- He went by Grant.
I called and spoke with Liisa Penner who is the archivist at Clatsop Historical Society in Astoria, WA. She is a very nice gal and was very helpful. She actually lives in the same house that Sherman Grant Trullinger once lived in. She did a brief genealogy on Sherman Grant Trullinger which she is photocopying for me. She is also sending me a copy of the 'Legacy of John Henry Trullinger', a publication about the life and impressionist artwork of his. The cost is $9.95. She said they have all kinds of other historical data and artifacts of the Trullinger family. I told her I would make sure to stop in and see all of it the next time I was in Astoria. She also said she would be happy to show me her home as well. Her work email address isLiisap@cumtux.org. (David H. Drollinger 3 Feb 2012)

Percival B. Sovey, Retired Writer, Dies in San Rafael
A retired editor and writer of the Northwest, Percival B. Sovey, died yesterday morning of a heart attack, at the home of his brother, Louis M. Sovey, 1414 Nye street, San Rafael.
Sovey, who was a bachelor, was an editor of a newspaper in Astoria, Oregon, when he was 20 years old. He was 73 when he died.
While working in the Northwest, he was marine correspondent in the Columbia River basin for the San Francisco Examiner. He successfully interviewed for William Randolph Hearst the elusive Collis P. Huntington of the Southern Pacific, who had left San Francisco to escape pressure put upon him by the press.
Sovey lived in Kansas City for 35 years, editing the Missouri Democrat. He was a friend of President Harry Truman and took part in Truman's entry into national politics.
The journalist had lived in the bay area with his brother for eight years.
Besides Louis Sovey, he leaves two other brothers, Sidney S. and Cecil R. Sovey, and two sisters, Mrs. W. L. Rush and Mrs. S. G. Trullinger.
The funeral will be held tomorrow morning at 9:15 from Keaton's mortuary, followed by a requiem mass at St. Raphael's church. Interment will take place at Mt. Olivet cemetery. A rosary service will be recited at 8 o'clock tonight at the Keaton chapel.
A Death Notice in the same paper mentions that he was the brother of the late Mrs. Harry Cribb; he was a native of Astoria, Oregon.

Sandy,
Lisa Penner, Editor of the Cumtux, ( An Oregon historical publication) was nice enough to send me some articles from the Astoria, Oregon, paper, written while Hope Ferguson ( Hope's Incredible Journey ) was still in Alaska. Happily, they confirm not only the trip, but what a unique individual he must have been.
Regards,
Joe Ferguson/Oregon

Deputy Sheriff Grant Trullinger received a letter yesterday from his old friend Harry Phillips, who was everybody's friend in Astoria...Hope Ferguson, his son, and Tom Bryce spent last night here on the Summit, and left this morning, pulling a hand sled with 400 pounds. I advised them to buy a horse, but Hope seemed to think that they could manage allright. They may possibly get through before it breaks up, but I doubt it, as the trail is getting bad and the weather is miserable. It has been blowing and snowing for a week steady. I will see them at Log Cabin tomorrow, when I think Hope will find 'tis not such a picnic... I started this letter two days ago, and hope to be able to finish it now. Ferguson and the boys left the Cabin and are well on their way to Atlin now, if they have not pegged out. Quite a number of Astorians are in Atlin now...
