Notes
a. Note:   Douglas Co. Washington records (Marriages: Vol. 1, Page 26, #387) has Volly Paslay (28) marrying Edna M. Whitley (17) at Gordon on 5Oct1905.
  Edna M. Paslay (in response to a Brewster School Student Survey of Pioneer Residence, abt 1950)
  "I came in 1892 in November. My Folks came to Douglas County because my grandfather James Whitley was here who had come here and settled on a 160 acre farm and planted one of the first apple orchards. We lived in Idaho and traveled to Montana then by covered wagon to the big Bend Country. Our team of horses traveled about 25 miles a day. About eight familes were here. We took the occupation of farming. Morgan and Will Pasley's family who were squatters. Mose Boyles and W.C. Wilson's John W. Whitely, Joe Sperry, Mart Riggs families were homesteaders here. Virginia City which is where Sixes store now is was later names Brewster because of Mr. Bruster. The post office on Brewster Bar was Port Columbia and Bridgeport were the towns. Bridgeport later grew to a thriving Wheat center. A one story one roomed school house was the first school house. My teacher was Hilda Vaughan. Mrs. Roberts, Mrs. Holden, and Mr. Berry were some of the teachers. We had 6 months of school a year, 3 in the spring and 3 in the fall. Central Ferry was the main road and roads were built from Brewster and Central Ferry to Bridgeport and over Dyer hill. We had the hardships of all pioneer families. We lived in a one room log cabin there were five children and we had no overshoes and used gunny sacks in stead. Our father could never stand noise and on long winter evenings when papa would go out to do the chores we would practically tear the house down but the minute we heard papa step up on the porch and stomp off his feet everthing would be quiet again. We settled here because we liked the country in general and always felt at home here. There were indians in the vicinty but they were not hostil. They made their living by hunting, fishing and they went to Yakima to pick hops each year. The name of our town was not a Indian one.
