[or-roots] logging photos

Mon Dec 19 09:13:40 PST 2005

I have one photo (not digitized) of a logging camp where my grandmother
met my grandfather.  They were both cooks in the camp and the picture is
of several people.  I would really like to know where this camp was as I
have not been able to find their marriage record.  I know that she was
living in Portland in 1918 and was just starting to cook.  They ended up
in Aberdeen Washington.

I will look for the picture tonight and see if I can scan it.

Gene if you want to see some old logging photos, and I do not have a lot

It is case sensitive so be sure to cap my name, the photo of the four
ladies on horseback in the tree notch is there list as unknown.

				There are a number of books out on the
Oregon Logging industry, you might run a search on them, My grandfather
was a logger in 1910 as well as some of my other relatives, have some
old photos.

				Hi Cecil......a Merry Christmas and
Happy New Year to you and yours.  Thanks for your email.  The reason I
have made this post is that I had a first cousin once removed who was a
logger living in a mobile home in Sweet Home.  Family legend says he and
his wife died in a fire caused by a union bombing.   I have the
coronor's report and they did die in a fire.  The coronor's report says
they were seen drinking earlier in the evening and they were both
smokers.  This was in 1952.  The bodies weren't discovered until after
the fire was put out????  Investigations weren't that thorough in those
days.  What are your thoughts about the possibilities of the bombing
theory being correct.

				As an aside.  I am ex RM2  USN.  I was
in from July '59 until November '63.  I spent 18 months on Guam and the
remainder of my hitch on the USS Manatee AO-58.   Thanks again for your
post.     Jim   Minneapolis

				I'm not sure just when my father became
a logger in the Sweet Home, Linn Co., OR area, but it was in the 1940's.
I do recall he belonged to the Union in Sweet Home until he got fed up
with the corruption ca 1952.  He told them what they could do with their
union.  He was black balled and never held another good job in the woods
around Linn County!

				At that time the biggest house in Sweet
Home belonged to the head of the union.  Hmmmm??

logging industry

				Greetings to all listers.  I have a
rather intense interest in finding out the extent to which efforts
existed to unionize the logging industry in Oregon in the late 40's and
early 50's.  A special focus is on Linn and Marion counties.  Any books,
articles, or personal experience/knowledge of the topic would be very
much appreciated.  Blessings to all.   Jim    Minneapolis
