There is a grandson of Perry Eddy named William Perry Eddy, son of Isreal
Eddy, son of Perry Eddy. Tel 503-753-5426, 2620 So. West 53rd. St.,
Corvallis, Oregon 97333.See page 564 of Eddy Family in America, #4365. The book says that he was
married to Mary Amanda Frantz in Hoskins, Benton Co., Oregon. The bible
record gives the place as Kings Valley, Benton Co., Oregon.
In the 1880 census, Perry is given as age 22, living in house of Jessie Wood, born in Iowa. As other? Perhaps working on a farm?I, Larry Anderson, in company with my sons, Jacob and Larry Jr. visited Corvallis, OR on 28-30 June 2004. We visited with William Perry Eddy, our 3rd cousin who showed us around the family areas of interest. We spent a lot of time at the Ft. Hoskins cemetery as well as areas of interest as the family lived and grew up in the area. A very special, lovely area, hilly to mountainous, full growth of stands of trees, pine and fir, etc., rivers with fishing as these families grew and were able to run the mountains, fish and hunt in a paradise. Logging and mills were a staple to their lives and ecconomy.
Perry also had the distributorship of a type of headstone of Zinc, very elaborate, some as standing monuments with elaborate floral designs, engravings, some as smaller markers, also flowered and engraved. These monuments in the cemetery are the best kept, least deteroated, no moss or loss of clarity, etc. They all held up very well.
There is a stone to commemorate the valley and cemetery:

Dear Dorothy and Bill:
Thanks for the nice Christmas Card.
I would also like to thank you very much for the article you sent regarding grandfather and Eddyville ranch.
It broght back many memories. Around 1905 or 1906 he came to Hoskins and lived with us a year or so after my mother died. When he went back to Eddyville I would ride my pony from Hoskins over to Eddyville quite often to see him. Riding through the mountains as I recall it, it would take me about 3 or 4 hours tgo ride over there.
Grandfather Eddy and your father were both great gun lovers. They would shoot at targets to see who could do the best shooting. They were both excellent shots. They both could beat me. And I was a pretty good shooter as it was my job to shot the cherry birds in our trees at cherry time. They used to be thick. I could at that time very often use up a whole box of 22 rifle shells and never miss a bird. There was one tree that had a top limb that leaned just such a way that sometimes there would be 3 or 4 birds in a row so I could occationally line them up in my sight and once in a while kill two birds with one shot, and once in a great time get three.
Once again I want to thank you for sending me that Eddyville article. I will treasure it greatly.
I had to take my wife to the hospital yesterday. For some inexplicable reason she got so she could not talk. I saw her today adn she was able to talk again and I am hoping that I may be able to bring her home before tghe week is out. She has had two strokes and cannot usd her right arm and is unable to walk so is confined to a wheel chair. I am thankful that though I am 89 I am strong enough yet to take care of her.
What subject does your son in law tach at OSU? After I finished college at OSU I taught the commercial course at Astoria High School for the spring I came to Portland and got a job as a stenographer at $65 a month. Later in the summer the Astoria Superintendent wanted me to come back in the fall (at $90 a month) but I told him I had a better job. I did care for teaching. At that time there were what I considered too many "old fogies" in the Astoria facility.
Very best wishes to you and yours

July 5, 1916Dear Brother.
Inclosed please find money order for $10.00. This isn't very much, but as the old woman said, every little bit helps. I know you have waited patiently for what you have coming, and from now on I am going to send you $10.00 a month until it is entirely reduced and interest paid for the time it has been running. This is made possible by the fact that beginning the first of this month my salary has been raised $10.00 a month, making it now $85.00 Hope you can wait much longer. However, if you have to have the money I might be able to borrow say $50.00 here and send it to you. Let me know if you want me to try and do this.
Good luck, sincerely your Brother
