Nettie Mae Hall was a first generation Oregonian borne to Reuben Payne Hall (born in the Rocky Mtns. with his twin brother while parents were enroute to the Oregon Territory in 1846) and Frances A. Bevens, a native of Missouri.
Nettie's grandparents had used their donation land claim to platte out the town of Buena Vista in Polk County, Oregon in the late 1840's. The town thrived and all went well until the railroad chose Independence, Polk County, instead of Buena Vista when determining the railroad's route thru the Willamette Valley. Because of this, many businesses moved out, many relocating to Portland, Multnomah County. Farmers who already had chosen to live in the Buena Vista area, for the most part, continued to remain. Hops was grown in abundance, as well as different fruits and grains. There was a ferry near by so the river could be crossed or harvests could be sent by riverboat to their destinations for sale. Nettie never married but continued to live in the northwestern part of Oregon all of her life. Her SSDI shows she was living in SW Portland, Oregon (97207) when she passed in October, 1967, but her death certificate shows she was living in Polk County, Oregon when she passed on October 19th, 1967.
