Our condolences to Sandra Miller and Dick Stine in the loss of their mother, Marcella, who passed away Sunday morning at the hospital in The Dalles. Marcella was a resident of Lyle for about 50 years and contributed many of those years to service in the community. She was liked by everyone and will be dearly missed.
The St. Patrick's Day Dinner that was held at the Lyle Lions Club March 13 for the "Grad + 1" group was a great success and the students asked that we thank the community for its support. So "Thanks" to those, who supported, worked or contributed, in any way, to the success of their event.
The Sundowners' spent a wet, rainy weekend at Lewis & Clark R.V. Campground in North Bonneville. There were seven rigs with 19 campers in attendance. The next campout in April will be in Tygh Valley.
The Lyle Community Council meeting is coming up on March 23. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend and take part. A reminder, that the "Annual Cleanup" is just around the corner, the second weekend in April. This year you will be delivered orange garbage bags (if you live in town) and all yard debris and small garbage must be bagged, either in the orange ones or other household garbage bags. It will not be accepted if not bagged!
Shortly after the cleanup, The River Peoples Cultural Event will be held on May 15 from 3 to 8 p.m. at Lyle Park Place. Then don't forget, the 13 Mile + Yard sale in June. Whew, I'm tired just thinking about all this!
From The Mt. Adams Sun (Jan 29, 1937, Very Early Settlement Prove to Have Been Made in Lyle Section by George W. Wiley): "Fredrick Viedernell sold to Egbert French, who in turn sold certain property known as French's farm to James O. Lyle, which now is part of the Chamberlain properties there."
"This sale took on place on March 3rd 1886, 'after the property had been developed and buildings built thereon in pervious years. Probably about 1863'."
"It has been published previous to this that J. O. Lyle was the first settler in Lyle. With this new discovery it is known now that several have been settlers there before the Lyles' ever thought of taking up a claim in that territory."
Only in America:...do they have drive-up ATM machines with Braille lettering.
