I am trying to locate information and lay to rest for once and all the rumor of a 'Mrs. Ayers', a foster mother being shot by a foster child; his last name Oleman. Approximate date is Dec. 1906 or Jan 1907. This would have taken place possibly in Scapoose, Columbia County, Oregon.

Your message board is the closest I have come to foster children. The grandaughter of Oleman is devestated when her family mentioned this rumor, so I am trying to help find out the details. I haven't found anything in OR obits back then. Thank you for your time, mary anne stubbs campbell
