[or-roots] legal of the area

[Sherry Sanders Kimbrough]

Hello Les and all,

Thanks for all your help. I'll check next time I'm in Astoria with the
Historical Society. I do have a copy of the original plat map that they
gave me at the clerk's office, but I wasn't able to find the sales for
the development. Perhaps tax records will help me at the historical
society.

Best regards,
 Sherry                            mailto:research at lanstat.com
