Nellie NewbilL, 95, Honored al Annual Birthday Party Nellie Newbill, at the age of 95 years young, can tell very interesting tales of events in this Snake River Valley, Nellie Robertson was born in Lucerne, Missouri in January, 1882, to a father who had the true pioneer spirit, that of coming West. This opportunity was opened for him when an enterprising gentleman offered to bring ten families West to home stead land. When these homesteads were proved, he would purchase them from the homesteaders. Thus the Robertson family, Nellie, a brother Dick, and her parents, loaded their personal possessions, a plow, rake, shovel, axe, hoe and grubbing tools into the emigrant car. The other nine families did the same. This train would carry them as far as Kelton, Utah, which was as far as they could travel in April 1883. Covered wagons met them at the train stop and brought them north to settle on their homestead between what is now Boise and Meridian. Another sister joined the family in July. Nellie recalls watching the railroad being built between Boise and Nampa and play ing on the rails before any train traveled those rails. She saw the first store built in what was to be the town of Nampa. After five years, the homestead was sold and the family moved to Jordan Valley, where her father worked on a horse ranch. Later in 1888, they moved to Owyhee River country. The farm they cleared of brush and put into condition for farming, is along the river south and west of Owyhee Junction. There were very few families in the Owyhee Community in those early days. She recalls the Brad leys, Rigships. Pinkstons and Millicans. A one room school house was built along the river where Nellie spent her grade school years. The family’s first home was a log cabin. Nellie tells of her greatest fears, the Indians, who would come to beg “white man’s biscuits.” She and sister, Minnie»' would hold to each other in their bed at night, afraid to breathe for fear the Indians would return and scalp them. A handsome young man by the name of Frank Newbill, came to this Owyhee Com munity from Old Fort Harney. A romance sprang up which ended in marriage for Nellie and Frank in July 1900. Their first year of marriage was spent managing the Poison Creek Freighter’s Station. It was here the men and horses would spend the night before pulling the steep grade over the pass into Succor Creek, on their way from Silver City to Jordan Valley. Nellie and Frank were blessed with two children, a son. Charles, and a daughter, Thelma. The flu epidemic of 1918 took Thelma's life, as it did so many others that spring. Frank passed away in 1946, leaving Nellie a widow. She moved to her son’s farm in Newell Heights where she resided for several years, before moving to her home on Fourth Street in Nyssa. Her warm friendship, hos pitality. generosity, and keen interest in people has re warded her with a host of friends and Rebekah Lodge sisters. She is known to many as Granny, especially her two grandchidren, eight great-grandchildren, and three great-great-grandchil dren. She is Aunt Nellie to her many nieces and ne phews and their families. Even though the last two years finds her living in the Nyssa Nursing Home, she has not lost the love of visiting with al) who drop in to see her. She has many hobbies to occupy her time such at TV, writing letters, and playing Bingo every Thursday morning.
