Session Honors Rep. Weatherford With Memorial A memorial resolution In hon or of the late Rep. Frank Weath erford was passed at the spec ial session of the legislature on November 17. Kcp. Weatherford, who lived at Olex. died August 26. He had served In two sessions of the legislature, 1959 and 1961, and represented the district of which Morrow county Is a part. Rep. Irvin Mann of Stanfleld presented the memorial in the House of Representatives, and In doing so, made the following remarks in tribute to the late Rep. Weatherford: Frank Weatherford was a member of a highly respected pioneer famllv In which public service is a deep-seated tradit ion and in which political in dividualism is a highly devel oped trait. This is illustrated by the fact that Frank served four of the counties now in the five-county twenty eighth district as a Dem ocrat state representative in the 1959 and 1961 sessions. His brother, Ike, served In this House as a Republican represen tative in the 1953 session from Wallowa County. His brother, Marion, was an unsuccessful Republican candi date for Congress in the 1950's. And his brother, Bill, was an unsuccessful Democrat candi date for county commissioner in Morrow County in I9b4. Of the surviving brothers, each embraces his political par ty with complete partisanship and sincerity, as did fTanK. Frank was born near Olex In Gilliam County in 1896. He re sided there continuously except during his service in the army during World War I. His only schooling was throueh the tenth grade which did not keep him from becom ing a most successful sheep and cattle operator and a good sol id legislator. Frank was a lean, weather beaten man who was equally at home on the range or in the woods as he was in the halls of this assembly. At the time of his passing he was still in public service as a (jiniam County Commissioner and was still active in partnership with his son, Earl, in the iivestocit business. Gilliam County and this state are the better for Frank Weath erford's having been here and we have lost much in his pass ing. Attends BPA Meet Oscar E.
