[or-roots] Portland Area Orphanages c. 1923

[Glen Jones]

Les and Stephen 

Just for interest I have old photos of Diston Oregon also of the railroad bridge being 

built accross the Row River, my grandfather was a logger at D iston in 1910. 

I have cousins still in Cottage Grove.

Hi Les, 

Thank you for the information. I will check  this link. 

Yes, I can see how my email address would lead you to think I live somewhere between Cottage Grove and Dorena. 
In fact I'm a native San Diegan.  I did live in Cottage Grove in 2002 and in Eugene from 2003 to 2006.  That is not, however, the reason my email is Row River.... 

Being from Cottage Grove and interested in genealogy perhaps you have heard the story of how the Row River became the Row after originally being called the North Fork of the Middle Fork of the Willamette.  My ggg grandfather was the George Clark referenced in this story. 

If you haven't heard the story I'll be happy to share it with you. 

Stephen Clark

I came close to what you are probably looking for;

This page is from Oregon bluebook for 1929-30 and has been updated with reference to those homes still in existence for your contact convenience. 


I am curious about your email addy as it seems to indicate you live some where east of Cottage Grove, which is my home town.

Thanks for any assistance.
