Bernhardt Herman “Ben” Lage, 78, who died at the Hilton rest home on January 31 after a lingering illness, was born in Hood River and lived here all of his life. Eph Winans was born in Carbondale, Kan., on February 20, 1862, the youngest child of Mr. and Mrs. E.W. Winans. He took his first look at Hood River in 1886 when the city proper consisted of a hotel, blacksmith shop, three stores, livery stable, post office, depot and 11 residences. He homesteaded at Dee flat in the 80’s and with his brothers built the splash dam on the West fork in 1898. For many years he drove logs on the river and also with his brothers operated a fishery at The Dalles in the 90’s. In recent years he made his home at the Hilton rest home in Hood River. Surviving “Eph” are five nephews, Ross M. Winans, Paul Winans, Audobon Winans and Linn Winans, all of Hood River, and Walter Dickey of Los Angeles; three nieces, Mrs. Otto Hand, Miss Ethel Winans, both Hood River, and Mrs. Lenore Harnish of Portland.

Surnames: KINNAIRD Classification: Obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/nZB.2ACE/331 Message Board Post: The Hood River Glacier, Hood River, OR., July 18, 1918, page 1 T.J. KINNAIRD DIES IN THE HOOD RIVER The body of T.J. Kinnaird, pioneer Northwestern railroad man, for many years a local merchant and for the past two years storekeeper for the Oregon Lumber Co., at Dee, who was drowned at Maple Dell on the West Fork of Hood river Friday, was found Saturday morning. Mr. Kinnaird, accompanied by Alva West, son of J.W. West, had just crossed the river and were at the head of a box canyon when young West, glancing up, saw Mr. Kinnaird swimming in mid stream. The water, while deep, was not treacherous at that point. Young West hurrying to the aid of his companion, a man of 55 years, passed into a depression of the bank. When the point at which Mr. Kinnaird had fallen in the river was again in view the swimmer had disappeared, and the young companion is of the opinion that Mr. Kinnaird stumbled on a rocky shelf jutting over the river and was injured by the fall. He was a good swimmer, and except for an injury or cramps could easily have reached shore. Parties spent the night searching the river. Dynamite and grappling hooks were used. The Oregon Lumber Co. mill and logging camps were closed down, while their crews joined the search until the body was recovered. Mr. Kinnaird, Masonic lodge member, was an early agent of the O.W.R. & N. Co. here. Later he entered business in partnership with J.R. Kinsey. Before that he had been connected with the Transfer & Livery Co. The Kinsey and Kinnaird homes here were adjoining. A peculiar coincidence is that Mr. Kinsey died Monday night previously. His widow and one daughter, Miss Lottie Kinnaird, teacher of the Pine Grove school, survive. With members of the Masonic lodge in charge, the funeral was held Tuesday afternoon at Riverside Congregational church. Rev. J.L. Hershner officiated. Interment took place at Idlewilde cemetery. The casket, resting at the altar of the church, was covered with a mass of floral tributes. ------------------------------------- The Hood River News, Hood River, OR., July 17, 1918, page 1 T.J. KINNAIRD IS DROWNED IN RIVER Hood River was shocked Saturday upon learning that TJ. Kinnaird had been drowned in the west fork of Hood River while fishing near Maple Dell. Mr. Kinnaird and Alva West left Friday on a fishing trip and late in the afternoon were trying their luck at a point just above a box canyon, where the rocky walls rose abruptly from a deep and treacherous pool. Mr. West turned away for a moment and upon preparing to resume fishing he saw that Mr. Kinnaird fallen in and was swimming near the middle of the stream. Mr. Kinnaird was a strong swimmer, but he was impeded by his clothes, a pair of heavy boots and his fish basket slunk about his neck. He was carried down into the box canyon and sought in vain to reach the shore. The nature of the banks at this point made it impossible for Mr. West to attempt a rescue. Mr. Kinnaird apparently attempted to secure a footing on a sunken island near the middle of the pool when he sank beneath the surface. Mr. West at once preceded to summon help from Dee. Nets were spread across the stream below the pool and during the night searching parties dragged the stream and used dynamite in an effort to raise the body. Early Saturday morning their efforts proved successful. The body was brought to this city. The funeral was held yesterday afternoon at the Congregational Church with the Masonic order, of which Mr. Kinnaird had long been a member, in charge. Rev. J.L. Hershner also assisted. Mr. Kinnaird was born 54 years ago in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. He spent his boyhood and school days there, moving west to Malcolm, Iowa, when about 19 years old. He lived in Malcom for six years and there occurred his marriage to Miss Cynthia Maguire. Upon coming to the Northwest, Mr. Kinnaird engaged in railroading and was a trusted employee of the O.W.R. & N. Company for about 20 years. His last three years with the railroad were spent as station agent in Hood River and at that time he was one of the oldest employees in point of service on the company’s payroll. He resigned his position in order to engage in the transfer and livery business here. Later he formed a partnership with the late J.R. Kinsey and conducted a grocery business. When the partnership was dissolved the business was continued by Mr. Kinnaird. Of late he had been in charge of the Oregon Lumber Company store at Dee. Mr. Kinnaird was made a Mason while living at Farmington, Washington, and continued a member of that lodge up to the time of his death. He was one of the men who were largely instrumental in securing the erection of a Masonic temple at that place and had always been a faithful and respected member of the fraternity. He was also a member of the Woodman of the World. To all who knew him Mr. Kinnaird was known for his many excellent qualities as a citizen, husband and father. Many friends will mourn his loss and feel a ready sympathy for his wife and daughter, Miss Charlotte. One sister, Mrs. Thomas Watkins of Portland, also survives. This was posted for reference only.

Kellogg. Born Nov. 18, 1837, died October 17, 1940. Now softly dear father, we did thee farewell, Then softly we laid thee to rest in the vale; In meekness we bow to the Heavenly call, Across the dark river there is room for all. Long years of affliction and trials are passed, At home with the sanctified millions at last, Away on the shores of the beautiful land, Near the pearly gates at the Savior’s right hand. Those locks had grown gray with the burden of years, Those eyes had grown dim by affliction and tears, But storms and afflictions can never cross o’er. To darken the lights on that beautiful shore. That father, dear father, we will see no more. Till we join with saints on that sunny bright shore; The family circle is broken at last, We miss him at home and remember the past. In that bright beauty land, Where death cannot come, Our kindred are tenderly resting at home. Let us plant on the graves of our parents dear, A marble, a rose, and then drop a tear. -- Contributed.

Keeley, who died at the age of 84 years at his home here on Thursday of last week, another of the real pioneers has reached the end of the trail. Funeral services were held on Saturday at the Anderson Chapel, with C.P. Hinrichs officiating in the Christian Science ritual. The expressed wish of the deceased pioneer was carried out when the remains were laid alongside those of his old partner, C.S. DuBois, in The Dalles Cemetery. John A. Keeley, with C.S. DuBois, arrived in Portland, Oregon, in 1875, from California, having come West the same year. The two men developed an orchard in the Mt. Tabor district. In 1900 they acquired land near Dry Hollow in The Dalles district. A short time afterwards, the two partners went into the mining business at Antone, but returned to the orchard business in 1903, when they acquired a tract at Underwood, and in the years which followed developed a fine orchard. In 1917, when both were about to retire from active business, Mr. DuBois was taken ill and died suddenly in Hood River hospital, ending a partnership which had continued without interruption for full 50 years. Mr. Keeley then took up residence here at 927 Wilson st. He became an invalid in 1924, and was cared for until the time of his death by his devoted niece, Miss Carolyn W. Ketcham, who came here from Seattle to care for him. Neither of the partners were married. Mr. Keeley was a man of high integrity, although unassuming in every way. By his quiet courtesy, he earned the respect of all who knew him and even the children loved him. He bore the suffering of the last few months before he died with great fortitude. Surviving relatives are: Mrs. Chas. E. Corson, of The Dalles, and Miss C.W. Ketcham, of Seattle, nieces; Wm. K. Ketcham, The Dalles, a nephew, and D.P. Ketcham, of The Dalles, brother-in-law.

Mr. Jarvis was greatly respected by all who knew him, and was a man who always looked upon the best side of everything. Ralph Jarvis came to Hood River valley with his brother J.G. in 1901 and took up a homestead in the Green Point district, proving up on it in 1907. Shortly after he sold the place to Robert Sutton and purchased the Bailey place at Oak Grove. In 1912 he married Miss Nina Redfield, who, together with five children, survive to mourn his death.

Jones, died Monday night at her home on the Heights. She had been ill for several months. The funeral will be held this (Wednesday) afternoon at the Methodist Church, with Rev. J.D. Lewellen officiating. Miss Jones was born in this city March 16, 1901, and attended the public schools as long as her health permitted. Her parents and family will have the sympathy of all in this their second bereavement, their son Oscar having died but a few months ago. ----------------------------------- The Hood River Glacier, Hood River, OR., July 18, 1918, page 3 A TRIBUTE Whillma Jones was laid to rest in Idlewilde cemetery Wednesday, July 10, 1989, in the lap of earth in the heart of summer. To mortal mind it seems Wilma should not have died so soon. She was young, just in the early spring time of life; she had caught much of the glory of morning twilight and early sunrise; and the charm and warmth of these were felt by her friends and school fellows. In Hood River high school her modesty, her goodness and her strength gave her a place in all hearts. At a time when her home folk were carrying a burden of grief for a son and brother the helpfulness and the cheerfulness of Whillma’s life made home brighter and the load lighter. Four her the year was at the spring; the spring at the morning, the morning at seven, and the hillside dew-pearled; and yet she passed on, but her life had its fullness. Her home, her school, the May street community, her church, and the world were better that she lived. Of her it may be said with the depths of meaning, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” The Master said, “Suffer the children to come onto me.” “And her loved ones gave in tears and pain The flowers and they must did love; They knew that they should find them all again In the fields of light above.” -- Contributed.

Ingalls, who died January 3, 1904, was a highly respected citizen and an early pioneer of Hood River valley. Mr. Ingalls had been a sufferer for a year or more with cancer of the face. In the death of Mr. Ingalls, this community has lost one of its sterling citizens, who was at all times ready and willing to assist his friends, and who always stood in the front rank in all matters pertaining to the good of the community. He was a loyal husband, a kind and indulgent father, a faithful and conscientious Christian, beloved by all who knew him, and one whose loss will be deeply felt by the people of the Barrett district. The bereaved family have the heart felt sympathy of the sorrowing community, and may He, who is death’s conqueror, sustain and comfort the family in this their great time of affliction.

In 1875 he moved to Hood River, coming with the Parkhurst colony in that year, and has resided here ever since. Of 10 children born to Mr. and Mrs. Ingalls, but four survive to mourn with the mother in their sad bereavement. The sons, James and Fred living in Barrett district, while the daughters, Mrs. Perry McCrory and Mrs. Fred Howe, live at Hood River.

Hunt, that her father, Judge L. Henry, who left here a few weeks ago to spend the winter at Long Beach, California, suffered a stroke of a partial paralysis on Thursday of last week. A later communication written on Monday brought no encouraging news and stated that he had been almost wholly deprived of speech. The change from Hood River to Southern California does not appear to suit his physical condition, as this is the second attack, the first one being soon after his arrival there on a former occasion. Judge Henry is one of Hood River’s early and most respected citizens and his many friends here would most gladly welcome news telling of his recovery from the recent attack. --------------------------------- The Hood River News-Letter, Hood River, OR., January 5, 1907, page 1 DEATH CLAIMS PROGRESSIVE CITIZEN Soldier and Pioneer Passes the Divide, Having Served His Country Valiantly in the Struggle for Bettering Humanity We made mention in last week’s issue of the News-Letter of the fact that our most highly esteemed friend and townsmen, Judge Henry, had suffered an attack of paralysis at Long Beach, Calif., and that it was thought possible that death might result therefrom. Sunday, Mrs. Hunt received a message that her father had died on the 28th from the effect of the attack on the 20th. He was brought home for burial and funeral services were held at the residence on Cascade Avenue. The funeral was in charge of the G.A.R.s of which body Judge Henry was a most highly esteemed member. A short address was delivered by Rev. W.A. Wood of the Christian church, of which organization Mr. Henry was once a member, but of late years as there was no organization in the city and he could not attend the valley church, he was not identified with nay, not having attached himself to the present organization in the city. Judge Lucas Henry was a native of New York state, where he was born 71 years ago last October, and from whence he moved to Illinois at the age of ten years, with his parents, and settled at Bloomington. At Bloomington he grew to manhood and at the call for volunteers in ‘61 he enlisted in Company I of the 94th Illinois and served with honor three of the bitterest years of warfare that has ever crossed our land. Returning from the war at the close of his service in married Miss Amanda B_amwell, at Bloomington in 1864. To this union were six children born, of whom but two remains, Mrs. J.B. Hunt of this city, and Mrs. E.J. Parker of Hastings, Nebraska. He moved from Bloomington in 1872 to Hastings, Nebraska, where he lived until coming to Hood River in 1891, since which date he has made his home here. Judge Henry contracted a disease while in the army which has troubled him ever since and was perhaps one of the causes of the attack which led to his demise. He has been in rather feeble health all summer and went to Long Beach in hopes that he would be recuperate during the winter, leaving here on the 10th of December. On a former visit he suffered a light attack of paralysis from which he recovered, but this time the attack was more severe and his system was weaker and could not withstand the shock. Of Mr. Henry there need be but little said. Everyone knew him here in Hood River, and knew him to love him. He was the soul of honor, honesty and integrity. More than one man in the city has had to feel the edge of his sarcasm because of deeds which were not strictly along the line of exact justice, and they have learned to honor the good old man for the honestly spoken words. He has lived among us a quiet, unassuming, kindly life, a bright smile and a kind word to all his friends, there are but few citizens who will leave fewer enemies and a greater number of friends in Hood River when they pass to the great beyond. In the death of Mr. Henry, the Lyon Post loses their first past commander. There has been made 20 or more past commanders in the post and it has been a very remarkable coincidence that every one of them were living until Mr. Henry’s demise. Through the gross neglect of the baggage man at Portland the body of Mr. Henry was not placed on No. 2 yesterday, as was intended, and the funeral which was to have been held yesterday at the residence, was held here today, where many of his old friends paid their last respects to the departed comrade.

Dean, known to scores of Hood River residents by the affectionate title of “Commodore,” died at his home last night at the age of 86. Dean received the nickname during his 16 years as operator of the Hood River-White Salmon ferry, from 1903 until 1919. Since then he was active until last year by filing saws and sharpening lawnmowers. His old ferryboat, the Ollie S., was named for his granddaughter, Miss Olive Sheplar, at present employed by the Apple Growers association. Although Dean was in poor health for several years preceding his death, his philosophy did not include gloom and growling. He spent a lot of time on the streets of Hood River joking with acquaintances and strangers alike. Only last week Dean managed to get to the polls on election day to cast his ballot, saying he wanted to vote a straight Republican ticket. Dean was born near Hamilton, Ohio, September 15, 1850. He was interested in mining and contracting and had the contract for an early eight-story “skyscraper” in St. Louis. In 1894 he settled in the Willamette valley, and six years later came to Hood River, where he located timber claims and homestead sites until he bought the ferry business. Mrs. Dean died two years ago. Two stepsons, A.J. Sheplar of Hood River and T.F. Sheplar of Portland, survive. Dean was a member of Hood River Masonic lodge, for which he was caretaker for many years.
