Sheri King

Sheri King has lived in Yamhill County since 2007 when she and her family moved to Lafayette.  She began writing for a community website there and while researching the town's past for stories, she realized there was little in town to show for its rich history.  She was given permission by the city administration to apply for state historical markers and provided all of the research to go along with it. The markers were placed and she then wrote two self-published books using the research she had done. Sheri also provided the research for her husband's Early Settler's certificate from the Oregon Genealogical Society and has had six articles published in magazines, and three newspaper articles to date. She is currently a contributor to the Yamhill County Historical Society's Newsletter and has been a volunteer there since 2016.
