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.

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.
