Your Toledo Lions Club welcomes you
Cheese Day weekend is the pinnacle of our fundraising efforts. Membership in our Toledo Lions
Club chapter has grown substantially this year and our fellow Lions have devoted many hours of work
to ensure that Cheese Days remains the best summer event in Lewis County for the entire family to
attend.
All the hard work you see is done by community volunteers and all profits from Cheese Days go
right back into our wonderful community. The Lions Club funds school scholarships, school supplies
for some students and food for special school events. Last November, we gave away 75 frozen turkeys
at our annual Turkey Bingo and at Christmas we distributed food baskets to many families in need.
We are currently working on a Veterans Wall of Honor, planned for the north end of Toledo’s city
park. Engraved bricks can be purchased in honor of any serviceman or woman for $100. Applications
for a veterans brick are available at Toledo businesses.
These are just a few examples of the many ways the Lions Club supports Toledo. So have a fun
summer, support the Lions Club by attending Cheese Days and when you see someone wearing the
yellow Lions vest at any of the events be sure to thank them for their contribution in making Toledo a
better place to live!

Chuggin’ along Toledo’s old logging railroad, c. 1920s
By Jake Morgan
Before Interstate 5 connected
southern Lewis County with the rest
of the northwest, timber was
transported primarily by railroad or
down the Cowlitz River.
Few living can remember Toledo’s
railroad that connected Toledo and
Layton Prairie to the former town of
Veness, located south of Winlock in
the 1920s.
The railroad’s path began at the
old Veness sawmill, owned by the
‘Timber Baron of Winlock’ J.A.
Veness, located between booming
Winlock and Vader near the existing
north-south tracks by Ferrier Road.
The railroad stretched eastward,
crossing what is now I-5 near the
Toledo-Vader exit. The railroad
continued into Toledo through what
is now the baseball fields behind the
elementary school, past the Toledo
city park and ran through Maple
Street in town.

The tracks crossed the Cowlitz
River over a trestle bridge at the end
of Maple St. into the former town of
Eadonia, located on the eastern side
of the Cowlitz near what is now
South County Park, and extended
east for several more miles to the
former town of Knab, just south of
what is now State Route 505.
The booming logging business
came to an abrupt halt at the end of
the 1920s when the stock market
crashed and demand for high-quality
timber disappeared. All the rails,
spikes, locomotives, bridges and
equipment were dismantled and sold
for scrap in Portland.
By the time the logging business
picked up again, trucks were used to
transport the timber to sawmills and
beyond.
The towns of Veness, Eadonia and
Knab are no longer around, but a
few signs of their existence remain.
Before the Mossyrock Dam was
built in 1968, frequent flooding on
the Cowlitz River wiped out early
low-elevation settlements.

railroad, check out the Fir Lawn
Funeral Chapel’s exhibit Saturday.

Glenn Thompson, 2012 Toledo Big Cheese
Big Cheese Biographical Review
Glenn Thompson was born in
Orting, Washington on April 3, 1924.
His parents were both of Scottish
ancestry with Native American roots
on his father’s side as well. His
father, Noel Thompson, was born on
his family’s homestead by the
headwaters of Salzer Creek near
Centralia around the time Washington
became a state and lived most of his
life in Lewis County. His mother,
Inez McDowell, was born in
Scranton, Kansas in 1901, but spent
most of her childhood years in
Washington State (NE Pierce and SE
King counties).
Glenn’s parents
moved to the Toledo area shortly
before he turned two. They lived in
town toward the west end of Pine
Street until he was about five, then
they moved to the Saindon place just
north of the old Cowlitz Landing and
the Miller place that is now owned by
Don Wallace.
Glenn had many adventures on this
92-acre place, where he built a dam
on a small nearby creek for a
swimming hole and a fishing pond.
He and his friends also had a great
time hiking down the Toledo-Winlock
(“Haywire”) Railroad line (used for
logging) and playing in LaCamas
Creek near present-day Exit 60.
When he was 8, he got to take a trip
to the beach while his brother Lee
was being born. In the late 1930s,
their family’s house burned to the
ground and not long after (1940), his
parents divorced. At this time his dad
moved to property near Layton
Prairie. His mom continued to live in
the same general area and went to
work as a waitress for a restaurant in
Toledo. She married Ed McGaughey
in 1943.
Glenn attended the Toledo School
District and graduated in 1942. After
high school, Glenn was hired to build
wooden flooring for the Forest
Service’s temporary shelters that
would provide a roof over the heads
of those assigned to listen for the
sound of enemy planes flying
overhead and to string telephone wire
to the listening posts. His work was
interrupted one day by a draft letter,
which said, “Your friends and
neighbors have chosen you to serve in
the Armed Forces of the United
States.”
After basic training, he was allowed
to come home on a short furlough
before being shipped out to Europe.
He left Camp Swift in February 1944
being assigned to Company A of the
302nd Signal Operations Battalion of
the Third Army, based outside of
London. After D-Day, his unit was
reassigned to the Twelfth Army
Group under General Omar Bradley.
Glenn spent two years in Europe,
seeing places such as Normandy,
Verdun, Trier, Idar-Oberstein,
Wiesbaden, Heidelberg, Augsburg,
and Bremerhaven and achieving the
rank of T5. He arrived back in the
States in early 1946.
From 1946 and through the 1950s,
Glenn picked up where he left off in
the Toledo area. He worked as a logger
with his father for a few years and then
started a partnership with two friends
(John and Bob Clark), logging such
areas as the right-of-way for Interstate
5 in south Lewis County.
In 1948, he took Marie Kirkendoll out
on her very first date on her 18th
birthday. However, they only dated
briefly at that time, as Glenn was very
busy with his work and getting himself
established. By 1956, Glenn had saved
up enough to purchase his own place at
the mouth of LaCamas Creek. He
married Marie (daughter of Mark and
Edith Layton Kirkendoll) in April
1957. Around 1960 or 1961, with a
young family and tiring of the
physically demanding work of logging,
Glenn began the task of clearing his
land and going into farming and cattle
ranching.
He and Marie had 3
children: Ada, Dana, and Scott. Ada
died at age 4 in a farming accident in
1962. Dana is now a CPA and lives in
the Kent, Washington area. Scott still
lives in the Toledo area and has had
various jobs over the years that include
being a truck driver and a mechanic.
Marie died in 2010.
In 1969, Glenn began to supplement
his farming income with school bus
driving. He was a school bus driver
with the Toledo School District for 20
years. In 1984, Glenn sold his cattle
and started renting his 100-acre field
for agricultural crops.
Glenn’s retirement years have been
full. He has five grandchildren: Todd,
Kaleb, Jillian, Margaret, and Katrina.
He joined the VFW, Post 3429 in 2005.
Through being a part of that
organization, he read an article in their
magazine about how World War II
veterans who had not received their
medals could send in a copy of their
discharge papers and have their medals
sent to them. He finally received them
last year!

Sandy Miller, 2012 Toledo Big Cheese
Big Cheese Biographical Review
Sandra "Sandy" Ann Miller was born July 27, 1938 in
Laona, Wisconsin, to Joseph and Yvonne Britten, the
third of five children. In 1952, the family moved to
Ryderwood, Wash., and lived with her Uncle Milton and
Aunt Minn Berg for six weeks before settling in Winlock.
Sandy attended and graduated from Winlock High School
in 1956.
In 1955, she met Gene Miller, who was a Staff Sergeant
in the Air Force's Strategic Air Command and stationed
in Tucson, Arizona, while he was home on leave. They
married September 8 at Everson, Wash., where country
music legend Loretta Lynn was beginning her career.
Lynn and The Westerners Band were family friends of
the Millers. Loretta, Gene and Sandy have met several
times remembering the wedding dance Loretta sang at,
and the Millers have toured Loretta’s home at Hurricane
Mills, Tenn., twice.
The Millers lived in Longview and raised their three
children, Doug, Cindy and Butch. Sandy was always
active in their children’s many school and sport activities.
Gene and Sandy built their log cabin on the Cowlitz
River starting in 1985 with the help of family and friends.
Gene worked at Weyerhaeuser, the Chlorine Plant and
Sandy had a house cleaning business, so they commuted
from Toledo to Longview until their retirement in 1990.
Sandy was a newspaper reporter, covering Toledo
News for The Winlock Ledger. She was also a news
correspondent for The Lewis County News, now The
Town Crier, for more than 12 years. The Millers were
members of the Toledo Historical Society, and Sandy has
been secretary for six years now. They were also cofounders of the Toledo Horseshoe Club and Senior
Center volunteers. Sandy was president of the Lone Yew
Sewing Club for 13 years and a member for 20 years. She
was also a member of the Lone Yew Grange and an
overseer for two years. She was a Cheese Day Committee
member for three years, assisting with the queen’s
program and coronation. Teaching oil painting and
greeting card classes to many local area residents has also
been a enjoyable hobby for Sandy.
Losing Gene, the “love of her life,” suddenly in
October 2011 was a tremendous loss, but Sandy has tried
to keep up with her involvement in local organizations.
“
Many thanks
for the love and
friendship
shared. It is a
honor being a
2012 Big Cheese
and I know my
other ‘Big
Cheese’ is
watching over all
of us.

Allen & Sandra Trafton, 2012 Toledo Big Cheeses
Big Cheese Biographical Review
Allen Trafton was born in
Bellingham, Washington on 5/7/1939
and was three years old when he
moved to Days Grove in Toledo. He
grew up in Toledo with his sister
Alice (Ramsey) and brother Gary.
Allen graduated from Toledo High
School in 1958. After graduation he
started working for the Washington
Forestry Department where he fought
fires all over Washington State. He
also worked for the Toledo Telephone
Company.
Sandra (Wood) Trafton was born in
Bellingham, Washington (same
hospital as Allen) on 6/5/1943 and
lived on the coast in Taft, Oregon.
When she was 10 years old her family
moved to Poulsbo, Washington.
Sandra was the oldest and grew up
with two sisters and a brother.
Allen and Sandra met in January of
1959 through mutual friends, Don
Martinson & Judy Thayer (also of
Toledo). They started “going steady”
shortly thereafter. Allen was drafted
into the army in March 1960. Sandra
had a whirlwind month in June of
1961; she turned 18 years old on
6/5/61, graduated from North Kitsap
High School on 6/6/61 and got
married to Allen on 6/24/61 in
Poulsbo. Sandra’s mother and
paternal grandmother also got married
on the date of June 24th.
Allen and Sandra came to Toledo to
live. Allen was honorably discharged
from the army in May of 1962 and
their first child, Linda was born in
July of that year.
Allen started
working at the Weyerhaeuser mill in
Longview, Washington. Their second
child, Wayne was born in January
1964. Sandra was a busy homemaker
but did work part time a few years at
the Country House Restaurant and the
Toledo Shake Shop.
Allen changed jobs and started work
at Reynolds Metal Company 4/1/1968
where he was also a part of the
volunteer fire fighter crew.
They
broke ground for a new home on the
corner of 5th and Washington Street
in March of 1969 (to note it rained
every day in the month of March that
year).
They build their home themselves
gradually as they could afford the
supplies. An unexpected opportunity
to sell their current house prompted
them to move into their unfinished
home and have the adventure of
finishing it while living in it.
Eventually it was completed and has
even been through a remodel and is
the home where Allen and Sandra still
reside.
Allen tended a large garden for
many years and Sandra canned an
abundance of produce. They went on
a couple of fun filled family
vacations; one to Disneyland and one
to Montana/Wyoming area.
Their
kids grew up, graduated from Toledo
High School and one after the other
moved away from home so Sandra
went to work at Wee Care Day Care
in Toledo for 13 years. Allen retired
from Reynolds Metal Company after
30+ years on 1/4/1999. He then worked
again part time for the Toledo
Telephone Company for a few years.
Allen and Sandra have 4 grandsons
(Wayne’s sons) living in Billings,
Montana. Drew Trafton, 24 is a
broadcast journalist and recently
married to a lovely woman named
Annie. Kyle Trafton, 22 just earned a
degree in education from Montana
State University. Nolan Trafton, 15
enjoys playing soccer. And Isaac
Trafton, 13 swims competitively.
Currently Allen enjoys painting and
recently returned from a trip to New
Zealand and Australia with his
daughter.
Sandra enjoys playing bingo, emailing and still loves the beach since
living there as a small child. Together
they have been long time members of
the Toledo Presbyterian church, enjoy
spending time with family and friends,
reading and going to the movies.
Allen and Sandra celebrated their
50th wedding anniversary last summer
with friends and family.

Toledo Students Cultivate Growing Interest in Gardening
Toledo’s school garden program
Our high school's hoop house
has gone from shabby to
productive all in the matter of a
few short months under the
watchful eyes of THS Ag Science
teacher Mr. John Ball and
volunteer gardener extraordinaire
Mr. Chuck Reynolds.
The students have been part of
this project since the very first site
preparation, hoop house repair,
seed sowing and germination,
growing, transplanting and now
marketing. We all should be
proud of their achievements.
Fifty tomato starts from this
project even found their way to
Providence Regional Cancer
System employees in Centralia
and Lacey. Not only are we
nurturing Toledo, we are taking
care of the health-care providers
that care for our community.
The students have also been
selling their plant starts at the
Toledo Saturday Market in town.
All in all, it’s been a pretty
fantastic first year for Toledo's
School Garden Initiative Program
High School Chapter.

Afraid of solar flares?
What if the power went
out all over the world and
the Internet disappeared?
In the new science-fiction
adventure ‘Sunburned’ by
local author Jake Blake, a
massive solar flare is
headed towards the Earth
with only a few hours of
warning. Visit www.
morganonlinemedia.com
to check out a free
preview of this exciting
e-book set in New York City, London, Mecca, China,
Afghanistan, the International Space Station and the small
