<DIV>There are many newer editions of the McArthur book - I just don't happen to
have one as they are expensive. And since my research is usually for old
geographic names, this one is fine. You can often find them in used book
stores or online. Mimi Stang </DIV>

Thanks Mimi. I knew about Hazelton Creek/Silk Creek but I had completely
forgotten that one of the Hazeltons was named Royal. If McArthur's book
was updated for 1982, I wonder if it is talking about the schoolhouse next to
Silk Creek Cemetary, or if this is old text referring to the Royal Academy
schoolhouse that isn't actually there any more - I think.<BR><BR>Roy

<DIV>Lane County. The USGS map of the Cottage Grove quadrangle shows a place
named Royal about five miles northwest of and up Silk Creek from Cottage
Grove. There is not much left of this little community except the
school. Royal post office was established April 6, 1887, with Royal
H. Hazelton postmaster. The office operated until September 19, 1899, and
it was doubtless named for the first postmaster. Incidentally Silk
Creek was at one time known as Hazelton Creek. Royal H. Hazleton received two
patents for government land in this vicinity in
1867. Mimi Stang</DIV>

mother was born in the Royal community, just west of Silk Creek, toward
Loraine from Cottage Grove. I know how Silk Creek got its name (by
family legend) but I do not know the origin of the name of Royal.
There was an SDA school there for a few years - Royal Academy - and a
store/gas station, and a few homes.<BR> <BR>If anyone knows the origin
of the name, I'd appreciate it.<BR><BR>Roy N.
