Old Cemetery Lies Near Eagle Point Eagle Point - What is Jieved to be the oldest ccm- etery in the Eagle r-oinl area lies on a hill near the north end of the city. As many as 20 persons may be buried there, although to day only around eight or ten raves are marked by stones. The cemetery, part of a farm, hasn't been used for many years. The last burial was made there 71 years ago. It was originally started in 1B57 when a man named Woodson Tucker was acci dentally killed by John Mat thews, then owner of the homestead. Matthews was hunting deer on Butte point, located just off the Butte Falls high way, and mistook Tucker for a deer. He brought him back to his homestead and buried him. Still Visible Part of the tombstone on Tucker's grave can still be seen, and enough dirt was scraped off recently so that the identification could be read. Around Ihe year 1 ODO an epidemic of typhoid fever took the lives of Matthews and several others of his fam ily, including William Wool ley, the father, and Michael Woolley, the grandfather of Mrs. Susie Stowell, who now lives on Agate rd. Two brothers, the mother and step grandfather of Mrs. Stowell also are buried there. The step grandfather's name was H. G. Shock, and Happy Camp Elementary School Graduates 29 Happy Camp - The Happy Camp Union Elementary school graduated 29 eighth grade students in an outdoor program at the school June 7. Victor Dusenberry, superin tendent of Willamette Ply wood, Happy Camp, was the main speaker. Dusenberry stressed that the advantages in education are both the college and the vocational fields. He pointed out to the class that those who are unem ployed are those who do not have a skill or education and that last year when unem ployment was at Its peak, placement agencies were cry ing for machinists and other technicians. With the future of space travel, Dusenberry said, wide fields of study are there for the taking to those Interested enough to take.

Therefore, their headstones were furn ished by the U.S. govern ment. Everyone buried in the cemetery is related in one way or another. Since the last burial 71 years ago, the farm has ex changed hands several limes. Polk Matthews willed it to two brothers named Smith. One of Polk Matthews' broth ers look the matter to court and was granted part of the homestead - a section includ ing the cemetery. This piece of land was eventually handed down to Ernie Diiluick, who also is re lated to the original family. He then sold It in about 1047 to a Mr. and Mrs. Benyman. Present Owner Mrs. Bcrryman, now Mrs. Maxinc Bcrryman Hansen, is the present owner. The original John Mat thews is believed to have been the first man to settle or homestead in the Eagle Point area. There were other cemeteries In the Browns boro and surrounding areas but not in Eagle Point. During recent years, some of the tombstones have been damaged by vandals, and al present the county district at torney's office has been ask ed to investigate a dispute over a broken fence around the cemetery. tary school board.

The 30 students selected to receive the honor to attend the scholarship dinner had to have good citizenship records as well as honor roll grades This was the first time that a banquet had been held to honor students here for scho lastic achievement. Gilbert A Mack, principal of the Gold Hill school said it is planned that Hanby students will be honored at such an affair each year hereafter if they have earned both academic achieve ment and good citizenship records. Hanby Elementary school is the first school in District 6 to have introduced a program to recognize pupils in fifth through eighth grades for scholastic achievement. Mack said he and faculty members at Hanby were encouraged by Charles A. Meyer, super intendent of District 6, with the idea. Both Mack and Meyer told parents and students that the pupil who has earned a rec ord of academic achievement and good citizenship is just as deserving of recognition as the athlete. In the past, great emphasis they said has been put on sports, in the future it is intended that equal at tention will be focused on the scholar for academic achieve ment. It was pointed out that a background of individual aca demic achievement and good citizenship is a fine record for eighth graders to take to Crater High school. Added to the awards sys tem at Hanby this year were blue ribobns for good citizen ship and white ribbons for the scholar who had both aca demic and good citizenship. Recipients of these were rec ognized during an awards as sembly. Mack praised students who had earned the new awards. He stressed that a person who has good citizenship will get further in this world than someone who does not. The student who received citizen ship awards he said had ap plied themselves in the class room, cooperated with class Sams Valley School Principal Resigns Central Point - Robert A. Jobe Jr., principal of Sams Valley school for the past two years, has resigned. He will take a post in the Portland area. Jobe's resignation was ac cepted by the board of school district No. 6 Tuesday. No re placement has yet been ap pointed. Bids on construction of the Crater High stadium and also on lights for the stadium will be opened at a special meet ing June 21. At a special meet Tablets By R. E. Mail Tribune Table Table Rock Some 55 members of the Jackson Coun ty Unit of the Oregon Retired Teachers association at tended the annual meeting held Monday, June 11, in the big Oaks al the J. S. Richardson home. The following were elected to manage the organization for the next current year. President, Dclie Whiscnant; secretary, lna Smith; treasurer, Ruth Treichlcr. Only a few retired school masters were present, and amid the chatter they were scarcely seen or heard, except H. P. Jewett who had brought along a loud speaker. The members were divided into two sides called North and South, and went through a guessing process with Jewctt. The ques tions he asked pertained to education, and were what a good teacher might ask her pupils, but we thought were rather tricky. One of them, asked us by Debbie, our young niece from Portland, was what disciple bap tised Christ, and when we answered John, she said John was not a disciple. In talking with several of those present we learned that practically all retired teachers in our county have social security, and believe it to be one of the best plans ever devised for the welfare of the common people, and the economical setup of the country. We have heard it said that Ihe hand that rocks the cradle, rules the world, but after the rocking stage is over a good teacher takes over, and teaches the future citizen physically, mentally and morally how to fit them selves to be good citizens and rulers, if the occasion should arrive. At first the twig may be bent, but the good teacher trains and trims it so that it will grow tall and straight. We doff our hat to all good teachers past and present. May the good Lord bless and keep them. Grange Visitor Victor Croxton, lecturer of the Oregon State Grange was a visitor here Wednesday. Croxton is busy prepar ing a program for Monday night June 18. in the gym of the Grants Pass high school. This program promises lo be something out of the ordinary, with some 10U Grange members taking part. Croxton had recently at tended the PI'&L hearing in Medford. and fears that if we don't wake up and show more interest than at present we may find this area sewed up so it would be impossible to develop a public power district or even put in small power plant on a creek for your own use. This may not be as bad as it sounds if they will pass it around. We could raise enough potatoes lo supply the county. Now if some commission could give us the sole right to supply the county with potatoes, we could really "go to town" with this. You would have to buy my spuds at my price, or else.

Ringe Memorial Swim Center in Yreka Opens After Dedication Rites By DORIS ROBINSON Yreka-The Ringe Memorial Swim Center was dedicated and opened to the public at ceremonies June 2. A large plaque in front of the pool was unveiled by State Sen. Randolph Collier and Yreka City Councilman Harry Fried man. Friedman was master of ceremonies and introduced Mayor Charles Cooley, who told of the memorial by Mr. and Mrs. Henry Ringe to the community and welcomed the small fry who were waiting anxiously to enter and swim. Ray Kelley told how the memorial came about. It was through his suggestion to Mrs Ringe that her bequest be used as a memorial to her late husband and herself in the form of a living memorial or swim center for the commu nity. Ab Evans, brother of Mrs, Ringe was present and was introduced. Senator Collier was the Community Postponed Pending Audit Phoenix - The board of di rectors of the Phoenix Com munity club last night decid ed to postpone any money making projects until the books have been audited. The work should be com pleted in approximately 10 days, it was reported at last night's directors' meeting. The membership drive has been held up pending transfer of the clubhouse back to the directors from the city. The directors hope to have a spe cial meeting with the city council to discuss this after the books are audited. It was suggested by Direc tor Edwin Brown that if the city council decides not lo turn the Community club back to the directors the Phoe nix Lions club be given all Community Club funds with the stipulation they use them to help develop a community park. Most logical site would be along Bear Creek, Brown said. This would be part of a con tinuous park area stretching along the creek, he explained. A Irail for cycling and horse back riding along the creek is sorely needed since too many cyclists are pedalling along the highway. NO ONE HURT-Lcland Townscnd of Kcrby was driving this log truck and trailer down the Caves highway last Friday and was approcahing its Intersection with highway 199. in Cave Junction when the brakes failed. The driver swerved across the Cave highway to avoid hitting a car in front of him and onto a vacant lot behind the Oregon Caves infor mation booth. At this point Townscnd jumped safely from Ihe truck, which continued on across highway 199, striking a dirt embankment on the other side and overturning. Miraculously no one was hurt and traffic was not blocked. CUTTER REPELLENT New cream formula is concentrated so lhaf a Utile bit goes a long, long way. Non-greasy, non-sticky.

Ringe was a saddle maker in the early day of Yreka, and lived on third Street where Collier of ten visited as a boy . and watched him stamp out sad dles. The pool is located at the corner of Sherman and Knapp streets and has three sections.
