The Berries that Changed History We live in an area that appears to remain unchanged as we go about our daily activities traveling the area. We have a tendency to take for granted what we see around us. Did you ever wonder how certain plants got here that you know were not indigenous to the area? Some blackberries are native to the area and some are from foreign sources. In Wahkiakum and Pacific counties blackberries are as much a part of the view as the Columbia River, these twisting brambles a...

Ghosts of Grays River: The Jesse Baker Jr. Saga, Part II Grays River has been home to some of the most illustrious people who for the most part have become unknown to but a few. This all changed for me, a relative newcomer who by nature is curious. Finding the Walker home's partial history led to the discovery of the abandoned Walker Cemetery and the lost graves of the Baker family who became the ghosts of Grays River. It is almost impossible to understand what goes through the mind of a man...

Ghosts of Grays River: The Jesse Baker Jr. Saga Part I Near the corner of State Route 4 West and North Hull Creek Road sits the oldest home in Grays River built around 1870 by Samuel Walker. The grass is close to four feet high in places, hiding this 150 year old home. It would be wonderful to see this home restored and put to use as a historical landmark. I find it comical and yet a bit sad that there is a heritage sign in front of the house that refers to the Meserve Park but says nothing...

A Wedding for the Ages When was the last time you were invited to a wedding in which you did not know either the bride or groom? Ron Relethford and Laura Knight, both 62, from the Seattle area placed an ad in The Wahkiakum County Eagle inviting the public to attend their wedding at Meserve Park on Saturday and the reception following at Duffy's Irish Pub. This was something I had never heard of. Why? It doesn't matter, I'm going. I met the couple and they agreed to allow me to share their story...

Lost Treasure Hidden in Plain Sight I love to do research into the history of the area, and I get surprised by the amount of information that leads to new discoveries for me. This gives me insights as to who, what, when, where, and why the area is the way it is. I have started on many stories only to get sidetracked by something I feel would best benefit the readers as well as my editor. As a result my stories take on a more personal feel so the history comes alive again. While researching for...
