Blue Mountain Eagle E AGLE ON VACATION Wednesday, November 4, 2015 O BITUARIES Cleve Elza Hinton July 8, 1929 – Oct. 23, 2015 Jacelyn Loyce ‘Jace’ Black Nov. 24, 1978 – Oct. 25, 2015 COVE – Cleve Elza Hinton, 86, formerly of Dale, died Oct. 23 in Cove. Services will be at 1 p.m. Sat- urday, Nov. 7, at Pendleton Pioneer Chapel, followed by a celebration of life at The Eagles in Pendleton. Mr. Hinton was born July 8, 1929, in Pendleton, to George and Ferne Hinton, he and his brother Bill grew up on the family ranch out of Dale. He rode his horse about three miles to a one-room schoolhouse at Range. For a time, he lived with his grandparents on their dairy out of Ukiah, milking cows before riding on in to school and repeating the milking in the evening. He quit school at a young age, opting for the school of hard knocks in the timber industry. Without letting them know his age, he got hired on with the Pilot Rock Lumber Company, and became one of their top notch equipment op- erators. In 1948, he met and married Dolores Lyon. They spent their first 10 years at the Pilot Rock Lumber camp on the North Fork John Day River before moving to Ukiah. In 1965, they moved to Boardman, where he worked on heavy equip- ment in the construction of the John Day Dam, the relocation of Boardman and Arlington, and building a new freeway. He then worked throughout the northwest and Alaska with the pipeline construction in the 1970s. Upon returning from Alaska, the couple settled at the Hin- ton homestead. He went into the horse logging business for a time, reviving his passion for horses, mules and teams. He helped haul local students’ baggage during their outdoor ed camp outs, wedding processions and Westward Ho Parade. For over 25 years, he was an icon on the Round-Up Wagon Train. After retiring from construction, he rode for a local Cattleman’s Association for many years. He taught the value of living simple, working hard and playing hard. He had no harsh words for others and when he spoke, everyone wanted to hear what he had to say. He had a marvelous way of telling of his many adventures. His life revolved around hunting, fishing, and the great outdoors with his family and many friends. If anyone ever got turned around in the woods, he could bring them home with a whis- tle that everyone recognized. He loved to dance and have a good time, and was one to keep busy. Survivors include his daughters, Kathy (Dave) Mosteit, Judy Wilson and Georgia (Norm) Burnett; grandchildren, Brian (Kristi) Buchanan, Chris (Angela) Wolf, Kasey (Tim) Tekippe, Mathew (Melissa) Wilson, Jason (Lena) Buchanan, Ingrid (Bryant) Huang, Chris Burnett, Jenny Massey, Dustin and Haylie Mosteit; and 12 great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his wife, and his brother and brother’s wife Barbara. Contributions to benefit the Ukiah Cemetery may be made in care of the family’s name, and sent to Pendleton Pioneer Chapel, 131 S.E. Byers Ave., Pendleton, OR 97801. RICHLAND, Wash. – Jacelyn Loyce “Jace” Black, 36, formerly of Grant County, died Oct. 25 in Rich- land, Wash., after succumbing to in- juries from an automobile accident on Oct. 19 in Hermiston. A funeral service will be at 1 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 31, at Prairie City Baptist Church in Prairie City. A graveside service will follow at Canyon City Cemetery and a reception at the John Day Senior Center. Ms. Jace was born Nov. 24, 1978, in John Day, to Mary Lou (Phillips) Campbell and Jimmy R. Black. Although Jacelyn was diagnosed with Down Syndrome, she quickly became the ray of sunshine for her parents, brother, sister and loving extended family and friends. She began early intervention programs as an infant and con- tinued her education in Grant Union School District, graduating from high school in 1997. During her school years, she was both a student and a teacher in that she helped lead the way for new ideas and programs to enrich the lives of herself and her peers. Even though her speech was audible, she learned sign lan- guage so she could communicate with those not so fortunate. Her childhood was full of engaging indoor and outdoor activ- ities in which she fully participated and was often the leader. In 1998, she moved with her family to Hermiston, where she became involved with the ARC of Umatilla, People First, a job at McDonald’s and continued participation in Special Olym- pics. Later, she volunteered reading books to children at the Hermiston Library. She took great pride in having her own apartment she shared with her cat, Patsy. There, she created amazing baked goods, and crocheted hats, scarves and hot pads to share with friends and family. She spent months preparing for holidays and never forgot a birthday – including her own. The children in her apart- ment complex gathered at her home to enjoy her fresh baked food, games and crafts. She watched over, fed and brought the children in from the cold while they waited for their parents to return home. Survivors include her parents, Mary Lou and Gordon Camp- bell of Pasco, Wash.; father, Jim Black of Boise, Idaho; broth- ers, Aaron (Kirsten) Black, Zoey and Addison of Bend, Ryan (Christie) Campbell, Lexie, Ryle and Mason of Pilot Rock; sisters, Emily (Greg) Ransier, Natalie, Nathan and Kaelene of Pasco, Wash., Lindsay (Jeremiah) Maghan, Schade, Kellon, Brogan and Alex of Eugene, Angie (Neal) Raynor of Scotland; grandmother, Loyce Phillips; and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and extended family and friends. She was preceded in death by grandparents, Jim and Betty Black of Boise, Idaho, and grandfather Stan Phillips of John Day. Memorial contributions may be made to the Special Olym- pics, Grant County Library or a charity of one’s choice through Driskill Memorial Chapel, 241 S. Canyon Blvd., John Day, OR 97845. S TUDENTS OF THE M ONTH Contributed photo Cooper Ross, 6, of John Day, center, and his cousins, Alyse Robinson, left, and Koehn Robinson, took the Eagle on vacation recently to the Myriad Botanical Gardens in Oklahoma City. Cooper was there on a trip with his grandmother, Sherri Dowdy of John Day, to visit family and, as Dowdy said, “To feed Cooper’s passion for zoo animals.” In addition to the botanical gardens, they visited the Oklahoma Aquarium, Pumpkinville, Kinker Air Force Base and the Oklahoma City Zoo – twice – where Cooper said he will work someday.
