It was built. In 1891, 12 years before the town was Incorporat ed. The building had been de teriorating for years, when Jesse Harris and Herman Chrlstensen decided to restore it to the days of the 19th century. They do nated their carpenter work, re shingled the roof and did oth er odd Jobs. Mr. Harris fenced the yard with rails made for fences In the pioneer days by early homesteaders. There are now many people living In Morrow, Gilliam and Wheeler Counties who remember attending the dances at the Lonerock hall. During the pro hibitlon days It often happened some of the gents got too much fire water and had to be locked up In the Jail house. One group wasn't too happy about their lodging place and set the bed on fire. When the smoke began to pour out thru the bars, the door was opened and the prison ers made their get away while the fire was being extinguished. When the Oregon Centennial grounds were being constructed at Portland In 1959, the man agement wrote to the Lonerock Council for the use of their Jail house. A meeting was held and they voted to let them use the building but requested that It be returned after serving the Centennial. A delegation came up from Portland and after measuring the Jail found its dimensions too wide for their truck. HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES, Thunder, August 20.
