Umatilla County next week, looking at the country, looking for history and, as always, looking for dead relatives (although the live ones are more fun to meet!). I am Robinson G.'s 2nd great granddaughter, through his daughter Melissa Rosina and her first husband, Richard Parks WALLACE. Regards, Susan Wallace Masse

Surnames in Umatilla County I am searching for is the Beasley Family Pilot Rock, They were the owners of the Beasley Sawmill. On the 1870 Census they are listed in the Willow Creek Precinct. One of their children was born in 1867 in Oregon, listed as born at Beasley Saw Mill. Many of the family died in the 1878 Diphtheria Epidemic. The mill was burned down by Indians that same year but later. Sarah Catherine died 17 April 1878. William J. Beasley according to my information died 27 May 1878, I am not sure of this though. Only one daughter lived through this epidemic. I would really like to know where that saw mill was located. I will be in Pilot Rock this Saturday and hope to locate the grave of My great Aunt Sarah Pruner Beasley. Any help greatly appreciated. Shirley Combs

Any info on the CURL family of Adams, Pilot Rock, Milton area greatly appreciated. Know wheat farmers in late 1880s. Several "at rest" in Olney Cemetery, Pendleton.

John Lewis Smith was born in 1855 to James and Rebecca Jane (MATHEW) SMITH in Marion Co., IA and died 1907 Athena, Umatilla Co., OR. The family moved from Iowa in 1864 to Summerville in Union Co. By the 1880 census John is gone from the family, and presumably has moved to Athena in Umatilla Co. According to the "Registration Book Umatilla County Pioneer Reunion 1892," his occupation in 1892 was peace officer and his address Athena, Ore. John married and had 6 children. According to a letter, the youngest of these children was a boy of 10 at the time John died. I've been unable to find a marriage for John or any other information about this family and would love to hear from anyone who has any information about them. Beth Perry Johnston
