Following is written by Thelma Gibson in May 1998:

Ole and Beulah lived in Mace, Idaho when first married and Ole ran a saloon and had miners cabins for rent with running water. The first in any of the homes. Kenneth and Vera were born there. After a few years at Valleyford WA where Ole tried to be a farmer they moved to Greenacres Approx 1918. Ole bought the domestic water company. Thelma was born there in 1920. They lived in a small house that is still on the lot. In 1925 Ole borrowed money from an old skinflint named willie Schrap and built the Greenacres house.

Thelma remembers the family sleeping in a wood and Canvastype building that summer and they moved into the new house in the fall. According to Vera´s 2 year diary that was found in the attic area by the Battermans and given to Thelma and Zona in 1996. The first dinner in the new house was on Oct 25 1925. According to her ''It was grand but daddy seemed worried''.

During the depression Beulah took in teachers for room and board. People could not afford to pay the USD 1,75 monthly water bill. So we were furnished with all sorts of food - eggs, milk, butter, chickens, rabbits, vegetables and fruits that Beulah would can and preserve. The good old barter system !. For a few years Ole could only pay the interest on the loan but before too long the mortgage was paid ! He worked many odds jobs for others to accomplish this.

Beulah was a great gardener and her yard was voted first place 2 years in the valley garden contest.

There was also a flourishing vegetable garden on the back of the lot and Ole had some prize concord grapes that he turned into a beautiful wine every year. Even during the war years when sugar was rationed, he managed to scrape up enough stamps for the purchasing of sugar. The wine aged in the fruit cellar under the living room near the fireplace. Sometimes the corks would pop out of the barrels and hit underneath the livingroom floor. There was an asparagas patch in the garden and we had pheasant a few times out of season - thanks to Kenneth's good aim.

The Greenacres House was the gathering place at holiday time for all the relatives.

Vera and Frenchy Brandt had their wedding reception in the yard in 1933.

Kenneth and Evelyn were married in the living room in 1934.

Zona, Charles and Kari all had their wedding receptions in the living room also.

By 1950 Ole and Beaulah moved to San Diego and Kenneth and Evelyn moved into the Greenacres House with their children. So another family of Nilsons grew up in the house. Evelyn Nilson died unexpectedly in 1974 and after a few years Ken remarried and sold the family home in the late 70's.

This is from Emmet Smith remembering visits with Ole & Beulah Nilson in San Diego while in the USN boot camp.

In 1953 at San Diego USN boot camp I recieved Sunday passes and went to lok up Ole & Beulah Nilson as I had delivered the newspaper to the in Greenacres years ago.

I was very warmly welcomed and Ole had a chair placed next to his chair so he and I could hear each other well.

Our visiting was of the early days.

Ola was in Mace Idaho when the Saloon caught fire and burned down. The contents were saved by Ole and another man and they bought the liquir and with two saw horses and a plank of wood sold drinks whle the fire was still burning. Ole then rebuilt the saloon. It was never mentioned that he bought his partner out or when.Ole then built a second building that he called the Beanery. He rented this to two ladies and never operated it himself. He then enclosed between the two building and this was the Sportin house, the ladies at the Beanery managed it.

Oles next venture was to develop a spring up the hillside for water to the saloon and beanery. There was a string of tar-paper shacks along the road and since they were getting water from the saloon and beanery anyway Ole ran a pipeline with faucets in fron of each cabin and charged them for the water.

One night Ole got word that two guys were going to hold him up on his way to his cabin so he stayed all night in the saloon with his pistol ready. The next morning the two guys were long gone.

I dont remember Ole ever talking about Wallace, he did mention Burke a lot. I dont know if he rode the train to Burke for supplies or if he got them right off the train in Mace.

Ole met Beulah while she was working at the beanery. They bought the farm at Valleyford but had it a very short time, Beulah saying ''Ole was no farmer**. They traded the farm for the Greenacres water works and moved there in 1917.

In 1952 my older brother Dennis and I were working at Idependent Lumber company in Spokane, the family that owned it bought the Wallace Lumber and Fuel Co, and Dennis went up to Wallace as manager. While there for 6 years (the new freeway bought them out) he met and served on the chamber of commerce with Fat Hull who owned a Avern in Wallace. They became good friends Fat Hull was related to Grandpa George Hull.

Sudden Death
William Hull of Shelburn and who had been in ill health for several months because of heart trouble and dropsy died suddenly Monday while sitting in a chair about the fire.
Mr. Hull has resided in the vicinity of Shelburn for many years and was well advanced in years. He had just sold his little farm and was expecting to move elsewhere hoping a change would be beneficial to his health. Mr. Hull was a good citizen and was liked and respected by all who knew him.

William H, Hull
William H, Hull was born in Hampshire county, Virginia on the nineteenth of September, 1842 and passed away at Shelburn, Oregon March 6, 1917, his age being 74 years, 5 months and 17 days. When but a small boy he with his parents emigrated to Adams county Illinois where he grew to manhood. In 1863, when 21 years of age he crossed the plains and settled near Baker City, Oregon. On January 23, 1870 he wedded Miss Minerva Nodine. To this union were born 8 children, 4 sons and 4 daughters. The names of whom are: Frederick of St. Louis, Mo, George of Harrison, Idaho, Lin and Charles of Wallace Idaho, Ruby of Los Angeles, California, Mrs. Lloyd Tindall and Mrs. A. H. Pipes of Shelburn and Mrs. D.I. Caldwell of Stayton, Oregon. Mr. Hull moved from Baker City to Shelburn in 1893 and in 1898 he moved to the place where he has since resided.
By occupation Mr. Hull was a farmer and stock man. He possessed in a large measure a public spirit. In the year 1876 he was elected to the office of tax assessor of Baker County for one term of two years, the duties of which he faithfully performed. His public work in the community of Shelburn as member of the Shelburn school board and supervisor of road district number 14 of Linn county may be mentioned with credit. He had the rare qualities of a sturdy pioneer and frontiersman, was possessed with strong constitution and iron will with large intellect, he undertook where others failed, duty was his motto to serve was his delight. This made his life a very intensive one and in all probability shortened his days upon earth. I home he was hospitable and kind and a very obliging neighbor. We shall miss him but fond memories will linger which we shall love to cherish.

Mrs. Minerva Hull, 90 last August, was buried a few days ago by the side of her husband at Miller cemetery near Scio. Mrs. Hull, who with her family, lived on a farm in the Shelburn community several years ago, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Bess Clark in Salem.

Extract from a letter written by Bessie Hull Clark for her mother, Minerva (Nodine) Hull, July 10, 1935.

"After leaving Council Bluffs in April, one night in early June, the train had reached the end of a day's trek and were forced to pitch camp for the night on the banks of the Platte River when they discovered there were 500 Sioux Indians camped about a mile up the river. A number of the Indians came and whooped and circled around their camp, taking note of their powers of resistance and prying into the possessions of the immigrants to see if it would pay them (the Indians) to pull a massacre when darkness of night covered all. Of course, you can only image the feelings of those men in the train and the helplessness of those women and children and their fright at seeing such a murderous horde spying around planning their destruction and what must have been their thoughts momentarily as the night hours passed expecting to be killed. They could hear the yells and the ki yi's of the Reds in the distance and knew they greatly outnumbered the train. Minerva was a little fourteen year old girl and no one slept in the camp that night. The train men armed and held themselves in readiness for any attack. But the reason the Reds were so hostile was because the Whites were camped on their reservation. However, Uncle Sam's soldiers were in Fort (Kearney) across the river from the immigrants and the Indians. At daybreak, a messenger came scurrying into camp and told the train to move on as quickly as possible, as the U.S.S. were not going to be able to hold the Sioux in check much longer. They had been war dancing and working themselves into a frenzy all night and were ready to swarm for attack at any minute. So the train lost no time in ambling forth and were accompanied and guarded by a small squad of soldiers the entire day, thus enabling the Whites to get far off the reservation and out of the path of the "Injuns". Thus ended just one of the many terrors of the pioneers of the plains."
