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.
