Title

Nellie Walker talk on early Forest Grove

Description

An audio recording of a talk by Nellie Walker on early Forest Grove, possibly given at a meeting of the Tualatin Plains Historical Society in the late 1970s or early 1980s. Nellie Walker was a descendant of Elkanah and Mary Richardson Walker, who emigrated to the Oregon Territory as missionaries in 1838. Nellie recalls memories of Forest Grove in the late 1800s passed down from Mary Richardson Walker, and her own memories of Forest Grove from the early 1900s. Topics include the Forest Grove Indian School, changing land use patterns, the arrival of electricity, telephones and automobiles, picnics at Naylor Grove and juvenile delinquency, including the burning of the local Chinese laundry. The recording begins approximately halfway through the talk; the first half is missing. This recording is accompanied by a transcript.
