[or-roots] Dr Irvine and Lebanon History & Dr. Ralph E. Herron

[Barbara Wulf]

I was born in August 1947 in the building that is now the Lebanon Public Library.  My brother was born in October 1948 in the hospital.  However, reading the article about Lebanon it looks like they were doing fund raising to build the hospital in 1957.

  I just love this list.  You all have such interesting stories and I always find something intriguing within.  I wish I knew the year of the birth in the library.  I am having a running argument with my cousin about just such an occurrence.  My grandmother claimed to have given birth in a store in about 1923 and my cousin insists that would be impossible.

  On another note, I had a Dr. Pollard who delivered my first son, but that was in California in 1962.  Wonder if he was related to the Dr. Pollard below?

    I was also born in the Library.  My mom said she got to stay in the hall
    because there were no rooms.  My little brother was born in the NEW
    facility.

    Durlams Bakery made the cake each year, but they used California
    strawberries because they could not count on the local ones being ripe in
    time.  Do you remember the merry-go-round that came in with the carnival.  I
    actually got old enough to ride the horses that moved up and down before it
    quit coming.

    We lived on the highway that goes to Sweet Home.  [My nephew has the place
    now.]  We went to Crowfoot.  They have closed it now.  Seems a shame.  Of
    course it was OLD when my family started there in the early 50s.

    Lets rephrase that.  I went to Crowfoot.  My sister went to Crowfoot,
    Waterloo, then back to Crowfoot.  Little Brother started at Crowfoot then
    spent the rest of grade school at Waterloo.  His friends from the
    neighborhood stayed at Crowfoot. It seemed to be just where the house was
    located.

    Are we getting old?  We now remember history.

    I notice that you are also on the dry side now.

    > Hello Barbra, yes it was some time ago, now you can get an idea of how old
    I am. There was also a Dr Pollard and Dr Blachard in Lebanon. My younger
    brother and sister were born in the 'now Lebanon Library' when it was the
    Hospital. I started primary grade school at Greenacres, then went to the two
    room school at Griggs befor we moved to Scio, on the old Shelburn Rd. I
    remember the old pioneer buildings there that now you only see in photos at
    the Salem Public Historical on line photo library. Oh yes and the year was
    not complete unless you attended the annual Lebanon Strawberry Festival and
    had some of that strawberry shortcake! It is interesting to see how the
    Valley has grown and changed over the years. Mary in The Dalles

    Do any of you remember Dr. Ralph E. Herron born Aug. 4, 1904 near Monroe in Benton County. Died at Lebanon Community Hospital.  He saved My life in 1943 in the old Hospital.  With Penicillin.  I and my brother John were both born at home on Brushcreek Road out of Crawfordsville, Linn, Oregon.

     The Lebanon, Linn, Oregon Newspaper had a lot about him when he died..  As well as the 50 th birthday of the Lebanon, Hospital.

  If you need more information, you Can write to me at LPeRKIN60 at aol.com
