Day before yesterday (November 26) I
posted about the Falk family members who were listed on the
database of Oregon motor vehicle
registrations from 1911 to 1946. So I searched for my grandfather,
Julius A. Falk.
Yes, he did have a car, but it wasn't
until 1921. He was listed as J.A. Falk of Harrisburg for February
1921 with a Reo touring car, not a Ford. I suspect he had used horse
and buggy or wagon until then.
My mother, Wilma Falk, would have been
nine years old when they got that car. Her sister Lois would have
been five and Erma one. I can believe that it was exciting for them.
Sometimes it is hard to remember that family I knew personally lived
in the horse and buggy days.
