Historic Hood River
Halloween at the Bartmess Home
10-29-2021
Notes
We have a wonderful Halloween treat today. A descendent of Sam and Elda Bartmess shares this image. It bears a caption in the handwriting of Sam and Elda’s eldest son, saying “Elda C. and Samuel E. Bartmess Halloween about 1894.†It may have been taken in the apartment above the Bartmess store on Oak between Third and Fourth Streets.

I like the cattails!
If you click the Barmess tag you will get lots of information about the family.

If indeed this is the Barthmus building on Oak Street, it would’ve been brand new. As I understand it, The western half of the building was constructed in 1893, The eastern portion in 1903.

This is my great grandparents having a good time which they were know for.
The eldest son was Earl, our grandfather, who was the president at one time of the pioneer society in the 1950s. TheI home and business they had on Oak st. I think is not this room, but I am not sure.
