Sherwood News Sheet January 10, 1912
Of more than passing interest is a photograph of five brothers now in the 
possession of Walter L Tooze jr of Dallas.The quintet were left orphans 46 
years ago and seperated at that time,Fred J Tooze,being at that time an infant 
in the cradle.For the first time since that seperation,the five brothers met 
last week at the beautiful residence of Professor F.J Tooze,at Oregon 
City,where,with the wives and children a magnificent banquet was enjoyed,a 
banquet that formed a striking contrast to the log cabin scene of desolation 
near Battle Creek,Michigan,in 1865,when the mother died,leaving these orphan 
children to practically care for themselves.One brother,Henry Tooze,of 
Banfield,Michigan,was unable to attend.
Of these brothers,Walter L.Tooze became the earliest resident of oregon,coming 
here in 1877,and for 25 years has been active in the politics of the state.he 
now resides at Fall City,Polk county.
Frank F Tooze,a prominent farmer in Sherwood,Oregon,and Chas T Tooze,an 
attorney of Oregon City,came to oregon in the fall of 1877.David C Stiles 
Tooze lives at Banfield,Michigan,and is passing the winter in Oregon,with his 
wife and daughter.he is staying at Oregon City.
Professor Fred J Tooze is superintendant of City schools at Oregon City.
