 "Wanda Elouise Blanding (Demuth) passed away with her family by her side on March 24, 2024. At the venerable age of 99 years, she was ready to join her friends and family that had preceded her. Her mother, Bertha Demuth (Oxrider) gave birth to Wanda on October 6, 1924. Her father, Clarence Demuth, delivered her in the family home in Fairmont, Minnesota when the country doctor wasn’t able to make it fast enough while riding his bike from his prior house call.
    Wanda lived in Fairmont during the Great Depression until she was 18, when she moved to Portland, Oregon after graduating from Fairmont High School, class of 1942. Her parents moved to Oregon to find work in the shipyards in Portland supporting the war effort of World War II. In Fairmont, Wanda worked at the dime store downtown, and in Portland she went to work for the president of Equitable Savings and Loan.
    She was active at First United Methodist Church in Portland, and also in volunteering at the USO during the war years. She was introduced to Bob Blanding by mutual friends at FUMC. After declining his first proposal, Wanda agreed to marry Bob, and they were wed in November 1948 in Portland. After a Thanksgiving honeymoon (they only had enough vacation time for a long holiday weekend) in Victoria British Columbia, Wanda joined Bob in Eugene where he worked for Eugene Fruit Growers. They lived in Eugene for 24 years before moving to Salem, Oregon in 1972. Wanda and Bob were married for 43 years until Bob’s death in 1992.
    Wanda returned to school in the 1970’s and earned an associates degree at Chemeketa Community College, returning to the workforce and spending time working in the A.S.C.C.C. (Associated Students) office at Chemeketa while a student, then at the PIA Western Alliance (Professional Insurance Agents) and the TED Center (Technology, Enterprise & Development - a not for profit supporting entrepreneurship) until her retirement in 1993.
    Wanda was also active volunteering, including being a Life Member of the Oregon Congress of Parents and Teachers for her work with various PTA organizations from the Bethel School District in Eugene to the Salem School District. She regularly volunteered in school libraries in addition to her PTO work, and she and Bob established McKay High School’s first drug/alcohol free all night graduation party for the class of 1986. Wanda and Bob also hosted several exchange students from around the world who were attending the University of Oregon during their time in Eugene.
    Wanda was also a regular volunteer at Trinity United Methodist Church in Eugene, and First United Methodist Church in Salem, putting her love of crafting to good use with floral arrangements and other creative support for the congregations. She served as the CEO of the Blanding household where she did yeoman’s work ensuring the family was in optimal position to attack life’s challenges at the time - and for all time.
    In addition to Bertha, Clarence, and Bob, she is preceded in death by her brother and sister John and Carol, as well as her oldest daughter, Sharman Gerdes.
She is survived by her daughter and son Kim and Robert, son-in-law Michael Gerdes, daughter-in-law Staci, as well as grandchildren Maryn, Mikaelyn, Halleigh, and Ayden and her great-grandchild Finn.
    Her fondest wish is for her neighbors, caregivers, friends and family to enjoy life and each other, to help and support each other and all others, and find ways to make a positive difference in the world.
     Rest in Peace Wanda…” Dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/salem-or/wanda-blanding-11725988

  d. 02 Jun 1906    OLD 179-01
  Father
  "Judge Benjamin F. Bonham Died at His Home in This City This Morning at 3:30--Judge Bonham was born October 8, 1828, near Knoxville, Tenn., but spent his boyhood in Indiana, to which state his parents moved when he was but 12 years of age.  Of the seven children in the family, Judge Bonham was one of the two survivors, and the only one to come to the Pacific coast.  He received his education in the public schools and in the Delaware County Seminary, at Muncie, Ind.  In 1853 he came across the plains, arriving in Oregon in September, and for the first two years was engaged in teaching school on French Prairie and in Salem.  In the meantime he had been studying law diligently, with a view to enter-ing the legal profession; and in  1856 he was admitted to the bar.  The unsettled condition of the country at that time had need of just such latent resources as were embodied in the promising young attorney, who at once stepped into positions requiring tact and ability.  In the early '50s he held various territorial offices--auditor, librarian and superintendent of schools, in Marion county, and while thus diversely engaged served as a member of the last territorial and the first state legislature.
  Upon retiring from public office he began to devote his entire attention to the practice of law.  In 1870, he was elected a member of the supreme court, at the same time serving as exofficio judge of the circuit court for six years.  From 1874 to 1876 he was chief justice of the Oregon supreme court.  At the close of his term he formed a law partnership with Judge W.M. Ramsey, which continued until 1885.  In 1885 his services for the Democratic party were rewarded by Grover Cleveland with an appointment to the consul-generalship to British India.  For four years he represented the United States at Calcutta, with credit to himself and to the entire satisfaction of both governments.
  His experience in the foreign services, at one of his most important posts, enabled him to gain a complete knowledge of internal law of a much more practical nature than could have been gained in any of the technical institutions of learning.  He returned home in August, 1890, resumed the practice of law, and formed a partner-ship with W.H. Holmes.
  In 1894 he was appointed postmaster of Salem, and held the office for four years.  He again resumed the practice of his profession, and in 1899 entered into a partnership with Carey F. Martin, a graduate of the University of Oregon.
  In 1858, at Salem, Judge Bonham was united in marriage with Mildred A. Baker.  Of the seven children born to Mr. and Mrs. Bonham, only two are now living, Ralph P., a young attorney at law, and Mrs. Winona M. Larkins.
  Judge Bonham was also held in high esteem by the legal fraternity of this city, and for a period of eight years he was president of the Marion County Bar Association.
  Arrangements have been made for the funeral to be held at 3 o'clock tomorrow (Sunday) and Rev. Barr G. Lee will officiate.  The interment will be in Lee Mission cemetery." DCJ Jun 2, 1906 12:1-2

Bonham, of this city.  He was taken ill but a few days since, and his death was sudden and unex-pected.  He was about seventeen years of age, a young man of rare worth, and loved and respected by all who knew him.  He was raised among us, and those who knew him best, best appreci-ated his many virtues.  His funeral will take place from the Episcopal Church at 4 p.m. to-day, the rector, Rev. Jas. T. Chambers, officiating.  Friends of the family are invited to attend.  His bereaved parents have the sympathy of a large circle of friends in this their hour of trial.  Peace to his ashes."  WOS Oct 3, 1879 3:2

Bonham, who died in this city about a year ago, and who was one of the most prominent men in the development of Marion county, having served several successive terms as Salem's postmaster and as consul to India, where Mrs. Bonham accompanied him, and where they resided for about seven years.
  Mrs. Bonham was born August 6, 1840, in Illinois, and with her parents Mr. and Mrs. John Baker, removed to Oregon when but seven years of age.  Her aged father, Mr. John Baker, at whose home she passed away, survives her, although 91 years of age, and in addition, she leaves a son, Raphael Bonham, U.S. inspector of immigration at Astoria, and Mrs. Winona Larkins of this city.
  The immediate cause of Mrs. Bonhams' death was a bronchial affection, although she has been in frail health for several years.  She was an active Christian worker and a member of the Episcopal church of this city.
  The funeral will be held from the home of her father, John Baker, on the Garden road, at 4:30 this afternoon, the services being conducted by Rev. Barr G.

  "Hurled To His Death--Ralph E. Bowerman Killed by a Southern Pacific Train--Near Turner On Sunday Night--Attempted to Cross the Track with Team and Wagon When the Albany Local Struck Him--Ralph E. Bowerman who has for some time resided on the old Ollie Reeves farm about three miles southeast of Turner, was killed at 6:40 o'clock, Sunday evening, by the south-bound Albany local passenger train, at a crossing one and a half miles east of Turner, while attempting to drive across the track in front of the train.
  Mr. Bowerman spent Sunday with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. David Bowerman, on the farm four miles east of this city, and in the evening, after bringing his sister to Salem where she is attending school, he started for his home on the other side of Turner.  He drove a spirited team to a heavy  wagon, which contained a cook stove and a number of other articles intended for use on the place where he was living.  At Wm. Hilleary's farm the wagon road crosses the railroad diagonally, but for some distance from this point the roads are both clear of brush or timber, as they run through open fields.  The railroad is straight and the ground being level, trains usually run at a great speed over this section of track.
  Just how Mr. Bowerman's team came into collision with the train will always remain a mystery.  He wore a heavy duck coat with the large collar tied up about his head, and as the wind was blowing quite briskly from the south it may have been possible that he did not hear the train as it approached from almost behind him.  The whistle, so it is claimed was not sounded for the crossing.  But it is difficult to see how the headlight could have failed to give warning of the approaching danger.  The engineer and fireman, who saw the team and wagon just before the fatal collision took place and after it was too late to stop the train, say that the horses became frightened and unmanageable and plunged, with their driver, in front of the engine into instant death.
  The engine struck the wagon just back of the front wheels.  The box and rear wheels were thrown on the east side of the track while the front wheels with the horses fell on the west side.  Mr. Bowerman was thrown upon the pilot of the engine, where he was found lying on his back, death having evidently come to him instantly.
  The train was brought to a stop as soon as possible and with lanterns the trainmen and passenger began to look for the man and team.  The dead horses were readily found by the side of the track, near the road.  Fragments of the wagon could be found scattered along the track.  The shattered box lay against the fence beside which was found a dog, killed in the collision.  It was some time before the body could be located.  Men searched along each side of the track for some distance without success, and it was decided to search under the cars thinking that possibly the body might have caught in the rigging beneath a car.  The search resulted in finding the body in the position as related above the spring seat belonging to the wagon, lying across it.  When it was discovered that the man was dead the train backed up to Turner and the dead man was removed from the engine to the Southern Pacific depot, where the body remained until Coroner D.F. Lane, who was summoned Sunday evening, arrived yesterday morning.
  The coroner learned what he could of the accident and decided it unnecessary to hold an inquest.  The body was turned over to Undertaker W.T. Rigdon, who brought it to this city.  After a careful examination of the body Mr. Rigdon declared that there was not a scratch or a bruise upon it.  The neck, however, was dislocated at the point of its juncture with the head, and this was evidently the cause of death.
  Deceased was about 27 years of age, a young man of sterling qualities, enjoying the confidence of all his friends and neighbors who was shocked with the news of his sudden taking off.  He leaves, to mourn his untimely demise, a father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. David Bowerman; a sister, Miss Mary Bowerman, attending school in this city, and one brother, Jay Bowerman, an attorney, formerly of this city, but now located at Condon.
  The brother was yesterday notified of the sad accident, and he telephoned last evening from Condon, that he would catch the west-bound train at Arlington at 1:40 this morning reaching Salem at 11 a.m. today.
  The funeral will be held in this city tomorrow (Wednesday) at 10:30 a.m.  Interment in Lee Mission cemetery." DOS Dec 18, 1900 2:1-2

  "Gun Discharged-Brophy Is Dead--Former Warden of Penitentiary Meets Accidental Death at Farm--Coroners of Two Counties Investigate But Do Not Find Inquest Necessary--Victim Had Wide Acquaintance in Oregon--Henry B. Brophy, former warden of the state penitentiary, prominent politician and long time Oregon resident was shot and killed yesterday morning near his home in West Salem, when a shotgun which he was carrying for a chance shot at a duck, was accidently discharged while he was attempting to close a gate in his pasture.
  He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Cassie Brophy, who lived part of the time at the Brophy town home, 374 North Church street, and by one son, John Brophy, who was interested in the farm in Polk county with his father.  Mr. Brophy was 63 years old.  Mr. and Mrs. Brophy, Jr., and the wife were at the farm home at the time of the accident.
  Hold Funeral Wednesday--Friends are invited to attend the funeral which will be held Wednesday at 2 o'clock from the chapel of Webb & Clough.  Rev. F.T. Porter will officiate and burial will be in the Lee Mission cemetery.  Two brothers of the deceased, Nicholas Brophy of Tallant and Jeff Brophy of Medford, will arrive in Salem today for the funeral.  Another brother, Charles Brophy lives in Los Angeles.
  Yesterday morning about 8 o'clock while leading a cow to pasture, Mr. Brophy took a shotgun with him, as has been his early morning custom this season, to shoot ducks and jackrab-bits.  He had crossed a little pond, where he frequently found ducks and had passed through a gate when, it is thought, the accident happened.
  The gate was of heavy iron frame about eighteen feet long and he had hung the halter of the cow on a rail inside the gate and let the cow loose.  Friends surmise that as he turned around to shut the gate that he had temporarily set the gun down.  The gate worked with an iron pulley and was hard to close, and possibly caught and jerked, as the gate was found slightly ajar.  As the gun was taken up, it is thought that the hammers of it caught on the gate and the gun was discharged.
  Death was believed instantaneous.
  It was a double barrel shotgun and one load was fired into the chin of Mr. Brophy, burning and tearing away the face.  The chin and neck were also badly burned and powder marked.  Mr. Brophy was dead when found at 8:15 o'clock yesterday morning by the members of a train crew of the Salem Falls City & Western line, coming from Dallas.
  The coroner of Polk county, R.L. Chapman, A.M. Clough, coroner of Marion county, with about forty neighbors and friends, who quickly gathered at the scene of the accident, came to the conclusion that death had resulted from the accidental discharge of the gun.  The body was removed to the establishment of Webb & Clough in this city.  Mr. Brophy had a wife acquaintance in the state.  From 1895 to 1899 he was warden of the Oregon state penitentiary under Governor Lord.  Altogether he was connected with the penitentiary for about twenty-seven years.  For twelve years he was the superintendent of the capitol building.
  After the end of his term as warden about fifteen years ago, Mr. Brophy went into a partnership with A.N. Gilbert and I.L. Patterson in hop raising near Eola.  Several years ago he sold his interest and bought a twenty-five acre field with nineteen acres of hops, located one mile south of West Salem.
  He was born in California, coming to Oregon when 13 years old.  In 1878 he was married to Miss Catherine Neal of Ashland.  He was a member of the Woodmen of the World and the United Workmen lodges of Salem."  DOS Dec 14, 1925 6:1

"Marion Ellen Bryson, 93, passed away into the loving arms of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on January 1, 2024. She was surrounded by family in her final moments.
Marion was born in Shamokin, Pennsylvania on October 5, 1930 to Mary and John Henninger. She was the oldest of 10 children. From the beginning, Marion was energetic and industrious. As a child, she often made and sold small bags of potato chips to neighbors as a way of funding outings to the movies.
After graduating from Coal Township High School in 1948, Marion spent several years traveling the country with friends and working as a waitress at resorts across Pennsylvania, New York, Florida, and Las Vegas. One of her favorite memories from this time was meeting her favorite singer, Frank Sinatra, while working in Las Vegas. She met Frank Robert Bryson and was married on October 21, 1952. They briefly moved to Spokane, Washington, where they welcomed their son, Jeff, before settling in Salem, Oregon in 1960.
Professionally, Marion worked for Martin Brothers Sign Company as a bookkeeper for 30 years before retiring (for the first time) at the age of 65. Never one to sit idle, she quickly decided retirement was overrated and went back to work doing marketing for National Glass and Salem Auto Body until the age of 89. She thoroughly enjoyed her job, which allowed her to meet many people. She never left a customer visit without first ensuring that everyone in the office had received a cookie or piece of candy.
Marion loved being around people, and was a generous hostess. No one who visited her home ever left hungry - even when she was not home, she would leave snacks out for the landscapers, mailman, and anyone else who happened to stop by. Her grandchildren and great grandchildren often joked that at parties, it was difficult to tell whose birthday it was, because she brought cards and gifts for everyone.
An avid gardener, Marion could often be found working in her yard. She grew an assortment of fruits, vegetables, and roses. She was known for her delicious canned peaches, and recently inspired her four-year-old great grandson to plant his own fruit garden using raspberry and strawberry plants from her yard.
Marion walked closely with the Lord for nearly 60 years. She was committed to attending bible studies, praying and telling others about Jesus. She volunteered in the AWANA program at Salem First Baptist Church for several years, and often brought a pack of neighborhood kids with her. She faithfully sent out church devotionals - over 50 each month - to family and friends.
Marion is survived by her son Jeff (Debbie); grandsons Andrew (Victoria), Kyle (Krissy); great grandsons, Beckett, Luke, and Henry; sibling's Creta (Jim), Mary Carol (Bob), Scarlett (Bill), Lois (Dennis), Helen (Ray), Jack (Peggy), Jim (Sandy); and numerous nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her parents, Mary and John Henninger; husband, Frank Bryson; brother George (Sharon); and sister Joyce (Al).
We welcome friends and family of Marion to join us for a memorial service in her honor. The service will be held on Saturday, January 20th at 2:00 pm at Salem First Baptist Church, 395 Marion Street NE, Salem, Oregon.” Statesman Journal, Salem, Oregon 10 Jan 2024
