She came down with polio at about the age of 3 or 4 and her family chartered a railroad car in Carter, Wyoming taking what they could along with a team of horses and moving to Gridley, California in 1912 hoping to get her help and her 3 sisters a good education. Avis Edwards’ family moved a bit from a large ranch and in the wilds of Utah, near the Wyoming Border where my mother was born in a log cabin in 1905. I am in the process of trying to compile a nice history of my mother and have included her picture from Pleasant Hill High. She was also able to include what a high school report card looked like in that time: Her daughter has continued searching for information and wrote some more details in 2010. If you have any information about the school at this time I would love to know more.Īvis Edwards did not graduate from Pleasant Hill. She was born in a log cabin in Utah, very near the Wyoming border, the Wild West back then. Mother was born in 1905 and had wonderful tales to tell of her experiences in Oregon.
She said she didn't like her picture and cut it out, which I would love to see. You will notice one of the pictures has been cut out.of course that would have to be my Mother, (Avis Edwards). She had this picture of the 1922 kids at that school and I am sending you the picture which I thought you might like to add to your collection of history. I also have one of her report cards from that year. Her family moved to Trent, Oregon probably in 1922 where her 3 sisters Beatrice, Myrtle and Florence Edwards attended Elementary school and my Mother, being the oldest of four girls (Avis Edwards) said in her history she had to go about 3 miles further to High School where she attended Pleasant Hill High School.
I just looked on the web to see if I could find anything about Pleasant Hill High School as I am in the process of adding to my Mother's History.
We don't have any entries from alumni from this class put we did get this picture from the daughter of one of the graduates who sent this picture and enclosed this February 18, 2007
