Dear Cynthia;

Otis no longer looks like it did even 40 years ago.  I can hardly believe it
when I go through; it is now just a "Y" in the road.

I live too far or I would go search for photos, etc.  I do have some contacts
for you.

Otis is in Lincoln County, Oregon.
ALSI Historical & Genealogical Society, Inc.
P.O.Box 822
Waldport. or. 97394

They are a source of many old photos and are in Lincoln Co.

Lincoln County Courthouse
225 W. Olive St.
Newport. Or. 97365-3811
  They are a good place to check.

Oregon Coast Historical Center
545 S.W. 9th
Newport, Or. 97365

(503)265-7509

I hope these will be of help.  If I can do anything, let me know.  I live near
Portland, Or but plan on going to Newport this year to do research on my
family.
