Morrow County Queries

To make your query work harder for you include as many of the following things as possible:

  • WHO: State the names of people as completely as you can.
  • WHAT: Try to limit your query to one or two specific events or bits of information. Post another one or more later with additional questions rather than load all your questions into one. In this way each of your questions will stand out and get attention.
  • WHEN: Dates are important, if you don't know the day, month and year try to put in a period (1790's, late 1800's etc.)
  • WHERE: Mention Morrow County in the body of the query. Include a more specific location if you can.
  • WHY, HOW: Do you know a little more that will identify your Morrow County family and help us to help you? Make your query as interesting as you can.

My name is Patrick Craney, I am writing to you in regards to the genealogy of my wife’s grandmother. My wife'€™s family name is Shaw, her grandmother'€™s name was Dorothy Mae Gosney. My mother in law recently told me that Dorothy Mae was born in Heppner. Dorothy Mae married Cyril Glenalton Shaw in 1918 (in Clatsop County), so I am thinking she was born around 1900 + or - a few years. I have been unable to find any information on Dorothy Mae'€™s family. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

   My wife's great grandfather was Thomas Jefferson TEETERS. His wife was Martha Jackson Teeters. We know Thomas lived in and around the Arlington area in the 1800s and 1900s, and he and Martha and family were residing in Walla Walla at the time of the 1880 census, where his occupation is listed as "engineer." Further, we have found both their graves in the cemetery at Arlington.
   I just came across a death notice that ran in the January 9, 1899 Portland newspaper, reporting the death of Mrs. T.J. Teeters, wife of Postmaster Teeters of Castle Rock. The notice states Mrs. Teeters was a resident of Castle Rock for 15 years, and that her body had been removed to Arlington for burial.
   We had never ever heard or read of Thomas Teeters being postmaster at Castle Rock, but this death notice almost certainly relates to him and to his wife Martha. It is a giant step forward for my wife and her cousins in their quest for information about this branch of their family. Can you point me in the direction of local Morrow County resources that might verify and enlarge upon this new-found clue? I did find an article on the GenWeb page that listed post offices in the county, and when they were established and who their first postmaster was; but T.J. Teeters probably was not the first postmaster at Castle Rock, and he is not mentioned in the article. Any help will be truly appreciated.

I am trying to locate the burial place(s) for the following people who died in Morrow County, Oregon:
Tillman HOGUE
Norah Agnes Hogue (nee Brannon)

Reba GRABILL (nee Hogue)
Robert Grabill.
Please send an email to me if you know where these individuals are buried.

Names: GRABILL/GRABEEL David H. GRABILL and wife Julia and children Willard, Thomas E., Archie T., Orin (among others.) came to Ione, OR in 1883. Thomas' wife Ida lived into her 100's (1980's) in the Ione area. I assume that there still would be some descendants of these GRABILL's around the Ione - Heppner area. I found references to them in the Heppner newspaper archives. My question is was it known to the GRABILLs if the GRABEELs were cousins?? I know that Ransom Russell GRABEEL is buried in the same Cem. as Tomas E. GRABILL--the High View Cem. in Ione. I am a descendant of David H. GRABILL's brother Jacob Andrew (or Andrew Jacob-it goes back in forth), from Harrison Co., MO. I think that David and Jacob's Grandfather was Jacob GRABEEL from Lee Co, VA. Ransom Russel GRABEEL is the son of Jacob GRABEEL's son Andrew GRABEEL*. Which is why I want to know if it was known or thought that the two families were related. I don't know when Ransom Russel GRABEEL died but they had a son that died in Feb. 1905 buried in the same cemetery, so the two families would have been in Ione at the same time.
     *New information: (On my May 6, 2008 query), I listed Ransom Russell GRABEEL's father as Andrew when it was actually Isaac GRABEEL also as to Ransom Russell GRABEEL's grave site I have since found out that he is not actually buried in Ione that it's just a grave marker. I believe he is buried in a Portland, OR cemetery. His son David is buried there, however.
I would love to hear from anyone with a connection to this family!

September 25, 2006 Joyce Quinlin Gray
I have been researching the history of my father's family who made their home in Irrigon, Oregon, from approximately 1903 to 1906/07. In reading thru copies of the newspaper, Irrigon Oregon Irrigator, I found many mentions of the family concerning their activities, business, and what was going on in their personal lives. However, in reading the website for the history of Morrow County, particularly the page giving information on the early days, people, and businesses of Irrigon, I see no mention of my family, and feel that they should also be included. My great-grandparents were John and Eliza QUINLIN, who moved from Moscow, Idaho to Irrigon in 1905. Their children were Joseph, George, Philip, Lorena, Margaret and Bessie. Joseph, Philip, George Quinlin owned the butcher shop in Irrigon in 1904 thru 1906. In 1904, Joseph Quinlin was referred to the as the "jolly butcher". I am not certain where the butcher shop was located in Irrigon at that time. In 1905, the barber shop was "removed" to Mr. Bower's building on Railroad Street, the butcher shop was the moved into that space by the owners of the building, the Quinlin Brothers. Lorena Quinlin then opened a restaurant adjoining the butcher shop. In an article of February 21, 1906, it is mentioned that Mr. and Mrs. Claude Baty will be keeping house in the Quinlin building, and using the front room as his barber shop. Other articles mention two of the children attending school, Maggie and Bessie Quinlin, and the fact that Mrs. Quinlin belonged to the Ladies Aid Society. I have written to the Baptist Church in Irrigon, trying to locate any existing church records for the early 1900's, but the letter came back, undeliverable. I have sent a letter in care of the post master, hoping it could be delivered to the church, and heard nothing.
    If you have any suggestions where i might locate plat records, church records, any existing records of the early businesses (I was told by the family that the Quinlin Brothers also ran the slaughterhouse that supplied beef to the railroad camps), any record of the restaurant, the Quinlin building, school records, old photos - I would very much appreciate your help. I have written to the Morrow County Historical Society, but that is another letter that has gone unanswered.

My father and uncle during their childhood, were good friends of the MOORE family in Morrow/Gilliam County Oregon. The children were Josephine Moore, Brian Moore, Mary Moore, and Lee Moore. The family later moved to Milton Freewater, Oregon. I have photographs taken circa 1917 of this family. I would like to send these photographs to descendants.  Jack DAVIS and his wife and her sister, Nina lived in the area of Morrow/Gilliam County Oregon. They owned Fairview and farms all over the area. They gave a family picture to my grandmother, Hattie Logan. I would like to mail this original photo to descendants. Please contact me at ljmasters at networld dot com. 
     Among my family photographs are two 5x7 woodcuts of either candidates or elected officials likely officers in Gilliam or Morrow County Oregon. They are John T. DANIEL, County Clerk and Josh B. THOMAS Deputy County Clerk. These probably would have been men serving possibly as early as the 1890's and before 1920.  If you can establish that you are a descendant of either of these men, I will send you the appropriate woodcut. Please e-mail me at ljmasters at networld dot com.

I'm trying to find information on a J. K. CARR of Morrow County, Oregon, whose baby died in the Heppner flood of June 14, 1903. A stained glass window in the Episcopal church in Heppner, Morrow County, Oregon, says "In loving memory of Lilias, infant daughter of J. K. and F. S. Carr - Baptized into Jesus through the flood - June 1903. a matching window opposite this says, "A thank offering to God for signal mercies, June 14 1903, G. C. & L. C." Mr. J. K. Carr was named as the builder of a new home in Heppner in a July 2, 1903 newspaper article.

I recently received obituary of Matilda CatherineMcCRAW from the Heppner Gazette Times.  It stated that she was buried at the Masonic Cemetery in Heppner next to "the grave of Mr. McCraw who died in 1914".  My family records show that he was buried in Carroll County, VA.  Does anyone know for sure if he is really buried in the Masonic Cemetery?  I am also looking for information on their two sons, Jacob Allen (d. 1912) and Green Waller (d. 1927), who are also buried in the same cemetery. Thank you.

I am a former student of the Lexington , Oregon, schools. I attended grades one through nine there, finishing the ninth grade in 1943. My father was John J. MILLER, uncle of Tad Miller, who still lives in Morrow Co. My mother lives in Portland, Oregon, and will be 100 years old in October 2001. We are having a reunion in Portland in August. Anyone who might remember my mother can contact Tad and Melba to send her birthday greetings if they wish to do so.
    I just found your website today and have enjoyed reading the account of the Heppner flood. I remember our teacher, Mrs. Lillian Turner, telling us about it and the heroic ride of Leslie Matlock. I think I had a classmate in the early grades named Juanita Matlock.
    The names of my brothers and sister are as follows: John J. Miller, Jr. (Jack) , whose widow and two children all live in Seattle. Roberta Miller Matches (that's me). I now live in Lubbock, Texas. My husband, Dr. Arthur Gerald (Jerry) Matches , is an emeritus professor at Texas Tech Univ. where he was the first holder of the Thornton chair in the Department of Plant and Soil Science for 13 years, after working for the USDA in Missouri for 20 years. Marjory Miller Stanley lives in Friday Harbor, San Juan Island, WA. Bill Miller lives in Portland. Harry Miller lives in Portland. Kenneth Miller lives in Beaver Creek, Oregon.
    I found it interesting that C. A. Rhea had married the granddaughter of the founder of Kirksville, Mo., since our second child, Dr. Sarah Matches , attended college there at N. E. Missouri State (now renamed Truman State). She is now a pediatrician in Ft. Worth. Our older daughter is a physical therapist in Phoenix, and our son is an analytical chemist in Kansas City.
    Each of our children has two children, making 5 boys and only l girl.
    I have many happy memories of Morrow County, particularly 4H club activities and the train ride to 4H summerschool in Corvallis.
    I lived in Corvallis for a time before I married, working as the secretary to the business manager of Oregon State Univ. for four years. I left after my husband was drafted and sent to Germany, and went to join him in Heidelberg . Went from there to West Lafayette, Indiana, where he went to school at Purdue; from there to New Mexico for a year and then to Missouri and Texas.
    My regards to any of the old Lexington "Jackrabbits" who may remember me.

I recently found an Oregon Death Index listing on Ancestry.com that concerns an Emil MARQUARDT who died in Morrow County November 25, 1939. This record says it is from certificate number 42, and identifies his spouse as Helen. Can you get more info on Emil Marquardt for me? I'm especially interested in knowing if he was born in or around Wisconsin, and if there are any surviving children listed (looking in particular for a son Roger, though he would have been from an earlier marriage so might not be listed).
    This would be a great help to me -- so far my Emil has been a mystery, but his son Roger was in Oregon in the late 30s, so it's possible that Emil was there, too, and not in Wisconsin like I thought!   Thank you for your help,

I am seeking information regarding Sarah PERKINS Piggott.  She is buried in High View Cemetery, Ione, Morrow, OR (in plot with Florence B. Sipes).  Her years of birth and death are 1859-1936. 
    Sarah PERKINS Piggott was the daughter of Joshua Carter Perkins and Sarah COOPER Perkins, born in Letcher KY in 1856.  She was the sister of Highly PERKINS Perkins of Taylor, Loup, Nebraska and William and John Amos PERKINS of Roy, Pierce County, Washington.  All predeceased her. Seeking any information regarding her and/or her descendents.  Sarah's sister, Highly PERKINS Perkins, was my great-grandmother.  Sarah PERKINS was married to James H. SMOUSE who died 21 April 1884. She then married William H. Piggott, who died in 1890.  Sarah, and her children, were in Lillian, Custer, NE in the 1900 census.  Then she came to Washington, and then Morrow, OR about 1902. Her children were Henry Vincent Smouse, Daisy Smouse, Florence B. Piggott, and Howard Piggott.  I would like to contact anyone who may be researching and/or interested in Sarah PERKINS Smouse Piggott.

I am looking for any information you may have on CLARENCE LEROY ANDREWS (1862-1948), IDA B. ANDREWS (1872-1903), MABLE ANDREWS (1891-1903), VASHTI ANDREWS (1893-1903), and ANNE CLARE ANDREWS (1889-1903).
   Andrews obituary in the Eugene Register Guard from April 19, 1948 states: "Mr. Andrews was elected first county clerk of Morrow County at the age of 22, and three years later married Miss Ida SWAGGERT of Heppner, Ore.  She and their three children were drowned in the Heppner flood of 1903."  Here the math is a bit off, because he would have actually been 24-years-old. Andrews' own biography states: "In 1886 I was elected as County Clerk and Clerk of the Court in the county,
and remained in that position for four years."
   However, two autobiographical sketches he wrote (circa 1935) do not mention ever being married to Ida Swaggert or losing his family in the flood.  In fact,  he writes that "In 1890 I returned to Seattle and entered the County Auditor's office, working up in grades till I was the chief deputy and  accountant of in King County in 1895-96."  His record then shows that he worked in Sikta, Alaska as a US Customs Agent in August of 1897, was sent to Skagway on January 23, 1899 and was there till 1904 when he was transferred to Eagle till 1909.  If you have any information on Andrews, Ida Swaggert or the children, I would greatly appreciate help.

His wife's name was Maude who is buried at the Heppner cemetery.  My father's name was Richard W. Robison. He was born on 3/16/1919 and passed away on 3/13/1977. He is buried at the Heppner cemetery. His wife's name was Cecelia (CARTY) who just recently passed away on 1/6/2001.  I have a brother, Leland (Dick) Robison who was a barber in Heppner from the early 60's through the early 70's.

My Great-Grandfather lived just outside of Heppner and is in the 1895 census -- Cyrus LEYDA. Most of his children were married at Heppner -- including Minnie Leyde, who was married to James Willis. James and their two children, Fred and Frank, perished in the flood.  Minnie died a few years later in Moscow , Idaho of wounds she received in the flood -- it lists a
gash to her thigh in the reports.
    The reports also list that she lost her clothes, ended up under a train, then at a warehouse where she got some sacks to wear. It also states that her baby was not harmed -- I have no record of a child surviving and would be interested in finding out if there is more information on that report and where it came from.
