| Notes for Maj. Philip Arthur LIVESLEY | ||||||||||
| - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Philip Arthur Livesley grew up around Milwaukee WI and was a clerk there as late as 1899. He came to Oregon in 1901, supposedly with his cousin George F. Livesley. (Maybe George returned to Wisconsin that year and brought Philip with him when he returned west?) He bought hops a while for T. A. and worked in a St. Helen's sawmill. In 1904 he bought a house in Woodburn and sent for his mother and sister. His haberdashery "The Elite" didn't work. Before too long he joined up with wholesale produce merchant Fred Dose as a bookkeeper. This appears to have been a happy team and Philip worked with Dose for years. He served on the Woodburn city council 1910-13 and was mayor of that town in 1914. One of his mayoral moves was to secure a grant from Andrew Carnegie to build the library which still stands today. He also built a new City Hall. Judging by the pictures, he worked his way up through the National Guard in Wisconsin and Oregon. In 1910 he was a 2nd Lieutenant; in 1916 he was with the border service in California; in 1917 he went to France and WW1 and became Major Livesley. Philip married Blanche Barton at her home in Coquille OR in 1907. They moved to Portland in 1919 and in 1834 Philip started a produce business under the PAL Co. brand which he ran until his retirement in 1946. He and Blanche had two children. Children 1908-10: Philip, Katherine.

| Notes for Blanche BARTON | ||||||||||
| - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - daughter of Clarence BARTON and Katherine Virginia BOHLAYER - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - The Bartons of Washington DC are themselves a distinguished family. Clara Barton, of American Red Cross fame, was Blanche's relative, and her father Clarence M. Barton a significant figure in newspapering, in 1882 was shot by a disgruntled reader while editor of Washington's "National Republican." Clarence took the family to his editor posts first in Philadelphia and then Tacoma in 1887 which is how they came to be out west. Blanche's mother was Katherine Virginia Bohlayer, born to another prominent eastern family that counted artists and personages of the day among its friends.
