The lone Topic Club held their
meeting March 31 at the lone
United Church social rooms with
M argaret M organ, C hristy
Crowell and Jean Nelson as
hostesses. Special guests for the
day were Ruth McCabe and
Helen Martin.
Jean Nelson, dressed in her
pioneer dress, presented a pro
gram on “ The Oregon Trail In
Morrow County. ” She told about
the many families that came west
on the “ primary” Oregon Trail
from Independence, MO., pass
ing through six states o f
Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska,
W yom ing, Idaho and into
Oregon. Nelson spoke of the
hardships of the five-month trip
across mountains, rivers and
plains with the dearth of food,
water and firewood, and disease
and lack of grass for the animals.
The Oregon Trail in Morrow
County passes through the coun
ty starting at Butter Creek
through private land of the Lind
say ranch, the Oregon Circle
ranch, the Navy Strategic
Weapons Range, the Boeing
Agri-Industrial Park and the land
o f the M illers, Pettyjohns,
Dohertys and the Krebs to Cecil
(Willows).
Many events are planned dur
ing the 1993 Sesquicentennial
celebration. The Morrow Coun
ty wagon will accompany the of
ficial wagon train through the
county from Butter Creek to Ella,
Cecil, and on to the Krebs ranch
in Gilliam County. The wagon
belongs to Bob Harrison who will
be one of the wagon masters as
well as Everett. Keithly. Another
wagon master will be selected
soon.
“ Morrow County is unique in
that there are 12 miles of un
disturbed ruts visible,” said
Nelson, “ including seven miles
of the Boardman Hiking seg
ment.” The Boardman segment
is one of the seven designated as
walking trails out of the whole
2170 miles memorialized by con
gress in 1978 as the Historic Na
tional Oregon Trail. It is hoped
that the Morrow County wagon
will appear in parades at events
in the county during 1993.
