scheubers in Chehalis
Found this on a website a few days ago. I think this is the place where Ernie and Maryjane went to this last year. I have been doing genealogy research in Chehalis since my grandfather on my dad's side had a farm there in 1906-1909.
ALFRED SCHEUBER FAMILY
While driving west on Hiway Number 6 towards Raymond about two miles from
Chehalis, were you to look to the right you would see an old story farm house
and an old barn on the hillside. This has been the Scheuber Farm since sometime
around 1885. This is about the time that Fred Scheuber came to this
country from
Switzerland and homesteaded 280 acres.

There were seven children in the family, three boys and four girls.
The Scheuber
children attended school at Claquato at that time. Two of the boys, Alfred and
Conrad, more or less remained on the farm. Alfred worked in several logging
camps throughout the east end of the county and as far north as Everett, while
Conrad stayed on the farm. Around 1925, Alfred moved back to the farm full-time
with his brother. In 1929, Alfred married Josephine Walch of Adna. They had
three children, Joe and Fred of Chehalis and Louise Lyle of Astoria, Oregon.
Conrad never married. Until 1938, the only access to the farm was an old wagon
road, known as Military Road. That year a new road was built from Hiway 6 to
Centralia and is now known as the Schueber Road.
The two brothers farmed together until 1965 when the farm was
sold to the
Hamilton family and became part of Hamilton Meadows.
The Alfred Scheubers celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in July,
1979. Alfred Scheuber is still residing on the farm while Conrad resides in
Centralia.
