Man gets caught in gear, seriously injured
OUT OF THE PAST
Compiled by Cheryl Jenkins
100 YEARS AGO
March 10, 1921
At the East Oregon saw-
mill, W. R. Nicholson was
caught in an exposed gearing
and seriously injured. His
left arm was broken, his left
ear was nearly torn off, and
his body bruised in many
places. Dr. C. T. Hockett
expressed the hope that the
torn ear would grow back in
place.
William B. Ault has been
elected captain of the basket-
ball team at the United States
naval academy at Annapolis,
MD.
A new captain has taken
the helm of the ship of state
and the transfer has been
made without a jolt or jar, so
smoothly does the grand old
craft ride the seas. President
Harding now holds the most
exalted offi ce in the gift of
man, as executive of a nation
of more than a hundred mil-
lion who have chosen him
by their own free will at the
polls.

objection to the renewal of
the licenses seems to have
been the gambling by means
of cards at the halls.

Pat Lynn
April 3, 1947 to February 21, 2021
Pat Lynn was born in Texarkana, Texas on April 3rd, 1947 to Benjamin
James Lynn and Beatrice Merle Lynn (Ward).
Pat attended Compton High School in California until he enlisted in the
United States Air Force at the age of 17. Pat attended boot camp in Chicago
and was then stationed at March Air Force Base in California.
Pat was involved in a tragic car accident in 1966 when he was only 19
years of age in Riverside, California, where Pat suffered serious burns on over
50% of his body. Over the next several years Pat was hospitalized in Fort Sam
Houston, Texas, Lackland, Texas and then to California.
Pat then moved to Paramount, California where he then married an old
classmate of his from Compton, Peggy Shingleton. Peggy later gave birth to
their daughter Tracy Lynn on October 7, 1968. Pat and Peggy divorced a few
years later but remained close friends and coparents until her death in 2014.
Pat then met Lori Nickell and the two were married in 1979 and lived in
Sacramento California with their daughters, Tracy and Mandy, and sons Sean,
Michael and Patrick until the family relocated to Wallowa County in 1985. Pat
and Lori were married for 16 years.
Pat enjoyed golfing, storytelling, 50’s music, watching his grandchildren
play sports, perform in plays and music programs. He loved his family dearly
and loved attending birthday parties, holiday parties and family bbq’s.
Pat volunteered for Meals on Wheels and coached boys little league for
several years. Pat was known to people as the “sweetest man in the world”. He
was kind and offered his wisdom to anyone who asked for it. He will be missed
by all who love him, but he has left behind precious memories, funny antics
and a knowledge that if he liked you, he loved you!
Pat is proceeded in death by his mother Beatrice Merle Ward, his
father Benjamin James Lynn, stepfather Lino Montoya, his daughter Tracy
Lynn, his brother Denver Arnold, and his sisters, Carolynn Trujillo and Joanne
Gallegly( Momma Gussie).
