[or-roots] Prairie City

[Cuprum4445 at aol.com]

We lived in Prairie City, or as our little  granddaughter said: "Pretty 
City", for about 20 years.  We left P.  C. over 10 years ago, but still have 
friends there who are involved in  genealogy.  The ladies who run the Depot Park 
Museum have history on  Prairie City.  What surname are you looking for?  
 
Here are links to Prairie City's  website & a great Grant County 
history/genealogy  site:

How  long ago did you live in Prairie City?  I think that was where my  
grandmother was born.

Thanks  for telling us about Margie Boule's Sunday Oregonian column about the 
Spalding  letter getting to it's proper destination.  It's been fun reading 
the  listers' comments about that family.  What a Christmas gift that letter  
will be for the family!  I don't read the Oregonian very often, now that  I 
live in Idaho, so I appreciate Bill's updating this mail list.  True  
genealogists enjoy helping others solve family puzzles, not just their  own.
 

 
Some  years ago my husband was attending a business related seminar at the  
Portland head office.  At that time we lived in the tiny town of  Prairie City, 
in Grant County, so touring Portland was a treat for me.  I  used a self 
guided walking tour book to see such interesting sites.  I  had lunch in a 
charming little cafe in Old Town, having my first taste of  Stash's Crepe Fair tea, 
with my croissant sandwich.  It seems that cafe  was in a bakery and had 
wonderful cheese choices.  It was if I'd died and  gone to culinary heaven.  The 
dining area was small, and in walked Margie  Boule with other people for lunch.  
Margie was an Oregon TV journalist  then, so I recognized her.  I thought she 
was so beautiful and  charming.  Contrary to my normal impulses, I didn't walk 
over and ask for  her autograph.  It's good to hear she's still involved in 
journalism - a  lovely lady.

For  those that didn't read Margie Boule's column in the Sunday 
Oregonian, in  the "O" section, the letter got delivered to surviving 
family in the  Seattle area and they are planning to gather to open it 
(was it?)  Christmas Eve.
