LIBERTY, Feb. 4---Many developments have taken place in the
Liberty area, in the recent years, yet some of the territory looks about
the same today as it did in 1888. ! S
In the southern area, the chief crop was wheat, as it is in small
trains today even though prune
the wheat land. The area irom
Skyline road was all in fir tim
ber. It was cut by W. D. Mr thews.
He would climb the tree and fast
en a cable on it, then by the means
of a capsule and winch and horse
power it was grubbed out. It was
then stacked and burned.
Sonie Houses Still Stand
Ini 1888, there were six houses
between Salem and what is now
Rosedale. Some of the houses still
- stand. The old Ewald place burn
ed down a few years ago. Those
still to be seen are the Mize place
on Liberty road, Pat Murphy
home on the corner of Skyline and
Liberty roadr Jake Dunlap place
V where the Martin Presslers live,
the Arthur Winch place where Mr.
and Mrs. Roy Mercer reside.
(Johnny Thomas house is on a
cross road and is not located on
the Liberty road).
Mr. and Mrs. Grant Teter live
in Teter's ; father's, the Ruben
Teter place' on Liberty road. Ru
ben Teter moved to" Salem with
his family in 1888, from Hutchin
pon, Kansas. Grant attended the
first Liberty school which stood
on the south end of the school
property. It had two rows of seats
in it, two windows on each side,
a door in the front and a black
board in the back. Nineteen pupils
attended. '
Teachers Always Wins
Grant tells of the time he was
sitting between two girls, Minnie
Timnv-and Luc Dencer, and they
i were thirsty.. The girls nelped him
out of the window and he got
them a drink. When he was ready
to come in the school again, the
teacher, Alvin Smith, opened the
door, took the extra cup of water,
, thanked him. and said "you may
take your seat."
In this school the old Liberty
bell hung. It rang to call the chil
dren to school, and it tolled for
funerals, which also were held in
that building.
In 1908, the present school was
built, and the bell was moved to
the school belfry where it rang
faithfully for years.
The school now has a buzzer
system and the bell has been giv
en to the Liberty Christian Church
of Christ at Liberty. There it will
continue to ring, to call both
young and old to services!
Roads Once Mad Trails
The roads once were only mud
trails. Farmers hauled rock in
spring wagons from the stone
quarry In the Salem Heights area,
which is now the property of Dr.
and Mrs. Fred Burger. A road bed
was finally made. A trolley was
, drawn by horses, and went as far
as the cemetery. In about 1908
It went to the Salem Heights
school.
The Liberty area extended to
the top of the Rosedale hill. In the
early 1900s, the Oregon Land Co.
laid out the Rosedale district in
plots of ground of 5 to 30 acres,
and planted it in orchards.
Some plots were planted in
prunes and some in cherries. A
large barn was built to hold 40
rt horses. Men were hired to culti--
vate the young orchards, and the
pay went as payment on the tract
of lands. ;
' v A petition was circulated and
a boundary for Rosedale estab
lished. There, Hope chapel was
built for worship.
The Liberty postof f ice" was first
In the Zosel place on route 9. t
belonged, then to Jim Lawrence.
He was the first postmaster. It
was moved later to the old Lib
erty store. Some residents of the
area still have postmarks from the
Liberty postoffice.
Many Businesses m
Many business came to the dis
trict as it built up. The cannery
of Liberty was first an old prune
dryer, then a small canning plant.
Rolland Jory packed there for
many years, as the Jory Packing
company. In 1942, it became a co
years of careful cultivation, without which
the beauty of this orchid would still be
unknown. Likewise, many years of re
search and professional skill form "the
background of this institution. -

The area covered by the cannery
comprises Linn, Yamhill, polk,
MaTion and Washington counties.
The membership is 450, and in the
busy season the cannery employs
about 500 workers.
The Charles Kraugers operated
a store at Liberty 'for many years.
They started in 1930, and six years
later sold the building to the Red
Hills Grange. In 1936, they built
their own store and it now is oper
ated by Mr, and Mrs. Joe Vanek.
The Goodman Concrete Burial
Vault company started in this area
in 1944. It is a branch of the Port
land division and is operated by
Dewey McAlpin. r
Several Fur Farms I
The fur farms started in this
area years ago. Now, there is the
Stacey Fur farm, Ronne Fur farm,
Whelan Fur farmland the Moun
tain View Fur farm. Many differ
ent types of mink are being raised.
Nearly 3000 mink are pelted every
year. ;
The Browning Amusement com
pany, organized in 1909, is owned
by William Browning. The Brown
ing Brothers Amusement com
pany, started in 1926, has been
operated by Fred and Ed Brown
ing. Due to ill health, Fred re
signed from the business last year.
These companies operate indi
vidually, but have used the same
warehouse here since 1937. I
The Liberty Christian Church of
Christ was dedicated in July of
1949. The Rev. Elery Parrish is the
pastor.
A rural fire district now has
been organized to include the Lib
erty and Salem Heights area. The
fire house is located on 12th and
highway 99E. Training for; vol
unteer firemen is now in progress.
Now Has Many Clubs
The community has many clubs,
including the community club, the
Red Hills Grange, the Liberty
Woman's club, the Liberty Moth
ers club, Garden club, Girl Scout
troop 51 and Brownie troop 112.
Croisan creek is one of the nic
est districts, with lovely homes.
Youngsters enjoy dropping a fish
line in the stream, (although not
too much is caught.)
Many deer are still seen roam
ing the hills in the Liberty; area.
AncTusually they are welcome.
