If you have not done so the Willamette Valley Genealogy Society is in the 

Oregon State Library in Salem and Close by is the Oregon State Archives 

They could be of help to you, not sure where you live, Butte Cr eek does sound Familier, 

but local Libraries or genealogy societies or the LDS Chuch Family History Center near where 

you live co uld also help in your research.

Subject: [or-roots] Beach 


I have lurked and observed on this list for several years and have learned so much from you all.  Now it's time for me to get down to business with my 
search to benefit my grandchildren. 
My grandmothers parents and uncle are buried at Belle Passe in Woodburn.  My great grandparents are John Beach and Martha Lasira Noble Beach. 
Martha's paternal line traces back to Thomas Noble in mid 1600's in Massachusets. (Martha,Caleb, Thomas Jr., Thomas Sr.,} 
I've not done so well with the Beach family who came here from Michigan.  Both John and his brother Amos fought in Custer's Cavalry regiment in the Civil War.  Amos was taken prisoner and John was wounded. 
I've recently learned that Amos was the first constable in Woodburn, in fact there is an article about him on the web page of the Woodburn police chief.  I've just now found the following article about Amos through Genealogy Bank, that gives some very exciting details about his military service. 

Here's where I need help on this line.  My great-grandaughter, an 8th grader at Butte Creek (honor roll student if I may brag) is currently studying the Civil War, including the battles mentioned below.  She would like to take a copy of this article to her teacher, but for the life of me I can't get it to copy! 
Can any one help? 

Also Amos had several children. His son George was the first City Recorder.  If anyone has knowledge of any of this family and descendants I would dearly love help in locating them. My grandmother, Jessie May Beach Austin, was an only child, so no where to go there. 

Thank you for any help you can give me.

(I may have to send the article in a separate e-mail. Doesn't want to co-operate!!)
