Art Kelly of the Yaquina Genealogical Society sent this message today.
This is kind of a duh! moment for me as North Lincoln Historical Museum
is very close to the Otis area and I should have thought of it,
too.<br><br>

<dd>Dear Cynthia;<br><br>
<dd>Otis no longer looks like it did even 40 years ago. I can hardly believe it<br>
<dd>when I go through; it is now just a "Y" in the road.<br><br>
<dd>I live too far or I would go search for photos, etc. I do have some contacts<br>
<dd>for you.<br><br>
<dd>Otis is in Lincoln County, Oregon.<br>
<dd>ALSI Historical & Genealogical Society, Inc.<br>
<dd>P.O.Box 822<br>
<dd>Waldport. or. 97394<br><br>
<dd>They are a source of many old photos and are in Lincoln Co.<br><br>
<dd>Lincoln County Courthouse<br>
<dd>225 W. Olive St.<br>
<dd>Newport. Or. 97365-3811<br>
<dd> They are a good place to check.<br><br>

<dd>545 S.W. 9th<br>
<dd>Newport, Or. 97365<br><br>
<dd>(503)265-7509<br><br>
<dd>I hope these will be of help. If I can do anything, let me know. I live near<br>
<dd>Portland, Or but plan on going to Newport this year to do research on my<br>
<dd>family.<br><br>

<dd>I'm sorry to be so slow jumping in here, but the work week is over now! Dorothy is correct that Otis no longer looks as it used to. I'd add to what she said that also in Lincoln County is the Yaquina Genealogical Society (which has recently voted to change its name to more accurately depict its location in Lincoln County). Its headquarters are at the Toledo Public Library about 6 miles east of Newport, and the library has some great genealogical holdings and resources.<br><br>
<dd>The Society has a web page at <a href="http://www.rootsweb.com/~orygs/index.htm" eudora="autourl">http://www.rootsweb.com/~orygs/index.htm</a> which can give you more details, but here's a little bit from its Contacts section:<br><br>
<dd>"Online questions and remarks about the Yaquina Genealogical Society should be addressed to <a href="mailto:cmoody@newportnet.com">Chuck Moody</a> or <a href="akelly3655@earthlink.htm">Art Kelly</a>.<br><br>
<dd>"Postal mail should be addressed to:
<dd>Yaquina Genealogical Society
<dd>c/o Toledo Public Library
<dd>173 N.W. 7th Street
<dd>Toledo, OR 97391"
</dl>The phone number there is 541-336-3132.<br><br>
Good luck!<br><br>
