<FONT size=3 face=Verdana>That's really interesting. It's always good to get pieces of information to add to the family lore. Josiah Burnett, my ggrandfather, was Martha Hanley's brother. The Burnett's came on the Oregon Trail via the Barlow Road in 1853. They then settled at Round Prairie near Roseburg. After Martha married Michael Hanley and moved to Jacksonville, my gggrandfather John Sims Burnett lived with them and is buried in the Jacksonville Cemetery. Josiah married Lucy Foster whom he met at Eagle Creek after arriving there via the Barlow Road. They later returned to Eagle Creek from Round Prairie when Lucy's father, Philip Foster, gave them land to build a house as he wanted her closer.</FONT><BR>

<FONT size=3 face=Verdana>The Hanley Ranch at Jacksonville is a real treasure of Oregon as it is so portrays a ranch of that time period. I have some wonderful pictures of the old barn, especially when Mike Hanley of Jorday Valley brought his stage coach and six-up in 2004.</FONT><BR>

<DIV>Hi Joanne,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The Nichols, both Edward and his son, George actually worked for both Bill and Mike Hanley during their lifetimes. They worked for Bill Hanley on the huge OO spread SW of Burns and for Mike at the large Butte Creek Ranch. I have some pictures of both her grandad and great grandad Nichols in their wagon in front of the big barn on the Hanley Farm in Jacksonville. My mother-in-law Geneva Nichols lived on the Butte Creek Ranch for a while after she divorced her first husband and then met my father-in-law, William "Fritz" Nickell who worked for the ranch as a cow hand. He lived on his dad's homestead (William A. 'Bill' Nickell) just outside of the Hanley Ranch property. Interesting enough, Bill Nickell registered his brand as OO after the old Hanley OO Ranch was sold in 1941. The family used to have some of the daily logs for the ranch as my mother-in-law Geneva kept all of the records for her dad on the day to day expenses and time records, etc... as it pertained to the cow hands and the cattle drives, etc... <BR>Regards,</DIV>

<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: Verdana; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">List,<BR> <BR>My mother-in-law, Geneva A. (Nichols) Nickell, daughter of George A. Nichols and Mattie Stallsworth was born in what was Dorena, OR on the Row River back in 1914. From what I know about the area, the original town of Dorena is now under water in the Dorena Reservoir which, I believe was finished around 1949. The original schoolhouse would have been located there but was moved off of its foundation to about 5 miles north of the original spot and I think still is in use. So, if anyone was buried behind the original schoolhouse, they would be now under the water in the reservoir. I believe, according to family stories, that about 100 homes were flooded over once the reservoir was filled including the original house of my mother-in-law's family. They relocated to Willow Creek, just a little ways from Dorena. Finally settling in and around Lake Creek, OR where George and his father, Edward F. Nichols worked on the old Hanley Ranch for many years. <BR><BR> <BR>

<DIV>My grandmother, Dee Darnell, was one of the contributors in the excellent little book "Golden Was the Past.". She took my cousin and I swimming at a hole on Row River back in 1970. I remember her telling us it was NOT "Roe River" and not about paddling a boat, but about the feud between the Clarks and Southwells. </DIV>

In the spring of 1868, March 27th this 'row' boiled over and a confrontation between Joseph Southwell; his sons Benjamin, Edwin, and John and George Clark erupted.
