Everything's Fine-O in Mulino, June 1992 (Early farmers)
The Gambells
In 1908, William Gambell I, purchased property in Mulino known as the Woodside Farm, consisting of approximately 200 acres. He was a career railroad man for Chicago Northwestern and was not due to retire until 1939. Cousins of William, George and Ida Smith, took care of the farm in exchange for one-third of the property. That one-third was later sold to Charlie Passmore.
Everythings Fine-O in Mulino, June 1992:
William I, and his wife, Ella, had three children: Harvey, Harold and Lucille. Harvey married Lola House in 1930 and they moved to the farm from Chicago area in 1931. Lola's parents, Alex and Sena House, also moved to Mulino and purchased a house on Graves Road. They had 10 children, Lola being the oldest. When William I retired, he and Ella moved to Mulino and lived next door to the Houses.
Upon his retirement, William I, bought the service station from Joe Daniels. His wife, Ella, and daughter, Lucille, operated the service station that had gravity flow pumps. One could hand pump ten gallons of gas to the top level and then, gravity drained the gas into the car. The late Harvey Gambell described his father as "being the kind of man that shaved every day." He was used to sitting in an office and when he came to Oregon, it was quite awhile before he would wear farm clothes but, once he did he wouldn't wear anything else.
William I passed away in 1949 and Ella passed away in 1967. William's daughter, Lucille, never married. She passed away in 1949.
Harvey Gambell was instrumental in the start-up of the Mulino Water Department and helped build the Mulino Church. Harvey and Lola had one child, Frances, who passed away in 1972. Harvey passed away in 1990. Lola still lives on the old home place in Mulino.
Harold Gambell had three children: William II, Harold, Jr. and Candice. William, Jr. visited Mulino each summer as a boy and moved to Oregon permanently in 1947.
