Thrilling Storie» of Early Pioneer Days As Told by Mr. Beasley Recalled by Many. Richard Beasley, 88, resident of Hermiston for 12 years, passed away peacefully while he slept Wednes- day evening at the Hermiston hos pital. Funeral services will be held at 2:00 o’clock Friday afternoon at Prann Funeral Parlors and inter ment made in the Hermiston ceme tery. Rev. A. J. Ware, who Is con ducting services at Helix, will read the service. Mr. Beasley had been in failing health for the past four years but was never bedfast over any long period. He made his home with his daughter Mrs. George Wagner. Coming from his birthplace in Scuyler county Missouri, near Lang- ster, with his parents in 1865, they reached Oregon with a wagon train which was conveyed by oxen. When the 100 wagons and 600 head of stock reached Fort Corney it was separated and Mr. Beasley’s parents went with the wagons taking the route through Colorado and Utah. Within six months after they left Missouri the Beasleys settled at Pilot Rock. Ore., where the bunch grass was four feet high at that time. Mr. Beasley lived at Pilot Rock for thirteen years and during that time he met and married Sarah Looney. In 1878 they moved to Moscow. Idaho, where they lived for 24 years. While living there Mr. Beasley was on a committee to build two Baptist churches and a par sonage, for which lumber was haul ed from Palouse, a distance of 20 miles. The shingles were made by hand and shaved with a parring knife. While living at Moscow Mr. Beas ley raised wheat and flax which he hauled to the Wawai landing on the Snake river, a distance of approxi mately thirty miles, and he general ly marketed his bacon hogs in Walla Walla in order to trade them for provisions. In October, 1931, Mr. Beasley took his first airoplane ride while the Umatilla Project fair was in prog ress here. Mr. Beasley has related many thrilling stories of his experiences while crossing the plains, and these will remain as pleasant memories to many people to whom he had relat ed his stories. He Is survived by one sister, Mrs. N. W. Haun of Centralia, Wn., one brother, W. B. Beasley of Hermis ton; and the following children: Mrs. Geo. Wagner, Hermiston; Mrs. Earl Wilson and Mrs. R. G. Gale of Vancouver, Wn.; Mrs. Chester Har ris, Hermiston; Mrs. Geo. Harris, Lewiston, Ida., Robert E. Lee Beas ley, Lewiston, Ida.; Miles Beasley, Kennewick, Wn. Golfers Will Meet.
