[or-roots] Portland Area Orphanages c. 1923

[Roy Blaine]

Mr. Jones,

My family, too, were loggers in the "Greater" Cottage Grove area from the 1880s on. Contact me offline if you are interested in some pictures of old mills and logging op from those days in Lynx Hollow, etc.  Owens, Wheeler, Darnell, mainly.
