New Meadows Literacy Night

Jake Hendrix’s senior project focused on earning his CDL license and getting involved with search and rescue operations. Through this project, he gained valuable hands-on experience in safety, teamwork, and emergency response. These skills will directly support his future career as a lineman, where responsibility, precision, and quick thinking are essential. (right)

The log school at Wildhorse. Year unknown.

Recent History Corner & Yester Years

1894 – Part 2

I may feature this photo too often, but it’s such a good portrayal of what Council looked like in its earliest days. It was taken, looking south, in1896 but shows a few spots relevant to 1894. 1 = Council Valley Hotel. 2= Hancock’s General Mercantile. The fence at the bottom right shows where the “John Peters’ store stood before it burned. 6 = Peters’ barn. 7= The store Peters established and then shared with Isaac McMahan. 8 = Moser Hotel. 9= Moser barn. 10 = Original Moser cabin.

1894

Dr. Thomas Copeland Sherwood, owner of what we know as Starkey Hot Springs, in 1894.
