  • Edited Fleshman Transcript
    Edited Fleshman Born and parents moved to NE Oregon I: Please give me your full name. GF: George Leslie Fleshman. I: Were you born in Union County? GF: I was born out near the airport on September 7, 1924. I: What had brought your parents here? GF: My mother‟s parents came west on the last organized covered wagon in 1878. I: Were they heading for the Willamette Valley? GF: They went down to Salem and spent their first winter. It was too wet and rainy so they came back to Walla Walla, Washington and stayed there a year. From there, they moved to Wallowa County, which at that time was still a part of Union County. They had a hundred and sixty acre farm just as the valley opens up going towards Lostine. In 1885, a year after they had moved, Mother was born. The family lived in a sod house and she lived there till she married Dad. Dad was born in West Virginia, his mother was a Carper, and there are still a lot of Carpers in Union and Wallowa Counties. My grandfather was George Washington Carper. They had about thirteen kids. My grandmother then married my granddad Jimmy Fleshman in West Virginia. My father was the oldest of eleven children. In 1896, the Carpers decided to come to Promise, Oregon located in Wallowa County. [too many grand dads here] Dad was eighteen when he got his own homestead. He started teaching and he taught for four or five years, one year at Wallowa in a country school called Liberty School.

    Pat Fitzgerald 6/10/02, tape 1, side 2 JT: So if you would state your name and your date of birth. PF: James Patrick Fitzgerald. I was born December 23, 1918 in La Grande, Oregon. JT: As you grew up here, where did you go to school? PF: Well, I‟ll start out where I was born. I was born on the corner of Sixth and Penn in a house now occupied by the Potter‟s Shed, or whatever they call that place over there. Right across the street from Dale Mammon‟s office. I started school when I was five years old at the Sacred Heart Academy up on the hill when the old St. Joseph Hospital area is now. I attended there four years. I went one year at Central School. I guess all the town‟s ne‟er-do-well‟s they bunched them in one big bunch and sent them all to Ackerman when it opened in 1929. So we had quite a bunch of kids from all over the area that went there. Now what else do you need? JT: When you graduated from Ackerman you went on to high school? PF: High school, here, yea. I graduated there in 1936. JT: Is there any particular things that happened to you when you were going to school that you would like to share with us? PF: Lots of things happened over the years. I suppose…the years up at the Ackerman school. The school was run by the college up there, J. H. Ackerman.
