Went back to the Yamhill Historical Society this morning and learned about Louie Loy. The first time I went, all we found was one small yellow folder on Chinese men in Yamhill County. This morning I happened to meet a volunteer who is currently doing research on very a important man, Louie Loy, also known as the "Chineseman." The society is trying to find where he was buried so that they can place a tombstone over it.
Still having no luck finding out about policies prohibiting Chinese men from owning and living within McMinnville city limits. But I think I may be getting closer to finding more about it. I finally set up an appointment with the owner of the building Chinese men lived in the basement of in the early 1900s. I'll be sure to blog about my experience down there :)
