Inez Marie Small
Baker City, 1924-2017
Inez Marie Small, 92, of
Baker City died Monday,
January 16th, 2017 at
Meadowbrook Place.
A celebration of her life
was held Wednesday the
25th at Gray’s West &
Company Pioneer Chapel.
Inez was born on January
19, 1924 in Indianapolis,
Marion County, Indiana
to Ralph Anderson and
Virginia Pearl (Waddle)
Anderson. She was the
oldest of three siblings,
two half-brothers and one
half-sister. Inez attended
George Washington High
School in Indianapolis.
However, being the
product of the Great
Depression and later a
broken home she had to
leave school (after the 10th
grade) in order to care for
her, while her mother went
to work to pay for life’s
necessities.
On October 11, 1941
Inez married Carroll Otis
Small, who was born on
May 30, 1922 in Norwood,
MA to Carroll Eugene
Small and Ruth Wilder
(Capen) Small. During the
War years, Inez worked at
the Link Belt, with other
family members, making
parts for war machines.
During this time her hus-
band travelled to Oregon
with the Civilian Conser-
vation Corps for a while,
later returning to work for
the railroad in Indianapo-
lis.
On Thanksgiving of
1945, Inez gave birth to
Carroll Gene Small and on
February 2nd, 1947 the
couple had another son,
Michael Duane Small.
With two sons in dia-
pers, the youngest only 3
months old, this woman
took the fi rst journey of
her life, on a Greyhound
Bus, from Indianapolis to
Baker, Oregon.
On November 20th of
1949, Inez gave birth to
another son, Richard Allen
Small and her only daugh-
ter Virginia (Ginny) Lee
Small was born on Decem-
ber 19 of 1953.
Having lived during
the Great Depression and
WWII, Inez and Carroll
understood the hunger and
hardships of bad times.
Once they were settled in
Baker, they began growing
food in a family garden as
well and fi shing, hunting
and following the potato
pickers for their winter
stores. They built a small
home at 1455 Auburn
Street in Baker with a
living room, two bed-
rooms and a kitchen. The
bathroom was an outhouse
and bathes were taken by
heating water on the cook
stove and bathing in a
wash tub in the kitchen.
The lean times she and
her family had endured
taught Inez well. Each year
Inez was very busy during
harvest season. She canned
fruits and vegetables and
made jams, jellies and pies
for the freezer. She also cut
and wrapped wild game
and fi sh preparing enough
food to last throughout the
entire year. She always
strived to ensure that her
family never went hungry.
Taking care of her family
was her full time job and
she was good at it!
Inez was a great cook and
baker. She baked the best
breads, jelly rolls, cakes
and pies and at Christmas
time it was always home-
made fudge and fruitcakes
that were far better than
anything you could fi nd in
a store.
With their family com-
plete, they began taking
their vacations East every
year to Indianapolis. Al-
though Inez had a good life
in Baker, she was a city
girl at heart. She always
missed her family and
friends from the big city.
Through the trials and
tribulations of having two
sons and two brothers
going off to War, coupled
with the loss of her eldest
son Carroll Gene in
1995 just after his 50th
birthday and her youngest
child and only daughter
Ginny in the fall of 2000
at the age of 46. Inez never
failed to maintain her posi-
tion of responsibility as a
wife and mother.
Soon after the loss of
their daughter Carroll de-
veloped Alzheimer’s which
progressed to the point of
having to be placed in a
nursing home.
This left Inez basically
alone as Richard lived
and worked in Florida and
Michael was on disability
and retired in Spokane,
Washington, both too far
for regular visits.
Over time all of her fam-
ily departed, leaving her
the last of her siblings.
She passed away just
two days shy of her 93rd
birthday.
