[or-roots] Weston, Oregon history updated and online

[Trish Neal]

LOL Yeah, I'm sure you were followed.  Small town, not a lot to patrol so "strangers" get a lot of attention no matter where you are from.  The town is off the highway. There is better signage on the highway now.  Watch for flashing lights on the highway.  
The library is on Main Street. White picket fence in front. If you check out the Commercial Historic District page on the same site you found the cemetery information you'll see the building along with City Hall and the Police Station.   www.HistoricWestonOregon.com  Library has a website, too.  www.WestonPublicLibrary.com  Their hours are posted on the home page. The librarian is very helpful and if you contact her in advance I'm pretty sure she can arrange to be there if it is not during the usual hours.
We set up a general gate way page for Weston at www.WestonOregon.com  That will give you links to other information.
The Weston and Athena schools have combined their classes.  There is a school in Weston.  It's up on the hill and it is kind of hard to find if you don't know what street to take.  The entire complex has just been nominated for Historic Site status and from what I understand it has been approved on the state level.  
I can put you in touch with someone in Weston who would be glad to show you around.  Just let me know.

I visited Weston once several years ago, but couldn't really find the town.  I was followed the whole time by a policeman who must have thought it odd to see a California license plate driving through this residential neighborhood.  I was looking to find a school if there was one and if I would have found a library that would have been great.  My grandmother grew up in Weston and went to school there.  Do you know what days the library is open?

That's great!  By the way, the burial cards are kept at the Weston Public Library in case you are interested in looking at the original information.

This is perfect timing as I will be visiting the area the first week in October for our 66th annual Hoskins Family reunion.  Thanks.

The Weston, Oregon Cemetery Index has been updated through April 2011.  This index was originally built on information that Garland Wilson had researched (and allowed us to post online) and then we updated that information.  The index was brought up to date in the last couple of days.  More information about the index, missing information,  and changes is available on the website. 



The cemetery site can be found at www.HistoricWestonOregon.com You can also find the Blue Mountain (Kees) Cemetery and the Hyatt Cemetery as well as other historical information for Weston.



This is one of several sites that have recently been developed for the community of Weston.  We've also added:


The Umatilla County Pioneers Association is now online at www.UmatillaCountyPioneersAssocation.com  I'm looking for information and photographs on past Pioneer Days as well as Past Queens and Grand Marshals.



The Isham Saling House website is back up after being lost for a few years.  www.IshamSalingHouse.com  Information has been updated and we expect to add more photos, history and other information as it becomes available.



If you have questions or even corrections or additions I would appreciate hearing from you.
