An obscure post office in the Tillamook area called Barnegat was run by a Mrs. Biggs, who was Hauxhurst's daughter.
Cape Meares Lake was formed from Biggs Cove after some engineering by the USCE to fix a breach of the Bayocean peninsula. The former cove was named for John A. Biggs, son-in-law of Hauxhurst (and, I assume, husband of Mrs. Biggs, above).
Pitcher Point in the same vicinity was named by Hauxhurst because of a prominent rock that resembled a milk jug. The rock doesn't exist anymore.
I think the last bit about Pitcher Point could go in since I'm guessing the point is still there and named that, even though the milk jug is gone. Even the bit about the daughter being a postmaster could go at the end. Thanks for looking that up. Aboutmovies16:10, 12 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
