- from Oliver H. Perry Bain (he was named after Commander Oliver Hazard Perry (1785-1819) who was in charge of a naval victory against the British in the War of 1812 on Lake Erie, such as other siblings were named after historical persons.)
Oliver Perry Bain (1879-1943 in Seaside, Oregon)...1930 Census at Grays Harbor, WA lists him as a clam digger for Clam Fisheries Co. Son, Clifford (My favorite Uncle), age 19 is listed, also as a clam digger.
1920 Census at North Cove, Pacific County, WA lists Oliver, age 41 and divorced. Clifford, age 9, is living with him. He is a trapper of fur animals.
A Draft Registration in 1942 filed, his age is 62, living in Seaside. OR. He died the following year on 15, April, 1943.
A Draft Registration filed in 1917 for the First World War, while he is living in Pacific Beach, Or. shows him self employed as a fisherman with nearest relative "Mrs. O. P. Bain."
Oliver Bain married Beulah Burke (1891 Ark-1952 WA). ( I have an extensive genealogy on her, also). They had children: Clifford b 1922 d in Quartzite, AZ ( have not researched the dates on my uncles...none produced children); Arthur b 1913 d about 1960s. He was living on skid row in Portland, OR and he visited us in 1961 when we lived nearby. Never heard from him again; Goldie b 1915 (My mother) d 1978; Ralph (?) b 1918 d in infancy (have picture, he was hydrocephalic), and Howard b 1920 d 1961 while fishing for smelt on the Columbia River. Howard had married Leona and had adopted her son, Jim Bain.
Oliver and Beulah divorced about 1920. I have a photo dated 1921 on which my Mom wrote "the last time I saw Clifford". They did get in contact, however, after they were grown. Beulah went on to remarry and had 4 more children.
My mother, Goldie Bain...she always thought her name was Goldie Grace Cecelia Bain, but discovered when she got social security, that her birth certificate said simply "Grace" Bain. Born 10 Feb, 1915 Ark, d 23 Dec 1978 Othello, WA. Married Wilhelm August James Schreib (1907-1989) in 1938, living in Renton, WA. He died in Othello, WA. (His ancestry goes back to 1600s in Germany...his father immigrated to the USA in 1886.)
Goldie and William (Bill) had two children (both still living) myself: Loretta Jean Schreib (now Anderson) b 31 Mar, 1942 and my brother, William Arthur Schreib, b 27 Dec, 1942...yes, we were born 8 months, 27 days apart...he was 3 months premature. William has never married.
