Galloway opened ur a small pastime in the old Kd Matlock saloon and later that year 1 bought a half Interest In this business. He had one billiard table, one pool tab le. two card tables and a small stock of goods. Later that same year I bought his half Interest and was operating this at the time of the flood. I had moved from the saloon to the old Ma sonic building on the corner across from the new Belvedere just built bv Mike Roberts. After the flood of 19tt. I sold the business to Fred West berg and went to Portland. I never built another home in Heppner. In Portland I worked for B. B. Rich who operated a retail cigar store in the old Perkins hotel. Earlv in 1904. I went back to Heppner and bought back the old pastime business. In 190t, I resold the business to P. Dev in and moved back to Portland where I have resided since. I have been here now 48 years. It seems a lone time since the terrible flood wiped out seven teen of my folks and scores of friends. And yet sometimes it seems only yesterday. Even to this day I can't tell how I stood the terrible ordeal. On June 28, 1936. I married Lena B. Smith of Portland, sis ter of Dr. Earl Smith who was county coroner for 16 years. On March 17. 1949. I had a stroke which paralyzed my entire left side and since then I have been unable to walk. I wish I could go back once more to the old home town, but I have a feeling that I will never see the old place again. Some of the most happy and some oi the most unhappy times of my life were spent there. I want you to have our old flood pa pers and an old scrap book that I have kept for all these years. I know you can make good use of them. Goodby now, but I know I will never see you again. (Author's note: Mr. Ashbaugh died during the year of 1953.
