<DIV><FONT face=Calibri size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Calibri size=3>I just got home from vacation last night &
I'm catching up on reading my mail now. There was a town of Copper up at
the Applegate area & when they put the dam in I think the back waters
covered up the town of Copper or else it's on the edge of the man made lake now.
Was an old mining community. I don't know if this is your Copper but thought I
would tell you. It's in Jackson Co., OR. I have been there many years ago before
& after the dam as I used to live in Rogue River, OR. & just got back
from there visiting our family farm.</FONT></DIV>

Watkins/Copper Oregon</DIV></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have an obituary from 1970 that lists this person's birth place as</DIV>
<DIV>"Watkins, Ore., which is now known as Copper." I can't find
either name on</DIV>
<DIV>my "DeLorme Oregon Atlas & Gazetteer."</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Has the name changed again or is it a ghost town?</DIV>
