The Dalles Daily Chronicle, Wednesday, July 10, 1895 A Successful Burglar Front page PENDLETON, OR., July 9 – A burglar broke into George Baker’s residence last night, and made his way to the room where Baker was sleeping. Baker had $192 in the pocket of his clothing on a chair. The burglar secured it and got out without alarming Baker. No arrests have been made. Page two Walla Walla [Washington] has suffered a severe loss in the death of Henry Kelling. He was among the most prominent young men of the Northwest, and beloved to a remarkable degree. For many years he had gathered information regarding the early history of the Northwest, and had he possessed the necessary training, would have been the historian of this part of the country, in whose welfare he was so deeply interested. No city had ever a more unselfish citizen, nor one who labored more in its interests. Woodmen Organize at Dufur Ten members from The Dalles Camp, No. 59, Woodmen of the World, started from The Dalles yesterday afternoon at 3 o’clock, their destination being the pretty little village of Dufur [Oregon], and their business not to cut down the timber of that locality, but to institute a camp of the order in that place. Twenty-two were put through the mysteries of this order in proper shape, and are henceforth to be known as Woodmen of the World. The camp was organized under the name of Unity Camp, No. 215, Dufur, Oregon. State Organizer L.L. Swann had the work in charge, and under his management the boys got through safely and returned to The Dalles this morning in the wee small hours. All were well pleased with the trip, though there are some tired eyes today. Thomas A. Ward held the ribbons over the four blacks [horses?], and it is needless to say they came to time under his orders. The wool situation remains unchanged. A large amount is still being received at the Wasco warehouse and Moody’s. At the latter place the new baler was at work this morning compressing a lot of wool just brought by Hecht and Leibmann. Three large sacks, each weighing 400 pounds are compressed into a bale occupying one-half the space. This process is gone through to get a large saving in the freight rate and delivering the wool in Boston just as it comes from the grower. In this way the grading is done in Boston instead of here. Mr. Scherar’s wool was the first clip to be shipped in these large bales. BRIEF MENTION Page three Leaves From the Notebook of Chronicle Reporters Thomas Haslam is acting night watchman in the place of Frank Connelly, during the latter’s absence from town. Yaomi Marsh made a large shipment of peaches to Portland by the boat this morning. The first brought to the market was last Friday. W.H. Turner, the real estate agent of Goldendale [Washington] who so mysteriously disappeared several days ago, has been found. The searching party discovered him at a place about four miles from Goldendale. The unfortunate man is undoubtedly demented and refused to go with the men who came to find him. At the last accounts he was untaken. Chief Moore, of the weather bureau, has notified Weather Observer Blandford to send daily to every display man in his district, the regular weather forecast. Mr. Brooks will receive a telegram every day from Portland, giving a forecast for the next thirty-six hours and the weather signals will be displayed at the old place. Word came in this morning that Mr. Haywood, a respected citizen of Wamic [Oregon], dropped dead yesterday morning. He was working in a field and was suddenly seen to careen and fall. Aid was immediately given him, but it was too late as the end had come. Mr. Haywood had lived in Wamic about six years and was much esteemed as a neighbor and friend. Floyd Van Vactor, a brother of Mrs. Charles Johnson, was severly bitten by a dog yesterday. The boy was playing with a velocipede in company with some other children when the animal attacked him. The wound is not believed serious but is now quite painful. This makes the second case of dog biting within a short time. Several days ago the 5-year-old boy of Theodore Seufert was bitten in the same way. Frank Connelly, Harry Hampshire, Rocky Chenowith and J.W. Fisher started on a camping trip to Wind river this morning. They are thoroughly equipped with necessary paraphernalia and are going to enjoy themselves. They are provided with a small boat and will hunt and fish up the streams emptying into the Columbia. All the details of the trips are settled except as to who shall cook and wash the dishes. These latter questions may cause some dissensions. PERSONAL MENTION Dr. D. Siddall has gone to Yakima [Washington] on a business trip. Mrs. A.J. Tolmie returned last night from a short visit in Portland. Miss Bena Snelling of The Dalles is visiting friends in McMinnville [Oregon]. Henry Dietzel returned yesterday from a months’ trip in the mountains. Hazel Wand, Capt. Wand’s little girl, has returned from a visit to Portland. Miss Clara Davis and Miss Minnie Lay left this morning for a visit at the coast. Judge Bradshaw and family left on the morning train for a sojourn at the seaside. Mr. Brent Driver and Frank Chandler, two of Wamic’s solid men, came into town last night. Mrs. B.S. Huntington and Mrs. H.S. Wilson were passengers to Portland this morning on the Regulator. Messrs. Bert Barrett, Carl and Rob Williams started for Trout Lake [Washington] this morning, where they will enjoy a summer outing. Mr. M. Herrick, of the cannery, has gone to Portland for a two-days visit. There are no fish running, so he can well spare the time. Mr. David Garrison, a well-known resident of The Dalles, has been quite sick for some time. He is suffering from inflammatory rheumatism. Miss Claudia Duvall of Goldendale, who has been attending the Anna Wright Seminary at Tacoma [Washington], stopped in The Dalles to make Miss Georgia Sampson a visit. Mr. David McCully and wife of Salem [Oregon] are in the city visiting the family of their son Mr. A. McCully, engineer on the Regulator. Mr. McCully is an old pioneer of Oregon and at one time was heavily interested in the transportation business on the upper Willamette. Mr. Lee Wigle of Prineville [Oregon] is in the city today. Mr. Wigle is a former Dalles boy, having been raised in this city and attended the Wasco Independent Academy, of which institution he is a graduate. For several years he has been in the stock business near Prineville. BORN To the wife of W.H. Sharp, July 9th, a daughter. STILL ANOTHER RUNAWAY Of all the runaways The Dalles has ever had the most exciting and fatal occurred last night, about 9 o’clock. Mr. Ferguson’s team had just brought the Umatilla House bus from the depot and was being unhitched in front of the Cosmopolitan, when the engine that was making up a train came down the track. The horses became scared and started to run down Front street. They were headed for Portland and going at passenger train speed. The horses struck the switch stand at the east end of the bridge and overturned it. The horses then parted and one started up Union street while the other kept on the railroad bridge and ran to the end of the passenger walk and over the end into Mill creek. The horse fell about forty feet and struck on his head by the water’s edge. His neck was broken. The portion of the town where the runaway occurred saw more excitement than for a long time and people rushed out on the bridge to where the horse made his Steve Brodie jump.* A boat towed the carcass out into the river this morning and it has started for the sea coast. *The Bowery (Raoul Walsh, 1933), with Wallace Beery, George Raft and Fay Wray which incorporates some historical incidents (most notably Steve Brodie's jump off the Brooklyn Bridge), Source: Storyboard: The Newsletter for the Washington DC Film Society http://www.dcfilmsociety.org/storyboard0311.htm 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."

I've discovered that The Dalles Chronicle http://www.thedalleschronicle.com/ has been archiving the entire obituary since April 2003. Prior to that date they were placing abstracts on their website. The only service they don't provide is listing the surnames at the beginning of the article. They do list by individual days though so one can keep current on their obituary articles. The obituaries average three or four a day. Hope this helps!

Surnames: Tillotson, Alexander, Classification: Obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/2ZB.2ACE/319 Message Board Post: The Lincoln Co. Leader, Toledo, OR Sept. 5, 1935 FRANKLIN TILLOTSON PASSED AT SALEM RESIDENT OF TOLEDO IN EARLY DAYS SERVICES HELD AT MAUPIN, SUNDAY After an illness of several years, Franklin D. Tillotson, 71, passed away at Salem, Oregon, Wednesday, August 29th. Mr. Tillotson was born in Mt. Vernon, Missouri, March 4th, 1864. When (a young many he) caught the inspiration of the westward movement and cast his lot in Colorado and Texas for a period of two years. Those states did not furnish the desired change of environment and again he moved west. This time he came to Oregon and to Toledo in 1887. He at once identified himself with the farming interests about Toledo for the next thirteen years. While following his chosen occupation and keeping in touch with the socal environments of the community, he made the acquaintance of Miss Inez M. Alexander, who in the course of time became his wife. His early ideas of farm life gathered in his native state, also Texas and Colorado, induced him to again seek a wider stretch of country to live. This time he migrated to Wasco county, Oregon where he entered into farming in a manner common to that locality and with a quite satisfactory degree of success. In 1909, the death of his good wife disorganized his entire plans and a few years later a paralytic stroke rendered him physically unable to properly handle the big farm. As time passed his physical condition grew more tottery and in 1933 he removed to Toledo where he resided until about three weeks ago, when he went to Salem for treatment. The long affliction accompained by age was too much for medical science to overcome. Mr. Tillotson was a man of excellent character, greatly admired by his family and friends and was tirelessly industrious and therefore an all around fine citizen. He is survivied by his son, George, of The Dalles, two daughters, Miss Genevieve, a teacher in the Portland High Schools and Miss Marjorie, teaching in the schools of Newport News, Virginia. The remains were borne to Maupin and laid beside his wife, Sunday, September 1st.

NEW LABOR HISTORY WEBSITE LAUNCHED Special Collections at the University of Oregon Libraries announces the launch of a new online resource entitled The Labor Project: Dedicated to the Preservation of Labor and Working-Class History in the Pacific Northwest (http://libweb.uoregon.edu/speccoll/exhibits/labor/). The website provides a portal researchers can use to access the documentary history of labor in Oregon and other western states. The site combines the convenience of online searching with a carefully organized approach to research on the topic. At the heart of the site is a database that allows users to search the UOs Special Collections holdings related to labor and working-class history by keyword, subject, date ranges, title, and related authors. Users can also browse the contents of the database in eight different labor-related topics. Examples of archived material housed in Special Collections and referenced in the database include documents on the timber industry in the Pacific Northwest, arbitration papers from the International Longshore and Warehouse Union and other unions, original pamphlets from the Industrial Workers of the World , legal documents related to the trial of Sacco and Vanzetti, and extensive materials from native American tribes in Oregon. Special Collections staff members have identified approximately 100 collections in its holdings that are relevant to the history of labor and the working class in the Northwest. The materials include private papers, arbitration records, corporate and organizational records, and political material. Database searches yield an extensive description of these individual holdings and their specific location within the UO Libraries Special Collections. Additional material will be added to the database as it is acquired and cataloged. For more information on the Labor Project website, contact James Fox, (541) 346-1904, [email protected], or Alex Morrow, (541) 346-5908, [email protected] -------------------------------------------------- Oregon Heritage News is a service of the Oregon Heritage Commission.

Looking for decendants of the above Surnames in the McMinville area. Jacob and Catherine Basche Juker Children: Emma (married L.C. Thompson) Their daughter married a Daniel McCann Wm T Lillie (married Daniels) Henry Katie (married Hobart) Judy Boguski

Dear List members, I have found some records for J. Juker (Military 12/31/1863); Wm T. Juker (Guardianship 12/31/1879) and Jacob Juler (Estate 12/31/1870) on the Oregon Historical Records Index under the geneaology heading that I want to order but the link that should take you ordering copies doesn't work. I have no idea the cost nor an address to send to. I have tried to access the Random Acts of Genealogy Kindness for Oregon on Cydi's List but that isn't working either. Does someone have the information I need or and someone direct me to ordering as I do have numbers of these records. thank you, Judy Boguski

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: RILEY, JACOBS, SHERIDAN, LONG Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/2ZB.2ACE/316 Message Board Post: DEATH OF A PROMINENT OREGON PIONEER handwritten “1902” Large photo of hearty-looking older man sitting with white hair and moustache and full but groomed white beard. He has noticeably large hands which appear strong. Photo titled: JOSEPH B. RILEY DAYTON, Or., Jan. 11 – Joseph B. Riley, who was laid to rest in the cemetery here yesterday, was a prominent Oregon pioneer, being best known as a hotel keeper. Mr. Riley died January 8. He was born at Highgate, Vt., March 27, 1827. He came around the Horn to San Francisco from New York in 1849, in the second vessel which landed at the port. He was part owner of the vessel. For several years he was engaged in mining in California. He came to Oregon in the early ‘50’s, and assisted in building the barracks at the Dalles (Wasco County), Walla Walla and Sheridan, under the supervision of Captain Sheridan, afterwards General Sheridan. He resided in Oregon City several years. Mr. Riley was a prominent hotel man. For years he was proprietor of the Umatilla House, at The Dalles, and also the Commercial Hotel, at Salem. In 1860 he came to Dayton, and February 19, 1862, was married to Miss Senzella Jacobs. Two children were born to this union, both ! of whom are dead. In 1865 Mr. and Mrs. Riley opened the Dayton Hotel, which they continued to run to the time of Mr. Riley’s death. He had been one of the most prominent and active citizens of Dayton, holding positions of trust, and being highly esteemed by his fellow citizens. Mrs. Riley survives him. My great-grandparents George W. LONG and Emma R. MORROW LONG lived near the Dalles and had three sons in the area, and two grandsons were born in the Dalles. Third grandson, my dad, was born in Yamhill County near Dayton. I recently inherited this newspaper article from my Grandma Berniece E. LONG's photos and papers. The article leaves unclear if Joseph B. RILEY's two children lived to marry and have children. Hope this article reaches some RILEY family. I love the man's photo. [email protected] Donna M. LONG
