Statesman Journal LOCAL Lincoln Continued from 1C about it, only what has been posted in the auction," he said. The fine print indicates that the purpose of the certificate was to recognize volunteers from Indiana, Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin who served under Union Army Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman. Although the writing is faded and barely legible, it appears to be made out to a "Private Hiram M. Boon 40th Reg.

Wisconsin Vol. Infantry" and is dated Dec. 15, 1864. It has two Lincoln signatures one that looks as if it were stamped and another that appears to have been written. Seleman said he has no reason to think that the second signature is anything but authentic but understands that there always is a risk buying sight unseen.

He said he knows some people may think he's crazy paying more than $500 for a tattered, old, 13-by-16-inch piece of paper, but authenticated Lincoln signatures have been known to start around $4,000 at auction. "Some spend thousands," Seleman said. "I just saw a George Washington-signed document go for $87,000 on eBay."

Norman Arden Kolln December 11, 1913 October 15, 2006 EUGENE Norman Arden Kolln died peacefully Sunday morning, October 15, of natural causes. He was 92 years old. The youngest of 8 siblings, Norm was born December 11,1913 in a log cabin outside Eureka, 1 mile south of the Canadian border. At the age of four, the family moved to a farm in northern Alberta, Canada. The winters were long and arduous and it wasn't long before the family headed south again, this time to Silverton, where Norm's father found work in 1922.

Norm went to school, excelled as a football player, and graduated from Silverton High School in 1930. In 1933, he married Marjorie "Tiny" Tweed and together they moved to McMinnville where Norm was attending Linfield College on a football scholarship. They lived in a college-owned house with the rest of the football team-Norm and Tiny on the first floor, and everyone else upstairs. It was here that daughter Norma was born in 1934. Due to the depression and family responsibilities, the Kolln's left McMinnville and headed back to Silverton, where Norm and Tiny worked a variety of jobs, including in an appliance and plumbing business.

In 1945, a son, Michael 'Mitch' was born. In 1955, the family moved to Longview, where they had purchased a motel and restaurant. It was here that Norm and Tiny came up with a recipe for pizza. In 1957, with Norm at the register and Tiny creating the unique 'gay 90's' atmosphere, they opened the first Pietro's Pizza restaurant next to the motel. It was a huge success.

In 1961, Norm and Tiny moved to Eugene, where they saw the potential for some underused riverside property in Glenwood, which they purchased. They built Pietro's Gold Coast, which soon became THE place to go in Eugene. Old timers will remember strolling Pietro's Alley and riding the merry-go-round outside. Eventually, there were six Pietro's Pizza restaurants in Oregon and Washington. In 1975, the Kolln's sold their business to the Campbell Soup Company and retired.

In 1989, Tiny died after a long illness. The next year, Norm met and married Doris Thore. Together they enjoyed traveling the world and attending as many UO football and basketball games as possible, as well as visiting Doris's children and grandchildren. Norm is survived by his wife, Doris; daughter, Norma Roth; son, Michael 'Mitch' Kolln; two grandsons, Steve and Paul Roth; and two great-granddaughters, Jessica and Kaitlin Roth. Also surviving are Doris's sons, Mike and Steve Thore; and their children, Mitch's stepsons, Tim, Mark, and Sam Miller, and their children.

His daughter, Patricia Sue, preceded him in death in 1943. Arrangements are by Musgrove Family Mortuary, Eugene. Wednesday, October 18, 2006 Brian and Trudy Leupold, the West Salem couple who put the paper up for auction, said they are glad to know it is going to a good home. "This guy, who has collected a long time, is a big Lincoln guy," Brian Leupold said. The Leupolds purchased the document for $6, so they made a profit of $557.

"If that thing went for $100," Brian Leupold said, "I would have been doing a jig." or (503) 399-6710 A REVERSE MORTGAGE: Safety. Security. Peace of Mind.
