Isaac Gratton
Isaac Gratton was the president of the Standard Box & Lumber Company from 1896 until his death in 1927.
Gratton was born in Quebec around 1850, but was - according to a July 16, 1927, edition of the Oregonian - a widely-known resident of Portland for "a great many years". He was the president of the Standard Box & Lumber Company since it was first organized in 1896.
In July of 1927, Isaac Gratton and his wife left Portland with another couple on a car trip to Yellowstone. Their large sedan went over an embankment a few miles west of Pendleton, fatally injuring Isaac and badly injuring his wife "about her head", although she was expected to survive. The other couple, Mr. and Mrs. James F. Debords of Los Angeles, were unhurt.[1]
The Grattons lived at what was then 946 Milwaukie Street (now 4636 SE Milwaukie Avenue).[2]
