  • Notes 
    • Some of Levi D. Couch children migrated to Washington to take part in the paper industry's mills in Oakville, Grays Harbor County, Washington.

      "In the 1800's more lumber tonnage was shipped from Oakville than any other town West of Chicago, Sawmills and shake mills lined the creeks. The logging industry supported the thriving city of Oakville until the middle of the 20th century." - On oakville-wa.org from the Montesano Vidette, October 20, 2005 in the Pages of the Past, 100 Years ago, October 20, 1905.
