sherrie,
my name is butch potts and I grew up in the 1950 - 1960 era in a little community about one mile south of Delmar, Oregon called Greenacres. The house that George Chard built was actually a small hotel to house the people who had traveled up Itsmous Slough and stayed the night before boarding a stagecoach to take them overland to Coaledo, Oregon where they then boarded another boat to take them on to Coquille, Oregon.
The family that lived there that I knew was Bill Chard. I did go to school with Ray chard and Knew his older brother Ken. Are you any rel. to them?
I am currently trying to find out some info on George as I heard that name Quite often when I lived there. My grandfarher lived in Curry County in 1860.
I'll get back with you as soon as I find some info.
