Garage Work A Specialty. OIL and GASOLINE RE BROTHERS Hardman, Oregon MRS. ELIZA J. AYERS. A short time before the death of Clara Barton, the famous nurse and Red Cross worker, which occured not long ago, some one asked her what was the secret of her long life, and how she was able to accomplish so much in ninety years. Her reply was, "I work." When Sara Bernhardt was in this country last year she was asked the secret of her power and how she look ed so youthful at sixty-eight. "I work," said Sara. "I work be cause it is the only thing that makes life worth living. And I work to keep my beauty. The brain and the heart must be satisfied if the human beir.jj would be happy." I spent an afternoon with Mrs. Eliza Ayers at her home in Heppner this week and in the course of the conversation I asked her receipe which enabled her to outlive the pre scribed three score and ten years. "Having something td do," she ans wered. i No one can converse long with Mrs. Ayers and not be impressed with the fact that here is a woman who has experienced the trials of life, meeting them firmly, asking no odds and with al, cheerful, happy and full of anima tion. She was born back in Des Moines County, Iowa, near the city of Burlington, in the year 1836. Iowa we are told, produces two great crops, able women and corn. Her parents were William and Elizabeth Green wood, Virginians by birth who set tled in Iowa in the early days. They I wore accustomed to work, having wrestled with the soil in the moun tains of Virginia. The granite of Virginia is strong in iron, much of which sifts into the blood of the peo ple. "Our family crossed the plains in '48 and there wree sixty ox teams in the company It was at a time when ths Indians were restless and on the point of rebellion. Just as we cros sed the Missouri river we were stop ped by a band of them and father gave them a cow, which they demand- I ed for passing through their lands. ride on to the next camp, which he said was a short way up the trail. Father didn't want to loan it but finally let him have it providing he would not ride it hard. When he got outside the camp he went as fast as he could and father got on another horse and went after him. We thought that the Indians had killed him but he came back late that night and with the horse. We were so excited about it that we forgot to put out the guards until one of the men who happened to think of it went through the camp yelling, "No cam tain, no pjards out, five old squaws could ccpture the camp." ''On the way we met another com pany who were driving sheep across and we traveled with them for sev eral weeks. The owners were in sulting to ths drivers. One of them in a meeting wanted to have every man whipped who went to sleep on guard. The next night we had another meet ing and it was voted on as to whether we would divide the companies. They voted to divide and we left the people with the sheep. "We had one bad character on the trip named Trimbell. His wife was deathly sick and one night she asked for a drink of water and he refused to get it for her. Father happened to be on guard and heard him but he was such a desperate character that nothing was said about it. His wife died a short time later and we buried her on the plains. A few days after that one of his boyn fell off his horse and broke his armv Trimbell threw him back oh the horse and let him go. One time he whipped him with a rope which had a knot tied in it. The little fellow died a few days later and he put him in a badger hole and cov ered the hole with rocks. John Davis found it and buried it. Sometime afterwards a man came to our home in the Wilamette Valley and who should it be but Trimbell. He had a paper that he wanted my father to sign stating that he had treated his wife and family in a husbandly way on the plains. Father would not sign it and I afterwards was told that it was for a new matromonial purpose that he wanted to get the signatures.

There we farmed about 700 acres. A section of land at that time cost about $400. One acre cost that much there now. I lived there until 1855. My father and mother both died there, as did my first hus band, William Shaw, six months after we were , married in 1851. Three i years later I married Harvey Smith and we lived near Gervais. We had six children in all According to their ages, they are Mrs. Josephine Forwood, of Sumpter, Oregon; Mrs. Paulina Quaid, of Port land; Mrs. Cora Vanduyn, of Spokane, wasn.; Mrs. Eliza Wallbridge, of Heppner; Mrs, Viola Swinburne, who died in Heppner; Mrs. Ava Thornton, wno with her husband and child, Doris, were drowned in 1903, and Charley, who died when six years old We lived at Lebanon most of the time and Mr. Smith was sheriff of the county. In 1873 we came to Hemmei for Mr. Smith's health but he diec. the next year. I kept a boardine house in a building just south of Bol Hart's place for eight years. Here it a picture of the place." In the picture which Mrs. Ayei-E handed to me, one could make out Mrs Walt Richardson, who was a little girl then, Viola Swinburne and Mrs Herrington and herself, made up the rest of the ladies. Art Minor wat there and like all boys, barefooted. Oscar, who was older, could be dis tinguished. "Ellis Minor wanted to buy me out but I asked too much and he built the present building occupied by Bob Hart. In 1888 I marriet Mr, T. W. Ayers in 1888 I married Mr. T. W. Ayers. Geo. Stansberry and went into the real estate business. When I came to Heppner, Stansberry's log cabin was the only house here. Our nearest neighbor was O. H. Hallock who livec on the Bisbee place one half mile away. Tom Marlatt lived about t mile. Mr. Ayers was County Judge for three years and was one of the men who started the light plant. He died in 1909." Mrs. Ayers told me that she ownes and lived on a quarter section of lane which she bought of George Brainart after Mr. Smith died. This is a part of the Whetstone ranch now, which it four miles northeast of town. She moved to town and lived in her house where Thompson Bros, store is now It was during the days when the mail came from Pendleton and The Dalles, at first three times a week and then daily. About this time the Indiai wars occured, and to protect them selves, a stockade was built at Hepp ner. "I remember one night the youn fellow who carried the mail to Pendle ton was about ready to start with the stage alone. I told him that he bet ter stay at home for the Indiana would surely cut him off. He replied, "It it the United States mail and I have to go." I made up a lunch for him and jin the meantime two other men, Mr. Glover, division agent for the Btage line, and Mr. Romig, the horseshoer jfor the stage line, decided to accom pany him. Going over Butter Creek they saw an Indian lying on his elbow ready to kill the driver.When he saw : that there were three in the stage he did not molest them. When the stage started back to Heppner, the Indians stopped it between Pilot Rock and Pendleton and they were forced to re turn, i "One day a man came to town say- j ing that the Indians had surrounded j John Day and the people wanted help I The men here left at once and the Indians withdrew. I also remember 1 one day when we lived on the ranch, one of my daughters had gone to the pasture for the horse. Two Indians were watching her and when out of sight of the house, one of them took after her. She turned and ran for the house and eluded him. "In 1806 the Columbia river Indians were on the warpath and it is sup posed that they killed Whitman. My brother-in-law, Daniel Smith came along and wanted by husband to go to war. He would have gone but I be gan to cry about it and he ended by giving him his revolver and field glasses and staying home. While camping on the Burnt River some time later, Daniel and two other men strayed a small distance from the camp anl he and one of the other men were shot l.y the Indians. Ik-fore they could I reached hy the men in the camp, the Indians had scalped them and that night they built a fire on the hill nearby and danced around it and waved red blanket.
