OUT OF THE PAST
Compiled by Cheryl Jenkins
100 YEARS AGO
July 7, 1921
After watching Reinhold
Schubring’s still turn out
a few pints of moonshine,
Sheriff Rinehart concluded
the evidence was com-
plete and brought him to
town under arrest. He was
imposed a fi ne of $250 and
ten days in the county jail.
About 20 feet of the
rocky point on the road
leading out of Enterprise
to the southeast will be
cut off in the construction
of the new highway. This
will make it possible to see
ahead a short distance while
driving this sharp turn.
In
the
preliminary
schedule of the Oregon
homeseekers’
excursion
which is to leave Omaha
July 20, it is provided that
the train shall spend a day
in Wallowa county. Nobody
knows how many persons
will come on the excur-
sion. The number has been
estimated from 100 to 300.
Elaborate plans must be
made for their entertain-
ment in creditable manner.

Thank you, dad,
You were raised on a strawberry farm in Silverton OR by father Rudy and
mother Margaret.
Thank you for the 58 wonderful years you devoted your heart and soul to
our mom, your wife Jackie. Together through everything, good times and hard,
through all the adventures we shared together.
Thank you for being a wonderful father to Julie, Joell and Jeff. You loved
and taught us to always do our best. In our eyes you are a true hero. Thank you
for being a grandfather to seven grandchildren and seven great grandchildren.
Thank you for your service in the U.S. Army, a true patriot who loved your
country and the constitution.
After college your degree in forestry lead you to the U.S. Forest Service
where you became the first fire crew helitack foreman at memaloose near
hat point. Your bravery is to be commended for fighting many forest fires and
keeping your crews safe. Later on being a fourth generation wood craftsman
you built many homes throughout your 53 years in Wallowa County. Some very
beautiful log homes and even our beloved Vali’s restaurant at Wallowa Lake.
Thank you for the nine years in Alaska building your own boat and com-
mercial crabbing with Jeff in Wrangell. The memories will always be treasured.
Being an avid outdoorsman, we went hunting, fishing, camping and back-
packing. You sailed your boat with mom and Jeff through the inside passage
in Alaska from Wrangell to Seattle.
Thank you for all the fun times hunting agates and old bottles around the
Sumpter area, and exploring old ghost towns. We never lacked for adventure.
Thank you for years of hard work, sacrifices and dedication. We respect
and love you very much. Thank you for your faith in the Lord. Dad, you
have spent a lifetime earning the peace you can now enjoy. Although we are
grieving, those of us left behind are taking solace in knowing that you are
now free from pain and illness. A lifetime of the greatest of memories will re-
place our sadness as time moves on. Your memory, your smile, your laugh, we
will carry in our hearts for the rest of our lives, and stories of you will be passed on.
Until we see you again in Heaven, we love you and thank you for everything
you were, rest in the peace of our Lord.
