AN HONORED PIONEER
Among tho prominent and oldest of
' the Grande Rondo valley pioneers who
attended the annual meeting of tlio
, Union County ; Pioneer . association
. yesterday at Riverside park was a be
- loved resident of La Grande, -Mrs.
Lydla Palmer Orandy, who not long
, since celebrated r her 88th birthday
; anniversary. Tho picture accompany
ing this story of Mrs, O randy's fas
cinating life, was taken on her birth
1 day with tho lovely flowers her
friends sent her and the Immense
.birthday coke. Mrs. Orandy has been
: an invalid for the last few years but
receives her friends at her homo oh
; Washington street where she moved
'When the old homo, where sho had
lived for more than a half century,
fell before tho march of progress and
furnished tho site for the present La
Grande hotel. Her present homo was
'built on tlio: old homestead that was
taken up by her husband In 1806,
Sho has soon tho land that made up
those early wheat fields and potato
patches change to sites of modern
homos and business buildings.
Mrs .Orandy comes from a family
of pioneers. She was born In Ponn
; syivania of Quaker, parents In 1H40
Among other early stories alio re-
mo rubers hearing her fathor nitd
mother tell of riding on tho first 10
miles of railroad built In tho United
States about the yoor 18U8. Whon
Lydla Palmor was 10 years of aye her
parents moved to tho then hew state
of Iowa. They wont to St. Louis -by
train and then to Olenwood, a small
town near Council Bluffs, by boat.
In I860 Joseph Palmer, the elder
brother of tho family, and , B. W.
Orandy, tho future husband of Lydla,
started to Pike's Peak because of the
reported gold ttrlko In that oeytlon.
Thefte reports' were found to bo Jock-
ling in foundation, so the two young
men went on lo California and then
up into Oregon, where. they began
working a mining claim, on Oriinlte
creek. After disposing of ths claim
successfully, they returned to Iowa to
visit the family. When Mr. Palmer
learned that the boys had definitely
answered tho call of the west, he de
cided to come with them.-'
Joseph secured mule teams rrd a
good outfit so that the trip was im-de
in the comparatively short peiio-i of
72 days. They , left Council Bluffs
April- 17, 1864, and arrived , in La
Grande July 3, There were a few
white settlements near Omaha, Neb.,
but with the exception of the soidlortt
at Port Hall and Port Brldgor no
other win to residents or soldiers were
seen until the party readied Boda
; Springs, Wyo. There It was possible
to buy fresh (butter and milk, which
was a much appreciated treat for tho
travelers,
i They experienced no real trouble
with the Indians, but . .passed one
rather worried day and night as the
result of a visit from eight braves,
They had stopped for the nconduy
meal and rest whon these Indians
rode up with much noise and bravado
: and demanded whisky. They wore told
tliat thero was no whisky in any of
tho whoiib but they insisted on rals-
' lng tho wagon cavors to Investigate
and were qulto Insulting when; their
desire for strong drink was not satis
fied. ... :
One of the largest braves becomo
very, much interested in young Lydla
and attempted by signs to enter Into
a bargain with 'her mother to trade
his fine pony for the girl. In re
counting this story Mrs. Orandy
laughed and said it was really not
very surprising because at that time
her hair was so block and sho was
so tanned that sho very much ro-
11 sombled a young Indian maiden.

Mrs, Lvtlla
When tho party began preparations
to leave, tho Indians retired a short
distance and sat dovn In tho H-rnss,
They watched tho wagons Very close
ly and shot an arrow at tho mules
hitched to tho wagoh in which Lydia
and her older brother were riding..
The entire party, was much worried
and expected an attack during tho
night, bub either , the lack of tho
Indian firewater or tho whites' ap-'
pearanco of bravery saved them any
trouble.
Mrs. Orandy 'feels that their go6d
fortune was duo .principally to the:
fact that her brother was experienced.
In the waya of the Indians and that,
they followed his instructions to glvo
ho appearance of fear. Later during
the same year many immigrants wero
massacred.
The Palmer family spent their fnt
night In La Orande In a squatter's
cabin, which tho owner asked them
to use. The noxt day thoy prepared
to attend tho Fourth of July cele
bration which was being hold a tho
old town of La Grande. Tho old
town was located close to tho lulls
above tho present town and consisted
of some 400 people Goncral Stevens,
of Indian war history, gave tho ad
dress for this celebration of 1805. The
Palmers had intended to go on to,
the Willamette valley, but thoy be
came Impressed with v tho Orande
Rondo and soon acquired a form.
At tliat time tho valley was un- ;
settled and was thought to bo worth?,
less oxcept for stock grazing. All of
tho land below: the present Island
City was commonly spoken of as the
Sandridgo, .
In 1806 Lydla Palmor wns married ,
to B. W, Grundy and soon began, Uv--
lng on the homestead taken up by ;
her husband. The homestead consist
ed of 100 acres and reached from, the
location of tho La arando' liotel to
and beyond tho Grando Rondo hos
pital. During those early days all mer
chandise was first brought in by pack
trains of 40 or 60 mules. Later tlve
roads wero somewhat improved so
that freight teams could cross, tho
mountains from Umatilla landing on
tho Columbia, where goods had been
unloaded from boats coming from
Tho Dulles. At first mall was received
nt intervals of three or four weeks,
Residents of La Grando did not hear
oC Lincoln's assassination until ho
had -boon, dead a month. Eastern mail
wag delivered more frequently when
the pony express began bringing It to
Kelton; Idaho, from where it was
brought to Iu Grande by stnge. Mrs.
Grundy remembers that tho first rail
way engine canio Into La Grando
April 10, 1084,
Mr. and Mrs, Orandy reached .their
golden wedding anniversary at their

Sam 3-10.
On Christmas 1 day King George
broadcast a message to his subjects
throughout the far-flung British em
pire. His three-minute talk "fiom
my home and my heart1' was heard
In every dominion and colony of his
realm. North, south, east and west,
men heard his homely, cheery mes
sage. In those three precious min
utes tho king spoke to all: to tho
blind, the sick, the unemployed,' the
infirm. Millions of loyal subjects
listened to that message and thrilled
in response to its concluding "God
bless you." '
This was the first time an earthly
monarch had spoken in this way to
tho scattered millions of his sub
jects'. The event was deeply signifi
cant. Through Moses, the prophets
and the Evangelists tho word was
given to us. In It and by It the
iiord speaks to His people,
Here Is something Immeasuraibly
more 'miraculous than th broadcast
message of an earthly 'king. . It is the
world of life and light for all people,
the voice of God speaking to hu
manity. ' The King of Kings speaks
continuously to His people. His gra
cious promises ore renewed to us day
by day. , ,
Here is a marvel before which the
broadcast message of an earthly mon-1
arch sinks into Insignificance. Could
we but realize the glory and' wonder
of this constant revelation we would
