The Heppner Gazette-Timea, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, February 17, 1983 TIIKKK
Around About
By Justine Weatlwrford
Many family groups In south Morrow Co. enjoyed a very
fine breakfast last Saturday morning at the Customer
Apprcctaton Day In the Morrow County Grain Growers
building at Lexington. There was bo much to see and to learn
about In the large building, such as, great displays of
equipment, counters and shelves packed with interestisng
and useful assortments of merchandise and the special
demonstrations arranged by the wheat and beef growers and
promoters.
The Morrow County Historical Book Committee members
and some officers of the Pioneer Memorial Hospital
Foundation, Inc. were out there recruiting more partici
pants, too. Both of these groups and their programs are most
worthy of county-wide support.
Other nice events of the busy weekend included the
Heppner Lions Indies' Night party at the Wagon Wheel Cafe
Saturday night. Mary Goheen showed slides of her recent
Scandanavian trip that were very pleasing and educational.
On Sunday, the men of St. Patrick's Catholic Church
presented their annual Valentine Breakfast, and that
afternoon at the United Methodist Church, younger members
honored older members with a Valentine Dinner and
program. The weekend needed to be extended to include
Monday, Feb. 14, and the Heonner-Morrow First Citizens
Dinner, too, and then Tuesday'! Shrove Dinner at All Saints
Church.
How pleasing to find a really great cover girl pictured on
the February "Huralite" magazine. Great grandmother
Maggie Healy is surely a person her children, her 17
grandchildren and 25 great grandchildren and all of the
Heppner community can point to with much pride. Her life
story is nicely written by Condon's Jean Gilliam. Be sure to
read about this lively 90-year-old woman who came to
Heppner from County Leitrim. Ireland over 70 years ago.
Within recent weeks, several interesting letters from
former Heppner residents who continue to read this
newspaper have reached me. Clair II. Cox wrote from
Corvallis where I first knew his wife, Charlotte, as the
secretary to Dean Zeran in the OSU School of Education
office. I knew Clair as a dealer of real estate. His letter tells
of his long time interest in vintage cars and in automobile
racing. He often comes to Heppner to visit with his
mother, now M and living In the nursing home, and with his
brother, Bill. I saw Clair at the M.C.G.G. breakfast last
Saturday. I overheard Herman Green saying "It would be a
lot harder to name the people who were there than to name
the few wo missed going."
Ray W. McDuffee. P.O. Box 178. Seal Rock. Oregon. 97376,
wrote such a nice letter and sent along a most delightful little
book which he and his wife. Nell, wrote about life in
Monument. Oregon, in years past. "Across Wide Seas and
Lands to a New Life on the North Fork of the John Day
Rim" has only 12 pages of narration, but includes more than
another 12 pages of fascinating pictures. It tells of the
Americanization of the Charles Capon. Henry Cupper and
Miles Page families and their descendants and their
transposition from well-established farm homes in Fram
lingham. Suffolk. England, to their frontier homesteads
along the John Day. Henry Cupper was Ray's great uncle;
John U. Capon was his maternal grandfather and Miles
Page's widow, Lenora, was a Capon.
How I wish Ray McDuffee had suggested that this book
could be given to the Morrow County Museum, but he wrote
"Please be kind to the booklet and return it to me soon." I
took it with me to the Bookworm Club meeting the day after it
arrived and all the ladies there, were fascinated with it.
Sylvia McDaniel asked if she could borrow it for a few days
because her husband, Carl, would be interested in it. When
sh returned it to me she said that she had shared it with
wwnl friends, and that she really hoped to persuade Ray
McDuffee to sell her a copy.
I am mailing his copy home today, but I am keeping the
Qwee sand -written pages which tell of his parents and his life
SS lUrtfansfl where they stayed very near George and Ida
(Capon) Bleakman. In her youth. Ray's mother. Alice, had
come to Heppner to work for Dr. Conser's family. Ray's
father worked at many Jobs in many places before becoming
a Morrow County deputy sheriff, and then after an heroic act,
being elected county sheriff, a position he held for 18 years,
prior to the 40-year service of Clarence J.D. Bauman.
As I return the booklet. I am writing to ask Ray if I might
have the privilege of using his writing about his parents and
family members for an article in the next Morrow County
Historical Chronicles book. I also think that he should send a
complete re-write of all of his family's involvement in this
county for the coming Morrow County History Book.
His personal note to me says that he will come to the
Pioneer Picnic in May and that he is aware that the Wright
Tribe Is In charge. He remebers "The summer (his aunt)
Kva Capon married Ray Wright and later on (another aunt)
Mary Capon married Clyde Wright at our home in
Hardman."
Every year that I have lived here except one. I have spent
Memorial Sunday in Arlington with the Weatherfords. This
year I may Just vary this routine because I want to meet Kay
McDuffee, and because not long ago I had a telephone call
from Beverly Wright Inviting me to come to one of the
pluming sessions for this year's picnic along with those busy
family members out at the Albert Wright Ranch on Rhea
Creek on March 20.
