[or-roots] Profiles of Progress -- Sweet Home, Linn County, Oregon

[Sue Steward]

I would like the information on the Ames family.  My husband's aunt married into the Ames family of Sweet Home.

Thanks!

  I just received today a book I found on eBay about Linn County. It was written in 1971 by Roy A. Elliott. Of course I won't have time to read it for quite a while but I will offer this. There is a section on  family biographies. According to the introduction to that section the biographies
  were of pioneer families who settled the area under the homestead laws and chosen 
  because of notable contributions in public service to the community.

  Here is the list:
  The Ames family
  The Barr family
  The Russell family
  The Wiley family
  The Paddock family
  The Moss family
  The Sportsman family
  The Simons family
  The John Thompson family
  The Nye family
  The Galbraith family
  The Mealey family
  The Storey family
  The Keeney family
  The Malone family
  The Nothinger family
  The Rice family
  The Weddle family
  The Pickens family
  The Jackson family
  The Burgett family
  The Whitcomb family

  Now here is my offer: Remember these were Sweet Home area families.
  If you know that you are descended from one of these families and have not seen
  this book, I will scan that biography and send it to you in an attachment with proper
  citation. (Of course  you have to accept attachments to your email.)

  And, don't ask me to look for specific names because the book is not indexed
  and I DO NOT have time to search. Anyone not following my rules this time will
  not receive a response. Sorry!
