Notes compiled by Liberta Brown on early settler life near Forest Grove
-
Description
-
These notes compiled by Liberta Brown Schoch discuss pioneer life in the Forest Grove area of Oregon. She tells family stories about the arrival of the Orus Brown family in the Tualatin Plains; the Geiger Family land claim; the first buildings on the Orus Brown claim; recollections about crossing the Oregon Trail; and other details. The notes appear to have been based on the recollections of another Brown family member, perhaps one of Liberta's aunts or cousins.
Liberta was the great granddaughter Tabitha Moffatt Brown, who helped found Tualatin Academy and is known as the 'Mother of Oregon.' Liberta graduated from Tualatin Academy in 1899, received her Master's degree in Education at Columbia University, and married Alfred Diehl Schoch.
