The home she was born in no longer stands. This was taken in the general area of where the old homestead stood. The present owner was nice enough to take us down where he thought the home was but after we left grandma said that was the neighbors house!
Grandma and her siblings and friends would roll their Easter Eggs off this hill for fun!
This was one of the farms that Grandpa Graves leased. It is now used for the oil industry.
Meacham's cabin. The Meacham's were close friends with the Graves'. This home stands less than a mile away from where Grandma lived. She remembers riding her horse down to their place all the time. She also recalls the home being much larger when she was a child! When Grandma was seven she went to San Diego with her mom, sister, and younger siblings while her Dad and older brothers loaded the wagons and left for Oregon. The Meacham family went to Oregon with them. Grandma attended the 3rd Grade in San Diego and then her sister took them to southeast Oregon to meet up with the rest of the family. From there she remembers riding the horse until they would come to a town. The she would get off and ride in the wagon because she was to embarrassed. They finally settled in a few different places near Portland.
