business that is indeed es
sential to a community such as
Vernonia that depends so largely
cn logging for its existence, is
the #ne operated by Ted Keasey
at the corner of Bridge and Stale
streets under the name Ted’s Saw
Shop. 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. And,,

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.
