HIST: "In The Footsteps of the Pioneers, 1862-1962," by Will M Kidwell, Ed.D., PG 242:
"During this decade the butcher shop was located on the NE side of East Birch Creek on Main Street, which the city maps call "Willow." The butcher shop was operated by Fred Bailey..had an ice-house in back with double walls filled with sawdust. Ice was cut in winter and stored there during summer months. One of his employees was Charlie Kidwell, an emigrant from MO who later married Nora Michaels. Bailey sold the shop to Frank Michaels. Then later Elvin Pollock purchased it."
Pg 308: "...Albert Frank Michael came to Umatilla Co in fall of 1883. ...turned to railroad construction and kept moving west until he arrived in Oregon. Later his son-in-law Elvin Pollock joined him in the business. This shop faced Main Street next to East Birch Creek on the spot where the present post office stands (1880s)."
Pg 312: "Mr and Mrs Elvin Pollock lived on Little McKay Creek... He md one of the daus of Frank Michael. They had a family: Albert, Maurice, and Thelma (Green). They sold their place to Elmer Wyatt and moved to PR where Mr Pollock worked in the butcher shop owned by his father-in-law, Mr Frank Michael."
NOTES: Owned a meat market in Pilot Rock. June has pictures of Floyd Michael and friends out front of store with animals they hunted.
