Carolyn Frost---GEORGE / YETTER / WASHER---August 5, 2000
Looking for information on Jeremiah Brenner George, Franklin B. Yetter and Willy Washer. I am inclined to believe that J.B. George and Franklin B. Yetter (brothers - in - law) might have had "timber claims" in South Bend at or around Smith Creek. They would have been in the area from about 1890 to 1904. My Grandfather Jeremiah Brenner George was in the South Bend area when his daughter Edna was born on 9/30/1891 at Smith Creek. I was told that he was involved in the leather business in some way. Both JB George and F.B.Yetter came to Smith Creek from Lake City, Iowa. I don't know where the Washer family fits into the scheme of things but I know that they were all in the Smith Creek area at about the same time. I would appreciate any information at all regarding these three families. Thank you. I can be reached by e-mail at celsiegf@home.com

Jean Tholkildsen---CARLSON, SWENSON (SWANSON)-Revised--Sun, Mar. 14,1999
Looking for grandparents Swen and Anna (Carlson) SWENSON who lived in Willapa in the 1870's-80's. They immigrated to Washington from Goteburg, Sweden, by way of California, sometime between 1877 and 1880. Their twin daughters Hilda and Matilda were born in CA, 1877. The 1880 census shows them in Willapa. Their son Carl John was born in Willapa. 19 May 1887. By 1889 they had emmigrated to Mexico before returning to California..I would welcome any information on land records you might encounter while doing deed searches, such as their being previous owners of your property, or owner of adjoining lands. The maximum time they would have been in Willapa was 1877-1889; the minimum time would have been 1880 to 1887.. jtcapricanw@netscape.net

Tom O'Neil---SALMON PUDDING---Thur. Feb. 4, 1999
This writer grew up in Tokeland in Pacific County. My query is not directly connected to genealogy, but Pacific County history. In reading a gazzateer of old businesses, I found something intriquing: In 1908, in Altoona there was a listing that read, "Columbia River Preserving Company, William Dixon, Pres., packers of Columbia River Salmon Pudding." Has any one ever heard of this product? tom21420@comcast.net Note:  Mr. O'Neil passed away in 2004.  Bruce Weilepp, Director, Pacific County Historical Society, adds, "I have heard of similar canned salmon products intended for "heat and serve" preparation from the early 20th Century.  Two books on early Columbia River canneries are planned for publication some time next year (2006).  The author, Irene Martin, has her own website now."
