Who is Luella Allen in 1930s? Luella Allen found a historic jacquard woven coverlet “at friends home in Lebanon,” in Oregon. In the mid-1930’s Luella gifted it to Kathryn Cornwall Smith. In 1985, KC Smith passed the coverlet to Giff and Mary Jones for safekeeping. On Saturday, 20 December 2008, the Jones brought this bit of Lebanon’s heritage back home. The coverlet may have been woven in the 1840 era. According to KC, Luella told her the coverlet, “... came from Virginia over the Oregon Trail with the pioneer Moise family.” Today, it’s believed Moist may be the correct pioneer family instead of Moise. Who is “Luella Allen?” Was she in the mid-valley? Was her “friends home in Lebanon” area a Moist family (1845, Oregon Trail)? Or was it a member of other Oregon Trail pioneer families – 1852-McDonalds, 1852-McCullys, Crawfords, or Reeves? Where was Kathryn Cornwall Smith in Oregon in the mid-1930s? KC was a Californian in her early 30’s up here studying Oregon pioneer history. She became a journalist. Probably born: San Fernando Valley, California, 1906, and died: Goleta-Santa Barbara, California, 1986.
