GRANDMA DOWNS Death of this 102-year-old gre.t-great-
grandmother grieves many friends.. 't '; ; , '
Centenarian. Ex-Resident Of
Drain Vicinity, Passes Away
; By CORINNE GRAVES WOODARD .' ,' --Grandma
Downs is dead. '. -. ' : "
She died a week past her 102nd birthday, having out-lived five
of her. 10 children. .; . ' ' . ...'..
A few Douglas county residents may remember the bent,' cheer
ful little old lady who lived for several years with the Bert Graves
family on a farm northeast of Drain. She was Grandma Downs.
Herself the youngest of nine 1 :
children, she was born in Ohio
November 7, 1847, and named
Margaret Louisa Van Dorn. Hers
was a nloneerlng family, de
scended from New York and New
Jersey colonists of the late 17th
century. Her father, Ellsha Van
Dorn, nomesteaoea near Mans
field, Ohio, in the area of our
Dresent-day author Louis Brom-
field's "Malabar Farm."
In 1856, the family moved to
Iowa, where they homesteaded
near West Union. There Louisa
Van Dorn met and married John
Merrlt Downs in 1866, when she
was nineteen years old.
It was in 1873 that John and
Louisa Downs came to Oregon.
Covered-wagon days were past
and the railroads had spread
their network from ocean to
ocean. While John Downs drove
his herd of cattle and wagon
load of household goods across
the mountains, Louisa Downs
took the three children on the
train to San Francisco. From
there, they proceeded by boat to
Portland, thence by stagecoach
to eastern Oregon, where they
settled in the Blue Mountain
country southeast of Pendleton.
After her husband's death in
1909, Grandma Downs lived with
her children's families near Med
ford, Portland and Mllton-Free
water. It was at the home of a
daughter, Mrs. Ida Stewart, near
Milton, that Grandma Downs en
Joyed her last years. A great-great-grandmother
since 1942,
Grandma Downs was able until
the last to read her beloved Bible
with the aid only of a reading
glass. Now the busy hands that
"pieced" many a patchwork quilt
are stilled. Grandma Downs Is
dead.
