Florence Courtney Melton was the sister of my great grandmother Sarah Jane Courtney Houk. The family moved several times. They started in Ohio, moved to Minnesota, to Iowa, and then in 1868 they moved to Oregon. My grand father was born in Lebanon, Oregon about 20 days after they arrived. My great grandparents stayed in Oregon, but the rest of the family relocated near Walla Walla, Washington.
