[or-roots] genealogy information resourses and research

[W David Samuelsen]

Actually Pine Valley is just a valley. Halfway is in this valley.
Pine Valley isn't a populated place. Halfway is and located in Pine Valley.

Town of Pine (it is this name you're looking for) ceased to exist when 
sawmill there closed. Most moved their business to Halfway. It was 
southeast of Halfway. Pine Town Lane and Sawmill Cutoff Lane run off 
east of Highway 86 (Baker-Copperfield Highway)

The valley extends nortwest to southeast.

David Samuelsen, native of Baker County
