Excerpt from History and Recollections of My Father and Family, written in 1932 by Flora Rash Thompson:
I was next married and moved into Marshall County where Jessie and Clint were both born. The fall of 1899 we with our two children, Bennie (Flora's brother Benjamin), Jim and Hulda (Flora's cousin and her husband Jim Shultz) and their two girls Ethel and Lee, went to Oregon. We first went to Eli's (Jim's brother Eli Shultz) near the town of Rainer, Oregon. Lewis first worked in a shingle mill. Later ran an engine for a sawmill. Son Carl was born the following Feb. 28, 1890. When Carl was 10 weeks old I with the three children came back to Iowa, Lewis coming the following fall. We lived in Hardin County until 1892 and moved to Grundy County. Frank the first to be born in Grundy County, Hazel was also born here. When Hazel was three years old in Fall 1896 we moved to Whitten, Iowa. Here Henry and Clarence were born. Henry died at one year and is buried at the Miller cemetery.
