Carmichael was Andrew Lee, a native of Pennsylvania. He married Clara Ruffnes from The Dalles area.
Fletcher was John A., from Wisconsin originally having been born there in 1859. He married a Mary J. Kennedy who was from Illinois.
Much like today. Native Hood Riverites can avoid the tourist trap of downtown and do their shopping on the Heights.
Were smpw extriders the same as what we called golashes?

J.H. GILL DIES VERY SUDDENLY
The many Hood River friends of J.H. Gill, for many years a resident of the Heights, were deeply grieved and shocked last Thursday when news arrived here of his death early that morning at Sheridan, where for several months he and Mrs. Gill have been making their home with their son, Charles Gill. The shock was all the more felt because Mr. Gill had just arrived home after a visit here. While in the city he called on friends and commenced on the good health that had been his in the Sheridan district. While he had been seriously ill when living here, the Yamhill climate seemed to agree with him.
News of Mr. Gill’s death came in a telegram to W.H. Taft, Mrs. Gill’s brother, who hastened at once to Sheridan. Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at the Portland crematorium.
Other surviving children are Verne Gill, of Bellingham, and Miss Edith Gill, a veteran United States Army nurse.
The following were in Portland for the funeral: Mr. and Mrs. John A. Wilson, Mr. and Mrs. G.W. Peffer, Mr. and Mrs. L.E. Taft and F.M. Slavens.

I remember galoshes as three buckles, rubbers and overshoes but had not heard the term snow excluders, I like it .~

Apparently "snow excluders" are what we now call gaiters.
Downtown is not a tourist trap. It is very nice & bustling with activity. Unfortuately, some old timers never like change. They just need to give it a chance. I am not a native, but have lived in HR for 52 years. Times change.

Thank you Judy for standing up for downtown HR

Times most certainly have. I shall keep my thoughts to myself on this issue….and others….bye, bye…..

I don’t know if I think of downtown Hood River as a tourist trap, but I very seldom stop there any more. When my kids were young, in the 1970’s I would park downtown and we would shop at the different stores. Yes, things have changed. It’s not that I don’t like change, it’s that I can never find a place to park. There are several shops I would like to visit, but I never do. I just drive through downtown and head for The Heights.

I wonder if J.H. Gill was related to J.K. Gill of Portland book store fame?
