At the museum, we were greatly surprised, at the wealth of information available on the early pioneers of Morrow County for researchers. We were pleased with the knowledgeable staff and their eagerness to assist people doing family research. We were very impressed with the variety of museum pieces. Seldom do you find this much variety and so well displayed in a small town. The curator o f the m useum should be complemented on the effort put forth in caring for all the items. Morrow County should be proud of having such a museum. The county clerk and her staff (also gave) assistance to me in the two days I spent doing research in her office.

Box 532, Lexington, OR 97339 U c « im 4 & bended in Oregon #0X0119048 Wilma and Wesley Marlatt, Heppner, were convicted of bilking taxpayers out of $176,000 in disability payments, tax évasion and filing false tax returns. Assistant U.S. attorney Allan Garten said that Wesley Marlatt, 63, managed the family janitorial business, Marlatt Enterprises, while he collected disability payments from a broken back suffered in 1968. The Internal Revenue Service discovered false tax returns during a routine audit in 1989. Garten said that the Marlatts then funneled their home and vehicles to off-shore accounts, renamed their business to throw off regulators and declared themselves tax protesters. The 1RS alleged that the Marlatts under-reported their 1988 income by $60,000, their 1989 income by $250,000 and didn't report any of their 1990 gross receipts of $460,000. The 1RS said that the Marlatts had not filed tax returns since 1989. According to the defense attorney, Wilma Marlatt, 55, and the Marlatts' adult children ran the business. The attorney said that Wesley Marlatt accompanied them to commercial job sites because he didn't want to stay home alone. The family decided to sell the business in the late 1980s, through their friend and fellow church member, Sid Swindler of Tri-Cities, because Wilma Marlatt was in poor health. The defense claimed that Swindler duped the Marlatts, took some of their money and left them exposed to government prosecution.
