The departed moved to the Hay stack country in 1877 with her hus band and children. She was a real Oregon pioneer as in those days neighbors were few and far apart, and brave was the heart of "The Little Mother" as she was lovingly called by those far and near, to withstand the dangers of the fron tier with a family of small children. In those days medical aid was not to be had, and the little mother was the country doctor for all in a ra dius of twenty miles and never were the roads too bad or the night too dark for this courageous little soul to give aid to some needy or dis tressed person. At one time after ministering to a dying mother, she carried twin babies home with her to mother them until such time as they were old enough for their fa ther to care for. The two mention ed are Claud and Clyde Hughes, the latter residing at West Linn, near Oregon City. Claud has never been heard of since the World war. She was indeed a "friend in need." She was again united in marriage with William Collins In 1891, and has lived in the Haystack community ever since, always ren dering help and comfort wherever possible. It is indeed a loss to the community and the state at large when a pioneer like the "Little Mo ther" is called beyond. Little Mother you are gone How we miss your smiling face. Other friends may come and go; None can ever tak your place. You have soothed the actin g heart. You have dried the falling tears; Shame on him who could forget All you've done these many years! You have earned a" rich reward: When we follow, one by one, May our hands, iike yours, be filled With good deeds which we have done. All honor to The Pioneer Mothers. The deceased spent several win ters at Heppner with her son, Geo. Hayden, and leaves many friends in this vicinity, many of whom had known and loved her before moving to Heppner. (Contributed.)
