This is the latest news, hot off the press!
Do you want this category Diane? If so is this in the proper location on the page? Also same question about the heading on the right navigation column.
Its not quite there yet, but there comes a point where a webpage is too long, i.e. requires too much scrolling, there should be additional pages instead.
If you have thoughts there, let me know.
Join the car caravan that departs at 12 p.m. from the Apple Warehouse (130 East 3rd Avenue, Kettle Falls) and travel the narrated route. Classic and « hot » cars are welcome ! Download the booklet in advance, and follow the driving instructions from stop to stop on the route.
In December 1911, here at the Meyers Falls Depot, you would have seen Henry and Cora Michael along with their first seven children finishing a nearly two-hundred-mile journey from Chicago.
Many family members are buried at the Garden Valley Cemetery. If you get a chance to look around, see if you can find the Michael name, but also look for Reed, Foster, Staehly, and Dodd.
Henry and Cora Michael’s children Reeda, Jon, Ina, Fred, Ethel, Jay, Minnie, and Orin would have all gone to Stony Acres School #19. By 1955, their grandchildren Willard Michael, Genevieve Michael, Jon Michael, Albert Staehly, Ray Staehly, Fred N. Michael, Evelyn Michael, Delmar Ralph Foster, Deon Foster, Larry Foster, Leo Fuller, Cora Jean Fuller, Billy Michael, Danny Michael, and Rob Michael would also have all spent some of their school years here.
Download the audio tracks in advance, and coordinate the listening with the introduction, early history, and stops given in the booklet.
