<html><div style='background-color:'><DIV class=RTE>Hey Barb,</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>I'm trying to catch up on email, been offline for awhile, I saw this from you and wondered if you can find any other references to ARNESON. From what this excerpt states, I'm guessing it took place in Portland around 1926, is that right?</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>I am researching that family. I believe the Roy Arneson mentioned is my great uncle and the "Mr. Arneson" may be my great grandfather. I'd appreciate any help. In the meantime I will try to locate a copy of the book you referenced at one of our local libraries, doubtful, but worth a try. </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>Thanks,</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>Nan</DIV>

<DIV class=RTE><EM><FONT face=Verdana>From the records of Mrs. Ostrand, we find that in the year 1852, E. H. Taylor, her father, came to Oregon. He purchased land on the Oregon side of the Columbia about 1863, which was later known as Taylor's Landing and still later as Corbett. Folklore says that Corbett received its name through a game of chance carried on in Portland. A post office was established at Taylor's landing in 1884, and J. S. Stevens established a store in 1888. In the year 1884, Mr. Taylor donated an acre of land for a school which stood on the west end of the present school site, and was known as Taylor School.. .. </FONT></EM></DIV>
