To him is delegated the job of keeping the saws of the loggers sharp and in working order and the kind of saws with which he deals has changed over the years the same as everything else. Mr. Keasey began working as a saw filer many years ago in the logging camps around Ver nonia when it was the old cross cut saws that must be kept sharp In 1946, when he ended his em ployment with Sam Wilson, he began custom saw filing, caring for the saws of all who solicited his services. He established his first shop at Riverview and just last September moved to the lo cation in the city. In 1950, he began work on pow er saws that were beginning to be the thing to use. Now, the repair and servicing of these takes most of his time and he rlso is sales agent for the Home- lite saws and accessories.

WJ once he is also a home own?r and farmer, also sells Fair banks-Morse power lawn mow- < rs, both the kind one walks be hind and the kind which can be lidden. The latter draws many wishful glances from the men who would like a bit easier way of getting the task done. Mr. Keasey comes close to be ing a horn? town product. His paternal grandfather, Eden Kea sey, homesteaded on Rock Creek in 1889. His maternal grand father, Isaac Detrick, homestead- id earlier, about 1882, at Pitts burg. His parents, Carrol) Keasey and Bertha Detrick, began their friendship and courtship here ift those early days of the valley, When times got bad here and work was scarce. Mr. Keasey went to Missouri to work and later, Miss Detrick joined him there and they were mariied. It was there that Ted was born, but the lure of the Nehalem valley didn’t relax its puli and when he was only a year old. they re turned here to live for a number of years at Pittsburg and then to move to the homestead on Rock Creek. When Ted was small, his par ents «jnoved into Vernonia and operated a general merchandise store located at the east end nf the Rock Creek bridge at the site between the telephone office and the creek where an apartment house was destroyed by fire sev . eral years ago. They operated it from 1907 to 1913. Then they moved to Oakgrove, south of Portland, and later to Corvallis where Ted had the first three years of high school. However, they returned to the Rock Creek farm again in time for him to have his senior year at Ver nonia high school where he graduated with the class of 1920. This was the fourth class gradu ated from Vernonia high school and ¿iad four members. Ted’s wife, the former Hilda Tucker, is a home town product, her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thom as Tucker, homesteaded on Rock Creek about two miles from Ver nonia and it was there that she was born and gr w up. With this background. Mr. and Mrs. Keasey could not help but have deep roots here and it was natural that when they were mar. ,’ied they should settl ■ here on the homestead of his grandfather on Rock Creek. There is where they still live and whore they have raised their fine family, of three sons and four daughters. Mr. Keasey has been active in community affairs, especially v, ith relation to the schools. He served on the board of directors for district No. 27 on Rock Creek, known as the Rock Creek school, for 13 years. When that district was consolidated with Vernonia he soon was placed on the board of directors for district 47 where he is now serving his nineteenth year. That he is a firm believr in education is evidenced not only his support for the local system and his continual efforts to better it, but also in the fact that all seven of his children have attended Oregonx State college where five have graduated and • ne two youngest girls are now enrolled. Mr. Keasey also maintains a firm faith in the future of Ver nonia. He foresees changes, of course, but is confident that the tiansition can be weathered and that Vernonia can continue to grow and become a worthwhile community of the future.
