up and attended
school in The
Dalles. He joined
the Marine Corps in

served for four
years, including 13
months in Vietnam.
Ken married the

Michael “Mr. Mike”
McDaid, 90, of Pendleton
passed away on October 20,
2017, at St. Anthony Hospital
in the loving company of
his family. He was born
April 1, 1927, in Donegal,
Ireland, to Henry and Maria
(McLaughlin) McDaid.
Mike grew up
with 11 siblings in
a traditional Irish
Catholic
family.
He developed a
strong work ethic in
his childhood that
carried on to his
adult life as he could
always be found
working to support
his family.
In
1950 McDaid
he decided to
chase work in
Manchester, England, where
he did masonry work. While
there he met the love of his
life, Josephine Corcoran. In
an effort to seek more oppor-
tunity, Mike immigrated to
the United States. He landed
in Pilot Rock in 1958 to
work as a sheep herder on the
Doherty Ranch. He missed
Josie who was still in England
and mailed her a ring and
proposal. She accepted and
on February 27, 1960, he and
Josie were wed at St. Mary’s
Catholic Church in Pendleton.
Mr. Mike was known by
many in the community; either
from his custodial job with the
Pendleton School District,
through St. Mary’s Catholic
Church or in more recent
years his “exercise” walking
the aisles of Wal-Mart. He was
an incredibly social person
that loved to dance; he did not
stay strangers with anyone for
long. Perhaps having been
born on April Fool’s Day is
what made him a jokester; you
could always count on him for
a joke or good story.
His faith was very
important to him
and was a long-
time member of St.
Mary’s
Catholic
Church along with
being a member
of the Knights of
Columbus.
He is survived
by his loving wife,
Josie McDaid of
Pendleton; children
Mary
McDaid
of Portland, Jon
(Heather) McDaid
of Portland, Ed (Nisa)
McDaid of Amboy, Wash.,
and Jodi (Mike) Gaffney of
Seattle, Wash.; and seven
grandchildren.
Rosary will be held at
Burns Mortuary of Pendleton
at 7 p.m. on Friday, October
27, 2017. Mike was an active
member of the community
and would love for those who
knew him to celebrate his life
through a Mass of Christian
Burial at St. Mary’s Catholic
Church at 9:30 a.m. on
Saturday, October 28, 2017.
Burial at Olney Cemetery
at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday,
October 28, 2017. Luncheon
will follow in the parish hall.
All are welcome.
Burns Mortuary of Pend-
leton is in charge of arrange-
ments.

Heppner Library.
“The Oregon Trail: A New Amer-
ican Journey” recounts the author’s
experience recreating a covered wagon
crossing of the 2,000-mile Oregon Trail.
In 2011, Buck made the journey from
Missouri to Oregon with his brother,
Nick, three mules and their dog.
In the book, Buck provides an
account of their journey — which made
them the first wagon travelers in more
than a century to complete a crossing
of the trail — and shares the fascinating
history of American emigrants who
traveled across the country in the 1840s,
and the people they met along the way.
The book was released in paperback on
June 7, 2016.
Buck began his career in journalism
at the Berkshire Eagle and was a
longtime staff writer for the Hartford
Courant. He has written for Vanity Fair,
New York, Life and many other publica-
tions. In addition, his work has won the
PEN New England Award, the Eugene
S. Pulliam National Journalism Writing
Award and the Society of Professional
Journalists Sigma Delta Chi Award.
In addition to the Oregon Trail book,
Buck has authored “Flight of Passage”
and “First Job.” He resides in northwest
Connecticut.
