Roy Cook: Nope, I don't recall a road there.

Bob Zybach: Or how about this side of the Govierfamily, do you recall anything about them?

Roy Cook: Nope.

Bob Zybach: Okay.

Roy Cook: It was narrow. There were bushes along side of it. I remember you had to, you damned near rubbed into the bushes, particularly on up the line up there.

E. Soap Creek Schoolhouse

Bob Zybach: Can we stop here next to the school house a little bit? Okay, there's an old tram road that used to go up to a mill right up on the turn here. Do you know anything about that?

Roy Cook: No.

Bob Zybach: Do you remember anything about the school at all?

Roy Cook: Nope.

Bob Zybach: Okay. Now there's another road turning down here to the right. There 's a German guy [Dorgan] that lived where that blue house is.

Kevin Sherer: [KEVIN] What about this structure.

Roy Cook: I don't remember. It was probably there, but I. . . This road didn't exist to my knowledge. I don't remember it.

Bob Zybach: Okay. Writsman 's Creek?

Roy Cook: I don't recall it. It could have been there.

Bob Zybach: Okay.

Roy Cook: It may have been just a little road that went off to a little horse logging operation, you know. Used to be houses over there again, that's. . . And there were some Dorgans lived up here.

Bob Zybach: Dorgans were in the blue house there.

Roy Cook: Where?

Bob Zybach: Back there at the blue house. That was Dorgan 's, yeah.

Roy Cook: Is that where they were?

Bob Zybach: Yeah.

Roy Cook: Yeah, they were quite a family, I guess.

Bob Zybach: Do you remember anything about them?

Roy Cook: No, the only thing I can remember is that he worked helping with the logging and he took his lunch and she'd always wrap his sandwiches in toilet paper. It was sort of a standing joke. I guess she was, the hillbilly type. I guess she was a pretty good egg, though, from what my mom says.

Bob Zybach: She was supposed to be a good musician. Did you ever hear anything about that?

Roy Cook: I don't recall anything.

Bob Zybach: Okay.

Roy Cook: Somewhere over in there he. . . I think Mr. Dorgan got killed in a logging accident. Team of horses ran away, and they. . . He was dragging a log and he was standing on the log or something and the horses team. . . One horse went on each side and he baled into the trees, over in there 'cause mom used to point out where this guy got killed and it seemed like it was Dorgan I don't remember now. It was on the other side. He ran into a little grove of maple trees and he baled head first into a tree.
