We visited the Oysterville Cemetery yesterday for the first time in years. I had forgotten how spacious and lovely it is. It's a Who's Who of notables from the hamlet's early days. For example, this the grave marker of Oysterville's co-founder Robert H. Espy.
Here's the section of Oysterville's application for entry into the National Register of Historic Places that provides biographical information about Espy:
Espy was born February 10, 1826 in Allegheny, Pennsylvania. At the age of 15 he was apprenticed to a tailor but worked at that trade only four years.
In 1845 he left for Wisconsin, and in 1852, travelled overland to the Pacific coast arriving at The Dalles, Oregon on August 27th.
He worked driving an ox-team hauling freight between the Upper and Lower Cascades, wintered in a logging camp, and the following spring, continued on to Astoria where he was employed in a sawmill.
That summer Espy met Nahcotte while cutting piling in Pacific county, but returned to Astoria for the winter where he built a cabin and supported himself beachcombing.
That winter he apparently met Isaac A. Clark, a young man recently arrived from California where he had some limited success working the gold fields.
Originally from New York, Clark was also a tailor who lived for a time in Wisconsin and both men had strong religious convictions.
Together with I. A. Clark, Espy set out to keep his appointment with Nahcotte.
They traveled on foot and by canoe but some distance from their destination they were engulfed in dense fog that would have prevented further progress had Nahcotte not heard them splashing along in the stillness and signalled by thumping repeatedly on a hollow stump with a spruce knot.
They followed the sound as there were no visible reference points to navigate by and eventually they arrived at Nahcotte's camp.
The oyster beds proved to be exceptional. Clark and Espy both filed donation land claims Clark and Espy both filed donation land claims and Clark promptly platted a townsite. They built themselves a log cabin with the assistance of the Indian population already living there.
Oysters were loaded in a canoe and shuttled across the bay to Bruceport where there was an existing oyster exporting operation (founded in 1851 when a schooner loading a cargo of oysters there was burned to the waterline and sunk by the disgruntled ship's cook who escaped in a rowboat leaving the captain and crew marooned).
Soon ships came directly to Oysterville from San Francisco. The price was one dollar in gold for a bushel basket paid on delivery to the schooner which had an average capacity of between 1,200 to 2,000 baskets.
Oystermen would frequently trade their payment for supplies arriving on the same ship.
Chinook Indians were employed to gather, cull and pack the harvest which amounted to 50,000 baskets a year taken from Shoalwater Bay, most of which came from Oysterville.
For the first few years, the beach was open territory for oyster pickers, but soon it became necessary to divide the tidelands into restricted tracts called "whacks" with eight acres set aside for ships at anchor while loading.
Eventually, the cash price rose to a dollar and a half a basket.
Clark operated a store, and in 1858 was appointed postmaster. Espy continued in the oyster business until he was incapacitated by an illness in 1859.
After working a year as lightkeeper of the Shoalwater Bay lighthouse and then mining unsuccessfully in the Blue Mountains, Espy entered into a prosperous partnership with Warren and Company of San Francisco - later known as the Morgan Oyster Company.

The Espy Family of Oysterville
Author/historian Sydney Stevens says, “I often feel that the Espy family and Oysterville are so inter-related it is hard to know which has had the greatest influence upon the other.”
Sydney, herself, is an Espy descendent and lives in Oysterville – the village that her great-grandfather, Robert Hamilton Espy co-founded with Isaac Alonzo Clark in 1854.
Espy and Clark were guided to the area by Chinook Indian Chief Nahcati. The two young men eagerly began harvesting the native oysters of Shoalwater (now called Willapa) Bay, shipping them to California where hungry miners paid in gold for the succulent bivalves. Within weeks Oysterville became a rowdy, lusty boomtown – the busiest anchorage on the coast north of San Francisco.
When the Washington territorial government urged communities to form a militia, Espy complied and was soon elected ‘Major.’ He helped establish a Baptist congregation in Oysterville and, in 1892, donated the land and money for the church building that still serves as centerpiece to the village. When the oysters ‘failed’ in the 1880s and most of the townsfolk left, including his old friend Clark, Espy, his wife, Julia Jefferson, and their seven children stayed on.
In Major Espy’s dotage, when he needed looking after, his next-to-eldest son, Harry Albert Espy, moved back to his native Oysterville, bringing with him his own young family. Harry became a dairy farmer, and in the years that followed was elected justice of the peace, clerk of the school board, and Washington state senator representing Pacific and Wahkiakum Counties. He and his wife Helen Richardson’s seven children attended the one-room Oysterville School, went off to college and, eventually, to lives and careers far distant from the tiny hamlet. Even so, Oysterville was always considered ‘home.’
In 1971, Senator Espy’s youngest daughter, Dale, and her husband, Bill Little, retired to Oysterville and began to work on preserving the fragile remains of the once thriving boomtown. Their efforts, with the help their Oysterville friends and neighbors, resulted in the village’s designation as a National Historic District in 1976.
In 1977, Dale’s brother Willard Espy’s hugely successful book, Oysterville: Roads to Grandpa’s Village brought nation-wide attention to the remote corner of southwest Washington. And, shortly before Willard’s death in 1999, the Willard Espy Literary Foundation was formed. The foundation, headquartered in Oysterville, continues to support writers and artists by offering month-long residencies there.
Dale’s daughter, Sydney, and her husband, Nyel, now live in the Harry Espy home. Sydney’s part of the family legacy has been to ‘rescue’ the incredible collection of Espy family papers and documents, amassed over the century and a half of Oysterville’s history, and to turn the archive over to the Washington State Historical Research Center. Sydney’s book Dear Medora: Child of Oysterville’s Forgotten Years, based upon a small part of the collection, has been recently published by WSU Press.
“I have no doubt that Oysterville and the Espy family will continue to nurture one another in generations to come,” says Sydney. “It’s simply the way it is.”

Hyper Stereo - Cross Eye View, World Trade Center, 1997. Taken from the top of the Empire State Building using a Stereo Realist. I took two shots from the left and right sides of the observation deck and combined them. The two images are imperfect, and the hyperstereo distance may be off; it's all that was achievable in an analog world with the crush of tourists. I feel fortunate to have the image. You can just make out the Statue of Liberty in the waterway to the right of the twin towers.
To view in stereo, sit 2-3 feet from the monitor and gently cross your eyes so that the two images become three. The one in the middle will be in 3d. If you are finding this difficult, you may be trying too hard. Viewing the original size is best.
