Cora Ann Butler Sanderson's home(duplex) on 9th Street in Corvallis, Oregon.I recently found a photo album of my Great Grandmother Cora Ann Butler. Sanderson More about Cora's birth etc. will be found in earlier blogs. During this time it appears that she must have lived in Corvallis. I'm not sure when she moved there.
Grandma Maysel and Grandpa Dick were married June 14, 1918. It was right after their graduation from Oregon State College.
Grandpa worked as a professor at Oregon State College - but sometime during that time he was shipped off to war as a part of a Calvary Troop in the Army. On his way to war - the ship turned around and he returned home as the war was over.
I know that he worked at Oregon State College - I'm not sure of how long. Then, he and Grandma Maysel bought a farm in Lakeview, Oregon where my Mom was born in 1923.
It could be that during the time that Grandma and Grandpa were in Corvallis that Great Grandmother Sanderson (Cora Ann Butler Sanderson) bought a home there to be close to them.
Interesting note - I know that Great Grandmother Sanderson was in Klamath Falls during the time Grandpa Dick went to war as Grandma Maysel returned home; took her maiden name; and taught Home Economics at the High School. As a married lady she would not have been able to teach.
She also involved the girls in making care packages and bandages for the soldiers.
Now - for the photo album.
