Trullinger, Loren

Got a SUPER e-mail from a gal who had found Loren Trullinger's picture.  She sent me a copy for the GenWeb page though - thanks sooo much Shelley -- see her overview of Loren at end. His parents were from Fountain County! kbz :)
-- I've "rescued" an old photograph of Loren TRULLINGER which was taken > at the Eastman Studio in Portland, OR. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880's with Loren likely in his teens or 20's at the time. Based on limited research and thanks to the help of a TRULLINGER Family Researcher, I've gathered the following additional information regarding Loren and his family:

Loren or Loran Blodget or Blodgett TRULLINGER was b. 2 Jan 1869 in Middle Fork Township, Ringgold Co., IA to parents Milton Stone or Stonewall or Stonewell TRULLINGER (b. 18 May 1830 in Fountain Co. IN- d. 3 Jun 1907 in Molalla, OR) and Maria or Mariah or Marian Jane HAMPTON (b. 6 Mar 1843 in Fountain Co., IN-d. 1921 in Molalla, OR).

Loren was one of 9 children born to this couple including, Reuben Wade; Loren Blodget; Elenor "Ellen"; John Bunyon or Bunyan; Marietta "Etta" Beatrice; Irvin or Irving or Erwin or Ervin; Washington; and Arcalia or Arcadia TRULLINGER all born between 1867 and 1883.

Loren's father Milton was first married to Margaret CARR in Davis Co. > IA, she died in 1865, they had 6 children together, including, Henry > Clay; Aaron Chatterton; Mary Elizabeth "Lizzy"; Horatio Howard; > Charlotte; and Ella TRULLINGER, all born between 1853 and 1864. > > > > Loren's father Milton was known to be a supporter of the underground > railroad, assisting slaves to freedom in Canada with his farm being > one of the underground rail stations.

Loren married Alice May FLINN (b. 17 Mar 1873 in Wood, WV-d. 10 Dec > 1965 in Portland, OR) in 1891, and he died 8 Oct 1844 in Portland, OR and is buried in the Lincoln Memorial Park Cemetery in Portland, OR. > Loren and Alice had a son, Roy Milton TRULLINGER b. 17 Feb 1893 in Cherryville, OR, he married Nellie Eathel HARTMUS (b. 14 Sept 1902 in Spokane, WA) and together they had a son, Lawrence E.
