Albert Handy, 1881

I was surprised to easily find out who Mr. Handy was and to learn something I've never heard before:

"There had been a time when Merganser, [a settlement] on the west side of the Klamath River, rivaled the Linkville community that later changed its name to Klamath Falls.

The town’s founders, J. Roberts and Albert Handy, were entrepreneurs shunned by Linkville businessmen as unwelcome competitors, so they opened their general merchandise store two miles below Linkville, and Roberts became the town’s first postmaster.
.....
Merganser died in the 1880s after the Roberts and Handy store and others moved to booming Klamath Falls."

Mr. Handy must have died just before the town he helped found was dissolved. Source: www.ijpr.org/post/it-was-town-merganser-rivals-linkville-present-day-klamath-falls-ore#stream/0
