OBITUARIES
Keith Elliot Barton
James Berton ‘Jim’ Piper
Caldwell, Idaho
November 3, 1944 - November 8, 2017
Irrigon
March 9, 1940 - November 29, 2017
Keith Elliot Barton,
former resident of Umatilla,
Oregon,
slipped
away
from us on Wednesday,
November 8, 2017,
at a Boise, Idaho
hospital. Keith was
born November 3,
1944, in Enterprise,
Oregon, to Ruth
and Greg Barton.
Keith’s
early
years were spent
in Joseph, Oregon,
where he attended
school, and loved
the
wonderful
outdoor
setting
provided for fishing
and hunting. At the
age of 17 he joined
the Army and Barton
served in Germany.
The
family
eventually
moved
to
Umatilla, Oregon. After
Keith’s honorable discharge
from the Army he lived
and worked in the Umatilla
area and also attended Blue
Mountain
Community
College.
Keith married Gerry
Migles and from the marriage
a beautiful daughter, Toni,
was born.
Keith was a handyman
who had a variety of jobs
including
construction,
maintaining bowling alleys,
and working for the city of
Umatilla. The last
several years Keith
resided in Caldwell
and Boise, Idaho, to
be close to family.
His parents, Ruth
and Greg, preceded
Keith in death. He
leaves a daughter
Toni, sisters Marilee
Moors,
Wendy
Tunison (Mike) and
Gwen Nussbacher
(Walt), and brothers
Scott (Janis), Tim
(Glenda),
and
Randy Barton.
Keith will be
cremated with a
private burial at
the veterans cemetery in
Boise, Idaho. A public cele-
bration of Keith’s life will be
announced later in the spring.
The family is grateful
for the many friends and
employees Keith met and
laughed with at Apex
Assisted Living Center. The
family also wants to thank
St. Alphonsus for the profes-
sional care he received from
the doctors and staff.

East Oregonian
David Dorfmeier, a
Vietnam veteran and a clin-
ical therapist with a special
focus on treating post-trau-
matic stress disorder, shares
about his father’s experi-
ences in World War II.
Dorfmeier, who wrote
“C-Lager: Stalag Luft IV and
the 86-Day Hunger March,”
recounts the service history
of Sgt. Donald D. Dorfmeier

The story also chronicles
the heroism of airmen who
exhibited the courage to
survive. The difficult march
resulted in hardships and
suffering that would “haunt
them for many years to

An author presentation,

is Saturday, Dec. 9 at 11
a.m. at the Pendleton Public
Library, 502 S.W. Dorion
