She was identified as Evaline Albertson in the marriage record [Marion County MR #3115]. [Some information from WFH records]. Sophia A. (Smith) Church died in 1895 and is in Fox Valley Cemetery, as is her son James H. Church. Volney Lawrence Gates was born at Gates, OR the son of Lemuel & Eva (Church) Gates. He was inducted into the service 22 July 1918 in Linn County and served until 01 March 1919. On 02 July 1919 he received injuries to a leg while working for Gooch Lumber Co. The leg subsequently was amputated, but he succumbed to the injuries at the Mill City Hospital on 17 Nov 1919. He was 29 years 10 months 22 days at the time of his death. He was survived by his mother, Mrs. J. L. Quinn, and three sisters who all lived in Washington. [military records, Oregon State Archives; SML 20 Nov 1919].

[SML 23 Nov 1950] Henry’s birthdate is given as 07 Jan 1866 in his obituary, while the 1900 Marion County Electors information gives it as 07 January 1874, as does the Personal Military Service - Oregon War Records for his son William Henry Smith. The census in 1880, 1900 and 1905 also indicate his birth to have been in 1874. Henry Smith was the "town marshall" in Stayton for many years.

The Oregon Statesman of 17 Dec 1889, front page, tells of the mysterious death, by gunshot, of W. C. Riggs about 1 1/2 miles east of Subl irnity. Mr. Riggs was a married man, about 40 years, with a wife and 3 children. The next day’s Oregon Statesman reports the jury had ruled the shooting accidental and further reports he left a wife and 4 children. The funeral was at Sublimity with interment in the "city cemetery". It seems likely he was interred in Hobson­Whitney Cemetery, also known as Sublimity Graveyard, being moved here after Margaret's death in 1910, at which time this lot was purchased. Andrew W.
