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

[Sue Steward]

Sorry, I hit the send button before I finished my thought.  

If you want it indexed, perhaps those who are asking for a family biography would be willing to index that section.  I'd certainly be willing to index the Ames family biography.

  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!
