of Mrs. Lewis F. Wilson, of Corval
lis. She was the daughter of Mary
K. Thornton, a niece of J. Quinn v,
Thornton, after whom Thornton
Lake, across the river from Albany,
was named. Her father started in
Oregon by working in the Richard

moving to Corvallis she went to the
M. E. South college, now the O. A.
C. Her chum was Frances Avery,
who married Geo. R. Helm, a promi
nent Albany lawyer, known as the
lion oi sAnn. She was married when
eighteen, which was rather old those
days. She saw one b-ide who was not
yet twelve. In those days a woman
of forty was "aunty," and at fifty
"granny." Now at 70 they are wear
ing laverdar ?nd white.
