By the mid-1910s, most of the Rogue Valley had both telephone service and electricity. This desk phone, made of bakelite, featured a rotary dial and a large cloth-covered cord that plugged into the outlet. Jackson County residents directed their long distance calls through an operator until the early 1960s. </div>

L. Edwards was the first documented person to spend the winter at Crater Lake National Park. "Eleven Feet of Snow at Crater," published in the Mail Tribune on February 5, 1916, described how Edwards spent a "lonesome" winter there, leaving only a handful of times. He may have used these snowshoes for his few trips out to Fort Klamath. Can you imagine a winter with only snowshoes for transportation?!</span></div>

The "Golden Age" of bicycling in the 1890s saw a sudden and unprecedented rise in bicycling across the United States. Urban streets and country lanes alike were filled with men and women riding these new contraptions for leisure, health, and transportation. This Columbia Model 45 safety bicycle was owned by Medford photographer R. V. Beall Jr. Manufactured by the Pope Manufacturing Company in Hartford, CT in 1898, this bicycle was designed for a man, show by its high crossbar, while a ladies bicycle would feature a dropped frame to allow her to wear long skirts while riding.<br />

It's referred to as a "Peace Flask" because the embossed image, while worn here, features a pair of clasped hands surrounded by stars. The Peace Flask design was first manufactured in 1844 and reproduced in 1847 and 1857, and many American troops carried them in the Mexican-American War and the Civil War.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>This particular flask was found in a cabin on the James Martin and Ed Tucker farm, near Brownsboro in the Lake Creek area, and a U.S. soldier may have used it in the Rogue River area.</span><br />

This dye cabinet boasts that "It's easy to dye with Diamond Dyes." An
image of a woman cleanly and gracefully dyeing brilliantly colored
fabric supports this claim. Another dye cabinet, made by the same
company, instead featured an image of girls, boys, and women dancing
with brightly colored fabrics. [1] What do these two images say about
advertising techniques and class differences?<br />

<br />Talk about conspicuous consumption! With feet allowing this dinner bell to rest on the table, those using it wouldn't even have to lift it. Simply and daintily tap the rod, and the bell would chime, summoning servants to the table. Representing Victorian excessiveness and a desire to display wealth, this dinner bell is one of many objects created for a single and specific use. Etched with the initials "M. L. R.", its original owner was Mary Louis Ross, rumored to be the first white girl born in Jacksonville.

Wedding pictures and certificates were made available from the Research Library. The library has 2,897 original marriage certificates. Some are simple handwritten notes while others are very fancy documents written in beautiful script.<br /><br />One of the weddings featured was that of L. O. Walker and his lovely bride, Millie Pearl Hodges. They were married in Jacksonville, Oregon December 14, 1916. A couple of pages of Millie's diary (called a Daylogue) were copied and transcribed by the membership director, Joanna Loops.<br /><br />It read as follows:<br />"Dec. 14-Married to-day at 12 o'clock to L.O. Walker at Jacksonville by Rev. Roft Hutchison, Methodist Minister. Papa took us all to Med and we stopped on our way home at Eva's also. [sic] studio had pictures taken. L.O. and I over to Davidson's this eve-still packing. Letters from Aunt Minnie & Metta.<br />Letters to Metta, Nora, also a piece of cake to Nora. We got home at 2pm.<br />Letter to Aunt Minnie.<br />Wore my blue suit-a bunch of violets. Hattie made the cake. We had dinner about two. Just mama, the girls, and Ralph to the wedding."<br />Millie had inserted a violet from her wedding bouquet between the pages ... that's a very dry pressed flower. . .<br />You can view the entire newsletter on our website: <a href="http://www.sohs.org/">www.sohs.org</a>SOHS Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18116497629049026926noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8441440212985526299.post-63913993981240418902011-07-18T11:59:00.000-07:002011-07-18T13:34:28.604-07:00Wine, Cheese and Dirt - An Archaelogical PresentationThis past Saturday, 75 people enjoyed a fascinating evening of archaelogical research relating to the pivotal moments in the Rogue Indian Wars at Hanley Farm in Central Point, Oregon.<br />Dr. Paul Baxter and Dr. Brian O'Neill discussed <em>The Harris Cabin Massacre</em>:<br />the spark that ignited the Rogue Indian Wars and Dr. Mark Tveskov presented a program on <em>The Search for the Battle</em> <em>of Hungry Hill</em>.

Farmers and business owners from all over Southern Oregon gathered that day to form a new company to build a wagon road across the Cascade Mountains to Central Oregon. Mining was declining in Southern Oregon and new markets were badly needed. The John Day gold fields were just getting started and would provide that market. The meeting was a great success with $800 raised and D. D. Munger [MUNG-gur] hired to manage the location and construction of the road.<br /><br /><div>But the U.S. Army built the wagon road instead, because Fort Klamath needed supplies from the Rogue Valley. Capt. Sprague and 20 men of Company 1, First Oregon Volunteers, spent the next three years surveying and building a military road across the Cascades a few miles south of Crater Lake that joined the road to Jacksonville. </div><br /><div>Renewed prosperity came to Southern Oregon when the military road was finished in 1866. Heavy freight wagons, along with miners, and herds of cattle, sheep and pigs, used the road from Jacksonville to Central Oregon.</div><br /><div>Later, better roads replaced the military road, which was abandoned. </div><br /><div>Originally written <span class="subheadlinetext">January 26, 2009</span>, for the JPR program, <a href="http://ijpr.org/Feature.asp?FeatureID=1145"><span style="font-style: italic;">As It Was</span></a>.<br /></div><br /><strong>Sources:</strong><br />Oregon Intelligencer, June 20, 1863; “Discovery and Exploration of Crater Lake: 1853-1885”, Crater Lake National Park Administrative History, <a href="http://www.nps.gov/archive/crla/adhi/adhi1a.htm">http://www.nps.gov/archive/crla/adhi/adhi1a.htm</a>SOHS Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18116497629049026926noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8441440212985526299.post-47663162919227051152011-06-17T13:37:00.000-07:002011-06-28T09:28:41.568-07:001906, Three Men Die in Gold Mine Explosion Near Jacksonville<span class="headlinetext"></span><span style="font-style: italic;">By Dennis M. Powers</span><p> A newspaper story in January 1906 called a deadly explosion at the Opp Mine near Jacksonville, Ore., “one of the most serious accidents in the history of Southern Oregon mining.”<br /><br />Located on Reservoir Road close to Highway 238 and the town of Jacksonville, the Opp Mine ran deep with 12 ledges of golden veins. A nearby 20-stamp mill crushed the ore. Three men lost their lives in the explosion between 5 and 6 p.m. on a Wednesday afternoon. The nightshift came on duty and discovered the bodies.<br /><br />The three miners were working inside a tunnel with a machine drill and had driven 18 holes into the hard rock. One was already loaded with powder. The procedure was to “shoot” all of the holes before leaving a shift, so they had brought in a giant box of powder to load the other holes, setting it down a distance away. It’s not known what caused it, perhaps roof rock crashing down on a dynamite stick, but the powder box exploded.<br /><br />A coroner’s jury later held that the deaths were accidental and a continued risk in the gold mines.<br /><br />Written for JPR's series, <a href="http://ijpr.org/Feature.asp?FeatureID=1832"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;">As It Was</span></span></a>.<br /><br /><strong>Sources</strong>: “Fatal Explosion at Opp Mine,” January, 1906, Gold Hill News; records and files of the Gold Hill Historical Society.

Bet you have been cussing us for not writing sooner. You should know a lot of new cuss words by now but we didn’t get your letter until Thursday night after we got home from town. Then had to rush off to the 4-H. Then we kept thinking you might come over Sat—But no Johnny—am sure sorry kid you’re having such a tough time with your bubbles. How long do you have to take those shots? Bet there is a red headed nurse in that office and we won’t be seeing much of you—but take it easy kid—Momma will tell you all about the birds and bees some day… When do you think you will be over? Don’t make it to long, huh? Thanks for missing us. That makes it even… Hope you can read this. Write soon. <br /><br /> Love from all<br /> Honeypot<br /><br /><br /><br /> <span style="font-style:italic;">This letter was written to John Jury in 1948 by his sister Marlene, who signed many of her letters with the nickname “Honeypot.” Marlene lived in Murphy with her and Johnny’s parents, while Johnny was residing in Ashland.<br /><br /> It is unclear why Johnny was in Ashland, but Marlene frequently mentions her hopes that Johnny get well from his “bubbles.” Perhaps he was in Ashland to recover from a bout with chronic, recurring boils, which are skin abscesses caused by bacteria or in some cases, inflammation of the sweat glands.<br /></span><br /><br /><br />Post Submitted by Karreen Busch<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Source: Letter from Marlene to John Jury, 1948.

Some Guernsey cattle in the Rogue Valley still carry the Rogers name on their breeding records. She sold the ranch and moved to Medford in 1990.<br /><br />Rogers told a reporter in 1982 that she voted and paid taxes in Oregon. "I consider myself an Oregonian," she said.<br /><br />Born Virginia Katherine McMath on July 16, 1911, in Independence, Missouri, she took her step father's last name, Rogers, as her own. She was dancing publicly at age 10 and began touring when she was 14, including a performance at age 15 at the Craterian Theater in Medford. She was already a Broadway and Hollywood star when she and Fred Astaire began making 10 dance-filled pictures together.<br /><br />Sixty-seven years after her first Medford performance, Rogers returned for a benefit concert in 1993 at what is now known as the Craterian Ginger Rogers Theater.<br /><br />Rogers died at 83 at her winter home at Rancho Mirage, California.<br /><br />Written by
