I don’t know where the person got their information on Drain, Oregon. One of the founders was named Drain, Anna Drain was the wife. Chapman was another founder. There were/are a lot of Woolleys also involved in Drain. As far as I knew they were the ones who had a large stake in Drain. There was a 5th grade teacher named Huckins. I suggest that person go back and do a little more research before they submit mis-information on your website. My parents have lived just outside of Drain for more than 40 years. I found out information on the founders when I visited ‘Drain Castle’ which is now the School District Office and sits adjacent to the North Douglas High Scool. The Mortuary mentioned is now a chocolate store. It was Smith Funeral Home (I believe). When I was in Highschool there was a population of 1,400. It is on one of the main roads to the coast, Umpqua Highway 99. You start from I-5 and end up in Reedsport. Marie Willoughby
