Why does that subject line sound like I am asking about a TV show?
Nancy have you tried locating them in the 1940 Census, I haven't looked that close, but it might give you an address, I am sure we could pin down the location to within a block or two if they are at least identified by street name, I know some of the 1930 stuff I have looked at I could identify the exact block the houses were on and I think I have even pinpointed a couple of locations with she Sanborn maps that way.

Yes, That's how I found the Super Highway they lived on, but it doesn't give a house # & it's next to Redwood drive? 
In 1930 my grandfather was in Dayton, Columbia, Washington & widowed.  Sometime between 1930 to 1940 he married my step grandmother.

Nancy, Redwood Ave. was the next "through street" north of Maple. My family moved from Maple Street to River Road in 1940 - so we are in a different place for the 1940 census. But I remember the house to which you refer very well - between that house and "mine" on Maple there was at that time a huge field which was replaced by a motel (I don't think it was still called a motor court at that time, but by time of WWII (the big one) my family had moved next door to the Fire Hall on Oak Grove Boulevard (now greatly enlarged and quite permanent) as my father was the volunteer fire chief. Your family was unique because they spoke French - 


I well remember the Sunday morning (1943) a small fighter plane from the Portland Air Base crashed into the kitchen of Conger's house east of the Super Highway on Redwood and my father was in his car headed south toward Oregon City. He turned around and came back to the fire station and got out the ONE truck they had and my brother and I rode on the back of the truck holding onto the chrome bar with one hand each while we held tightly to the rope handles of the veneer box that represented the "First Aid Kit" for the Oak Lodge Fire Dept. I was probably 12 and my brother was 8. Good thing there was no OSHA or anything else, and my Dad was also a deputy sheriff. 


We held on tight as the truck went onto the Super Highway and north two blocks to Redwood and up to the house which was on fire. The pilot was killed in the crash and the fire was extinguished and we probably rode home in the cab of the truck - or most likely, we walked! 


If we ever had a house number I don't remember it - I think we all had post office boxes and picked up our own mail. (Ours was Box 111 - and all of the mail for the mayor, the fire dept. and the "Civilian Defense" for Oak Grove seemed to come to our box.) My father was chair of the school board when I graduated from 8th grade at Oak Grove Grade School so he even signed my diploma. At that point, I was worldly wise and ready to ride the streetcar every school day to Milwaukie Union High School

Now that Lyn has given me a fix on where exactly to look I am sad to say that doesn't show up on the Sanborn Maps. They run out just a mile north of that location in the 1928-36 version that I have available. ?Apparently Sanborn didn't consider Oak Grove worth their while, or it isn't in the data base I have available. One thing confusing the issue is a lot of street names have been changed over the years as well as connections which made it difficult for me to correlate.?
Incidentally?Lyn, Sanborn must have used your cell phone to name the streets, they spelled it the same wrong way on their maps.
And that neighborhood is now sort of a strip mall, no houses on the blvd any where near Maple.

Les, that "strip" from Oak Grove Boulevard north to Courtney is an unfortunate collection of motley and dishonored places on the west side of the Super Highway, to say the least. The house I lived in, which was on the NW corner of Maple and King, before the Super Highway was built, was torn down after an unfortunate relative of the subsequent owners from my era hanged himself in the basement. For a time there was a restaurant attached to the front of the house before its demise, and that was replaced by a fast food drive in/by and that chain was defunct shortly after. 


Across Maple to the south, "adult" entertainment places replaced the former houses (which was ironic, given that one of the occupants of a house which is still visible behind the "adult" facade was the residence of a fellow subsequently convicted of sexual abuse of a child - - not quite the reputation his mother would have wanted for their house.) 


At that time, the center of town was farther west, along the streetcar tracks. I was ever so glad when my family moved to River Road. And yes, many street names were changed - some changed to names of the original land owners (Creighton comes to mind). As an unincorporated area, it was bereft of any planned development and cracker boxes were rampant during the 1930s and the "Great Depression" During and after World War II, uncontrolled growth was the result. A drive down "River Forest Rd." now is a shock - where there were once lovely homes of professional men and their families, there is now a nest of interesting houses and unlinked roads.

Now that Lyn has given me a fix on where exactly to look I am sad to say that doesn't show up on the Sanborn Maps. They run out just a mile north of that location in the 1928-36 version that I have available. Apparently Sanborn didn't consider Oak Grove worth their while, or it isn't in the data base I have available. One thing confusing the issue is a lot of street names have been changed over the years as well as connections which made it difficult for me to correlate. 


Incidentally Lyn, Sanborn must have used your cell phone to name the streets, they spelled it the same wrong way on their maps. 


And that neighborhood is now sort of a strip mall, no houses on the blvd any where near Maple.

Yes, That's how I found the Super Highway they lived on, but it doesn't give a house # & it's next to Redwood drive? 
In 1930 my grandfather was in Dayton, Columbia, Washington & widowed. Sometime between 1930 to 1940 he married my step grandmother. 

Thanks, Nancy

Thanks Sue, can't share information like that enough; here are some more very useful links and yes they are non Oregon, but most of these links are ones I found doing background on my Oregon folk, that counts doesn't it?
http://www.digitalarchives.wa.gov/?
That is the link to Washington Digital archives
If you are not familiar with them you might find some other sites I will paste in useful too. None of these data bases will have any where near every thing you might want them to have and I have not been able to discern any real pattern to what is and is not there. The MO and AZ also have a lot of scanned original documents, the others I am going to list here are only indexes.
http://abish.byui.edu/specialCollections/westernstates/index.cfmThis first one is a BYU link to a whole bunch of information, but the AZ index that provides access to scanned stuff for some info is half way down the right hand column
http://www.mdch.state.mi.us/gendisx/search.htmhttp://www.wisconsinhistory.org/vitalrecords/
Oh my Illinois has changed their stinking site again, not sure what you will find here, but it looks like a lot of original documents;
http://www.idaillinois.org/cdm/
Unfortunately as far as I can tell the search engine is not effective, I tried half a dozen items in complete mystery before discovering that the data base I was querying had an address in all entries using the term I was querying on. I tried a different surname and got four hits, looking at the first one I noted at top of screen an entry saying zero hits for my search term in that document???? I will add there is?fascinating?stuff there even if the search engine is useless
Man this was a pain to find;
http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/departments/archives/databases/home.html
about half way down are two death indexes and the marriage index, again not every death or marriage in Illinois is in these, but they are an immense help and I believe there is a mechanism to purchase any document you really want. the Wisconsin index is very user friendly to purchase docments from, the one time I did they were $8 each. I haven't checked price lately.

I am way behind here but I was sick for about a year and half.
I got some of those roses and they were doing very well.  The deer 
didn't bother them last year although they ate up all the other roses.  
This year they decided they liked the old time roses as well, so they 
don't look as good as they used to.

Verdeena I have to prune my roses pretty soon the deer haven't bothered mine yet but if it gets any worse around here the may get hungry enough.  Take some eggs put them in a gallon jar and fill with water stir or shake real good then pour it on the roses.

Glad you are feeling better dear lady. One of my cousins swears by some deer?repellent? that only has to be put around about once a month.?
Liquid fence is the name, I don't have a lot of faith in those things but, she says it works.?

I think I might try Walt's recipe first, we have had deer repellent 
before but it did no good.  Thank you for the good wishes and thanks to 
Walt too.  Lost my husband in Feb. 2010.  One of my son's lives on the 
property and the other one lives next door so they tend to keep track of 
me.  Haven't really got into genealogy again but if I keep reading your 
messages, it won't be long
