History Mystery Photo The Dalles Chronicle July 25, 2004 page A5 [Text Only] Several folks were able to identify last week’s photo, an item from the Seufert collection at the Oregon Historical Society which is identified by the society as “December rime* frost – Mt. Hood from Tygh Ridge.” Darlene Hayes, George Armstrong and Velma Limmeroth all knew the correct answer. We like the way Velma Limmeroth put it in an e-mail: “The barn is on Center Ridge Road, between Easton Canyon Road and Long Hollow Road. It is what we call the Moore Place and belongs to Frances Limmeroth Trust. It was purchased by Al Limmeroth in the early 1960s. “Mount Hood stands proudly in the background.” * The American Heritage Dictionary, Third Edition 1992, rime (rim) n. Frost or a coating of granular ice, as on grass, and trees.

Earline: Wish that I could have seen that picture for I know that it must have been beautiful -- especially from: The barn is on Center Ridge Road, between Easton Canyon Road and Long Hollow Road. According to a discription by Velma Limmeroth: "It is what we call the Moore Place and belongs to Frances Limmeroth Trust. It was purchased by Al Limmeroth in the early 1960s -- i.e., That MOORE PLACE was my girlhood home -- the Orrin W. Moore wheat ranch on Tygh Ridge near Nansene, and right across the road was part of the James W. Moore Estate (my grandfather) land, all of which my father farmed until his death in 1945. (The James W. Moore Estate land was purchase by a Moore cousin, James A. Underhill, and it is farmed by his son, Martin Underhill -- last time I saw the place, Grandpa's barn, it was still standing, too - at head of Long Hollow Road.) These MOORE Lands included land of 1) James W. Moore; 2) James' mother, Elvira (Mendenhall) Moore; James' brother, Hiram Embree Moore; and my father, Orrin W. Moore -- with most of it as BLM lands, homesteaded by these family members. Great-Grandmother, Elvira Moore's house originally stood in a spot between the 1920s house, that my parent's built, and the Barn. There is some Genealogy for you all! According to my father, "Mt Hood is "due west, 45 miles as a crow flies"! I often use this as a qoute, when writing of it. On top of that barn is a look-out trap door from which you see a panaramac view of the Dufur Valley and it was often used in sighting of fires -- then to spread the message over the farmers' owned telephone line.
