Margaret Adelia Neff, widow of the late Michael P. Neff, and daughter of Edgar W. and Elizabeth K. Winans, was born near Topeka, Kansas, Nov. 18, 1859, and died at her home at 239 State street in Hood River, Oct. 27, 1936. William Ellsworth Neff, widower of Elizabeth K. Neff, and brother-in-law of Mrs. Margaret A. Neff, was born in Pennsylvania, January, 1862, and died at the above residence, where he had been cared for in his declining days, on Nov. 1, 1936. Margaret Winans and her sister Elizabeth married the brothers Michael P. and William E. Neff, and bereavement has come to both households in recent years. Both were members of the Winans family, early Hood River pioneers, who emigrated from Illinois to Oregon in 1886 and, coming to Hood River, established residence here and took up timber holdings in the virgin area now known as the Dee Flat and Punch Bowl district. W.E. (Frank) Neff, as he was familiarly known to many friends for many years followed his trade of blacksmith and construction work. Later he engaged in farming in Hood River and near Hillsboro, and upon retiring spent the past several years in Hood River. Margaret Adelia Neff was deeply loved by all who knew her. Early embracing the Christian faith and joining the Methodist church, she lived throughout her life in an abiding faith of peace and reward in the hereafter. Hers was always a life of service and sacrifice for all in need. To only those who knew her best can the sense of deep, personal loss that her passing brings can be known or but partially measured. ------------------------------- The Hood River News, Hood River, OR., November 13, 1936, page 2 CARD OF THANKS To all kind friends whose expressions of sympathy and for many beautiful floral offerings on the occasion of the passing of our sister and aunt, Mrs. Margaret A. Neff and brother and uncle, William E. Neff, we extend our deepest gratitude and appreciation. The Winans Family. This was posted for reference only.

Wilson has kindly offered the use of her parlors for the reception of the Glee club members from the University of Oregon following their concert this evening. Being near the opera house, Mrs. Wilson’s home will be an ideal place for the function. So quietly did J.C. Baldwin pass away at his home Saturday night that even those who watched by him were not aware for a moment that he ceased breathing. Mr. Baldwin had not been a strong man for many years and about 10 days ago he was taken ill with neuralgia. To Mr. and Mrs. Baldwin were born five children, Frank, Edward, Martha, Lily and Wallace, but only Edward and Martha survive with Mrs. Baldwin. The funeral took place this afternoon with Reverend D.V. Poling of the Congregational church officiating. The city received a very acceptable gift yesterday when the chemical fire engine arrived at the depot. It is probable that it will not be unpacked until Mr. Long from whom it was purchased arrives to test it. “Gypsy” J.H. Crossen’s dog, is very proud of her various families and always manages to display them to the admiring gaze of passers-by. Today, she is domiciled in the Blakeley and Houghton window with six of the cutest pups imaginable. She is putting on a lot of “dog” and is getting much admiration. FIFTEEN YEARS AGO (From The Chronicle December 26, 1909) A quiet wedding took place at the United Brethren parsonage last evening when Joseph M. Remington and Miss May Case were married. Reverend H.F. White officiating. The couple are from Wrentham [Oregon] and will make their home there. Charles F. Robinson and Miss Mabel Carlson were married this afternoon, Reverend B.A. Warren officiating. C.L. Phillips returned today from Portland where he exhibited some of his chickens. He brought back five ribbons earned by the birds. Edward Seufert who has been attending school in Portland arrived home today to spend his vacation with relatives. He is a student at Holmes business college. John Hampshire, now a resident of Tacoma [Washington] arrived in The Dalles yesterday to make a short visit. Harry Anderson, student at the University of Washington is in The Dalles to visit his parents, Dr. and Mrs. J.E. Anderson. (From The Chronicle of December 27, 1899) Dr. Belle Rinehart, who has been in New York attending clinics and taking a course in surgery, arrived home this afternoon. She sent no word to the exact date of her return and so surprised her friends. Dr. C. Gertrude French arrived from Portland today to spend a few days with relatives here. Earl Sanders is among the students who are here from the University of Oregon to spend the holidays with relatives. Dr. Ray Logan of Portland spent Christmas day with relatives here. Born in this city December 23, to Mr. and Mrs. H.W. Wells, a daughter. James Cooper and Sayre Rinehart left Sunday morning for the Willamette valley where they will visit for a time. Arthur Stubling, student at the University of Oregon, is in The Dalles to visit relatives over the vacation period. Dr. Harry Littlefield who spent last week at the home of Judge Bradshaw, returned to Portland yesterday. FIFTEEN YEARS AGO (From The Chronicle of December 27, 1909) At the home of the brides parents, Mr. and Mrs. J.L. Harper, at high noon on Christmas day, Miss Elfreda Harper became the bride of Charles Alexander, Reverend Herbert White officiating. The ring ceremony was used. Ray Harper of this city was best man and Miss Letty Carson of Dufur [Oregon] was maid of honor. About 30 relatives and friends were present for the marriage and the dinner following. The newly married couple left for Portland where they will spend a few days. They will make their home in this city. Found guilty of robbing Mrs. W.C. Kortge of a purse containing $12, Miduel Vera was bound over to await the sitting of the grand jury by Justice J.A. Douthit this morning. The prisoner was unable to furnish bail to the amount of $100 so was lodged in jail. Mr.and Mrs. E.C. Price celebrated their 28th wedding anniversary Christmas day with a dinner at the Hotel Shipherd. Covers were laid for Mr. and Mrs. C.J. Crandall, Mrs. W.H. Groat, Stephen Price and Carlton Groat, and the host and hostess. (From The Chronicle, December 29, 1899) Just after the new chemical fire engine had been tested this afternoon, the fire bell sounded an alarm and a flue in McInerny’s brick building was discovered to be burning. The fire was soon put out with no particular damage. An accident occurred at the same time when C.A. Border’s horse seemed to object to the new engine getting all the attention. The horse started out for water and dragged the cart after him. He ran into a young man on Second street and ran over a Jap on First street but did not injure either. Finally, he made a dead stop at the undertakers on Fourth street. He was little the worse for the experience.

It went into operation in 1910, built by Jim Palmer, and according to a Chronicle caption on the 1925 picture, it was operated that day by Glenn Hammond. Earl Mannen and Phyllis Baker knew the right answer, and Phyllis added: “The wheel was located at 1208 Jefferson. We bought the place from (Palmer) and the wheel had to be torn down because too many kids were playing on it.” For information contact Rodger Nichols, 541.506.4603, fax: 541.298.1365 or rnichols@eaglenewspapers.com The Dalles Chronicle July 18, 2004 Written permission to reprint given by The Dalles Chronicle, The Dalles, Oregon Copied and submitted by Earline Wasser Member of Columbia Gorge Genealogical Society c/o The Dalles/Wasco County Public Library 722 Court Street The Dalles, Oregon 97058 http://community.gorge.net/genealogy [Note: new website address] Browse http://historysavers.com/orwasco/ recently updated information regarding Wasco County - Links are at the bottom of page http://searches.rootsweb.com/ "Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds you plant."

Looking Back: A Glimpse Through The Chronicle’s Files July 18, 2004 20 Years Ago, July 18, 1984 A 30-year-career with The Dalles Fire Department ends this afternoon for Jack Bird and fire chief Al Jones is already worried about what the department is going to do without him. Jack Bird holds the rank of engineer in the department and is also the “master mechanic” for the department. He once held that position exclusively, but manpower shortages in recent years has forced Bird to widen his scope of activities within the department. 40 Years Ago, July 18, 1964 Mrs. Collis P. Moore of Moro [Oregon] Friday was elected a vice chairman of the Republican National Committee. It marked the second time in the history of the Republican party, an Oregonian has been elected to a national committee office. Ralph Williams of Portland served as a vice president until 1940. Mrs. Moore, national committeewoman from Oregon, was one of four vice chairmen elected. An eight-year-old girl from The Dalles, Teresa Lillard, scored three wins in the All Comers Swim meet held at Franklin High School in Portland recently. The girl, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John D. Lillard, won the half mile, mile and two mile events in the competition. The 25th anniversary of the election that formed the Northern Wasco County’s Peoples Utility District will be celebrated here August 14, Alf Wernmark of The Dalles Industrial Club said Saturday. At a meeting Friday night, it was agreed that a celebration would be held in the form of a picnic on the anniversary date at The Dalles Dam park. 60 Years Ago, July 18, 1944 Captain and Mrs. Gerald Clayton who have been serving the Salvation Army in The Dalles for 21 years, received orders yesterday to report July 27 to San Francisco where they will sail for Hawaii to take their new assignments. The name of Captain Clayton’s successor will be announced at the farewell service Sunday evening. Mr. and Mrs. D.L. “Mac” McDermott, and daughter, Barbara Ann, of Casper, Wyoming, hasve arrived in The Dalles to make their home. McDermott will be connected with the advertising department at the Chronicle. He comes here from the Casper Tribune-Herald, where he has been employed for the last few years. He has had 19 years newspaper experience in Iowa and Wyoming. The Billy Fields camp, United Spanish War Veterans and its auxiliary enjoyed their annual picnic dinner Sunday afternoon in the spacious yard of Mr. and Mrs. John Wilhelm at Hood River [Oregon]. 80 Years Ago, July 18, 1924 Objections to the charge voiced recently by a Mill Creek rancher, that the city was stealing water which rightfully belonged to farmers residing along the creek, was voiced today by L.A. Schanno and John Milne, members of the water commission. The water commission is simply adhering to the findings of the state water board, as administered by the district water master, and is taking no water to which it is not rightfully entitled, it was explained by the commissioners. One of the advertising features of The Dalles melons this year will be stickers on each melon sold through The Dalles Cooperative Growers Association, advertising them as The Dalles product, and which will be a protective measure against the promiscuous advertising of California melons as products of this district. This statement was issued by L.D. Beard of The Dalles Cooperative Association this morning. 100 Years Ago, July 18, 1904 The recorder’s court was usually dull this morning. The usual vag came before him, but the fine imposed did not swell the city’s finances, for the victim preferred to have work and free board than pay the fine. The clerk’s office was not the scene of any unusual activity today and the news gathered was not in clover. Even marriage licenses have ceased for the time and there appears to be a dearth of anything to point a moral or adorn a tale. Yesterday evening, as Dr. Reuter in his automobile, having with him his three sisters, was attempting to ascent the hill south of the Methodist church, the break [sic] refused to work, and the auto, backing with such force, that in turning the corner into Fulton street, it completely turned over.

Looking Back: A Glimpse Through The Chronicle’s Files 20 Years Ago, May 30, 1984 A series of financial “miracles” came to a successful conclusion at 11:10 this morning and Judson Baptist College became the owner of its campus on Scenic Drive. The “miracle” tag on the process that led the college to becoming the owner of the campus was from JBC President Dr. Roger Crabbs. A large crowd of local and are dignitaries, college officials and students, the major participants in the process and members of the local media and two Portland television stations were on hand to witness the event. Polly Harth and Dan Schooler were named outstanding seniors by Wahtonka High School during an awards ceremony Tuesday night. The winners are selected by the faculty on the basis of character, scholarship, citizenship and service. The awards are provided by the Wyam Kiwanis. Harth also won the Ernie Stranz principals award, the Oregon Scholars award and three scholarships. Schooler shared the Army Reserve Scholar-Athlete award with Leanna Carpenter and was a scholarship winner. 40 Years Ago, May 30, 1964 Numerous awards and honors went to Wahtonka High School students during an awards assembly program Friday afternoon. Presentations included a podium and gavel from Dixie Wendt, senior class president, to Dennis Stovall, student body president, who in turn presented it to Bob Runie, the student body president for next year. 60 Years Ago, May 30, 1944 The members of the Old Fort Dalles Pioneers’ association today inaugurated a custom of selecting each year the grave of a pioneer for special honors on Memorial Day. After the regular American Legion services at the cemetery, the Boy Scouts and representatives of the pioneers and a number of local people gathered to lay a wreath on the grave of William C. Laughlin, grandfather of Mrs. H.L. Houghton of The Dalles as the first observance of this custom. Miss Dorothy Godknecht, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Godknecht of Boyd [Oregon] and graduate of Dufur [Oregon] High school has been named winner of the 1944 Botsford, Constantine and Gardner advertising contest at the university, according to an announcement received today from the news bureau of the university. An award of $40 accompanies the prize. Miss Godknecht is a sophomore in journalism. 80 Years Ago, May 30, 1924 Now that the United States has adopted prohibition, the entire world will soon be following its example was the prediction made last night by “Pussyfoot” Johnson, noted traveler and crusader for the cause of prohibition, in an [sic] public address at the civic auditorium. Mr. Johnson spoke under the auspices of the local ministerial association. The United States, parts of Canada, two states of Mexico, Finland, Norway, Turkey, Denmark and Belguim, as far as distilled liquors are concerned, New Zealand and Austria are dry, the speaker said. The sophomore class of the local high school held election of officers yesterday, giving the office of president to Donald McGowan. James Wray was named vice-president; Helen Saunders, secretary and Frank Devaney, treasurer; board of control member, George Stadelman. Retiring offices of the class are Albert Forman, president, Sterl Boothby, vice-resident; Beryl Messenger, secretary; Donald McGowan, treasurer; Marion Sexton, board of control member. 100 Years Ago, May 30, 1904 The decision that murderer Williams must meet his terrible fate at The Dalles has caused no little excitement here, Sheriff Sexton being one who wishes it might be otherwise. It seems that crimes committed previous to the passage of the law which provides for hangings taking place at Salem [Oregon] must be avenged in the courtyard of the county wherein the county was committed. The last hanging at The Dalles was in 1887, when Cox was hung. Williams’ sentence will be pronounced tomorrow afternoon at 1:30 o’clock. The question of the disposition to be made of boy tramps is one which claims the attention of Recorder Filloon frequently of late. Yesterday Marshall Wood ran in two more, who say they are from Minnesota.
