The Morrow County Museum
in Heppner was a coffee stop
Nov. 6 for Oregon Historical
Society members tracing the
Oregon Trail in reverse.
Around 60 members from the
coastal and Portland areas travel
ed by bus from Portland to Biggs,
Condon, Heppner, Pendleton and
Baker City before returning to
Pendleton Sunday. They planned
to spend Friday night in
Pendleton and Saturday night in
Baker City where they were to
visit the Oregon Trail Interpretive
Center.
While the tour members said
they were enjoying their trip, the
journey was m arred by
mechanical problems. A wheel
on their bus broke on the way to
Heppner and the tour was delayed
for about an hour. When they
finally arrived, they were greeted
by Museum director Marsha
Sweek and Morrow County
Historical Society members, who
served the travelers coffee, punch
and cookies. There was also time
for a brief tour of the museum.
Many of the members com
mented on the beauty of the Mor
row County Courthouse.
Accompanying the tour was the
director of the Oregon Historical
Society, Chet Orloff, his wife,
Wendy and their daughter, Han
nah, who says that she is four and
% years old.
Orloff says that this is his third
time in Heppner, just this year,
and his fifth time in Eastern
Oregon. He added that he tries to
accompany all of the Historical
Society tours. Orloff first came
to the society as a volunteer in
1975. He worked his way up in
the organization and in 1986 was
named assistant director. After a
short time away from the socie
ty, he was named director a year
ago.
Also traveling with the group
was Charlotte White. Portland,
who lived in Pendleton years ago.
White had quite an interesting
story to tell about Heppner’s
darker past. White’s husband
Herb, was court reporter from
1953 to 1967 for the district
which included Heppner. Mor

row County District Attorney at
the time was long time county
resident and attorney Bob
Abrams, who is now a judge in
Pendleton. According to White,
a woman left her husband and
fled with her son, ending up in
Heppner. Her husband eventually
found the pair and sent his at
torney to Heppner to bring the
hoy hack to him. The attorney at
tempted to take the boy from his
scout meeting, but was prevented
by Abrams, who also happened
to be the boy’s scout leader. Since
Abrams wouldn't turn the boy
over to him the attorney then
found the woman at the restaurant
where she worked as a waitress
and demanded that she turn over
the boy to him. She refused and
in a struggle shot and killed the
attorney. White says she believes
the woman is still in prison.
