Hello, Does anybody know the name of the newspaper that serves Tigard, Washington Co., OR, and/or the web site address? I'm looking for an obituary for Keith SORENSON who recently died on the 8th of January 2005. Blessings, Bev in Calif.

These are local items about Washington County happenings in an old newspaper I have. Beaverton Chronicle was a weekly and the issue is No. 7. Published by Clarke & Thayer. A TEN-DOLLAR PIECE The Chronicle wants a rattling good lively newsgatherer in every city, town and hamlet in glorious old Washington County. On the first day of July we will give a Ten Dollar Gold Piece to the lady or gent from any locality who has acted the most faithfully in the capacity of a correspondent. It is not he or she who writes the longest letter who will pocket the coin, but the one who gets up the spiciest correspondence and attends to it faithfully. It will not matter how many write from the same town - they will all be given a chance. After receiving the first letter we will mail you stamps and writing materials. -------------------------------------------- REEDVILLE NEWS (From the Chronicle correspondent) We will try and give you a short description of Reedville and vicinity: Reedville is situated about 12 miles from Portland by the wagon road and 16 miles by rail, and the town is midway between Beaverton and Hillsboro. The land in this vicinity is as fertile and produces as many bushels of grain per acre as any land in Washington County, or, as we could safely say, as any in the state. The first thing to attract the notice of visitors is the large warehouse and elevator owned by IMBRIE and IMLIE. Reedville has one general merchandise store owned by S. BUCHANAN, who is also postmaster and railroad agent. Going west from the depot we behold the fine farm of 1000 acres owned by LADD and REID and managed by W. H. McELDOWNEY. Going further west we see the Witch Hazel stock farm, owned by Van B. DeLASHMUTT. On this farm are two racetracks, one a regulation mile track and the other a half-mile covered track for winter use. At present there are about 40 horses in training and among them some of the fastest trotters in the state. Going north we come to the fine residence of Hans RASMUSEN, erected two years ago, and the handsomest dwelling in the neighborhood. Further on is the farm of PIERSON bros. and adjoining is the large farm of A. H. JOHNSON of Portland, with James BOSWICK in charge. Other farms in the vicinity are owned by E.L. OLSON, Mrs. C. LYSTRUP, Mrs. Sadie JOHNSON, Mrs. S. MULL, James RASMUSEN and J. W. YORK. Reedville has a comfortable schoolhouse, with an attendance of about 45 bright boys and girls. For families wanting a good school and a quiet, progressive community, Reedville is the place to come to. The children of the Reedville school, under the management of our very efficient teacher, Miss L. WOODWARD, are making rapid progress on the road to knowledge. Reedville can boast that it has the best school of any country district in the county. Hans RASMUSEN, road supervisor of the Reedsville district, is cross-laying some of the worst places in the woods near town. That's what we want to see --- good roads, at least we would like to see them passable. Miss Anna BENNETT, who has been stopping with Mrs. James BOSWICK, returned to her home in Cornelius Thursday morning. A number of the farmers in this vicinity are taking advantage of the rise in the market and are shipping their potatoes. There will be preaching in the schoolhouse next Sunday morning and evening by Rev. BEAUCHAMP of Hillsboro. Miss Nelia YORK, who has been employed in Hillsbors, was called home last week by the illness of her sister. Jack NEEP, who is working for L. C. MOSHER, has been visiting his relaties at Cornelius the past week. Prayer meeting will be held in the Congregational church on Thursday (tomorrow) evening. W. V. WILEY of Hillsboro paid a visit to Reedville on Friday afternoon. P. GRIMM was a passenger to Portland by Saturday morning's train. James BOSWICK shipped a fine lot of port to Portland on Thursday. ------------------------------------------------------- Next time - news from Sylvan Barbara Cady cady978@aol.com

I've "rescued" an old photograph of Forrest WILLIAMS of North Yamhill who is identified as the son of Jim & Dot WILLIAMS. I'm not sure about his Mother's name as it is hard to read on the back of the photograph. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880's sometime with Forrest likely about 1 year old at the time. I believe that this may be a photograph of Forrest WILLIAMS b. 29 October 1891 and died April 1967 at Yamhill, OR. Another WILLIAMS Family researcher believes that Jim or Jimmy WILLIAMS of Yamhill, OR was the son of Conrad WILLIAMS and Laverie BERRY and that they had at lease one other son, Edward WILLIAMS. The family of Conrad & Laverie WILLIAMS were in both Yamhill and Washington Counties in Oregon during the 1800's. I'm hoping to locate someone from his family so that this precious old photograph can be returned to its rightful place with family. If you are a member of this family or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley
