A bit late - we visited the JoCo Historical Society in October 1999. Many thanks for all your help. Lived in Grants Pass from 1942-1949. Attended Riverside Elem. My dad sold J.I. Case equipment while we live on the old Murphy Road.
Brother is buried in the cemetery just north of town.
Would be interested in hearing from you anyone from this period. I'm a relative of Melvin Toothman who died and is buried in Grants Pass December 1980. His wife was Margie. The had four children, Lynn, Leslie, Larry and Linda. Dear JCHS, I hope to do some research on a mining claim some day.
