From The Westfall Country Book. (Birth year is one year before the gencircles ones). Went into the mercantile business in Idaho. In 1905 family moved to Huntington OR where Henry and son Albert worked for the railroad as car inspectors. In 1907 he went with brothers John and Jasper into the sawmill business in Rail Canyon. 25 min. west of Wesfall.

1910 census shows he was born in Virginia, not West Virginia. Per Ancestry.com Oregon Death Index 1903-98. Death cert. 11322 www.ghosttowns.com/states/or/Westfall.html states that he lives in Ontario. 1900 US Census shows his birth year as 1876 and born in Virginia NOT West Virginia.

    I am assuming that Henry is the husband of May since they are both married for 3 years but Raymond's father was listed as being born in West Virginia while Henry was listed as being born in Virginia. Raymond's father is William M. Westfall.
