Looking at Falks in Linn County Directories

Yesterday (January 13th) I posted the Albertsons I found in the rural directories for Linn County Oregon for 1953-54 and 1956-57. Today I'll share the Falks I found in those same directories.

There were 9 entries which were in both directories. These are listed here as in the latter directory with a note if there was a change in acreage between the two.

Name Address Acres Section Township Range 

Falk, Char. L. & Elizabeth R1 B 66 Halsey 160 17 14 3W

Falk, Esther E R1 B 5 Halsey 160 8 14 3W

Falk, Florence E R2 B 37 Harrisburg 160 34 14 4W

Falk, Helen L & Russell R3 B 84 Lebanon 33* 14 11 2W

Falk, Leslie & Virginia R1 B 26 Halsey 361 32 13 3W

Falk, Louis R R1 B 73 Halsey 190* 9 14 3W

Falk, Omar E. & Phebe R1 B 35 Halsey 263 28 13 3W

Falk, Russell C & Helen R3 B 84 Lebanon 6 14 11 2W

Falk, Wm. A R1 B 6A Halsey 80 8 14 3W

*in 1953-54

Helen was listed with 34 acres

Louis was listed with 160 acres

All of these Falks are found on my website: www.joanneskelton.com

However in the 1956-57 directory there is a Falk listing which is a mystery to me who he is.

Falk, L. S. R1 B 33 Brownsville 300 12 14 3W

Is there someone out there who can enlighten me?

It was fun to find that by the 1956-57 directory, Falks (including mystery man) owned 1713 acres of Linn County.
