DATED this 15 day of July, 1999. Isl Katharine English, Chief Tribal Judge (CDlli)4aiQ3lle (CDnsilllleimge Arthelia Mae Clark has battled health issues but loves her life and family. Arthelia's parents were David Holmes and Vida Mitilda (Smith) Holmes. She came . from a family of five brothers and 3 sis ters her living sisters are Vivian Martin and Priscilla Hofenbredl; and two brothers are Jessy "Benny" Bahr and Loren F. Holmes. Arthelia was married 23 years to Elton Clark before losing him in 1978. She has two sons, David Clark and John Clark; one daughter, Arlettia (Clark) Krehbiel; eleven grandchildren and one great-grandchild. Arthelia was born a half mile from where she currently lives today. She lives in the house her dad and husband built in 1955. Thanks to the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Tribe's Hous ing Program, Arthelia has been able to remain in her house. Without their help, the house would have fallen long ago. Arthelia's hobbies include listening and sign ing to country western music, going on picnics, cooking and visiting relatives. Other interests include making crafts at the monthly "Blind and Handicapped Workshop. ' Earlier in life, Arthelia was a wealth of knowledge about her family she could tell you all her aunts, uncles, cousins and their birthdays. She liked to watch her dad shoe horses, build houses, and listen to him play the fiddle. She loved to watch her mom sew quilts and clothes, crochet, grow flowers and a vegetable garden. She walked wherever she went as a young girl, and f Arthelia Clark (age 45) at a 1972 workshop for the blind in McMinnville. also liked to go swimming in the creek just be hind her house. With her failing eyesight, she struggled through school. After graduating from 8th grade, she stayed home and helped out with the chores. After she married, raising her family was her priority. She kept a clean house and raised her three children. Because her eyesight continued to fail, her dad and aunts Kate and Hattie tried to do a "Indian healing dance and chant" to stop her' increasing blindness. Several cataract surgeries never helped either. After severe chronic migraine headaches, local doctors sent her to O.H.S.U. in Portland. She was found to have "sinus cancer." Doctors tried to stop the cancer with kemotherapy for a total of 78 treatments. The kemo helped but wasn't enough, and surgery was needed. The cancer was stopped, but changed her life immensely. "Mom is such a sweet, honest, gentle loving, caring, giving, kind and God-respecting woman; after so much suffering on earth, I know there's a red carpet rolled out for her when she gets into heaven," said her son, John Clark. A piece of advice Arthelia would give youth: "Do the best you can and be good to one another.
