I found her in the 1930 Census living in Hood River and the Oregon Death Index. She is the sister of my great-great-grandmother, who lived in Pierce and Snohomish counties of Washington. According to the Oregon Death index her husband was a Harper Crapper that died before the 1930 Census. I am wondering if there is any connection to the Crappers you are looking for and if you could help with any information concerning their children, grandchildren, etc

The Dalles Chronicle January 5, 2003 Compiled by Elroy King 20 Years Ago, January 5, 1983 Ground searchers worked through the night and helicopters took to the air for a second day today in hopes of finding a twin-engine plane that went down in the Columbia River Gorge with five people aboard. Skamania County (Washington) Sheriff Bill Closner ordered an all night search in the event any of the passengers survived the Monday night crash. Strong signals from the aircraft's locator transmitter prompted searches to focus the search on an area north of Augsburger Mountain in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. The airplane was on a flight from Portland to Idaho Falls, Idaho. The Dalles Chamber of Commerce Tourism Development Committee will contract for an inventory of historic sites in the city.

The Dalles Chronicle December 29, 2002 Looking Back is compiled weekly by Elroy King. 40 Years Ago, December 29, 1962 Preliminary figures indicate a slight increase in Wasco County's gross farm income during 1962, county agent John Frizzell reported this week. The total income from agriculture during the year was estimated at $11,305,400. A major factor in the increase was the grain crop. This was one of the best year's ever experienced by Wasco County grain producers in per-acre yield. The new president of the Wasco County Tax League is Bert Keith, elected at a meeting Thursday. The league re-elected Alf Wernmark vice president and chose Mrs. Charles Phillips Jr. as treasurer and Mrs. Fred C. Spivey as secretary. Keith plans to call a board of director's meeting to formulate a league program for the coming year. A Christmas program was presented by the Wishram (Washington) School Thursday evening, December 17. Opening the program was a musical interlude by Michelle Bunn. 60 Years Ago, December 29, 1942 Purchase of the Maupin (Oregon) generating and distribution system for electrical power by the Wasco Electric Cooperative was the subject of a hearing held today at Maupin before representatives of the Oregon public utilities commission. If the commission approves the contemplated purchase and an agreement is reached on the price to be paid , the Wasco Electric Cooperative will take over the complete Maupin system, according to a statement by W. Emery Davis, president of the cooperative. Negotiations for the purchase have been underway for several months, Davis revealed. There will be room for only 105 persons at the joint Lions-Kiwanis noon luncheon January 4 at which Captain Marion Carl, Oregon's war ace will speak. Captain Carl's appearance here will be under the auspices of the county war bond committee. 80 Years Ago, December 29, 1922 Moonshine at $50 a gallon is a little too expensive, even in these supposed strict prohibition days, is the opinion of George Melcher, who paid a fine of that amount this morning in the police court for having a gallon of the liquor in his possession. Melcher was arrested on First Street by Chief of Police Frank Heater and Traffic Officer Bud Crofton. He had only a pint on his person at the time but at the request of Heater, he took the officers to where the gallon was cached. The fine was imposed by City Recorder Frank French. Drs. V.L. and C.W. Hamilton have established a suite of offices on the fifth floor of the First National Bank Building. The former comes from Coquille (Oregon) where he was also mayor, while Dr. C.W. Hamilton gave up his practice in Baker (Oregon) to enter into partnership with his brother in The Dalles, just midway between the two other towns. 100 Years Ago, December 29, 1902 D.J. Harris, who has been superintendent of the Columbia Southern Railroad for the past year, has handed in his resignation to take effect the first of the year.

The Dalles Chronicle December 22, 2002 Looking Back is produced weekly by Elroy King. 20 Years Ago, December 22, 1982 Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, an (East) Indian guru whose followers settled in central Oregon and took political control of the town of Antelope, today was denied an application for permanent residency in the United States. U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service officials rejected two applications filed by the 51-year-old mystic, who lives on a 100-square mile commune called Rajneeshpurm, saying he does not fit the definition of a religious leader or teacher. Two student body officers from The Dalles Junior High School, seventh graders Kristi Maley and Jenny Smith, raised $36 by making and selling Christmas tree ornaments. The money they raised will be donated on behalf of The Dalles Junior High student body to the Salvation Army Christmas basket program.

Hood Conference girls basketball game played Tuesday night. 40 Years Ago, December 22, 1962 A worker on The Dalles bypass project was fatally injured and another man received lesser injuries Friday during the removal of pilings near the edge of the Columbia River. Juell L. Thomas, 43, Gervais (Oregon), died shortly after his arrival at The Dalles General Hospital. Another worker, Delbert McClain, 40, The Dalles, remains in the hospital for treatment of his injuries. Members of long standing were honored at the December 17 meeting of Azalea Rebekah Lodge 99, conducted by Mrs. Rex Kaseberg, noble grand. Six members holding 50 or more years of membership were honored and 30 members with 25 years or more. All were presented with a remembrance from the noble grand. Among military personnel home on leave during the holiday season are Ronald E. Rogers, fireman apprentice; Patrick L. Ferguson, seaman apprentice; and David D. Skroch, seaman apprentice, all of The Dalles. 60 Years Ago, December 22, 1942 The Mid-Columbia today was the scene of a man hunt in which posses, airplanes and even coast guard auxiliary patrol boats were involved as the result of the shooting early this morning of John H. Golden, Washington state patrolman with headquarters at Goldendale (Washington). The shooting occurred near Mabton. Two youths, one about 16 and the other reported between 16 and 18, were the object of the search.

Eileen Kesti long time resident of Hood River was one of the exceptional women who came to the aid of our country in a time when it needed her the most. As a youth Kesti dreamed of flying, in 1940 she made her first solo flight. She continued her aviation studies and received her commercial rating in 1943 and then was eligible for the WASP (Women Air force Service Pilots) program. She graduated from the WASP training in 1943 and began serving in the Air Force Transport Command. During her WASP career she flew 27 types of aircraft and gained 752 hours of military flight time. Kesti was given a special assignment to go to Washington, D.C. and receive an indoctrination course on high-altitude flying. A few weeks later the 22 members of this indoctrination course were put on a train for the new base at Camp Davis, North Carolina. Once there she started flying liaison-type aircraft, such as Stinson. She flew tracking missions, giving the gunner trainees a target to track. Her status, like the other WASPs was civilian employee. A status she and many others played an important part in changing. Kesti was heavily involved in writing letter to the legislature in an effort to get Veteran status passed for WASP. In 1979 Kesti was given a military discharge, her hard work to change the legislation was not in vain. Eileen Kesti passed away last year (September 5, 2001), but her memory lives on in scrapbooks, photos and in the thoughts of the 685 WASPs still living.

Surnames: Royce, Hooper, Barrios, Usener Anthony Lyle Royce passed from this life on November 4, 2002 in Cascade Locks, Oregon. He was 19 years of age. Services will be held on Saturday, November 9, 2002 at 11:00 a.m. at the Cascade Locks High School Gym followed by graveside services at Cascade Locks Cemetery. He was born in Portland, Oregon on April 4, 1983. Anthony is loved and missed by his family. He was a "Big Brother" in Cascade Locks, and mentored younger children of the city in many different ways. He assisted with the Food Bank, refereed basketball, softball and T-ball games and was easily recognizable in the community by the smile on his face. At different times of his life, Anthony was the Cascade Locks Middle School Student of the Month, the best soccer player on the Middle School Soccer Team, and easily the most naturally talented musician at Cascade Locks School. Even after his student career at the school had ended, he volunteered his personal time assisting Dick Dramer, the school music teacher, playing and "jamming" on his bass clarinet. When he wasn't doing that, he could usually be found "updating" his software. Anthony loved computers, and eventually became very good at computer repair. More than any of this, Anthony is remembered for the good he did on a very personal level towards his family and friends. His memory does not conjure impressions of lingering bitterness towards life. He will be remembered for his LOUD alarm clock, the way he tossed horseshoes, the way he said, "I am proud of you". He will always be remembered as an Encourager. He blest us with 19 years of life; that towards the end was filled with confidence and reassurance and peace. We love you Anthony, and we thank the Lord that we had you in our lives. He is survived by his father, Dale of Hood River, Oregon; his mother, Elodia of Cascade Locks, Oregon; his step mother, Glenda of Hood River, Oregon; his brother, Joel of LaGrande, Oregon; his sister, Rochelle of Cascade Locks, Oregon; two step brothers, Scott Hooper of Parkdale, Oregon and Brett Hooper of Hood River, Oregon and his god brother, Caesar Walton of Minnesota; his grandparents Joel and Dora Barrios of Napa, California and Ena Royce of Navarre Beach, Florida; uncles Ben Barrios of Napa, California, Barry Royce of Oklahoma and Randy Royce of Fairfax, Virginia; aunts Vickie Barrios, Karen Usener, Rebecca Royce and Robbie Royce and many cousins.
