Hello Dolores and Researchers,

This is what I find in Growth of Lake Co. OR book:

Jim Young p. 60, Jim Young had a water power mill t Cottonwood where the dam
is now. There was a ditch on the hillside. When the wter became low they had
to wait for more water to come into the ditch. They could only work half a
day at time because of lack of water.

Jim Young p. 68 In a list of sawmills 1900-1924, Jim Young is listed under
the date of 1909.

Jim Young, Sr. and Jr. p. 56 Jim Young, Sr. was in charge of construction of
the new mill. The mill began operation in the spring of 1907 with Elmer
Rinehart as manager. Jim Young, Sr. was sawyer and his son Jim was setter.
George Lynch was timber faller and log cutter George Downs was offbearer in
the mill until June 1907, when he was involved in an accident which cut off
the three middle fingers of his left hand. He returned to work 10 days after
the accident. R.S. Downs was camp cook.

Josephine Young, p. 108 Under list of teachers for Ana River School District
No. 25, it lists her as 1920 Miss Josephine Young resigned her school at
Summer Lake.

Loren Young p. 91 There is a picture of Loren with other members of the
Lakeview Fire Deprtment (June 1965). (I could scan it and send it by
personal e-mail if anyone wants it.)

Virgil K. Young, p. 33 There is an article about the history of the Elliott
and McDonald Barber Shop which changed hands many times and had many people
who worked there. It states that Virgil K. Young, born Lakeview 3/18/1906
Died 4/14/1956. He worked for Elliott and McDonald earlier. In 1956, worked
for Harvey Stanley in his barber shop.

Hope this has been of help. If you need me to check marriage records or
cemetery records in Lake Co. let me know.
