I requested a bio from a East Multnomah site, and Dorothy is the respondant.

Sarah

I won't have time to transcribe the bio tonight, but I'll get it to you by the weekend.

Dorothy

Soquel, California

Also, there is a 1-page bio of Frederick Etling in Clarence E. Mershon's book, Living East of the Sandy Volume 2 . It includes a photo of his house taken just after WWII. Mershon's books are a wonderful history of the area with lots of photos, bios and descriptions of the farms and other businesses, big and small. Since his books are copyrighted , I wouldn't feel right in "lifting" any material from them. I'm not sure if they are still in print but I purchased both Volumes 1 & 2 from:

The East Multnomah Pioneer Association

(If you live in the Multnomah County area you could probably find the books in any local library.

Attached is the bio of Frederick Etling. Some of the spelling is questionable, but I double checked it, it's as transcribed in the compendium. The only spelling I changed was "Fresco," California to "Fresno." And even that I checked the 1930 Fresno, CA census to be sure William & Lelah were there--they were.

Frederick Etling

Frederick Etling was born in Westphalia, Germany, on April 15, 1853, to Friederich Adam Johan Etling and Pauline (Kemper) Etling. His father followed the family trade of manufacturing fancy pottery.

Frederick Etling had a brother, William Etling, and two half-sisters, Minnie and Bertha, his mother Pauline having died in 1955 during his infancy, and his father having subsequently married Amelia Fischer.

This whole family migrated to Kansas. William Etling remained in Kansas, but the rest of the family including the parents, Frederick and his two sisters, moved to Multnomah County, Oregon, in about 1890.

Frederick’s sister, Minnie, married Charles Salzman, and his sister Bertha married Gilbert Arnhold. Minnie Salzman had three sons, Fred, Albert and William Salzman. Minnie married Adolph Gaudlitz after the death of her husband, Charles Salzman. She died in 1928. She rests in the Pounder Cemetery near the Grange Hall at Corbett. Bertha Arnhold died in 1925.

Frederick’s parents, Friederich and Amelia, died in 1896 at Latourell Falls, Oregon, and rest in the Evans Cemetery at Corbett.

Frederick Etling married Martha (Meuller-Miller) Metzger in Portland on January 15, 1903, in the Lutheran Church located at 18th and Salmon Streets. To them were born a daughter, Anna Marie, on November 21, 1903, and two sons, Frederick Etling, Jr. on August 31, 1905, and Carl D. Etling, on March 3, 1911. Frederick Etling was a mail carrier in the vicinity of Latourell Falls and Corbett for a period of six years following his naturalization on October 19, 1907. He died on May 10, 1933 at Corbett and rests in the Rose City Cemetery in Portland.

Martha’s son, William Metzger, and daughter Lydia Metzger, lived at Latourell Falls when Martha first married Frederick Etling. William later married Lelah Shahan of Portland. To them were born a daughter, Nonabel Metzger, and two sons, Grant Metzger and Miles Metzger. William Metzger was postmaster at Corbett, Oregon about 1918. He also pioneered the first truck line between Portland and The Dalles. He later moved to Fresno, California, where he was a founder and associated with the Hotel Greeters of America. William died in Fresno in 1951. Lydia Metzger never married and resided in Portland until her death in 1958. She had been associated with the Northern Life Insurance Company for 37 years as cashier of the company’s Portland office. Martha’s children, Paeey, William and Lydia, all rest in the Rose City Cemetery in Portland.

Martha’s daughter, Anna Marie Etling, married Marion M. Carson of Portland in 1929. They reside at 3956 N.E. 40th Avenue, Portland, Oregon. To them were born a daughter, Annette Carson, and a son, John Carson. Anna, prior to her marriage, had been an elementary school teacher in Clackamas County, Oregon.

Martha’s son, Frederick Etling, Jr., married Vera Wells of Milton-Freewater, Oregon in 1936. They reside at 1715 S. Main Street, Milton-Freewater, Oregon. Frederick, known as Fred, is a music educator in the public schools there.

Martha’s son, Carl D. Etling, married Thelma Fern Davies, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Davies of Springdale, Oregon, in 1940. They reside at 6430 S.W. Garden Home Road, Portland. To them were born a son, Carl D. Etling, Jr. in 1945, and a daughter, Marilee Kay Etling in 1953. Carl is a District Judge of Oregon for Multnomah County. Prior to her marriage, Thelma (Davies) Etling had been an elementary school teacher at Aloha, Oregon.

William M. Etling

WILLIAM M. ETLING. No one class or nationality of people showed a greater ability to adapt themselves to the region and climate and soil of Central and Western Kansas than those who came from the central European countries, most of them of German stock. One of this nativity is William M. Etling, now a farmer and stockman. Mr. Etling has been identified with Kansas for thirty-five years, and he knows by personal experience all the ups and downs of farming. He came to this country with few assets but in the course of years has made himself one of the most substantial landholders and business men of Belpre.

He was born near Kreis-Ansberg in the Province of Westphalia, Germany, August 30, 1854. His people were clear thinking and industrious mechanics but in humble circumstances. The trade of potter had been in the family for several generations. It was followed by his grandfather, William Etling, and also by his father, Frederick Etling, both of whom were natives of Hesse-Darmstadt. Frederick Etling married for his first wife Paulina Kemper. Her children were Frederick, now living at Corbet, Oregon, and William M. By his marriage to Amalia Fischer, Frederick Etling had two daughters: Minnie, widow of Carl Salzman, living at Corbet, Oregon, and Bertha, wife of Gottlieb Arnhold, of Baldwin, Kansas. Frederick Etling followed his son to the United States in 1884, joining him in Barton County, but finally removed to Oregon. He spent his last years there. His death occurred at the Village of Latourell Falls, overlooking the Columbia River. His home was on some of the foothills of Mount Hood, and he and his second wife are both buried there.

William M. Etling acquired a liberal education in Germany. He also learned the trade of potter, but had no practical experience in that line after coming to America. On December 23, 1880, at the age of twenty-six, he married Minnie Vogelsang, daughter of William and Fredericka (Haynbach) Vogelsang. The Vogelsangs and their children came to America with Mr. Etling. In 1882 the party embarked on the Dutch vessel Scholton at Amsterdam, sailing for New York. The trip was marred by nothing more severe than a storm which swept away a part of the railing of the vessel and resulted in a few days delay at sea. The party passed through Castle Garden and continued its journey to Ellinwood, Barton County, Kansas. A sister of Mrs. Etling had already located there, and they also joined some of their old neighbors and friends from Germany. The Vogelsangs bought a small farm near Ellinwood, and Mrs. Etling's parents spent the rest of their lives in that community and are buried there.

Mr. Etling's first experience in the United States was a job at hoeing potatoes. He brought practically nothing with him to Kansas, and had to depend upon his manual toil to support the home. He worked on farms at corn husking and finally secured a job on the railroad section at Ellinwood. He worked as a section hand for nine years. In the summer he was paid $1.10 a day, and his employment was fairly continuous except in the winter. He then found occasional work on farms. On leaving the section he moved to a place which he bought and on which he made a payment of $200. He also purchased a team and wagon on time. At the end of four years he was $3,600 in debt. There seemed to be no hope for the future, and he expressed a complete willingness to give up his farm and return to railroading. However, a wise old German friend said "No, you stay on the farm." The same friend offered to provide the Etling family with seed to plant and provisions for another season. Happily Mr. Etling accepted this offer, although he already owed his benefactor more than he felt he would ever be able to repay. The longest road has a turn, and that final effort proved the key which opened to Mr. Etling the way to fortune. From his fields of wheat that season he threshed 1,700 bushels. He sold it for 83 cents a bushel and turned the money into the bank to the credit of his good friend. After that better seasons succeeded and he continued on his Stafford County farm for ten years. In the meantime he had added eighty acres and finally sold the entire tract and in 1901 came to Edwards County.

Of the period of low prices Mr. Etling has had a full experience. Once after hauling corn to market eighteen miles he sold it for 13 and 14 cents a bushel, and the lowest price paid him for a bushel of wheat was 47 cents. On moving to Edwards County Mr. Etling bought three quarter sections at $15 an acre. The price was to be paid in installments, and he managed to meet his payments from the crops raised. On his farm he erected one of the best country homes of the entire county, a substantial residence of twelve rooms. There is also a barn forty-two by sixty-two feet, granaries with a capacity of 6,500 bushels and other permanent and convenient buildings. He lived there fourteen years, prospered and gained financial independence. He bought two more improved farms, one-half section each, in Edwards County and two quarter sections improved in Meade County, and in 1914 moved to Belpre, where he owns a splendid home overlooking the town. When his son entered the army in 1918 he returned to the farm.

Mr. Etling organized and is president of the Equity-Union Coal & Mercantile Company of Belpre. He also writes insurance for the Mennonite Mutual Insurance Company of Newton, Kansas, and the Farmers' Mutual Fire insurance Company of Ellinwood, having represented that company in Barton County twenty-five years ago.

Soon after reaching America Mr. Etling took out his citizenship papers and began voting. He cast a ballot for Mr. Cleveland, but soon changed parties and has since been a republican. He was a director of school district No. 23, is affiliated with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and the Modern Woodmen of America, and the family are Methodists.

Mrs. Etling was born September 16, 1857. Her younger brothers and sisters were: Lena, who died at Ellinwood, the wife of Henry Landerman, leaving four children; Anna, wife of August Landerman, of Ellinwood; Elizabeth married John Schwerdtfeger, both dying in Oklahoma City, the parents of six children; Henry died in Barton County, leaving a daughter; Sophie married John Zigler, of Blackfoot, Idaho; and Frederica who died at the age of fourteen.

Mr. and Mrs. Etling have made abundant provisions for themselves and their large family of children. Their oldest child is William F. C., who now lives In Texas, near Guyman, Oklahoma. He married Minda Windhorst, and has a son, William. The next child, Fred, is a resident of Ford County, Kansas, and by his marriage to Ludella Stanley has two sons, Calvin and Carl. Anna is the wife of Earl Hager, and has a daughter, Laura. Lena married John Deeds, of Belpre, and has three children, Vaughn, Marvin and Warren. Ella married Preston Harvey, of Montezuma, Kansas, and has one child, Loraine. Carl is a soldier in the Quartermaster Corps, serving in France. On May 15, 1918, he married Hally Newton.

Ernest, a farmer, married Fay Busenbark, and has a son, Hoy Boyd, and a daughter, Ernestine. Christina married Fred Wilson, of Fowler, Kansas, and has a son, Wallace Edward, and a daughter Hally. John is a graduate of the Belpre High School, and is continuing his higher studies in the University of Kansas, being an unusually studious and capable youth. John also served in Co. G, Students' Army Training Camp, Lawrence, Kansas. The youngest child is Albert Otto, now a graduate from the eighth grade and starts high school at Belpre, Kansas.

Neighbor Focus: Anna Etling Carson

A Sweetheart of Corbett High

by John M. Carson

Anna at 18

A Beaumont Wilshire resident for the past 60 years, Anna Etling Carson grew up on a ranch on Larch Mountain in east Multnomah County. She graduated from Corbett High School in 1922 where classmates remembered her as a remarkably attractive young lady.

She was born 99 years ago in November 1903 during an ice storm. The midwife had to crawl on her hands and knees to get up the hill to the ranch house. Anna’s family lived without electricity or running water. It was her responsibility as a child to carry drinking water from a spring in the family orchard. She helped her brother, Fred, carry large pails of fresh milk to sell to the crews working on the Scenic Columbia River Highway.

When she was old enough to leave home, her older half-sister, Lydia, helped her enroll in the Oregon Normal School in Monmouth, Oregon where she studied to become an elementary school teacher. After teaching in Warrendale, Oregon for several years, she came to live with cousins in Portland and taught at Batton School.

Her cousin, Bill Gray, introduced her to Marion Carson, one of his auto parts customers. Anna and Marion married a few months before the Great Depression. Their daughter, Annette, was born in 1936 at the bottom of the Depression and their son, John, was born in 1942 during World War II. At that time they purchased their home on NE 40th Avenue for $4300.

For many years, Anna’s husband ran an auto repair shop on NE Broadway. As small business owners, the Carsons made it a point to patronize other small businesses in the neighborhood. Anna taught Sunday school at Highland Congregational Church on NE 9th and Going. She was active in the Wilshire Garden Club for over 40 years and in 1994 received a certificate of commendation for her contributions.

Marion Carson died in 1989 and for the past six years Anna has been confined to a wheelchair. Being dependent is a big change for someone who used to help others and give rides to the elderly. Anna is growing old gracefully, never complains, and is easy to care for in her own home. Her friends and family look forward to her 100th birthday next year.
