County Oregon</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>This is what I've got about Delena:<BR><BR>"Delena was located
about seven miles west of Rainier on the Columbia River<BR>Highway, and near
Beaver Creek. The post office was established April 22,<BR>1892, with Lincoln
J. Meserve first postmaster. It was discontinued October<BR>31, 1905, and
re-established March 16, 1920. Delena post office closed to<BR>Clatskanie
March 15, 1922. Members of the Meserve family were reared at<BR>Delena on
Beaver Creek and their opinions about the history are doubtless<BR>reliable.
The son of the postmaster, W. N. Meserve, wrote in 1947, that the<BR>community
of Dent was named for Julia Dent (1826-1902) of Missouri, the<BR>spouse of
Ulysses S. Grant (1822-1885) of Ohio, US president from 1869 to<BR>1877. The
couple married in 1848 and were the parents of three sons and
a<BR>daughter."<BR><BR>Aileen Itzen wrote:<BR><BR>> Delena is a community a
few miles east of Clatskanie, some 10 miles or<BR>> less down the
Columbia River from Longview, Washington. It is probably<BR>> closer
to the Columbia River than Clatskanie but all in the same area.
No<BR>> longer has a post office.<BR>><BR>> At 10:01 PM 03/31/2004
