150 Years 1887-1901 The Dalles THE DECADES OF HISTORY PART THREE OF THE DALLES CHRONICLE'S TEN-PART SERIES. April 27, 2007 Page 6 MRS. ROGERS POISONED DEATH OF MATILDA ROGERS - Verdict of the Coroners Jury -William Bergfeldt the Accused The sudden and somewhat mysterious death of Matilda C. Rogers, June 30th, at the Rogers farm on Mill creek, lead to an investigation by a coroners jury, about which our readers are familiar. That the jury found evidences sufficient to warrant the arrest of William Bergfeldt, son-in-law of deceased, is shown by the verdict, from which we quote as follows: We the jury empanneled [sic] by the coroner of Wasco county, Or., to inquire into the cause of the death of the late Matilda C. Rogers, find that her death was caused by poison administered by some person; that we have, from the testimony taken and presented to us, good reason to believe that Wm. Bergfeldt is the person who is guilty, and who was instrumental in procuring the means of producing her said death by poison. Signed: S.B. Adams, Charles F. Mitchell, H.H. Smith, Hugh Gourlay, Charles W. Harter, Geo. A. Liebe. Dated Dalles City, July 29th, 1892 Soon after the signing of the verdict the accused was placed under arrest, and at 2 p.m. was arraigned before Justice Schutz for examination on the charge of murder, attended by Judge A.S. Bennett as counsel. Hon. W.H. Wilson, district attorney, appearing for the state. Attorney's presented the case, and pending the question of bonds under the statues, which was taken under advisement by the court, the matter was postponed until 5 p.m. today. The defendant was remanded to the custody of the sheriff.

There were a lot of rancher's that came in from there to Heppner. Got to know many of the names. Later when I moved to Hermiston I worked in the Groc. d stores, Safeway and Stewarts Mkt. in abt.1964/5 I moved to Pasco Wa. and worked there in Restrant and Groc stores. a lot of jobs were only hireing for 3 or 4 days so had o get another one to get mpre working time to live.

Thanks Dan & Welcome to sunny central Oregon. I've been playing with USA Place Names on the web at http://www.placenames.com/us/41/ for Oregon. Found out some interesting things, like populated places in Crook County include Powell Butte, Prineville, Post, Paulina, Roberts, Suplee & Forrest Crossing. Now I've lived in Crook for over 50 years now and was surprised to hear of a populated place called Forrest Crossing. Its located just east of highway 97 between Madras & Redmond on NE Smith Rock Way.
