Francis Hess oral history recording on early Sherwood and Keizur Family history

An audio recording of an oral history of Francis Hess concerning early Sherwood, Oregon and the Keizur Family. Hess was the descendant of the Keizurs who came to Oregon in the 1840s, after whom the town of Keizer is named. He retells stories of his grandmother, Mary Louise Keizur, who crossed the Oregon Trail; and stories about Sherwood in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Much of the recording consists of the interviewer reading from sources related to locations and people in Sherwood or the Keizur Family, and Hess responding with his memories. At 9:57 through 10:26, an unrelated radio broadcast is taped over the original recording.
