[or-roots] Junction City area

[Leslie Chapman]

Linda is exactly correct Barbara, I just checked my 1958 Lane County
directory, if I had their box number I could probably tell you what section
they lived in. Route 3 included Old River Road, a piece of 99 W in the Monro
to Irish Bend Rd area, a couple roads that don't seem to have names,
something called Ingram Island Rd and a whole bunch more back toward
Junction city and west of it, There are several "star" routes inside the
area covered by Rural rlute No. 3 and I have no idea how that works but it
covers about 5 miles north of Monroe, but nothing west of 99 W until you get
south of Monroe.

A while back there was some discussion on the line between Lane County and
Benton County and the town of Junction City.  I have always known that the
Junction City Post Office covered a fairly large area, but in going over a
death certificate, I came up with a new area that the Junction City P. O.
covered (at least new to me).

The person died in 1940 at his residence with an address of Rt. 3, Junction
City, Benton Co., OR.  On the line for Street, it says Irish Bend Community.
The Irish Bend area is south of Corvallis but north of Monroe and definitely
north of Junction City.  The funeral home used was from Junction City, and
he is buried in what is now known Rest Lawn Memorial in the Junction City
area in Lane County.

Guess I should be careful in adding Lane County to all Junction City
entries.
