Seven Daughters, Son to Help
Mrs. Whitney Celebrate 100th
Birthday February 9 in Salem
(Story also on page 1.) U ::
Seven daughters and a son eight of her 12 children arid expect
ed to be in Salem February 9 to help celebrate the 100th birthday of
Mrs. Sarah M. Whitney.
Of the Whitneys 12 children, nine daughters and one son are
living. The children are Mrs. W. J. Hagedorn, Salem; Mrs. Nellie Bunn
and Mrs. Fred Lupton, Portland; Mrs. A. H. Stivers, Alia, Iowa; Mrs.
James Ennis, Hartley, Iowa; Mrs.
Charles Becker, Portland: Mrs.
Lake Price, Cook. Wash.; Mrs.
Thomas Magers, Portland: Mrs.
Stacey Reeves,, Cook, Wash.;
Pleasant Whitney, Brownsville,
Ore.
All are coming except those In
Iowa. One daughter, Mrs. William
Bunn, died in 1926, and a son,
Orrin Whitney, in 1943.
There are also 25 grandchildren,
44 great-grandchildren and seven-great-great-grandchildren.
Mrs. Whitney was born in Tus
carawas county, Ohio, near New
port, the daughter of George B,
and Mary Ann Goodman Warner.
The oldest of a family of 10, she is
today the only living member of
the family.
- She lived in Ohio during the
Civil war, in log houses heated
only by stone fireplaces. As the
oldest she helped both her father
on the farm and her mother in the
home cradling grain, shearing
sheep, spinning yarn and knitting
it into stockings, spinning fine
twool thread for "linsey" cloth to
make the women's nicer dresses.
Since sewing machines were just
invented and not yet in general
use, she taught herself to cut and
sew by hand the clothing for her
self and her brothers and sisters.
She recalls that' the home was
the center of the "social" life, and
free evenings were spent in knit
ting or sewing1 by the light of tal
low candles. Young Sarah Warner
went to school in a log building
with hand hewn backless benches.
In 1856, her father purchased
165 acres of land in Iowa but con
tinued to reside in Ohio for 12
years-before venturing so far west
on the prairie. In 1868, the family
moved to Winthrop county, Iowa,
where the oldest daughter met
and married Charles E. Whitney
on Oct 25, 1868. Whitney was with
a prominent Iowa stock company,
but in 1876 the couple moved to
aft O'Brien county, ,Iowa, farm.
Their first year brought a scourge
of grasshoppers which totally des
troyed crops, followed; by a chol
era epidemic that kiUed the hogs.
A farm in Cherokee county,
Iowa, proved more prosperous,
and there they remained until
moving In 1901 to the Big Bend
country near Wilson Creek, Wash.
In 1906 the Whitneys came to
Salem. For many years they own
ed a farm bear Turner, and later
he engaged in the real estate bus
iness here.
Together they celebrated their
golden wedding anniversary in
1918, and had been marVied near
ly 61 years when Mr. Whitney
died in August 1929.
Now, nearing the time-honored
milestone in age, Mrs. Whitney
looks brightly back over , a , cen
tury of change, and forward to
residing again in Salem, which she
calls home, with her daughter.
School Districts
Law Clarified by
Neuner's Ruling
Oregon law does not require
that a city school district be es
tablished when the school popula
tion of a city within a county
school district reaches 1,000, At
torney General George Neuner
held Wednesday. The opinion was
asked by Rex Putnam, state sup
erintendent Of public instruction.
Neuner ruled, however, that an
election . is necessary on a pro
posal to establish a city school
district with a majority vote in
both the city and .county' units
required. In event of failure to
receive' a majority vote in both
units the city school district re
mains a part of the county school

Bus Service
Tha Stcrtotmaa, Salem, Oregon, Thursday, February 2. 1350 5
Aired at Meet
Dissatisfaction, with City Transit
Lines bus service in the suburban
area east of Salem was expressed
Wednesday at a public hearing.
. Only three persons represent
ing the public attended the hear
ing called by M. B. Rudd, chair
man of Mayor R. L. Elfstrom's bus
transportation committee. Trom
the number, of complaints recei
ved concerning bus service,' said
Rudd, "I thought many more than
this would attend."
J. H. Gordon, representing a cit
izens committee in the area east
of Salem, estimated that over 800
potential bus riders lived1 in that
area.. He said, "our main concern
is to get at least five trips a day
out there. Now we have four and
some days less."
"We have no complaint against
bus drivers nor are we attempting
to jude the bus company's poli
cies. A survey of residents there
show they are dissatisfied with
existing schedules and timing of
runs."
Gordon indicated he was speak
ing in terms of a six-day sched
ule. "We can work out a Sunday
schedule later." The area he rep
resented, he said, was bounded
roughly by the east Salem city
limits. Four Corners, Silverton
road and Turner road east of Lan
caster drive.
D. A. I. Frantz, only other rep
resentative to speak, protested a
recent change in bus schedules
which by-passed the area around
the intersection oX Broadway with
North High and North Liberty
streets. .
Frantz, who has a naturopath
Office at 990 Broadway, said that
buses pass no closer than two
blocks from that . area, which he
stated contains a good sized, bus
iness district and large apartment
house. ,
Robert E. Covert, operator of
the West Salem Bus company, at
tended only "to listen" he? said.
Others present consisted of mem
bers of the committee,
Chairman Rudd told Gordon
and Frantz that a. committee
member would visit both their
districts', soon. He said that his
committee expected to hold sev
eral more meetings and to report
to Mayor Elfstrom in about a
month. . ; j
