Service notice
Frances Lorna Wallace
March 25, 1915 - December 12, 2009
A memorial service will be
held 2:00 p.m., Saturday,
January 23, 2010 at the First
Community Church in Port
Orford for Port Orford resident,
Frances Lorna Wallace.
Frances was born March 25,
1915 in Ostrander, WA, the
fifth of eight children born to
Andrew & Minnie Heman. She
died December 12, 2009 in
Coos Bay at the age of 94.
She grew up on the family
farm in Columbia County,
Oregon. At age 8, she was
cooking and baking for the
family while her parents and
older siblings were milking
cows and working on the farm.
She left home at 16 to cook and
clean house for a minister and
his family in Rainier, OR while
she attended school.
After marrying Orlow Gore,
she started her family while liv-
ing at various logging camps
and mill towns throughout
Oregon.
Following her move to Port
Orford, she was the area’s only
Avon representative for years, a
familiar sight on delivery day
as she walked from one end of
town to the other. Quite often
people would comment on her
young son funning along
behind, trying to keep up. With
the help of her daughter, she
would also take 3 or 4 days a
month to deliver to all the hous-
es as far north as the airport.
During this time she married
Robert A. (Gus) Wallace. One
of their greatest pleasures was
entertaining and feeding as
large a group of family as they
could gather for the holidays.
If she cooked for ten or twelve,
she would say “only a few
came to dinner”. Frances was
active in the VFW Auxiliary for
several years, holding various
offices.
In her later years she was an
active member of the First
Community Church. Her love
of cooking and baking never
changed, as she always had
time to bake cookies for
Sunday school, dishes for
church potlucks and give out
her delicious rolls to friends
and neighbors for their holiday
dinners.
She is survived by sister,
Florence Eichler of Portland;
brother Donald & Mary Heman
of Dallas, OR; daughters, Lois
Crum of Port Orford, Nancy &
David W. Pratt
November 6, 1946 -
December 15, 2009
A final memorial will be
held on Sat. Jan. 16, 2010 at
3:00pm at the Port Orford
Cemetery on Cemetery Loop
Road, Port Orford, OR.
Duane Peterson of Yuma, AZ;
sons, Harold (Sonny) & Debbie
Gore of Killeen, TX, Clyde &
Rhonda Gore of Port Orford; 14
grandchildren, 12 great-grand-
children and eight great-great-
grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by
her husband, Robert (Gus)
Wallace, grandson, Robert
Hughes, sisters, Alice Trotter
and Irene Divine; brothers,
Chester, Orel and Daniel
Heman.

Traffic stop leads
to 4-lb. pot bust
A Cave Junction-area man
was arrested Friday morning
during an Oregon State Police

Scoutmaster’s corner
By Scott Halse
For the Port Orford News
We started out the meeting
out with a game of Buzz, Bang,
and Boom. The scouts sounded
off by counting numbers 1
through 7. This game requires
‘Donation fund for Kyle
Lawrence’ is at
Sterling Savings Bank
Kyle is a 17-year-old Senior at
Bandon High School who plays soc-
cer with the Pacific High School
team. He was hit by a van on
Highway 101 at Pacific High School
on Friday morning, August 28th. Any
donations to help cover the costs of
his medical bills are very much
appreciated
each scout to replace the num-
ber 7 with the word Buzz and
then the number 5 with the word
Bang. After this is accomplished
in a rotation of scouts sounding
off, the number 3 is replaced
with the word Bang. This game
focuses on memorization skills
to achieve the goal of being the
last scout in the circle without
making mistakes.
Next we recited the Pledge of
Allegiance. The theme for this
meeting was to focus on indi-
vidual advancement goals
towards the scouts’ next rank.
Three of the scouts were given a
work book with the written
Kyle Lawrence
requirements to receive their
Scout Badge. The other two
scouts received their work
books for the requirement of
Second Class and First Class
Scout. They each received a
16x24 poster board to take
home to chart their progress so
they can start completing the
tasks to receive their next rank.
We decided to work on the
Hiking Merit Badge as a goal to
achieve over the next few
months. We will take another
hike towards the end of the
month.
