Based on my research, I had assumed George W. Larner had only spent enough time in Oregon to get married and then come back again for the birth of his son John (his birthplace is Portland). But this page from the 1903 Portland City Directory (and 1904 and 1906) shows him residing at 1087 Vaughn and working for US Customs in Portland. It would appear that Walter Scott Larner's birth in Marcus, WA is more of a "detour" than John's birth in Portland. George and Amelia probably lived in Portland from at least 1902 (possibly earlier - they were married here in 1896, but Walter was born in Marcus in 1899) through about 1907, when they moved to Seattle for four years and then on to the Wenatchee area, where George died in 1928.
