Two of their children were Henry and Lena, who both lived at the farm until their deaths. Frances Wilhelm (long-time teacher) was Henry's wife. Charles Gill (buried beside Lena) was Frances's brother.

Obituary:   (Sandy Post, 14 Mar 2012)
Longtime Brightwood resident Dovie Marie Williams died Monday, March 5. She was 95.
A funeral service was held Saturday, March 10, at Sandy Funeral Home. Burial was at Pleasant View Cemetery in Sherwood.

Dovie was born Dec. 15, 1916, in Delaware County, Okla., to Robert and Mary (Welch) Livingston. She spent most of her younger years living with her family on the prairie.
On Nov. 29, 1934, Dovie married Lloyd O. Williams in Tulsa, Okla. They moved to Oregon in the early 1940s. Dovie worked for a short time as a head cook for a logging company in Tygh Valley. She and Lloyd moved to Brightwood, where they made their permanent home.

Dovie worked in the shipyards in Portland. She eventually left the shipyards and decided to work closer to home. She became a personal housekeeper for several Brightwood-area residents, which included the Bowmans of Welches, who developed what is now known as The Resort at the Mountain; and the Koch family, who owned the lumber mill in Sandy.

Dovie retired in the late 1970s to become a homemaker and nurserywoman. She and Lloyd spent years operating the Mohe Nursery, where they sold azaleas and rhododendrons. After Lloyd's death in 1983, Dovie continued to maintain her home and the land. She tended a large garden where she raised fresh vegetables for her family. Dovie always made sure anyone who came to her home was loved and well fed with her down-home cooking.  She moved to Avamere at Sandy Assisted Living because of declining health.

She was preceded in death by a grandson in 1982; her son, Ray, in 1998; brother, Houston; and sister, Maime.  Survivors include her daughters, Wilma Jean Flanagin of Gresham, Avis Ballard of Sandy and Mavis Murray of Crooked River; eight grandchildren; and five great-grandchildren.

FUNERAL SERVICE FOR PIONEER WOMAN HELD SUNDAY
       Funeral services for Mrs. Fredricka Wilson, pioneer Oregon woman who died on February 1, were held last Sunday afternoon at the Sherwood Methodist church under the direction of J. P. Finley & Son of Portland.
       Fredricka Kurtz was born in Wattenberg, Germany August 15, 1849. She came to Oregon in 1871. She was over 88 years of age when her eventful life was closed. She had lived 42 years in Sherwood.

       The Wilson family moved in 1871 to what is now Wilsonville, the town being named from them, where Mrs. Wilson operated the first store and post office. She herself brought the mail from Champoeg by row boat and later from Aurora by horseback.
       Those bereaved by her death include Mrs. R. H. Thompson and Mrs. W. O.
