Page 6A East Oregonian OBITUARIES Barbara Jean Haines Spokane, Wash. January 28, 1935 - January 9, 2018 Barbara Jean Haines, 82, of Spokane, Wash., passed away in Spokane on Tuesday, January 9, 2018, surrounded by family and friends. She was born on January 28, 1935, in Nampa, Idaho. She was a long time resident of Pendleton and Hermiston, Oregon, before spending time in Portland, Oregon, and Spokane, Wash- ington, to be near her children. Barbara was raised by her parents, George and Callie (Perkins) Benson, in Marsing, Haines Idaho, where she attended high school. She and Jerry lived in Jordan Valley, Oregon, before moving to Pendleton and Hermiston, Oregon, where they spent the majority of their adult lives raising their two children. Barbara was a devout member of Our Lady of Angel’s and St. Mary’s Catholic churches. Barbara was preceded in death by her husband, Jerry Franklin Haines, on April 3, 1991, in Portland, Oregon, at age 58. Jerry and Barbara were married on December 22, 1951, in Kamiah, Idaho. Jerry was the love of Barba- ra’s life, and their marriage was commonly described as a “storybook relation- ship.” Frequently, people expressed a desire to have a lasting and loving marriage like Barbara and Jerry. Barbara was a dedicated and skilled administrative assistant who worked long periods at Blue Mountain Community College in Pendleton, and finished her career at the Hermiston School District before retiring. She was a loving wife, mother and grand- mother. Her humor, loyalty, unconditional love, and zest for life and family was enjoyed by all who worked with her or spent time with her. The best times of her life were spent surrounded by family and friends, and the Haines home was frequently the place where everyone gath- ered for food and laughter. Barbara is survived by her daughter, Michele “Micki” Stanhope of Spokane, and her son, Michael Haines of Portland and Kahana, Maui; three granddaughters: Lindsay and Courtney of Spokane and Eryn of Camas, Wash.; and five great-grandchildren: Cade, Kellen and Sosie Jane Washington of Camas, and Katelyn Ebersole and Joel Paul in Spokane.

Saturday, January 13, 2018 RECORDS ‘Mississippi Burning’ KKK leader dies in prison at 92 JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Edgar Ray Killen, a 1960s Ku Klux Klan leader who was convicted decades later in the “Mississippi Burning” slayings of three civil rights workers, has died in prison at the age of 92, the state’s corrections department announced Friday. Killen was serving three consecutive 20-year terms for manslaughter when he died at 9 p.m. Thursday inside the Mississippi State Penitentiary at Parchman. An autopsy was pending, but no foul play was suspected, the statement said. His conviction came 41 years to the day after James Chaney, Michael Schwerner and Andrew Goodman, all in their 20s, were ambushed and killed by Klansmen. The three Freedom Summer workers had been investigating the burning of a black church near Philadelphia, Mississippi. A deputy sheriff in Philadel- AP Photo/Rogelio V. Solis, File In this Jan. 2005 file photo, Edgar Ray Killen sits in court in Philadelphia, Miss. Killen, a former Ku Klux Klan leader who was convicted in the 1964 “Mississip- pi Burning” slayings of three civil rights workers, died in prison at the age of 92. phia had arrested them on a traffic charge, then released them after alerting a mob. Mississippi’s then-governor claimed their disappearance was a hoax, and segrega- tionist Sen. Jim Eastland told President Lyndon Johnson it was a “publicity stunt” before their bodies were dug up. The slayings shocked the nation, helped spur passage of the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964 and were dramatized in the 1988 movie “Mississippi Burning.” The movie title came from the name of the FBI investigation. Killen, a part-time preacher and lumber mill operator, was 80 when a Neshoba County jury of nine white people and three black people convicted him of three counts of manslaughter on June 21, 2005, despite his assertions that he was inno- cent. Prosecutors said Killen masterminded the slayings, then went elsewhere so he would have an alibi. Killen was the only person ever to face state murder charges, and even then, it was the lesser charge of manslaughter that put him in state prison. “It wasn’t even murder. It was manslaughter,” David Goodman, Andrew’s younger brother, observed Friday. COMING EVENTS E. Main St., Athena. Open to all knitters, crocheters and lovers of needle work.
