Leonard continued ; now Ona's
nephew, Don Gilliam, who
lives on part of the family
place, carries on this work.
Her mother was Effie J.
Wright, daughter of Albert
and Julia Wright, pioneers
who were instrumental in
founding the Methodist
Church here, which has just
celebrated its centennial. The
church is just one block from
Ona's home from her tenth
year until almost her ninetieth
year she died nine days
before her ninety-third birth
day. Ona Gilliam had her public
schooling here, graduating
with the high school's first
four-year class in 1902. She
took nurses' training in Walla
Walla and practiced nursing
in Heppner's old hospitals. She
was 66 when the Pioneer
Memorial Hospital, her final
home, was opened.
After Ona left it, the old
home was demolished. Mrs.
Amanda Duvall had pur
chased many of its furnish
ings, and they became a big
part of the furnishings in the
exhibit rooms in the County
Museum's newest addition.
Thus, equipment and furnish
ings that Ona Gilliam used
and preserved are now sort of
a memorial to her and her
family and will be of interest
and educational value to their
community for years to come.
Music at her funeral service
was by organist Pauline Mil
ler and vocalists Carl and
Betty Marquardt. Bearers
were Ambrose Chapin, Harold
Wright, Gene Pierce, L.D.
Tibbies, Randall Peterson and
Jack Healy. Graveside ser
vices were conducted by
Ruth-Locust Chapter No. 32,
Order of Eastern Star. Swee
ney Mortuary handled the arrangements.
