<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>My grandparents came to Washington in 1902. I know they were
living in the Elochoman Valley, Wahkiakum County Washington in 1902 &
3. I have a picture of my grandfather on a logging train
in 1904. Also one of my Grandmother, my father and 2 of his
siblings at the Sunny Grove School, Elochoman No. 12 about 1904.</DIV>
<DIV>My father used to tell about coming on the train. I have wondered
just what their route might have been. Have been told the train
did come down the Oregon side of the Columbia River.</DIV>
<DIV>Anybody know any details?</DIV>
