Letters to
Seeks Spencer
family history
To the Editor:
1 have a copy of the
Centennial Issue of the "Gazette-Times,"
Thursday, Aug
ust 24, 1972. My grandfather,
Daniel Taylor Spencer, ar
rived in Heppner in the
summer of 1873. There is an
item in the paper that said the
Spencer store was moved
there from Ruggs. Could you
tell me where Ruggs is or
was,? It does not appear on any
map in my possession.
Also could you tell me what
type of store the Spencer store
was? My father was born in
Heppner April 14, 1874; Taylor
Spencer died in October, 1874.
The widow and her children
returned to Missouri and she
remarried. My father was
brought up by a stepfather and
never knew much about his
father's family until he was an
adult.
I am aware that Heppner
has had at least one disastrous
flood and that many records
were lost but would very much
appreciate anything that
could tell something of those
times past.
I-realize that starting to
gather information more than
100 years after may be asking
the impossible. But it is now or
never for I am almost the last
of Byron Spencer's descend
ants and the younger genera
tion is anxious for some sort of "
record.

Give me back
America
(Editor's note: The follow
ing letter arrived too late for
the Christmas issue of the
"Gazette-Times." However,
we felt it would be just as
appropriate to start off the
New Year.)
Dear Santa:
A few things I would sure
like for Christmas, the cost in
dollars and cents isn't much,
so maybe you can help.
Can you help us put our
nation back in the position of
being a world leader and
proud of it?
Can you put into our
government leaders of today a
little bit of Roosevelt, Tru
man, Eisenhower and Kenn
edy who could say "yes" with
pleasant meaning and "no"
with stern answers to world
problems.
Can you put our nation back
into a forward motion from
the step that Neil Armstrong
took on the moon? If you stop
to think about it, that is about
the time the productive minds
of our people and this great
government started slowing
down.
Can you give us back the
true meaning of a handshake,
a tear in a child's eye, a smile
on one's face, a true "hello,"
"thank you" and "you're
welcome"?
Can you give us back the
true meaning of Christmas
and what you really stand for?
I will help you all I can, Santa,
just give me back AMERICA!
