MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON THURSDAY. DECEMBER 20. 1962 A 5 Retired Minister Maintains Oregon Hoover Memorial " BY DOUGLAS GRIPP United Preu International Newberg, Ore. - lUPH - The -; white, wooden frame house on South Rive street in this small northwest Oregon community . is much the same as when an orphan named Herbert Hoov . er lived in it 77 years ago. The big double bed that " young Hoover slept in is here, along with chest of drawers, . books, mementoes and other furnishings. But today the house is a '- noted landmark-a memorial to the former President. Hoover was born in the Iowa farm town of West ' ' Branch 88 years ago, When he was six, his father died. His mother died three years later. ' When he was 11, Hoover came here to live with an uncle, the late Dr. Henry Minthorn, and the Minthorn family. A Quaker, he attended the Friends' Pacific academy here headed by Minthorn, and now Known as George Fox college. The Mlnthorns moved to 1 nearby Salem, the Oregon cap ! ital, in 1888 and Hoover, then 14, went with them. Minthorn became mantfger of the old " Oregon Land company and Hoover interrupted his educa- tion to serve as the firm's office boy. Then Hoover decided to en . roll at a new school in Palo ' Alto, Calif., Stanford univer-- sity, to become a mining - engineer. To help meet the ' entrance requirements, he went to night school in Salem. He left in June, 1891, for Stanford-and what was to be- come his national destiny. - The two-story house was eventually acquired by the i Herbert Hoover Foundation of Oregon, headed by an old r school-mate Dr. Burt Brown 1 Barker, noted Oregon histor ian and educator, who lives .' in Portland. The Foundation restored . the house seven years ago. The dining room table is . set as if the Minthorns and ', their nephew were about to sit down to a Sunday dinner. ". A new addition is a favorite chair of Mrs. Hoover's when she and her husband were still in the White House. Hoover's last visit here whs t for the dedication, on Aug. 10, 1955, his birthday. The house is maintained by a retired minister, Arthur R. Hodge, and his wife, who live next door.
