MINNIE DUKE temporaries and those many years younger, continues her interest in life and the affairs of community and friends. A family of six chil dren, 14 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren has helped to keep her acquainted with the vital statistics of a somewhat scattered! group. At the time of her birth, the town of Lakcview did not exist. There were only a few home steaders in the area. Mrs. Duke's mother, Mrs. Nancy C. Myrtle, was the first white woman to set tie in Goose Lake Valley. She had crossed the plains with her par ents in 1852 and the family lo cated near Eugene. She was mar ricd to Horace Myrtle in 1869 and immediately thereafter the couple moved to a homestead north of Willow Ranch, now known the Carmen Fleming Ranch. They brought cattle and their teams over the old military road. It was there Minnie Myrtle was born, one of six children and the only one surviving. Her school days totaled three months out of the year in a little log school house at Crane Creek where the family moved in 1877 when her father bought a ranch from Bill Lowcry. The property is now owned and operated by the Leavitt family. About 1881, her father sold out and moved to the Willamette 'Valley where he died the following year. Mrs. Myrtle returned to Lakeview with her family and lived at Second and H streets North in a large two-story house which was destroyed by fire in the late 1930s. Minnie Myrtle was married to James Patrick Duke at Lakeview January 8, 1893 and they moved to a ranch in the Crane Creek area. Six children were born, Lera, now Mrs. C. F. Snider of Lakeview; Essie. Mrs. William W. Besson, South Egremont, Mas sachusetts: Ross E. Duke, Lake- view; Mildred, Mrs. John Arzner, Medford; Mary, Mrs. Victor G. Ilahncr, Lakeview and James P. Duke, Grants Pass. In 1920, Duke leased the ranch and bought the Charles Umbach property at F and Fourth streets North in Lakeview. There he ran a livery stable until poor health forced his retirement. He died on October 29, 1933. Dependoblo Coverage MAYFLOWER AUTO INSURANCE Reasonable Rates VERN W.
