FAMILY HISTORY RESEARCH: From Carole Lange

July 15th, 2009

April 22, 2008-
I have been receiving the newsletter for many years and periodically like to send in a check to cover expenses.

I also have been putting my family on Ancestry public trees. This includes numerous Mathenys who lived in SE Washington. This is tedious but rewarding to see how the Mathenys were related and interacted with my ancestors. I have uploaded some pictures and documents. To find the trees look for Anna Matheny who married Hiram Smith Bishop and Ann W. Matheny who married J.D. Largent and Davis Wooton.

Keep up the good work!

Dorothy Coombs reading from “Into the Eye of the Setting Sun”

This is a story about traveling on the Oregon Trail.  The author traveled the Trail in 1843 as a child.  She was too young to keep a journal.  So when she was in her sixties she wrote of things she remembered about the trip.  It’s a good resource for anyone at any age studying the Oregon Trail and early Oregon.  It’s also an enjoyable and captivating story as Charlotte combines an impressive and detailed memory of her childhood perspective with commentary from the broader life view of an adult.
