O BITUARIES
Lawrence ‘Larry’ R. Morse
Aug. 22, 1931 — Jan. 11, 2017
W. Ray Jeffords
Aug. 10, 1931 — Jan. 2, 2017
Lawrence “Larry” R. Morse
passed away peacefully on Jan.
11, 2017 at Wallowa Valley Me-
morial Hospital. Larry was born
on Aug. 22, 1931 in Elk Grove,
California, to Ruby and Egbert
Morse. He is preceded in death
by his parents and siblings, Mil-
dred, Bertha (Boots), Irene and
Elvin. He is survived by his wife
of 65 years, Elaine, their two
children Laurel and Daniel and
Daniel’s wife Lisa. As well, he
is survived by his many grandchildren. Amanda with her hus-
band Daniel, Emily, Annie, Katie, Brennon and Conner; and by
his one great-grandson, Jude; along with numerous nieces and
nephews.
Larry was an avid outdoorsman. He lived his life ranching
in his beloved Wallowa County. He was often found out fl ying,
fi shing, boating, camping, hiking, skiing or biking in and around
these Wallowa mountains. Larry enjoyed playing football as
well as trumpet in the band in high school. His love of music was
lifelong. He was often found singing or listening to the classics.
Larry was active in the Community Church as a choir mem-
ber for many years. He was a member of the Cattlemen’s Asso-
ciation, serving as president for two years. Larry was one of the
original board members for the Wallowa Lake Gondola.
He served as his student body president at Galt High School.
Larry was a member of the United States Air Force, where he
was awarded the National Defense Service Medal as well as a
Good Conduct Medal.
He will be missed by his many friends and family. A celebra-
tion of his life is planned for later this spring.
On Jan. 2, 2017, W. Ray Jeffords passed away. He was born
on Aug. 10, 1931 to Wendell and Myrtle (Wickam) Jeffords in
Baker City, Oregon.
He spent his younger years in Baker City and graduated
from Baker City High School. From there he joined the United
States Air Force and spent most of his four years in France.
He married Janet Murray on July 2, 1955, and they eventu-
ally had four children.
He spent most of his life in Wallowa County where he was a
rancher, logger, mill worker, and custodian for the Elgin School
District, from which he retired.
During our high school years, because he had a 4-wheel
drive pickup with a winch, he always seemed to be on-call day
or night to pull friends and family out of some place they should
not have been. Everyone was welcome at the house, so on some
weekends, when family members rose in the mornings, they
had to watch our step since they did not know who would be
asleep on one of couches or on the fl oor.
He loved working with his hands and because of his love
of working with wood, his children, grandchildren, plus many
friends have furniture he built. Many of them said they would
not have much furniture if it were not for his craftsmanship. He
was still building furniture when he passed. Nothing made him
happier or his wife more frustrated than when he was tracking
sawdust through the house.
He and his wife loved to travel, taking back roads so they
could see the countryside. As they grew older, their children
began driving them to different locations; this way they could
check out all of the countryside and just enjoy the ride.
They visited Germany, France, and Austria, many parts of
the United States, and wanted to visit all 59 National Parks. He
did not quite make all 59 parks, but got to see many of them.
He also loved to fi sh, so he and his wife would sometimes
hook up their trailer and go to Billy Meadows or up Bear Creek
to stay for a few days and do some relaxing and fi shing, many
times with his cousin Ralph Warden. He is survived by his wife,
Janet, and all four of his children: Kimberlie (Mark), Tim (Deb-
bie), Tammy (Burke), and Pamela (Doug); fi ve grandchildren:
Katrina (Wylie), Tia (Sam), Cricket (Chance), Lisa (BJ), and
Amanda (Jeremy); fi ve great grandchildren: Kacie, Kristyn,
Blaine, Brodie, and Kalley; nieces and nephews.
He was proceeded in death by both of his parents, two sis-
ters, one brother, a grandson (Joseph), and various aunts, un-
cles, and cousins.
There will be no services at this time, but there will be a me-
morial service in the spring or summer so everyone who wants
to attend can. Instead of fl owers, please donate to the charity of
your choice or the Alzheimer’s Association. Bollman Funeral
Home is in charge of arrangements.

ent of the Week
Stud
This week’s athlete of the week is
Enterprise High School basketball
player Brett Greenshields. During
last Saturday’s 47-46 heart-
stopping loss to the top-ranked
Imbler Panthers, the junior
showed composure far beyond
his years, even after the team was
down 19-5 after the first quarter.
Greenshields was the first to
spear through the Panthers
iron curtain zone defense and
quickly made his presence known
through his rebounding, shooting
skills and will to win. He put
up 12 points by the end of the
game, more than a quarter of the
Outlaws final score.
