Black and white toned image of a man wearing overalls and a hat standing behind a two-horse team pulling a harrow through a field. Hills rise in the background, just beyond a plowed field. The photo was donated by Ella Garrigus, and the man is probably her husband, Orval Hutchens, or one of his family members.
Sepia-toned image of a group of older students, standing on the front steps of a school building. Most of the girls wear their hair gathered loosely back and up, while the boys have long bangs and their hair parted over to one side. Most also wear suits; the young women wear white shirts and dark skirts, and some have ties. Many wear large ribbons in their hair. Ella (Garrigus) Hutchens stands at the far left of the first row.
Sepia-toned image of a group of young women with an older woman and one man. The young women all wear dark dresses with white or lace collars, and many wear ties or ribbons at the neck. Their hair is parted in the middle and pulled back; all the women wear their hair up. Some sit on the ground. Ella Garrigus Hutchens, is seated second from the left in the front row. Ms. Hutchens was a long time resident of the area.
Sepia-toned image of a group of students arranged in front of their school. The girls almost exclusively wear their hair in short bobs, and their skirts and dresses are also short. Their teacher stands at the back of the group. Dilley School was one of the first schools in the area, founded in 1860.
Black and white image of a biplane landing in a field. The pilot is just visible in the back seat, and the tail does not appear to be touching the ground. Trees and a small, gabled house appear in the background. This image was included in a group of images featuring Myrtle and August Blassing, long-time Washington County residents.
Black and white image of two children digging on the beach. Arch Rock is visible in the background. One boy wears knickers and a jacket; the other appears to wear a heavy coat over bare legs. Both are wielding shovels as they dig holes, racing what appears to be an incoming tide. This image was included in a group of images featuring Myrtle and August Blassing, long-time Washington County residents. Many of the photos include two young boys; most likely these are the same two children, enjoying a moment on the beach.
A photograph of August and Myrtle Blassing Family with two children and another woman, next to a loaded cart. This photograph probably dates to around 1910.
August Blassing was born in Baden, Germany in 1876, and came to the Unites States in 1891. Myrtle Brown Blassing was born in Iowa. They came to Oregon sometime in the early 1900s, and settled in Hillsboro, Washington County, Oregon before World War I.
The Blassings are standing on steps leading up to what appears to be a loading platform, next to a cart piled high with baggage, chests, and rolled bundles. 'Myrtle' and 'August' stand in back. A power pole stands upright in the background.
Black and white image of two women, a child, and a man, seated on a stump in the forest. The women wear blouses and skirts, and at least one wears an apron. The child's face is blurred, and the man sits behind the women, leaning and looking over one woman's head. 'Myrtle' is written on the picture, indicating the woman on the left of the image.
