Ninety-Year-Old Woman
Gardens, Paints House
Mrs. Jennie Young, former
ly Mrs. Fritz Ruch, who lives
t 908 West Tenth street,
Medford, took time out from
gardening and house paint
Jng to celebrate her 90th
birthday May 20. Friends
called during the day and
presented her with a cake,
nd she was a guest at
4 o'clock dinner at the home
of her son and daughter-in-law,
Mr. and Mrs. Henry
Buch, 809 South Newtown
street.
' Mrs. Young, a resident of
Jackson county for 89 years,
was born in Sacramento,
Calif., a daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Ed Estes, and came to
the area later known as
Grants Pass when she was
one year old. Mrs. Young said
they lived on the south side
6'f Rogue river, and that sec
tion was called "The Gra
nite." There was a ferry boat
across Rogue river at that
fime, and horses and vehicles
crossed on the ferry. She re
members when Grants Pass
was getting started.
' "I'm a kind of pioneer
girl," Mrs. Young says.
'Mother taught me to make
lace and to knit stockings
from home spun yard, and I
would do that while I rocked
my half sister in the cradle."
Her father died soon after
jbming to Oregon, and her
mother later married Calvin
Hinkle. Her family lived for
tf time at Log Town, and later
moved to Thompson creek,
where she married Fredlin
"Fritz" Ruch, brother of
C. M. Ruch, who established
the Ruch post office and
Itore about 1900.
' Mr. Ruch hauled produce
with team and wagon to
Klamath county, at first buy
ing fruits and vegetables
around Medford, and later
growing his own. Fruit and
garden produce were put in
bushel boxes, and eggs had a
favored place in the bottom of
the wagon where it was cool,
Mrs. Young recalls. Her hus
band forded Bear creek on
the way to Klamath, and after
he got over the Greenspring
mountains he "peddled
from house to house. Her
grandfather, Dolphin Grimes,
drove a freight wagon from
Crescent City.
. Mrs. Young has two other
sons, Harvey, at Salem, and
Edwin at V a 1 1 e j o, who
teaches in a high school there.
She has eight grand children
and several great grand
children. After the death of Mr.
Ruch, she was married to
Grant Young, whose death oc
curred three years later.
At her Thompson creek
home, Mrs. Young raised
poultry and rabbits, and for
many years she boarded
school teachers. Mrs. Young
'till does crocheting, and her
many large braided rugs
show how she has used her
pare time. Among many
things of interest at her home
is a collection of sea shells

hells. Among these is

old woman has saved from
her early married days.
She played the organ or
piano for many community
dances, often with Harvey or
Edwin accompanying on the
violin. She often played for
Sunday school or church, and
in the early part of her life
became a Baptist when
"Preacher Hurd" visited her
community from Williams
creek.
One of her favorite past
times now is visiting with her
neighbor and good friend,
Mrs. Clara Barry, herself an
octogenarian. In observance
of her birthday another
friend, Miss Grace Elmore of
Medford spent a few days as
her guest.
