  • READ IT and SLEEP by William L
    Home where I was raised. Roundeau Ranch, Tygh Ridge, Wasco County, Oregon. READ IT AND SLEEP By William L. (Bill) Hulse I was born in Sherman County on August 4, 1920 to Roy Paul and Mary Jane Hulse. Dad was a farmer and storekeeper and mother was a schoolteacher. They moved from Sherman County to Tygh Ridge in Wasco County in the winter of 1919 and 1920. Mother had been doctoring in Moro with Dr. Poly, so she went back to Moro for my birth. Both my brother Paul and sister Janet were born in Sherman County. We lived on and farmed the old Roundeau Ranch, which had been purchased by Al- fred Dillinger. In the early part of the depression the ranch was lost to the Eastern Oregon Land Company. Dad eventually purchased it from them and then added the Murdock McLeod homestead. We attended Harmony Grade School, one and a quarter miles from our house. My grandkids would say “I suppose it was uphill both ways and through two feet of snow?” It wasn’t that bad, but we did walk. The school had one room and one teacher who was the janitor, nurse and mother hen to all of us kids. I remember one year – there were thirteen children in seven grades. There was no first grade that year. There were children from the family of George Hillgen, Walt Hillgen, Ellis Jones, Tommy Jones, Sid Baker, Clarence Garner, Joe McMurray and Roy Hulse. The teacher’s salary started at $50 per month and board and room. We had several local teachers: Beula Fraley McClean, Mary Sigman Hart, Opal Bene- dict Wiidanen and Frances Doud.
