OBITIUARY

Obituary (published in a paper in about 1882)

"Never having noticed anything relative to the death of "Old Mrs. Whiteaker" in the papers, I thought it due to herself and her friends that something of her domestic history should be given publicity, while yet some of her old pioneer associates still survive her, and some of whom regarded her with that high esteem which respected worth always merits. This thought was suggested by my wife, who in years past has been the recipient of Mrs. Whiteaker's unbounded hospitality, and who frequently recalls to mind one incident in early life, when that hospitality was most generously extended, and most thankfully accepted. The remembrance of those pioneer days can never be obliterated from the memory, either by time or circumstances. Let the pioneer retrospect the past; call to mind his early associates, and attempt to number his survivors. He will find but few living of the many with whom he was familiar in those early days, and with whom he felt a degree of intimacy amounting almost to that of consanguinity.

In 1852, now about thirty years ago, my wife and self, with our two little ones, were coming from Yamhill, when we were caught in a very heavy rain storm. We were in an open wagon and pretty well drenched when we stopped at Mr. Whiteaker's house. Driving up to the fence, we were met by Mr. Whiteaker, who in loud tones exclaimed: "Hello! What the devil are you doing here? Get out of the wagon and come in the house; you are as wet as the devil." Well, we did as requested, and soon a blazing fire restored warmth to our chilled frames. Mrs. Whiteaker took my wife in charge, and she was quickly clothed in habiliments more congenial to the female sex than a water-saturated piece of calico. And now, after the lapse of thirty years, the kindly feelings manifested upon that occasion by Mr. and Mrs. Whiteaker are remembered by us with the most lively emotions of respect and regard; and more, not only the kindness and hospitality manifested upon that occasion entitled them to our highest regard, but during many years thereafter we received many manifestations of their kindly disposition towards us, that makes the remembrance thereof pleasing reminiscences of the past. But today where are they? Gone to that mysterious realm from which there is not return, and to which we are all hastening.

Mr. Whiteaker was a man of very jovial and merry disposition. Upon one occasion ex-Gov. Whiteaker called upon him and made inquires to ...whether or not there was any relationship between them. Mr. Whiteaker remarked: "I do not claim kin with every scalawag that comes along, but as you are a pretty good looking man, and appear to have some sense, if you can show that we are kin, I'll acknowledge the corn." This was many years ago, and it occurs to my mind as one of the many incidents that go to show the natural tendencies of his disposition, for upon many occasions have his sallies of wit caused much merriment. For his associates: yet, withal, he was a man of strict integrity, of unbounded hospitality, and his rule was to do as he would be done by. How often do the hearts of the old settlers, when calling to mind the struggles and toils incident to pioneer life, bound with a fresh impulse at the remembrances of the social equality, the generous dispositions and disinterested sympathy which characterized them in the intercourse with each other. Almost isolated from civilized life, bound together in a common destiny, each felt the other a warmer friendship that is much of the characteristic of society of the present day. The onward march of time is fast removing from the scenes of active life the "Old Pioneers." Soon the last one will have obeyed the dreaded summons, and the recollection of their hardy toil and struggles in the advancement of civilization will be but a matter of history.

In the death of Mrs. Whiteaker the ranks of the pioneers number one less of that noble band of women who braved the dangers of the wilderness with a heroic devotion to life's duties, worthy a remembrance in the hearts of all who survive her. There is naught in the remembrance of her domestic life but what should bring consolation to all her surviving friends and relatives.

Mrs. Whiteaker was born in Washington County, Virginia, in 1808. Her maiden name was Mary B. Hayter, she married to Benjamin Whiteaker in1823. They went to Illinois in 1836, where they resided about eleven years. They then came to the conclusion that they would cross the plains to Oregon. In 1848 they bade adieu to friends and started on the perilous trip with sanguine hopes, that with patience and perseverance they would reach the goal of their desires and build upon them up a happy home, where peace, plenty and contentment might bless them through life's pilgrimage. In October,1848, they settled in Polk County where they made a continued residence up to the time of their death, known and respected by all their neighbors as kind , genial, and hospitable in all life's associations.

On the 1st day of December, 1882, Mrs. Whiteaker yielded up her spirit, to God who gave it, serenely and calmly, with the precious hope of ascending. ... She leaves seven children, to whom she leaves the priceless legacy of an honored name, and whose memory will be long cherished by all who knew her, for to have known her was to have formed a deep-seated friendship, and her friendship was indeed a boon, as was indicated by the warmth of her heart and a generosity that was without limit. She is gone and we are left to linger for yet a brief hour before we join the vanished numbers of the pioneers that were."

This writeup from the History of Oregon.

"In 1879 David and Lucy retired to Polk County, Oregon and resided in Independence for five years, and then came to the donation claim on which they have since resided and they are living in the home he built forty years ago.  They are members of the Methodist Church.  Mr. Whitaker does not pay much attention to politics, but he always voted with the Democrats.  Mr. Whitaker has almost reached three score and ten mark; but he still retains his faculties, and has yet much strength and endurance.  While he does not need to work he keeps up his habits of industry, and still retains the 320 acres he took up as his donation claim.  In addition, he has stores and other property in Independence." 

NEWSPAPERS

Fatal Accident

Morning Oregonian (Portland, OR); 15 October 1902

Serious Runaway Accident
INDEPENDENCE, Oct. 14. (Special.) David Whiteaker, who. was Injured in a runaway accident here, yesterday, has not regained consciousness, and his death Is momentarily expected. Mrs. Whiteaker is much worse injured than at first expected, and she Is now unable to leave her bed.


The Plaindealer (Roseburg, OR) 16 October 1902

Mr. and Mrs. David Whiteaker, aged residents of Independence, were badly injured in a runaway Monday. Mr. Whiteaker, who is in feeble health, received a deep gash in the back of his head and a bad wound on the forehead.

OBITUARY

Independence Enterprise & West Side; 23 October 1902

Died at his residence in this city, on Wednesday, Oct. 22, 1902, David Jesse Whiteaker, aged 77 years, 11 months and 26 days. The circumstances leading to the death of "Uncle Davey" are too fresh in memory to be rehearsed at this time. Suffice it to say that he scarcely regained consciousness from the runaway accident of last week.

Mr Whiteaker was an honored pioneer of '48 and a veteran of the Oregon Indian wars. He was a native of Virginia. In '36 he, with his parents, removed to Illinois, they being pioneers to that state. His trip across the plains to Oregon is similar to those of all that heroic band, which braved the hardships and reclaimed Oregon to the Union.

Funeral services were held today at 11 a.m. at the M.E. church, Rev G.H. Osborne officiating. Interment took place at the family burying ground on the B.F. Whiteaker farm, north of Monmouth.

HISTORICAL RESOURCES

From the History of Oregon: Benjamin was sixth of his father's eight children and was ten years old when they crossed the plains to Oregon.  His duty on the journey was to drive the milch cows on horseback, and he performed his task to the satisfaction of all parties.  After the arrival and settlement on the donation claim he remained at home until he was twenty-one and then went with his brothers to eastern Washington to engage in the stock business, and they took with them 225 head of cattle; because of the severity of the winter they lost nearly all of their stock.  About this time the war broke out, mining began in Idaho, and prices advanced. This naturally benefited them and in time they became wealthy.  Benjamin then went to Polk County and purchased a half section of land off the John Fudge donation claim.  After his marriage the couple resided in Washington for a year and then returned to Oregon and lived on land left him by his mother. He purchased more land by his mothers to total 800 acres.

DISCREPANCY - Monmouth Herald obituary gives birth year of 1835, while death certificate and marker give 1838.

NOTE - His second wife, Adelaide, and two of his children, Glendon Whiteaker and Nellie (Whiteaker) Kantner, are buried at Salem Pioneer Cemetery in Salem, Oregon.

OBITUARY:
The Herald made mention, last week, of the serious illness of B.F. Whiteaker, who was stricken with paralysis while transacting business at Independence. Mr. Whiteaker was taken home and under the care of a physician seemed to rally, but taking a relapse died on Saturday morning, August 24, 1912, and was buried on Monday.

He was born in Illinois, May 25, 1835, and came with his parents to Oregon in 1848. They located in Polk county and the Whiteaker homestead marks their enterprise. He was twice married, his first wife being Narcissa Hamar, and to this union were born W.H. Whiteaker, of Portland; A.J. Whiteaker, of Raymond, Wash.; Mrs. W.O. Cook of Eugene, and Mrs. E. Roe of Enterprise.

After the death of his first wife he married Miss Adelaide Fetzer, to whom were born Mrs. Etta [Nettie] Kantner of Seattle and Frank and Glenn Whiteaker of Cochrane, Ore. Deceased was a man of warm and generous impulses. His friends were numbered by his acquaintance, and he was a fine type of the pioneer. His home was always open and his hand ready to help the suffering and needy. He gave liberally to worthy public enterprises and at the time of his death was engaged with others in drilling an oil well on his extensive farm.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION

JOHN W. McGHEE, Jr. -- A son of Walla Walla county, and one whose career has been such as to reflect credit upon the valley in which he was born, the subject of this brief biographical review is especially deserving of representation in a work of this character. His parents, John W. and Rachel (Whiteaker) McGhee, were old pioneers of the valley, residing on the Coppei three miles south of Waitsburg, and on the parental farm our subject was born, the date being February 11, 1867.

He acquired his education in the local public schools, in Waitsburg Academy, in Whitman College and in the Empire Business College of Walla Walla. Upon retiring from the last named institution he entered the office of the Fidelity Abstract Company, by which he was engaged for a short time, after which he entered the employ of the Washington Loan and Trust Company, of whose bookkeeping he had charge for about three years thereafter. He resigned in 1892 to accept a position as deputy county treasurer, under H. H. Hungate.

In the Democratic convention of 1894 Mr. McGhee was one of the candidates for nomination for the office of county treasurer, and he proved to be the choice of his party, but was defeated in the Republican landslide which followed, his opponent, however, receiving a majority of only ninety-seven votes. The ensuing year he was appointed receiver of the Walla Walla Savings bank, and he continued to discharge his duties as such until the affairs of the bank were settled. In the campaign of 1898 he was again the nominee of his party for the county treasurership, and this time his candidacy was successful.

The Republicans were almost universally victorious in that election, but the fact that Mr. McGhee ran two hundred votes ahead of his ticket speaks volumes for the esteem and confidence in which he is held among the people of his native valley. He has given his entire energies to the faithful discharge of the duties of his office ever since the county's books were first placed in his hands, proving true to this, as he had to every other trust reposed in him by the people.

Mr. McGhee was also treasurer of the city of Walla Walla from 1896 to 1898. Our subject is a prominent Odd Fellow, his membership being in Washington Lodge, No. 19, of which he is recording secretary, and in Walla Walla Encampment, No. 3. He also belongs to the Royal Arcanum.

MEMORIES FROM HER GRANDDAUGHTER

From Find A Grave

Excerpts from June Ogden Myers Pearson:

Bakersfield, Where I Grew Up

I was born at home in Bakersfield, Kern County on October 8, 1914. "Auntie Jones" (no relationship) had made a small apartment out of the back of her home, the 2nd or 3rd house south of 8th street on the west side of N Street. Mother and father rented it from her and that was home!

Florence Tilden was the eldest of three girls born to Grace Odgen Tilden and Frank Bert Tilden. Grandmother Grace was very prim and proper; Frank was a contractor -- a very down to earth man who loved people and frequently had his men friends over for cards. Grampa was a wealthy man -- he had the only cement mixer in Los Angeles when there were no sidewalks! On one occasion, at least, he chartered the Catalina Ferry to take his three daughters and their friends to Catalina for the weekend! Because my grandparents came from such different backgrounds they separated when Florence was a senior in High School. They never divorced, but it was quite scandalous for married people to live apart; as a consequence, Mildred and Dorothy had nothing more to do with their Father. Because Florence was the eldest, she understood their differences and unhappiness and always made her Father welcome in our home. What a break for me -- I loved that man! He came to Bakersfield often in his touring car and we had memorable picnics in the foothills -- Arvin, Calente, Bodfish, Kernville, Walker's Basin, Glenville, Woody, Jack Ranch. He taught me about nature, about people and about enjoying life -- the world was a wonderful place to be! One of his best gems that I practiced all my life was: "Don't eat the apple in the barrel that is beginning to spoil; choose the very best apple in the barrel. If you don't, you will go through life with rotten things when you could have the very best!"

Grandpa Tilden contracted to build one of the first big buildings in downtown Los Angeles, but a steel strike in the east prevented him from finishing the project on time. He lost everything! Everything except his love of life. He was a wonderful man in my eyes!.

"Auntie Jones", in whose home I was born, was my Bakersfield grandmother. When I was in High School she became senile and had to live in a rest home. I went to see her almost every day and read children's books and poetry which made her laugh. One day she asked me to bring ice cream on my next visit, but the next day was rainy and I didn't go; the second day she was dead. I was so sad, but I had learned, the hard way, never put off to tomorrow what you can do today -- or do as much today as you can possibly crowd in -- especially if what you need to do is for someone else.

Friendly Bakersfield allowed me to grow up naturally. "Auntie Jones" taught me to do what needed to be done NOW. Mother allowed me freedom and taught me compassion for others. Father taught me the basics of finance and instilled a strong sense of right and wrong. John gave me Love. Grandfather Tilden taught me to take the best the world had to offer -- to set my goals high and then Just Do It! My total environment let me be in control of myself and create my future!!

HON. JAMES L. COLLINS

The marriage of Judge Collins occurred in Polk county in 1861, Miss Mary Whiteaker becoming his wife. She was born in De Kalb county, Ill., in 1846, the daughter of Benjamin Whiteaker, who was one of the pioneers of Polk county in 1847, and a relative of John Whiteaker, the first governor of Oregon. Mrs. Collins died in 1864, leaving one daughter, Nellie, who is a graduate of La Creole Academy, the state normal school at Monmouth, and the New York state normal college at Oswego, N. Y. She is now critic in the state normal school at Madison, S. D., which position she has occupied for the past ten years.

BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
From Find A Grave

Undated newspaper article

An invitation wedding followed by a surprise wedding were pleasing features at the home of Mrs. Grace Tilden, 1119 East Twenty-fifth street, Tuesday evening. the invitations were for the marriage of her daughter, Miss Florence M. Tilden to Rudolph F. Myers of Los Angeles. the Rev. Mr. Gilbert performed the ceremony, the bride being given away by her grandfather, Mr. Ogden. the young couple were attended by Miss Mildred E. Tilden, a sister of the bride and Horace J. Barton. Miss Bess Gilbreath was usher, Miss Alta Gilbreath played the wedding march, and Miss Dorothy Barton sang "Oh Promise Me."

The surprise came after the ceremony, when the clergyman requested the newly married couple to exchange places with the best man and the bridesmaid, and Miss Mildred Tilden became Mrs. Horace J. Barton. The second wedding was a complete surprise to most of those present, not even Mr. and Mrs. Myers knowing what was to occur. The room were appropriately decorated and light refreshments were served.

Excerpts from June Ogden Myers Pearson:

Bakersfield, Where I Grew Up

I was born at home in Bakersfield, Kern County on October 8, 1914. "Auntie Jones" (no relationship) had made a small apartment out of the back of her home, the 2nd or 3rd house south of 8th street on the west side of N Street. Mother and father rented it from her and that was home!

Florence Tilden was the eldest of three girls born to Grace Odgen Tilden and Frank Bert Tilden. Grandmother Grace was very prim and proper; Frank was a contractor -- a very down to earth man who loved people and frequently had his men friends over for cards. Grampa was a wealthy man -- he had the only cement mixer in Los Angeles when there were no sidewalks! On one occasion, at least, he chartered the Catalina Ferry to take his three daughters and their friends to Catalina for the weekend! Because my grandparents came from such different backgrounds they separated when Florence was a senior in High School. They never divorced, but it was quite scandalous for married people to live apart; as a consequence, Mildred and Dorothy had nothing more to do with their Father. Because Florence was the eldest, she understood their differences and unhappiness and always made her Father welcome in our home. What a break for me -- I loved that man! He came to Bakersfield often in his touring car and we had memorable picnics in the foothills -- Arvin, Calente, Bodfish, Kernville, Walker's Basin, Glenville, Woody, Jack Ranch. He taught me about nature, about people and about enjoying life -- the world was a wonderful place to be! One of his best gems that I practiced all my life was: "Don't eat the apple in the barrel that is beginning to spoil; choose the very best apple in the barrel. If you don't, you will go through life with rotten things when you could have the very best!"

Grandpa Tilden contracted to build one of the first big buildings in downtown Los Angeles, but a steel strike in the east prevented him from finishing the project on time. He lost everything! Everything except his love of life. He was a wonderful man in my eyes!.

"Auntie Jones", in whose home I was born, was my Bakersfield grandmother. When I was in High School she became senile and had to live in a rest home. I went to see her almost every day and read children's books and poetry which made her laugh. One day she asked me to bring ice cream on my next visit, but the next day was rainy and I didn't go; the second day she was dead. I was so sad, but I had learned, the hard way, never put off to tomorrow what you can do today -- or do as much today as you can possibly crowd in -- especially if what you need to do is for someone else.

Friendly Bakersfield allowed me to grow up naturally. "Auntie Jones" taught me to do what needed to be done NOW. Mother allowed me freedom and taught me compassion for others. Father taught me the basics of finance and instilled a strong sense of right and wrong. John gave me Love. Grandfather Tilden taught me to take the best the world had to offer -- to set my goals high and then Just Do It! My total environment let me be in control of myself and create my future!!
