My grandparents lived there in the early 1930’s. My father, Everett L. Bowers, graduated from Olney High School in 1935. They moved out west after that and that’s how I ended up in Oregon. I am doing a family history and I am so grateful for your old pictures from their time. It gives me a good idea of what they experienced. My Grandfather, Dana W. Bowers worked for Enterprise Manufacturing then as a metallurgist
