Ovid

This poor family needs a break. There were so many misspellings,
to try and straighten it out was next to impossible.
The only thing that was a constant was the name Ovid.

The name variants in this family were...
Milborn, Milbourne, and Holston. The correct information is below.

Horace Ovid Milbourn b.May 14, 1886 Elma,Wa. d.Jul 24, 1954 Harbor,Curry,Or.
wife Eleanor F. "Nellie" Holtine b.1/1895

and their son...
John Holtine Milbourn son b.Jul 21,1919 d.Dec. 1986 Kingston

Ovid was a part of the community at Quinault in the 1900's, he went on to become the Fire Warden in Forks Washington around the 1920's. And in 1926, he is listed as a "prospector" in Port Angeles.

..."They came down the river with Otto Kestner and George Underwood, an Indian boy,

Mrs. Dunlap and the baby girl lay in the bottom of the canoe while the men dragged it over the jam. When they reached Taholah they hired an Indian to bring them down to Moclips by wagon."...
