BICKFORD, Prop MANY PRESENT FOR PENDLETON PRAISED GOLDEN WEDDING FOR HER HOSPITALITY Pioneer residents and those of more recent days joined Monday in paying a tribute to Rev. and Mrs. Troy Shelley, pioneers of the Odell district, in cele bration of their golden wedding anni versary. Brookeherith, as they named their forest-enclosed home in 1882, when they settled there, was the scene Monday morning of a family reunion, ana in the afternoon friends from all parts of the valley motored to the pi oneer home for a reception in charge of neighborhood women. With M. D. Odell. neighbor and the oldest Oregonian born in Hood River county, presiding, the following pro gram was rendered : Singing of "Auld Lang Svne ' led by Mrs. E. 0 Dutro; talk bv Leslie Butler; reading, Miss Martha Ferguson; talk. Rev. W. S. Gleiser; song, "Silver Threads Among the Gold," Mrs. R. S. Caughey ; song by Mrs. David Fence, of Maker, daughter of Rev. and Mrs. Shelley. No Hood River valley couple is more beloved lhan Mr. and Mrs. Shelley. Mr. Shellev for 50 years has been a minister. "He established the first union church in the valley. In the early days he and Fred H. Balch, the latter author of the "The Bridge of the Gods." conducted a revival meet ing at Udell's first church. Mr. Shel ley made a living from the cultivation of his frontier ranch. He never drew any pay for his work of preaching the Gospel. His wife was his earnest partner in all of his endeavors, and thev raised a large family of children. Twelve children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Shelley. Seven survive. They are : Mrs. O. L. Walter and Percy T. Shelley, of Hood River; Ralph S. Shel ley, supervisor of the Siuslaw National Forest, of Eugene; Mrs. Pauline Tal madge, of Seattle; Albert B. Shelley, of The Dalles; J. M. Shelley, of Free water, and Mrs. David Pence, of Port land.' Twevle of 15 grandchildren were present. Mr. Odell paid a touching eulogy to Kev. and Mrs. Shelley, as did Mr. But ler, declaring that they had performed a service, the value of which cannot be estimated, in directing the paths of young men and women of the commun ity toward upright, Godly living. Mr. Gleiser compared them to the moun tains, sometimes hidden by the clouds and the forests of their bases some times smitten by storms, but always shining forth with nobler effulgence when the troublous times were ended. Mr. and Mrs. Shelley were presented by their friends and neighbors with a bag of gold coins. A luncheon of cake and ice cream and coffee, following the program, was served by young girls of the neighborhood. A huge wedding cake was presented by Mrs. G. E. Bowerman, while a bride's cake was baked for the occasion by Mrs. J. M. Taylor. The committee of women in charge of the reception included: Mrs. Bowerman, Mrs. M. D. Odell, Mrs. Will Kemp, Miss J. E. Ferguson; Mrs. J. M. Taylor, Mrs. Ben Krohn; Mrs. harry Gonnaway. For a half century the devotion of Mr. and Mrs. Shelley for each other has been an inspiration to their friends. No honeymooners ever appeared hap pier than did this bride and irroom of 50 years Monday. Each them of gave advice that might well be heeded by young men and women of today. "It appears to be the custom of young people today," said Mr. Shel iey, "to have a good time and to play with the most sacred affections of the human heart. You cannot do this and live happy married lives afterward. 'Whatsoever thou sowest, that shn.lt thou also reap. ' Mv wife and I held our affections safe for each other." Mr. Shelley told of his trip to Ore gon with his parents in 1848 when he was not yet four years old. He de clared that he was one of the tirst to travel over the Loop Highway, the old Barlow trail as it was then known. "The wagon had to be let down over Bald hill by ropej," said Mr. Shelley, "I remember that hit of the trip very well. My mother carried me down the dangerous grade in her arms. Continuing Mr. Shelley told of his courtship. He went to California to attend normal school near San Fran cisco, and there met Mrs. Shelley, Annie H. Lewis, a schoolmate, who had come from Westfield, Mass., in 1866, making the trip by way of Pan ama, to make her home with an uncle, Albert Brayton. "I returned to Oregon," he said, "and most of my courting was done by correspondence. Finally 1 reached a point where 1 gathered enough courage to ask the momentous question. The mails were poor in those days and slow. My letter went astray. Nine months after 1 had written it I got it back from the dead U tter office. I'll bet those dead letter i lerks had a good laugh at my expense. But I immedi ately readdressed it to Miss 1ewis, and after another short wait I received a reply, a favorable reply. She came north and we were married at Rick reall at a camp meeting." Mr. Shelley paid a glowing tribute to his wife, declaring her truly his life's partner. He said that many times it was she who had held aloft his hands when he was tired and drooped from daily conflicts. Mrs. Shelley urged young women contemplating matrimony to fully make up their minds that they were going to live with their husbands. "Divorce was something we didn't consider much when I was young." she said, "and then we thought of it as something terrible It wasn't as fashionable then as now. "Girla should demand that their fu ture husbands be honorable, honest and God fearing. And another thit.g to remember, when you start to keep ing house you mu.-t have a menagerie ; you must have 'bear and forbear.' Never get angry, at least, not both of you at the sfrme time." . Mr. Shelley ia a native of Iowa, born January 6, 1845. His wife was born February 15, 1867. at Westfield, Mass. The family of the former Settled on Pleasant Hill, ten miles southeast of Eugene. Liter they moved to Mon mouth. Following the return of Mr. Shelley from Calif'-rnia normal school he settled in eaMern Oregon. He preached his first sermon November 28, 1869. He was ordained as a minister in June, 1870. He was elected Wasco county school superintendent in 1890. serving for three consecutive terms. Mrs. Shelley is a cousin of General Joe Hooker, of CimI war fame. She and the noted general were born in the same bouse. Among the Portland folk here for the golden wedding celebration were : Mrs. E. H. Per . Mrs. J. Mackav. Mr. and Mr. A. M. Hayue and Henry bSVlB, the latter a brother of Mrs. Shelley. y. Mary s ' atholic Church r-n at retort:, eacfa Patnrda.v mora tf (By S. F. Blythe) The Hood River delegation to the Department encampment, G. A. R. , at Pendleton, consisting of G. R. Cast Mr, S. F. Blythe and H. C. Rush, re turned Friday. Of the Relief Corps, Mrs.- Jennie Bentley, past president of the Department of Oregon, W. R. ('., Mrs. J. C. Meyer, president of Canby "orps, Mrs. Alida Shoemaker and Mrs. 1). E. Stanton. The good people of the Round-Up City were generous in their hospital ity." as always is the case wherever the Grand Army pitches tent within the confines of patriotic Oregon. Two hundred autos were at the command of the veterans during the three days the conventions were In session, and the visitors generally availed themselves of the opportunity to see the big wheat fields and other attractions of the sur rounding country. After the camp tires at night the visitors were taken to their respective lodgings. Attendance of G. A. R. comrades was less than at any previous encamp ment for years. Feebleness from ad vancing years and long distance from the center of population were the chief causes for the light attendance. A man whom the department of Ore gon delights to honor was elected Department Commander. He is C. A. Williams, of Gladstone. For 14 years he was assistant adjutant general of the department. The parade was one of the best and most satisfactory the Department has ever taken part ,n. Its success is to be attributed to Col. Micah Evans. Commander of Lincoln-Garfield Post of Portland, who was Marshal. The pa rade formed near the court house. Promptly, as the clock in the steeple struck 10 the parade moved the first time in the history of the Department of Oregon that a parade moved on time. The weather was cool and de lightful for marching, and, unencum bered by their less fortunate and de crepit'eomrades, the old boys marched with as firm a step as they did in iha days of '61. The department drum corps furnished music for the parade. Several former Hood River residents were found, among them Mrs. L. L. ForreBt and Mr. and Mrs.W.H. Bishop. Mr. Bishop is chief clerk at the agency for Umatilla Indians, six miles east of Pendleton. Comrades Castner and Blythe were taken by Mr. Bishop in his auto to the agency, where they were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Bishop from Thursday noon until train time Friday, at 12.20 p. m. In the afternoon of Thursday the guests were taken on a drive of II miles to the top of a mountain called Cabbage Hill. No cabbage was found, but green fields fifteen hundred or more feet above the valley, where no irrigation system could reach, were to be seen. Here the Indians from the reservation had built a large corral of fine logs and the visitors saw them round op about one hundred horses. When driven into the corral horses were lassoed, thrown to the ground, saddles put on them, and then, with only the halter, young Indians would mount and the fun of bucking com menced. Mr. and Mrs. Bishop wished to be remembered to their many friends in Hood River. They are happily situated and blessed with good health. D. E. Stanton, G. A. R. veteran of Hood River, was visited at the state hospital and found to be a very sick man. His mind was clear but he is confined to his bed, not able to walk. His wife visited him. She found him anxious to come home. He expressed the wish to come so that he might die at home. The Home of the Soul In olden times, it was behoved that the seat of the soul was the stomach, most likely for the reason that a man is never so comnletelv used up as when his stomach is out of order. For the cure of ordinary stomach troubles there is nothing quite so prompt ana Batis- fiictiru hh I !hn ii , ! ., i In i n' - Tablets. They strengthen the stomach and en able it to perform its function natural ly. Give them a trial. Thev only cost a quarter. Mrs. (iilmore Buried Tuesday Funeral services for Mrs. Robert Gilmore, of Lyle, Wash., whose death occurred at The Dalles hospital Sun day, were conducted at the graveside, Idlewilde cemetery.
