My great great grandfather was Dillard McLin, who worked on the Wigrich Ranch as a seriff in 1935. I am looking for any information that will help me get to know where my fathers family came from and how long they may have been there.
Any help from anyone would be greatly appriciated.
my e-mail is: sulffridge-p-hope@hotmail.com
Thank you for the photo’s

To add more places to find how about Modeville, you’ll find it right next to Hopville. No place markers, but we know right where we are, even if we arn’t on a map. If Buena Vista , another small spot in the road, had become the state capitol, as it almost did, just think of the prime property we would be sitting on now! Ahh well, we have a great little community. Thanks for looking for us,
Kathy Tonkin Pierce.

It was a station on the Oregon Electric, and there is a sign stating “Hopmere” at the crossing.

Here’s a pic:

Maybe some of us who live down here on Wells Landing Road should let Rogue know. There was a Hopville School and 1 year round store and 4 seasonal stores. We have a number of Hopville pictures and history. lestodd@aol.com
