[or-roots] Historical newspapers

[Pearlsoup at aol.com]

Hi Listers!

I recently acquired a scrapbook of newspaper clippings from the Oregonian 
dating between 1933 to 1935. The clippings are all about Royalty, kidnappings 
and the whole Charles Lindbergh thing is in there, including the trial for 
the couple who were accused. Movie stars, local music and radio. There is a 
photo of Morey Amsterdam doing his radio thing. Marriage announcements and 
obits and lots of articles about the Catholic religion. There is a fabulous 
story about the group of nuns who traveled here from Europe to start a school 
and the hardships they endured and there is a list of schools. My property, 
here in Beaverton, was rumored to have had a Catholic girl's school on it 
but was not mentioned. There is an antique Catholic cemetery across Murray 
Blvd. next to a large Baptist church. The stones are all dated around 1880 but 
I have never been able to find anything about the school. My neighborhood 
is called Marysville and it is just two blocks from Hwy 26 on Murray towards 
Beaverton. It is not really in the city limits of Beaverton but our address 
is Beaverton. I have seen the history of the early settlers of this 
neighborhood but still no mention of the school or church that must have been next 
to the cemetery.

Anyway, my neighbor has given me a small stack of mostly ruined Oregonian 
newspapers dating from the 20's. Some say Oregon Journal and they are in the 
large format. I would like to offer these to anyone who might like to have 
them. I couldn't resist getting the scrapbook at a garage sale for 50¢ but I 
am not trying to acquire any more things. (So, why am I going to garage 
sales?) : ) So, anyone who would be willing to pay the postage can have these 
things and I am offering them here because of the interest in Oregon I think 
you all must have. There is no telling what you might find. Some of the 
articles are not pasted at the bottom and you can lift them and read what is on 
the back. I saw an article they were still talking about prohibition which I 
thought was over by 1933 but maybe it was still in affect until 1936?

So, I'll take the first person who says they would like to have these and 
if you send me your zip code I will be able to tell you how much it will cost 
to send you the items.

Thanks!
