By OLIVE M. DOAK
Many, many yeas ago, in 1846
to be exact, two men left St. Jo
seph, Missouri, with the beads of
their' two oxen and one saddle
pony, pointed toward the west
where rolled the. great Oregon.
These two adventurers were Joe
Waldo for whose family the "Val-
do hills were named, and Fabri
tns Smith whose life in and about
Salem has left a -decided stamp,
and who was the father of Mrs.
Velleda Ohmart, a delightfully
"young-old" lady who lives in the
great square white house to the
left of the Pacific highway south
of alem almost opposite from
the Richfield beacon. The house
is set on a hill and overlooks the
land that once was a donation
land claim purchased by Mr.
Smith from the original owner.
-1 Here Mrs. Ohmart has spent
most of the years since 1855, the
year of her birth, and lias watch
ed the donation claim become a
portion of a tity with at .present
more than 100 families living on
it. It is bounded on the west
by 12th street, the north by Mc
Gilchrin street, fcto the south
Pringle Creek, and with-the. ex
tension .of South Cpmmercial
street, which becomes the Pacific
highway outside the city limits,
cutting through the west edge.
Once upon a time there was a
real foYest strip which extended
between the hill upon which the
square house now stands, and the
few scattered buildings that was
Salem when Mrs. Ohmart was a
small girl.
Mrs. Ohmart graduated from
Willamette university in 1873.
Just at this time of year when
the schools are getting into full
swing under the present modern
conveniences" it is interestinK
to chat with Mrs. Ohmart and
learn from her quick spoken sen
tences which are sparkling with
keen reminiscences of those early
days when Willamette was the
"institute' and all erades from
the primary throusrh the unh-er-
alst In the celebration. Mr. Ob
mart died In 1921 and bow Mrs.
Ohmart Is carrying on In the most
businesslike and sturdy manner,
keeping excellent track of all that
Ees on. about the "farm," and al
so entertaining and going out
with as much alacrity and ease as
many a much younger person.
In fact Mrs. Ohmart seems to
have seen Salem grow and kept
youthful with its growth. The
years bare passed but they, bave
built strength instead of ereadrg
weakness, and have developed
store of fascinating memories,
and have sharpened an iEterei-l
outlook on the world.

Of the class from which Mrs.
Ohmart graduated there are only
three living. Mrs. Charles Moore,
LaDrue Royal, and Mrs. Ohmart.
Fourteen graduated on that grad
uation day way back in 1873 and
they each read an original essay.
Mrs. Ohmart wrote on the subject
of "Historic Nights," .and she can
very easily tell you the gist of
what she wrote about, even as
Lshe talks about each member of
the class and tells little jokes and
friendly things 6f interest about
them.
Mrs. Ohmart graduated from
Willamette when she was 18
years old. When she was 20 years
old her mother died and for two
years it was Mrs. Ohmart who
kept the home for her father.
Then came Mr. Ohmart and ro
mance developed a wedding. That
was when Mrs. Ohmart was 22
years old. For a short time she
and Mr. Ohmart made their home
on what is now the Clifford
Brown home on Mission street,
then they moved back to the old
Smith home and for all butaa
few months Mrs. Ohmart has
spent her life there.
"I've been a farmer's wife and
lived n a farm all my life," laugh
ed Mrs. Ohmart. And what a
successfully happy life 6he has
made of it!
In 1927 Mr. and Mrs. Ohmart
celebrated their golden wedding
anniversary. Their four chil
dren, Roy, Reynolds, Chauncy and
Lois Ohmart were all there to as-
