In hii seventieth year. Rev. Troy
Shelley, of the Udell district of this
county, has just resigned from a ser

For 44 years Rev. Shelley has preachd
the Word of God as minister without
a denomination and without a salary.
For 40 years he has been a resident of
tre Hood River valley, having come to
the district wnen mere were on ,""
lies of homesteaders in the now thickly
settled aDole ditsrict. The life of the
venerable pastor has become a f'
the lives of all of the early residents
of the East Side orchard district.
Their children have been umteo. m

encouragement have been their solace.
And after death. Rev. Shelley has
preached the funerals of the old pio-
kavd onnp nn and stood DC-
side their graves with words of com
fort for their children.
The story of his life is an interesting
one. He was born in Iowa. January 6,
1845. In 1848 he crossed the plains
with his parents by ox team and prairie

community now known as Udell began
erecting a school house. I began
preaching under a large nr inc ui

air pews. This was in the summer of
1883 After the schoolhouse was fin
ished I began holding services there
every Sunday, year in and year out,
as well as conducting Sunay school ser
vices. 1 was minister, choir leader,
Sunday school superintendent and often
janitor. Our first revival meeting was
held in the winter of 1886 and 87 in
conjunction with V. H. Balch, after

with denominational leaders, wno nave

work Hut, on the other hand, it has
given me great power with the people.
I saw early in my life the futility of
attempting to establish separate de
nominational churches in sparsely set

in a year's time he turned tne cnurcn

credit, showing that he careu more ior
souls than for denomination.1
"For 12 years I continued this work
according to my belief. We had some
glorious revivals and made many con

"In 1901 we built a Union church.
Every citizen in the neighborhood,
whether a member of a church or not,

The pulpit in the Union church at
Odell has a peculiar history. In 1887
.7 . i : ,i
1. H. Balcn was instrumental in ine
building of a Congregational church in
h rurrett district on the west side
of the Hood river. Dr. Barrett, one of
the oldest pioneers of the district, was
a member 01 ine congrtgHuun. ana.
Barrett's father, Mr. Hodge, in his
eighty-seventh year built the pulpit
with his own nanas. ine uuuuiug
later sold to the Desciples, ana is now
the Valley Christian church building.
"When the church was sold." says
Kev. Shelley, "the pulpit was reserved
by Dr. and Mrs. Barrett. After the
death of the former, in the winter of
1889-90, Mrs. Barrett presented it to
me, on account of the warm friendship
that had existed between me and Dr.
Barrttt, and btcausa of tht close asso
ciations of Mr. Balch and myself. For
a time I had a pulpit without church. .
but when the Udell union cun ---built
it was installed there, and has ,
been in the church ever since. ,

what about the cost of the present

Tkot ihs Hiutrirt. will be fullv and
thickly settled up clear into the foot

Perhaps he meant for them to camp

A rural high school (thanks to our
friend for telling us what it was) is a
