<DIV><FONT face="Lucida Bright" size=2>WoW! Wonderful web site. </FONT><FONT face="Lucida Bright" size=2>Not only do I have pioneer families in Oregon, </FONT><FONT face="Lucida Bright" size=2>but also in the Grande Ronde Valley, Joseph, Lostine, Wallowa, Imnaha, & etc...and Washington too.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Lucida Bright" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Lucida Bright" size=2>I was looking in the Milton Freewater section of the web site & remembering my g-grandmother is buried in Milton Freewater in one of the old cemeteries just out side town. Not sure which one probably the Milton Freewater Pioneer Cem. Her name Sarah Alice (Plank) Lydall/Lydell, died in 1891 just after giving birth to my grandmother Alice Mildred Lydall. Some day I need to go there & find her headstone & take a picture. I was there as a small child with my grandma Alice, but forgot where the Cem. & grave was exactly. It was on a knoll on private land I believe. Also the grandmother to my grandmother Alice is buried some where there too I think, Mary (Housouer) Plank died 1922. Mary has a wooden marker with her name on it.</FONT></DIV>
