Notes

This is Minnie Dorthea (or Dorothy?) Duckwall, first wife of John Charles Duckwall, one of the brothers who founded Duckwall fruit. I was going to ask for someone to research her genealogy but Jeffrey has already done that.

    Should have read Arthur's comments more carefully. She came over from Germany with her parents at age 3. Family name was Paasch, a 'valley' name. But she visited Europe at age 53, became ill, and eventually passed away at their Hood River home. Lovely lady.
