In the 1890’s until after World War I, the Womens Relief Corps (WRC) was very active in Oregon. They cared for the graves of our Civil War veterans and our one Revolutionary war veteran.
The Oregon business community gathered for a group photo when the World War I monument was erected in the village square in 1920.
