I've "rescued" two old photographs belonging to the ROYAL Family of Oregon.
The first is one of Cecil and Esther ROYAL which was taken at the Pickerill
& Catterlin Studio in Salem, OR. Cecil appears to be about 4 years old and
Esther about 1 year old. The photograph was likely taken in the 1880's with
additional notes on the photograph indicating that they are "Mill ROYAL'S
Children" and "Dr. DODSON'S niece and nephew". The second photograph is one
of Ester (spelled differently than first photo) ROYAL which was taken at the
Sperry Studio in Salem, OR when she was just an infant. Also noted on this
photograph as "Mill Roys child".
Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information
regarding the family:
Cecil Lloyd ROYAL was b. 29 Sept 1885 in Polk Co., OR to parents Forester
Wise ROYAL (b. Sept 1860 in Douglas Co. OR-d. 1934) and Ellen or Ella A.
DODSON (b. Aug 1865 in Oregon-d. 1927). Cecil was one of 2 children born to
this couple including a sister Ester or Esther M. ROYAL b. 1890 in Oregon.
Cecil married first married Edna Josephine WHEELER (b. 1888-1890) on 21 Feb
1907 in Yamhill Co. OR and then he married a 2nd time to Jessie Gertrude
RUBOTTOM (b. 25 Sept 1887 in California-d. 1957) on 22 Aug 1926. Cecil d. 2
Feb 1969 in McCloud, CA and is buried in the Mountain View Cemetery in
Ashland, OR.
Esther ROYAL married Lloyd Ellison COCHRAN (b. 10 Oct 1888 in Colfax, WA) on
25 April 1910 in Polk, OR and together they had at least one child.
