Old Newspaper Articles about South Tillamook County published in 1895 in the Tillamook Headlight

As with the 1894 Tillamook Headlight editions of the newspaper, the 1895 issues also had few of the South County community columns in the paper. However, the Beaver area had quite a few. In fact we learned in several of these newspaper clippings about Beaver that the town was begun to be laid out in 1895! The news columns in earlier years were about people along the length of Beaver Creek from what is now Hemlock and East Beaver Creek Road to the mouth of Beaver Creek in what is now Beaver.

When you click on a link below the page that opens up will list articles by subject. The articles don't always fit perfectly into a particular subject area, but you should find a relationship in the article.

Note that each article has a name to identify in what newspaper the article was found as explained here: 1895, (12) Dec 08 p4b explains that it was published in the 12th month, December; 08 is the day in December the newspaper was published; p4b tells that the article was on page 4 and was the 2nd (b) article screenshot from the page. If p6f is listed then it was from page 6 and was the 6th (f) article screenshot from that page.

As you read these articles you should feel very blessed about our current lives compared to people mentioned in these articles fording rivers on horses or wagons, waiting for supplies to arrive by ship, traveling on very muddy roads, not having doctors very close for emergencies, having relatives and friends living far away, and so much more. db
