[or-roots] Prairie City

Clifford Howell was our neighbor, & his  daughter was Peggy.  Have you  
checked out the sites I sent yet?  I found several Howell's there  too.    Gerrie

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.
