Delbert Kurtz
1925-2018
Delbert Chester Kurtz was
born in Keizer, Ore., near
where Bi-Mart now stands,
on November 1, 1925 to
Frederick Godfrey Kurtz and
Mary Barker Kurtz. During
his adventur-
ous youth, he
spent
time
with his fa-
ther in the
forests of the
Siletz, Rock
Creek
and
Rogue River
where they
lived in cabins and gathered
cascara bark to sell and mined
for gold. He attended school
in Salem until serving in the
U.S. Navy from 1943-46, in-
cluding the South Pacifi c War
Theatre. He married Betty
Reeve on June 20, 1947, re-
cently celebrating their 71rst
wedding anniversary at home.
Returning to Keizer in 1962,
He worked at Oregon Pulp
and Paper Mill and as an iron-
worker for Mercer Steel Co.

support the Big Brothers and
Big Sisters Foundation. The
store will provide the service,
but Big Brothers and Big
Sisters will be the receiving
agency of the donation and
The Thrift Store will purchase
the items from the founda-
tion.
Kenney, a longtime Salem
resident who owned and op-
erated a delivery service for
15 years before joining The
Thrift Store, said Keizer and
the former Goodwill location
were a natural fi t for the new
venture.
“We followed them into
a spot that was doing well to
begin with. Keizer has a nice
demo and it’s a good place to
start,” he said.

came from England to Or-
egon in 1845 and took out a
donation land claim in what
today is West Salem in Polk
County. The extended family
of Mordecai and Celia Lane
came in an 1853 wagon train
from Missouri and settled in
Marion County near Sublim-
ity. Francis Anne
Lane and Rob-
ert Godfrey were
married October
11, 1855 in Salem.
The
Frederick-
Kurtz family were
early settlers in the
Keizer area. Deb’s
D. Kurtz
grandfather, Fred-
erick H. Godfrey,
was adopted into the Kurtz
family as a boy in 1916 at the
age of 11.
Deb enjoyed playing and
watching his children play
sports. Baseball, golfi ng, and
hunting were his favorites. He
spent many hours traveling,
camping, and hunting with his
family - often teaching them
the fi ner points of each. Deb
was an avid golfer and hunter
until very recently.
Deb is survived by his wife,
Betty J. Kurtz and children
John Richard Kurtz, Mar-

Mooney responded that she
understood the concern, but
that providing the meal was an
important part of the organiza-
tional goals of bringing as many
people as possible to the table.
“I believe that providing
a meal and coming around a
table over a meal adds to the
collaboration happening. It's
one less hurdle,” Mooney said.
She added that she is working
on getting the meals donated,
but the program is still in its re-
looking
back in
the KT
building stages.
Councilor Bruce Ander-
son echoed some of Freeman's
concerns.
“I would like more informa-
tion about the programs you
are supporting. I would like to
see you taking the dollars and
directing them toward the pro-
grams you are seeking to sup-
port. I'd like some more meat
on the bones,” Anderson said.
The approval for the $1,000
disbursement came with the
caveat that the money not be
used for meals and a request
for regular reports back to the
council on progress.
Mooney had lined up
matching funds from the Salem
Leadership Foundation and she
was not certain how the limited
disbursement would impact
those plans.
The haggling over $2,000
came three weeks after the
council forgave more than
$13,000 owed by Keizer Little
League to the facility it man-
ages in a Keizer park.
