Ida May Hallock Button Tells
Of Early Coming to Heppner
(From "Impressions" by Fred : -
"Yes, I can qualify as -a pio
neer of eastern Oregon, said Ida
May Hallock Dutton when I
dropped in to see her recently at
the Mann home.
"We settled near Heppner,"
he continued, "before the town
was started. Mr. Stansbury had
a log cabin on the site of what
is now Heppner. We left Port
land In 1871, went to The Dalles
by boat and from there drove to
Eastern Oregon. Father took a
homestead nine miles south of
the Stansbury claim, on which
Heppner was located two years
later. Jackson L. Morrow and
Henry Heppner started a store
there in 1873, and the postoffice
was ramed for Henry Heppner, a
bachelor. He was 76 years old
when he died in Portland in
1905.
"No, I am not a native Ore
gonian, though I have lived in
Oregon almost 80 years. I was
born in New York state March
29, 1S60. My father, Oliver Hal
lock, was born in New York
state, and my mother, whose
maiden name was Hannah Eliz
abeth Mallory, was also born in
New York state. My mother's
brother, Rufus Mallory, was
born at Coventry, N. Y., in 1831,
and came to Oregon in 1859. He
was admitted to the circuit
court at P.oseburg in 1S60, the
year I was born. Aaron Rose
started the town of Roseburg in
1851. He married Lucy A. Rose
of Roseburg. After they moved
to Portland, Mrs. Mallory pub
lished a paper here for many
years. In 1863 Judge Mallory
was part owner of the Oregon
Statesman at Salem. He prac
ticed law at Salem and in Port
land for many years.
"I was eight years old when
we came to Oregon; we came by
water by way of the Isthmus of
Panama. Our trip from New
York to the Isthmus was a quiet
trip, but our trip from San Fran
cisco to Portland on the John L.
Stephens wag a humdinger. It
was a three-deck sidewheeler,
and we had a rough trip. We
went to Jefferson where my fa
ther and mother ran a. hotel.
They were building a railroad
from Portland through the Wil
lamette valley, and the railroad
workers stopped at our hotel. In
1871 father drove a herd of cat
tle to Eastern Oregon. That's
how we happened to locate near
Heppner.
"My sister, Alberta Hallock,
taught the first school in Hepp
ner. She had nearly 20 pupils.
There were the Stansbury chil
dren, the children of Jake Mor
row and I also was a pupil. Al
berta married L. H. Lee of Pen
dleton. He has a ranch on Burch
creek. Our new teacher was
Howard Wilson. He married one
of the Melson girls of . Salem.
There were five of us children.
My brother, Mallory, died not
long after we came to Oregon.
Albert was the next child, then
came Homer. He set type for
Sam Jackson on the East Ore
gonian at Pendleton. Homer
married Nellie Bernard! of Sal
em. Homer died when the Cham-

A Penny Saved Is A Penny Earned
That's an old saw, but it applies to the situation
at our store. A penny here and a penny there in
time adds up to a substantial savings-and how
can you earn money easier than to save on your
food purchases? . . . That's why thrifty house
wives go a little farther almost every day to
shop where they know they are realizing sav
ings. We are operating as economically as possible
a strictly cash basis-that you may benefit by
your purchases here. Your generous patronage
has given us confidence that we adopted the
right course.
