Some history I got from Dad:
Claus Henry Legbandt is my great grandfather, and brother to John Peter Legbandt. John came over from Germany first, then sent for his brother Claus, who sailed out of Hamburg as a merchant seaman, landing in Astoria. John was one of the first settlers at Doe Bay and owned and farmed a fairly large parcel of land, part of which he deeded to the first school built on that part of the island. The balance of the land was given to my dad’s Aunt Kate, and he was forever sore about that. I believe that Kate’s husband eventually sold the land, and the property was developed into a large country club on the south part of the island, and is now a resort complex. The property lead up from the south dock directly up north to the top of the mountain. Dad had visited there several times and used to go hiking and hunting in the mountain. He recalled looking at the sunrise to the East from the top of the hill. John Peter lived most of his life in a sod roofed one-room house built into the slope of a hill looking East, and it too was directly up hill from the docks and slightly East and not too far from a natural spring coming out of the rocks. He grew potatoes and short corn, trading them for what he needed. Below his house was a dirt road. Might be interesting to look at a development map of the island or find out from old records exactly where the property was.
Anna was his wife, (my great-grandmother) who I believe came west from Wisconsin in a wagon about 1879-1880. I think that she died from pneumonia the year before dad was born. The old wooden hand made treasure box that mom had (with the name Mary on it) belonged to her and was made by her father, a woodworker (I recall that he had a lumber mill). Mary was the name of Anna’s mother in Wisconsin.
