FOUR The Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, October 11, 1979
With Justine U eatherford J J
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Heppner from St. Helens, Ore. made
their first visit to Heppner last Wednesday afternoon. They
spent quite an enjoyable two hours in the county museum
which his father and mother, the Frank Heppner seniors,
visited several years ago and bragged about to their
children.
The Heppner family, of Germanic background, is based
at Warroad, Minn, although several younger members have
now become Oregonians. Frank told us that Parkrose High's
outstanding gymnastic coach, Ann Heppner, whom we
learned about on TV a few weeks ago, is married to his
brother Kenneth. The family feels a kinship to Henry
Heppner although they do not have his name on a
genealogical chart.
The Heppners, Mrs. Kemp and granddaughter Angela
from Nottingham, England, and about ten others spent time
observing the museum exhibits Oct. 3. Each had very
favorable comments about the surprising, interesting
collections.
Saturday an eager group of shoppers waited for the
opening of the doors at the Annual Soroptimist Rummage
Sale where a vast collection of pre-owned merchandise was
available at very low prices. A second wave of shoppers hit
the sale at 2 p.m. when large, well-stuffed bags of bargains
were being checked out quickly at 50 cents each.
It is hoped that the Soroptimists' hours of efforts in
collecting, sorting, arranging and managing this big sale has
netted their scholarships good funds.
Sunday, the 114-member Morrow County Historical
Society Annual Meeting brought a good turnout of folks, food
and delightful old and new quilts. Society President Delpha
Jones wove the business meeting and the pleasing musical
selections around speaker Dr. Joe Feather's reminiscenses
of his teaching and coaching in Lexington and his facts about
his present work as an anthropologist employed by the U.S.
Forest Service.
It is so good to have Irene Swanson back from her month
of travel in Ireland, Scotland and England where she found
the climate cool but the people warm. She was within eight
feet of Pope John Paul II in Dublin and felt the tremendous
affection that the Catholic Irish feel for this world leader.
Great-grandmother Irene, a devout Catholic, exper
ienced a terrific thrill just being in Dublin during the
excitement of the Papal visit. She along with millions of
others, both Catholic and non-Catholic, have cheered his
talks stressing peace, love and morality to the multilingual
peoples he has visited during the last two weeks in the
Emerald Isle and in the U.S.A.
We will all be eager to hear the reports of the McElligott
visit to Des Moines where Ione's Don was one of a group of
farmers chosen to attend a special mass with His Holiness.
Although we have followed the historic visit and daily
appearances of this modern apostle of love and human
concern, it brings him even closer to hear reports from those
among us who were physically closer to him.
Senior Citizen News
Several meetings of interest
to seniors are held every
second month by county
advisory committees and re
view many matters of impor
tance. The transportation commit
tee worked on plans for wider
use of the senior bus which has
been provided for seniors and
handicapped persons through
out the whole county. It was
determined that each of the
five incorporated areas of the
county should plan for six
days usage, beginning with
Heppner, then Lexington,
lone, Boardman and Irrigon.
The expense of the operation
of the bus was discussed and
each community will be urged
to arrange for some of the cost
of its use. Doris Gollyhorn,
lone, is president of the
County Advisory Committee.
Reports from the mealsite
committees, the homemaker
supervisor and the home
health care office show how
well these programs are being
used and how successfully
they are helping people in this
and adjoining counties.
Rollin Reynolds, the ECOAC
Director of the Area Agency
on Aging, spoke to an attentive
group at the Methodist Church
last Wednesday. He gave the
background of the federal and
state programs for seniors. He
explained that citizens should
focus "not on problems but on
opportunities." He reviewed
the various social programs
effective in the five-county
area where he works and does
much traveling. Many ques
tions were fielded by him and
by Paul Jones and by senior
leader Truman Messenger of
Lexington.

Former Morrow County woman
reaches century mark
Edith Stanton of Walla
Walla, who grew up near
Heppner, recently celebrated
her 100th birthday.
Copies of interviews with
the Walla Walla Union-Bulletin,
marking not only her
centenary but her 99th birth
day a year ago, were brought
to the Gazette-Times office by
Alta Stevens of Heppner last
week.
In the interview, Mrs. Stan
ton's advice for longevity was,
"Be as happy as you can, do
all you can to enjoy your
husband's company and keep
your debts paid."
She was born Sept. 16, 1879,
in the Whiskey Creek area
near Dayton, Wash., the child
of James and Marinda Allen.
Her father had operated pack
strings in the California and
Idaho gold-mining areas of the
1850s and '60s.
"I lived there (Whiskey
Creek) until I was five, then
my parents decided to take up
a homestead south of Hepp
ner, near Hardman," she told
an interviewer.
She started school in a
one-room building that her
father helped build. She atten
ded school "off and on" until
she was 17. "Sometimes you
only went three or four months
at a time."
She said she remembered
her teacher for two things.
"She had a fine hand and
wrote across the board, 'Dig
for knowledge as men dig for
concealed gold.'"
- -i n -nun, , , ;
SHE'S 100 Edith Stanton of
Walla Walla, who spent her
girlhood in the Heppner area.
The picture appeared in the
Walla Walla Union-Bulletin
recently.
A few years later, "when we
girls could sew," the teacher
provided material and the
girls sewed an American flag
to hang across the back of the
room.
When she was 17, Mrs.
Stanton's "digging for know
ledge" in a classroom came to
an end, as she was employed
in Heppner area homes doing
tiousework for a year or more.
At 18 she was married to
Benjamin Stanton, who was
then working for his father in
the Eight-mile area, a few
miles north of Hardman.
Later he took over the farm's
operation.
The Heppner flood of 1903
left its mark on the family.
Her husband's sister and her
seven children were swept
away in the flash flood that
struck the town.
With a sizable family taking
shape in the Stanton house
hold, and a desire to see the
children have better education
facilities, the Stantons decided
to move to the Walla Walla
area in 1908.
He was employed by lumber
companies in Walla Walla and
College Place. In later years
he was a cabinet maker. He
died in 1963, a few months
short of their 65th wedding
anniversary.
Losing her husband, whom
she had known since school
days, was "a sad time," she
admits, but she kept busy with
her house and garden, and
that helped.
"I figured he's gone and I
can't bury myself with him."
Of their seven children, five
are still living. Fairy, a
daughter, resides in an adjoin
ing apartment; another
daughter, Mary Munnick,
lives a few blocks away.
Daughter Reita Campbell
lives in Spokane, son Eldred
lives in Seattle and Dale is in
Sacramento. There are seven
grandchildren, six great
grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren.
Alta Stevens of Heppner, a
niece, is a daughter of the late
Maggie Allen Stevens, who
died in 1913, one of Mrs.
Stanton's sisters.
Another sister, Ethel Robin
son, still lives in Heppner.
Miss Stevens, has a bro
ther, Harold Stevens, who
lives in Hardman, and a
sister, Edith Musgrave of
Monument. Another brother,
James A. Stevens, was a
casualty of World War II in the
African campaign.
