"At his home in North Salem, on Tuesday night, December 4, 1888,
Hiram Eddy, aged 84 years and 6 months.
Funeral to-day (Thursday) at 10 o'clock a.m.
Hiram Eddy was born June 7, 1804, in Oneida county, N.Y.; was
married to Amanda Platt, Nov. 4, 1830, and lived on his farm near
Orvell in Oswego county, N.Y., until 1844, when he went with his family
to Branch county, Michigan. In 1851 he started for Oregon, but
when he arrived at the Missouri river, it was too late to cross the
plains that year; conse-quently he remained in Missouri until the
spring following 1852, when with an ox team he made the trip as far as
The Dalles, where he left his teams and went down the Columbia river,
in a small boat, and arrived in Portland on the last day of
October. The next February he went with his family up into Polk
county, where he located a donation claim. In the winter of
1861-62 he was nearly broken finan-cially by the great overflow.
After moving about several times he finally settled in Salem in the
fall of 1873, and has remained here ever since. He had been in
feeble health for 10 years and paralyzed about a year before his
death. He leaves an aged wife and three children--two sons and
one daughter--to mourn his loss. His eldest son, R.A. Eddy, is a
member of the Missoula (Montana) Mercantile Co.; the youngest A.P., is
living at Spokane, while the only living daughter, Mrs. F.E. Chaney, is

Nancy "Bossy" Irene Estep
passed away on March 12, 2022 while living at Tierra Rose. One of her favorite
aides Cinthia was with her when she passed. She was born to George and Jane
Poulsen in California on February 10, 1939. She was the oldest child and had one
brother the late Jack Poulsen. She later moved to Oregon with her late husband,
William Estep.
Nancy was proceeded in death by her youngest daughter Sandra
Pool and her stepson Michael Estep. One daughter, Karen Carlson from Keizer,
Oregon and one stepson William Estep III, survives her. She has five
grandchildren, Clarissa, Elizabeth, and Becci all from Salem, Oregon and Crystal
and AJ from Albany, Oregon. She has 17 great grandchildren. Mercedes, Keith, and
Brandy from Texas, Cain, Arial, Anthony, Yesenia, Hector, Leotie and Zeek from
Salem and Kiera, Kailey, Kaitlyn Brionna, Karma, Harlem, and Roman from Albany.
Nancy lived in a mother-in-law’s house that was on her daughter Karen’s
property. The house was a converted barn. Therefore, she received the nickname
“Bossy” cow. She loved the nickname and had a plaque made at the state fair that
said Bossy’s cow barn. Her favorite aides at Tierra Rose, Cinthia, Rocky, and
Victoria (Pixie) nicknamed her Nana. Her beloved aide’s names were in a special
tablet and only those aides on the list she would allow to care for her. The
aides said she taught them many things about how to care for elderly and enjoyed
their time with her.
Nancy’s family teased she must be related to Wimpy, the
famous Popeye character. She loved hamburgers and no matter where we went, she
would always order a hamburger. To quote the famous Wimpy, “I will gladly pay
you on Tuesday for a hamburger today.”
When Sandra and I were children, our
family owned a station wagon. We also lived on a street that was full of
children. Anyone that wanted to and could fit was welcome to go with us. No
seatbelts were required back then. Fighting over who would sit in the rear
facing seat was just part of the fun of loading up. We would go to parks,
swimming pools, and great movies like a Planet of the Apes marathon that
required all the neighborhood kids to call home and explain why hours later we
were still not home.
Later in her life, Nancy worked helping the elderly and
people with disabilities. She was a great companion to the people she helped and
would help them with their daily needs like grocery shopping and housekeeping
chores. Later when she retired, she enjoyed going places like the state fair, to
the coast and other fun places. She loved animals of all kinds. We would go to
the places like Bandon and Winston to see wild animals. On one trip, we were
able to help feed lions and bears.
Services will occur at Johnson Funeral
Home 134 Missouri Ave, Salem, Oregon on March 25 at 10:00 am with grave side
services to follow at noon at Lee Mission Cemetery. A celebration of life will
occur at Calvary Baptist Church 800 34th Ave. SE, Albany, Oregon on March 26 at
11:00 am. If you have, any further questions please contact her daughter Karen
Carlson.” Published by Johnson Funeral Home, Salem, Oregon March 27 & 28, 2022.
