Douglas was born in Portland, Oregon to Constance and Walter Frazar Burrell. He grew up loving horses and the out of doors. His father wanted his sons to become business men and help grow the family's fortune. It was not to be even though all effort was made by his father.
Walter saw to it that his sons lost many jobs that didn't meet with his vision for his sons.
Douglas and his brother both jointed the U.S. Army during WWI and served stateside. They were both assigned to artillary units. Alden, played on a military polo team with success.
It was said that Doug was one of the top ranked Oregon bridge players. He was one who was always out to win and so found it easy to be invited to play with the best.
He met, Breatrice Mary Dick at a party given by a relative and they quickly fell in love. Their father's had few good things to say about each other and disaproved of the marriage. They were not a young couple and so moved ahead with marriage plans. After marriage they moved into an apartment in NE Portland on Vancouver Ave and my father worked as a game officer with the State Police in such places as Sauvie Island and the Columbia and Willamette Rivers. Sometimes he made trips to Central Oregon as a part of his job.
He was an honest Oregon State Policemam. He knew the govenor that started the police force and decided to become envolved. He joined to make a better state. He was an Oregon State Patrolman for nine years. But, there were wrong actions taking place within the new union. He would not look the other way and was forced out by them.
They took what money they had saved an started a logging business out toward Forest Grove, Oregon. Doug had gone in with a partner that destroyed the company by not doing his part in the operation.
Times were tough and getting a job was hard. Doug headed to California with his wife Bea to look for employment and stopped in Eugene for gas. There was a sign posted at the station saying Rowe River Lumber needed loggers and he went and applied. He was hired as a high climber and timber topper. They lived in company housing near the Row River Lumber Camp close to Dorena, Oregon southeast of Eugene, Oregon.
