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.
