HENRY C. GAY GAVE
LAW STARTING CITY
(Continued from First Page)
of land and 2200 head of sheep,
while establishing one of the best
kept and most prosperous farms
the county. Morrow was still a part
of Umatilla county when he shipped
the first alfalfa seed into the county
and thus assisted in Introducing
what has become the most success
ful irrigated hay crop in this re
gion. The fact that he was the first
to plant alfalfa seed In Umatilla
county was established while be re
tided at Hermiston in later years.
Politics claimed his interest as
conscientious citizen and he was
first induced to make the race for
representative in the legislature
1884. He lost that race to "Uncle
Jack" Morrow, the county's god
father, but two years later he was
successful in defeating J. B. Sperry,
founder of the first store on Rhea
creek and of the flouring mill at
Heppner. It was while serving in
the ensuing session that he intro
duced the bill which resulted in the
incorporation of the city of Hepp
ner. He also had an active part in
other important legislation, some
of which is reputed to have saved
Morrow county thousands of dol
lars.
F. D. McCulIy, fellow legislator,
as credited with saying that Mr.
Gay helped largely in putting across
the bill for establishment of Wal
lowa county, a move to which Mr.
McCully was committed. The Mor
row county man also was said to
have defeated, single-handed, a
move on the part of the counties to
the west to annex the north end of
Morrow county. He was the first
representative elected after Morrow
county was organized.
For many years Mr. Gay was a
leading member of the Methodist
church, South, taking an active ir.
terest in the work. He attended
several general conferences of the
church, among them one held in
Texas in 1906.
While in California he married
Miss Florence Bennett, daughter of
Albert and Bittridge V. (Little)
Bennett, at Main Prairie near
Marysville, on October 30, 1873, Mrs.
Gay being his constant companion
and helpmate since that time. To
them were born six children: Al
bert B., Arthur M., Lester E., Wal
ter H., Henry L. and Florence M.,
twins.
The family home was made on
Rhea creek continuously until 1922,
when Mr. and Mrs. Gay moved to
a small farm near Hermiston. They
resided there for eight years, and
returned to Heppner in 1930 to make
their home.
Besides his widow, Mr. Gay is
survived by all the children. Albert,
Lester, Walter and Florence (Mrs,
Wiliam French) reside at Heppner,
Arthur of Jefferson, and Henry L.
at Pendleton.
Mr. Gay's father was a man of
achievement in his day, having en
gaged in the contracting and lum
ber business. He contracted for
and built the canal from Chicago
to Joliet. As president of one of
the largest lumber companies in
Michigan, he also operated much in
that state. To his father, grandfa
ther of Henry C. Gay, is given cred
it for turning the first sod in con
nection with construction of the
first railroad out of Boston, one of
the earliest railroads in the country.
Arthur Gay, Henry's brother,
served with the Nineteenth Illinois
in the Civil war. They came of
English extraction, nine brothers
of their ancestors having come to
America at the same time.
To this useful and constructive
life, Morrow county owes a debt of
gratitude.

us hope that we too shall live in a
better world after we pass this
