said my wife brought In the girl

houeht the pair of shoe. Any

tor sure she was mine. I am
still not satisfied that she was
mine.
Ml Anna McBrlde. our next
door neighbor who lived lust
north of us and who clerked In
the oot orflce. was found about
ten dava after the flood. She did
not have on a stitch of doming,
not even a shoe or stocking, but
hir claws were still on and
not even broken.
Mv brother Mose'a wife. Man'
rrabhed ud two babies, one her
own and the other belonging to
her brother. TearL She was sav
ing them when a mlghtv wave
threw a plank up against her

When she was struck by the
plank she dropted both babies.
When she came to, she touna
both babies gone. Then she saw

out of the water she found she
had saved her brothers bahy.
but she never saw hers again.
In IW2. Mike B. 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. If
he could have lasted a few days
longer, he would have had
another visit with Olive and
me, as we were getting ready
to run down to see him again.

Children's cries were heard
