[or-roots] What went on in Oregon 1870-188

[DanM]

1873 Walter J Matney ( pioneer )
dies during the Modoc uprising,
 place of death Alturas CA, place of burial unknown , he and Sam K Matney
were well known to get into scraps with the Modocs.

   We do not know the cause of his death either.


 Interesting about the Grange, I am level 6,
 Just dawning on me it started that long ago even tho
 I have read it on the logos,
I have a grange manual here too someplace.

For gold, see Jacksonville, and Vern Blue.
