Black and white image of three men standing in front of a square building with a large door open behind them. The gas pump in the left foreground of the image features a visible cylinder, enabling the purchaser to see just how much gas they were buying. The globe on the top advertises the name of the gasoline company, as does the logo on the side of the pump and the large 'Standard Products' logo painted on the building. 'Firestone' tires are also advertised by a sign to the right of the building. This photo was taken before 1930, before the garage was added to. Dave Ediger stands in the middle of the photo, between two Standard Oil representatives.

Sepia-toned image of a young man in a United States Navy uniform from World War I. The banner on his sailor cap states he served on the armored cruiser USS San Diego. Pulled from the Pacific fleet and assigned to escort merchant ships through the North Atlantic with the entry of the U. S. into World War I, the San Diego was struck by a German mine off the coast of New York States on July 19, 1918, sinking less than thirty minutes later, the only major U. S. warship to be lost in the first World War. Though born in Tillamook, Hawke's father, C. E. Hawke, was a physician with a general practice in Forest Grove.

Black and white image of an empty schoolroom. The date 'Nov. 24, 99' is written on the blackboard. Note the books piled on the teacher's desk, the globe, and the piano. The desks appear to be wood with metal sides and legs, and the seats are attached to the desks. The man in the picture above the blackboard is very likely the just-reelected President of the United States, William McKinley.

Three men and a women sitting around a table in what appears to be a bar with cigarettes and a pipe on the table. Two men are dressed as workmen and appear to be threatening the third man, who wears a suit and a captain's style hat. The woman leaning against him appears dressed to imitate a Roma person based on the coins, head scarf, and stylized hair pasted to her cheek. The movie was produced by J. J. Fleming Productions, a film studio that set up shop in Beaverton during the 1920s.

Black and white image of a family seated in a formal portrait studio. Samuel Walters was the first European American to claim land in the Cedar Mill area, and by marrying he gained even more land, since wives were allowed to claim anywhere from 160 to 320 acres in addition to that which their husbands already held. This provision in the Donation Land Claim Act meant that Oregon women were not only in high demand, but they married far younger than was typical for the times, most by the time they were 17, and some years earlier than that. (The national average age of marriage for women at this time was 20 to 21 years old.) In the 1870 census, Naomi Walters is listed as 17 years old with two sons, a three-year-old and a one-year-old, the two boys in this image. The younger child, Elial, died before the next census was taken in 1880. Naomi would have been approximately 18 or 19 in this image, and Samuel about 50 years old.
Black and white image of a couple. He is seated in a chair holding a pipe, while she stands next to him with one hand on his shoulder. Notice her tightly shaped bodice and the bustled skirt gathered at the back of her dress. Her dress also has velvet cuffs and a velvet collar, all typical of women's fashion styles in the late 1880s.
