New Minam grade opens

Smoking remains is all
that is left of a huge barn

Lostine. There was between
250 and 300 tons of hay
of hay in the barn when it
burned. A six-year old boy
apparently had set the fi re.
OUT OF THE PAST
Compiled by Cheryl Jenkins
100 YEARS AGO
Aug. 10, 1922
The old Wallowa hill, so
long a terror to travelers, is
a thing of the past. The new
grade starting from Minam,
winds in gradual ascent along
the river. At no place does the
grade exceed the regulation
seven percent. This marks
the end of the old pioneer
grade up Wallowa hill.
Thirty eight years ago
this week, quite a time for a
newspaper to serve a com-
munity. The Record Chief-
tain has never for one minute
lost faith in Wallowa county
and is still convinced that this
is one of the best countries on
the face of the earth.
When a shipment of cat-
tle from the north end was
driven thru town last week,
the need of a stockway was
again apparent. The farm-
ers did their best to work the
cattle thru without getting on
a lawn or parking, but this
was not possible, as the only
streets open were those with
well improved grounds.

Gloria Bainter passed away July
27, 2022 after fighting cancer in
blindness for over seven years. She
was a trooper.
Gloria was born to Thelma and
Russell Heschele June 19, 1935,
in Burbank, California, and moved
around California throughout the
years.
Everybody remembers her as the
smiling, friendly checker and pharmacist assistant at
Safeway for 35 years. She really enjoyed working with
the public.
We also remember her beautiful music she made
with her violin and viola in the Grande Ronde and
Oregon East Symphony orchestras. She loved playing
for audiences anywhere. She started playing the violin
at the age of 7. Her first public performance was at the
American institute of music at the age of 9, and she
started teaching at the age of 14.
In 1953 she married Richard (Dick) Bainter and in
1969, moved to Enterprise, Oregon, with their daughter,
Sandy, and they knew they’d found their forever home.
She could finally have her horses.
She loved to knit, quilt, crafts of any kind, painting
and drawing, she was a true artist. She loved helping
people and was involved in St. Katherine’s Women’s
Guild and Wallowa Memorial Hospital Auxiliary for
decades.
Gloria is survived by her daughter, Sandy (George)
Fuller; her granddaughter, Shasta (Josh) Anderson;
great-grandson, Dakota; great-granddaughter, Evelyn;
and lots of California cousins.
We’ll all miss her beautiful smile and music, but she
can see, dance, and play her music once again.
The funeral will be held on Saturday, Aug. 20, at
St. Katherine’s Catholic Church. The Rosary is at
10 a.m., with the service at 10:30 a.m. and a luncheon
at the hall afterward.

James H. Nicholson
April 25, 1944 - June 30, 2022
Jim was born in Silverton, OR to James and Evelyn
(Sowa) Nicholson of Scotts Mills, OR, and passed away
in Milton Freewater, where he lived for 32 years. He was
78 years old.
Jim was a successful Registered Hereford Cattle
Herdsman starting at Silverton High School in FFA and
moving on to be the man who made a Wolfe Hereford
Ranch bull into the National Champion Polled Hereford
Bull in 1965.
Jim went on to serve in the US Army in Vietnam
from 1966 to 1968. He then went back into the cattle
business for some years. Then, in 1989, he began work-
ing for Nelson Irrigation in Walla Walla. It was there that
he met Carol Pemberton, who was to become the love
of his life.
The thing that Jim did was always to ask questions of
anyone who he might learn from, both as a young man in
the purebred cattle industry and the irrigation business.
He is survived by Carol Pemberton; his brother,
Lynden (Nick) Nicholson; sister-in-law, Joan; nieces,
Angela Hager and Erin Jimcosky; and nephew, Matthew
Nicholson; along with grandnieces, Genevieve Nichol-
son and Evelyn Jimcosky; and grandnephew, Waylon
James Nicholson.
A private get-together was held in remembrance of
Jim in Walla Walla.
For those who may wish to contribute as a remem-
brance for Jim, please donate to the American Cancer
Society or the Dementia Society of America through the
Herring Groseclose Funeral Home, 315 W. Alder St.,
Walla Walla, WA 99362.
