[or-roots] Priairie City

[Cuprum4445 at aol.com]

Yes Dale - it's still called Prairie City, but was originally called Dixie  
Town. Roxanne Smith has created a marvelous website for Grant County  at:  
_http://gesswhoto.com/grant.htm_ (http://gesswhoto.com/grant.htm) .   
Prairie City is covered quite well there - I just went there to check it  out & 
the names bring back such wonderful memories of our years there. You  can find 
the Grant County Genealogical Society's president's name & email  address 
at the bottom of that website. (I was a member when we  started that society.)
 
Years ago we visited my dentist, Virgil Belknap in Idaho, before we moved  
to Prairie City.  He told me he was born there & indeed his father was  a 
prominent Prairie City doctor.  My little granddaughter used to call it  
"Pretty City" and that's very appropriate!  Grant County people  are wonderful & 
I miss them.

I  have a question.  Is Prairie City still called that and has that always  
been its name?
