wife of Rev. Parrish
one of the reinforcement of the Oregon mission of the M. E.
Church. Founder of the Orphan Home in Salem
"Dies, in Salem, Marion county, Oregon, Aug. 30th, 1869, of
lingering illness, Mrs. Elizabeth Parrish, late consort of Rev. J.L.
Parrish, of the Oregon Annual Conference, aged 58 years 5 months and 13
days.
Maiden name, Elizabeth Winn. Born in Montgomery county,
New York, March 17th, 1811. Brought up principally in the city of
Rochester, New York. United with the M.E. Church in 1830.
Married to Mr. Parrish Sept. 26th, 1833. Set sail from New York
harbor in the ship Lausanne, for Oregon, in company with her husband,
three child-ren, and a number of other families, October 9th,
1839. Arrived in Oregon, May 1840, via Cape Horn and the
Sand-wich Islands. Here with her family she has since lived,
except a few months visit to her friends in the east. In Oregon,
Mrs. Parrish has with others, endured the hardships and perils incident
to this then, far off, barbarous, and almost unknown land; many a
pioneer has shared the hospitalities of her and her husband's house,
while her hands have ministered to their necessities; these on hearing
of her death, will drop a tear over the memory of past scenes.
As a woman, Mrs. Parrish possessed a strong mind and commanding
mien; a sound discriminating judgment, and a kind heart. `She opened
her mouth in wisdom, and on her tongue was the law of kindness.'
As a wife, Mrs. Parrish `reverenced her husband, in her, his
heart could trust; she did him good, and not evil, all the days of her
life, she looked well to her household, and ate not the bread of
idleness. Her adorning was modest, not that outward adorning of
plaiting the hair and wearing of gold, or putting on extravagant and
gaudy apparel; but the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not
corruptable, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in
the sight of God, of great price.'
As a mother, few children, if any, ever had a better than her's
`They will arise up and call her blessed,' and long will they cherish
the memory of her motherly affection, and the words of wisdom and
kindness which fell from her lips.
As a friend, she was true and could be implicitly confided in;
as a neighbor, always obliging; as a Christian, Sister Parrish's
religious experience was comforting and clear, and yet her piety shone
more in example and deeds, than words; every where, by land and by sea,
she adorned her Christian profession; in all places, that same
consistant Christian woman. To the sick within her reach, she was
ever ready to administer comfort and aid. She clothed the naked,
and fed the hungry. She blessed the orphan and wiped his
tears. She sympathized with suffering humanity, and relieved
it. She rejoiced with those who rejoiced, and wept with those
that wept. She was the President of the `Ladies Christian
Commission Society' of Salem, and among others gave of her means to
relieve the wounded and suffering soldiers. A true Christian
patriot. She was also President of the `Children's Aid Society,'
and did much to promote its interests. In her last sickness,
Sister Parrish suffered as a Christian, patiently trusting in God to
the last, and was sustained. She talked freely of her passage to
the heavenly state; just on the brink of the `stream' she said, `It is
but a step over, just a step, and those on the other shore are awaiting
to wel-come me. I have no particular one in view, but they are
there, thousands of them.'
Those who stood by will not soon forget that heaven beaming
counten-ance; her death was triumphant. Just as she breathed her
last, she raised her hands and eyes, as evidently a brighter scene
broke on her enraptured vision, and exclaimed, `Father Leslie! Father
Leslie!' and was gone. Was that glorified patriarch allowed, with
other shining ones, to escourt her home? What a privilege, `to
see a pilgrim as he dies; with glory in his view!' With Sister
Parrish, as with others before the Throne:
`The voyage of lifes at an end,
The mortal afflicition is past;
The age that in heaven they spend;
Forever, and ever, shall last.'
May God abundantly bless and comfort the bereaved husband and
children; and may they all, at last, come to the home of the
blessed.'" PCA Sep 11, 1869 2:5

"Miss Nina Winn Parrish died at her house here, 455 North Summer
street, yesterday. She was born in Salem April 5, 1870 and had
spent her entire life here. She is survived by two sisters, Mrs.
Hallie Parrish Hinges of Salem and Mrs. E.M. Cox of Seattle.
At the time of her death Miss Parrish was and for many years had
been the proprietress of a high class boarding house.
Funeral services will be held from the chapel of the
Clough-Barrick company mortuary, Thursday, April 6 at 2 p.m. with Rev.
W.C. Kantner and Rev. F.A. Weil officiating. Interment will
follow in the family plot at the Lee Mission cemetery.
Miss Parrish was only a few days ago, while apparently in her
usual health, the victim of a paralytic stroke, from which she did not
rally. Some of her friends who had been her patrons went
yesterday to a florist's to secure flowers for presentation on her 63d
birthday, and were surprised to be told their intended recipient had
passed to her long home--missing by only a day the anniversary.
Her father was Norman Parrish, a resident of the capital city
from his early youth, who passed on a number of years ago. He was
the son, and thus the deceased a granddaughter, of Rev. J.L. Parrish,
who came as a member of the famous Lausanne party of mission-aries
arriving in 1840, with his wife and three children. He held
several mission stations, having supervision of work among the Indians,
to whom he was known as "the man of peace." He was successful in
his mission and other work, held the northeast mile square donation
claim of the four that make up the site of Salem. He and his wife
gave the land on which was built the Glen Oak orphans' home, now one of
the buildings of the state hospital; and Lee Mission cemetery is on a
part of that claim. The Parrish junior high school was named for
him--standing on part of the original Parrish claim. Rev. J.L.
Parrish was at the primary meetings leading to the provisional
government, upon which the state of Oregon was founded. His name
is on the Champoeg Park monument. In all pioneering movements,

"Mrs. Rosa Penn Dies Yesterday--Woman of Heroic Character Passes
Away After Long and Eventful Life--After a singularly eventful life of
85 years, Mrs. Rosa Penn passes away at 10 o'clock yesterday morning at
the home of her son, James T. Penn, 500 North Capitol street.
Born in Indiana and later a resident of Arkansas and Oklahoma,
Mrs. Penn's life history was full of deeds of bravery, heroism and
sacrifice more than commonly falls to the lot of women. Living in
an age before modern machinery simplified living, Mrs. Penn picked
cotton, which she spun and wove into garments, and cared for the ten
children born to her.
It is told of her that on one occasion when living in Arkansas
during the war the supply of salt gave out, and the family suffered
much because of the lack of it, Mrs. Penn rode on horseback a distance
of 150 miles, securing a peck of the coveted article and was within a
half mile of home when set upon by `bushwackers' and robbed of it, but
her pathetic appeal to them caused the return of a small portion of it.
At another time a neighbor's husband had been killed by
marauding `bushwackers,' and every able-bodied man having been pressed
into war service, Mrs. Penn dug the grave for the man and made for him
the box that served as a casket.
Her strength of character, courage and indomitable will remained
with her throughout her life, and she retained her faculties to the
very last.
Her declining years were full of suffering, which she bore
bravely and patiently. Her illness was due to cancer, and she
suffered the amputa-tion of one arm to stay the ravages of the
disease. Twice was her hip broken by falls, the last time being
in September, an injury from which she never recovered.
She is survived by the following children, her husband
having preceded her to the grave about seven years ago; Mrs. Murphy of
Harrison, Ark.; Mrs. Willson, Shawnee, Okla.; John H. and A.L. Penn of
Oklahoma; George of Washington; Mrs. Miller of Harlan, Or., and J.T.
Penn of this city.

"Died In Jail--Douglas Pickett, aged 36 years, formerly a bright
young man of this city, with a promising future, died in the city jail
yesterday morn-ing at 10:30 o'clock, as a result of a protracted spree
and an excessive indulgence in alchohol, cocaine and morphine, to which
habits he has been addicted for a number of years. De-ceased was
found in the old Postoffice stable, by Chief of Police D.W. Gibson
Friday afternoon, in a very bad condi-tion, and was later taken to the
police' station by that officer, where he was made as comfortable as
possible. Yesterday morning, however, his condition grew worse
and he became suddenly convulsed in spasms and fits, of which nothing
seemed to relieve him. He tore his clothing from his body, and
fell on the cement floor a number of times, striking his face and head
and his death, which came at 10:30 o'clock, is supposed to have been
caused by these severe falls.
Coroner D.F. Lane was called and upon making a thorough
examination of the circumstances decided that it was not necessary to
hold an inquest and the remains were taken to Rigdon & Clough's
undertaking parlors, where they were prepared for burial.
Doug. Pickett, as he is more famili-arly known, was a one time
Salem boy and of highly respectable family, but through mingling in bad
company and contracting those destructive drug habits he went from bad
to worse until the end came, which in his case, was a godsend.

b. 30 Jan 1929 Hood

d. 08 Feb 2018 Portland, Oregon
RC-12-11
"David Oldham Poindexter, a Methodist minister who championed the use of radio
and television serial dramas to promote family planning, gender equity, and
protection of the environment, died February 8 at a hospital in Portland,
Oregon. He died from the effects of a stroke. Poindexter, who also organized
several non-governmental organization (NGO) forums at major UN conferences, was
born in Hood River, Oregon on January 30, 1929.
After
receiving a Bachelor’s of Art at Willamette University in 1951 and both
Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Theology at Boston University (where he
became friends with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.), David served as pastor of
Parkrose Heights Methodist Church in Portland for eight years. He then moved to
New York City to work with the National Council of Churches for five years as
Director of Utilization of the NCC’s Broadcasting and Film Commission and then
Director of Promotion Services, during which he established close ties with the
Hollywood community.
At the request of his bishop, David became
Director of the Communication Center of the Population Institute from 1970 to
1985. In the early1970s, he collaborated with John D. Rockefeller III to hold a
meeting of the three network CEOs – a meeting also attended by then UN
ambassador George H.W. Bush and Senator Robert Packwood – to discuss treatment
of gender, reproductive health and family planning issues in television. He
convinced the CEOs of the three major networks to host a large gathering in New
York of key network entertainment producers and writers. Following that event,
he organized annual awards ceremonies in collaboration with the National Academy
of Television Arts and Sciences to recognize the best entertainment shows
addressing those issues.
One of the outgrowths of Poindexter’s
outreach to Hollywood leaders was a long-standing relationship with Norman Lear
and his head of drama, Virginia Carter. At Poindexter’s suggestion, the
character Maude, in the series by the same name, had a mid-life abortion – six
months before the Roe vs. Wade decision by the U.S. Supreme Court. As Norman
Lear later put it, “David got Maude pregnant.” Similarly, he suggested the
vasectomy of Rob Reiner’s character, Michael, on All in the Family.
During his work in Hollywood, Poindexter worked closely with Mary Tyler Moore,
who was a great supporter of his work, which helped to bring about the
discussion of sexism in the workplace on the Mary Tyler Moore Show.
In the mid-1970s, Poindexter began working in Mexico, where he discovered and
promoted the work of Miguel Sabido, a well-known Mexican playwright and
television producer who became a pioneer in entertainment-education. As Vice
President of Televisa, Sabido produced six telenovelas in the late
1970s and early 1980s, modeling family planning use for Mexican audiences.
During that time, Mexico experienced the most rapid decline in fertility rate of
any developing country in the 20th century up until that time. These
programs had similar effects when they were broadcast in several in
Spanish-speaking countries in Latin America. Thomas Donnelly, then with USAID in
Mexico, wrote, “The Televisa family planning soap operas have made the
single most powerful contribution to the Mexican population success story.”
In the early 1980s, Poindexter took Sabido to meet with Indian Prime Minister
Indira Gandhi, and following a training program they organized for Doordarshan
(Indian Television), the country began broadcasting India’s first social content
soap opera, Hum Log (“We People”) in July 1984. The program included
promotion of family planning and elevation of the status of women through the
words and actions of key characters. Research conducted by the Annenberg School
for Communication and Journalism of the University of Southern California, found
dramatic impacts on audience attitudes about women’s rights and ideal family
size. The program spurred over 400,000 people to write letters to the Indian
Television Authority.
In 1986, Poindexter, with commercial
sponsorship from India’s largest industrial conglomerate, helped to organize a
second serial drama, which aired in January 1992. Produced by Roger Pereira,
Humraahi (“Come Along With Me”) dealt with child marriage, age of first
pregnancy, gender bias in childbearing and child rearing, equal educational
opportunity, and the right of women to choose their own husbands. A Rockefeller
Foundation-funded study showed that viewers, contrasted with non-viewers,
changed significantly in their attitudes regarding the ideal age of marriage and
the acceptability of women in the work place.
At the Population
Institute, and later as founder and President of Population Communications
International (1985-1998), Poindexter worked to bring about similar programs in
numerous countries, including Brazil, China, Kenya, Madagascar, Namibia,
Nigeria, Pakistan, the Philippines, St. Lucia, and Tanzania.
Following retirement in 1998, Poindexter served as Honorary Chair of Population
Media Center, where he helped establish new programs in Ethiopia and Nigeria. He
continued in this role until his death, during which time Population Media
Center implemented social change serial dramas in 54 countries.
Poindexter chaired the U.S. NGO Committee for the UN Population Conference in
1974, held in Bucharest, Romania. He also served as Convener of the NGO Planning
Committee for the 1984 Population Conference, held in Mexico City and as
Convener of the NGO Planning Committee for the 1994 UN Conference on Population
and Development, held in Cairo. The 1994 NGO Forum became the largest NGO forum
in UN history.
For over a decade, he was an officer of the
Committee on Sustainable Development of the Conference of Non-Governmental
Organizations in Consultative Status with the UN’s Economic and Social Division.
He also served on the Executive Committee of the Conference of UN
Representatives of the Council of Organizations of the United Nations
Association-USA (UNA-USA). He was an Honorary Fellow of the Population Reference
Bureau, and received the Ninoy Aquino Human Rights Award, an Alumni Citation
from Willamette University, the Eleanor Schnurr Award of the UNA-USA, and the
Distinguished Service Award of the Population Institute. He was an Honorary Life
Board Member of the Council on International Non-Theatrical Events (CINE).
Poindexter’s life and work are captured in his autobiographical book, Out of
the Darkness of Centuries, published in 2009.
David is
survived by his wife of 65 years, Marian Sayer Poindexter, and his son, Jim.
A memorial service will be held on Tuesday, February 13, at the First United
Methodist Church, at 1838 SW Jefferson Street, Portland, Oregon 97201 at 10:30
am.
In lieu of flowers, the family has requested memorial

"Price--At the family home, 482 South High street, Saturday,
September 21, 1907, at 2:30 p.m., Mrs. E.C. Price, aged 50 years.
Mrs. Price, whose maiden name was Margaret Wallace, was born in
Harrison county, Indiana, February 6, 1857, being one of seven
children. On August 4, 1878, she was married to E.C. Price, at
Vincennes, Indiana, and to this union were born two sons, Oscar E. and
J. Cyrus, who are with their father in the Price shoe store recently
opened in this city.
The family moved to Hastings, Nebra-ska, in 1886; to Bentelman,
Nebraska, in 1892; to Alberta, Canada, in 1900; to Woodburn, in 1903,
and to Salem in June of the present year.
Mrs. Price was converted to religi-ous faith at the age of 12
years, and joined the Methodist Episcopal church of which she remained
a faithful member until the time of her death, and showed her devotion
to Christian-ity by active work in Sunday school and Epworth League.
The health of the deceased has always been frail, but the
decline has been marked since 1903, with the exception of an interval
previous to March, 1905, since which time she had been a constant,
though patient sufferer.
Rev. W.H. Selleck, her pastor, will conduct the funeral at the
family residence, 482 South High street today (Sunday) at 3 p.m.
The interment will be in Lee Mission cemetery." DOS Sep 22, 1907

"Roy Price Passes Away--Popular Student's Blossom of Life Is

retired, and one of the best known and most popular students of
Willamette university, died at the home of his parents, in this city,
Sunday morning, at the age of 28 years, of cancer. The funeral
took place yesterday afternoon Rev. W.H. Selleck of the First Methodist
church, conducting the services, and the remains were given interment
in the City View cemetery.
Deceased had only been ill of the malady which proved fatal to
him but eight or nine months, and the fact that it resulted in his
death at such an immature age is a marvel to the local medical
profession who state that it is rare that cancer proves fatal within
the age of 40 years. He was of mild and pleasant disposition and
the high esteem in which he was held by his fellow university students
was attested by the manner in which those who are in the city turned
out to pay their last respects to their deceased friend and college

"Proctor Drops Dead in Office of Physicians--A shock to the
community in which he lived the greater part of the 23 years of his
life and where he was known as an athlete and sportsman, was the sudden
death late Tuesday afternoon of Daryl F. Proctor. Death came as
he was being examined in the offices of Dr. J.H. Garnjobst and Dr.
Elgar S. Fortner in the U.S. National bank building. A heart
affliction is given as the cause. Monday evening Proctor
complained of abdominal pains and Tuesday afternoon he went to the
doctor's office for an examination. He was on the examining table
for less than 10 minutes when death occurred. Both physicians
were with him at the time.
Proctor is survived by his wife, Gladys; his mother, Mrs.
Elizabeth Proctor, who was spending the summer in Seattle; a brother,
Errol Proctor, of Portland; and four sisters, Mrs. B.E. Otjen and Miss
LaVerne Proctor of Salem, Mrs. Vida Compton of Redmond, Wash., and Mrs.
Hugh Latham of Los Angeles.
Proctor was a leading player with the Salem Senators for a
number of years and he was active in Twilight league affairs.
While a student at Salem high school he was outstanding in baseball,
football and track. He was president of the high school student
body in his senior year. After his graduation from Salem high
school in 1916 he attended O.A.C. for one year where he led in freshman
athletics. He enlisted in the navy during the war and was
stationed for one year in Los Angeles and for two years at the base
hospital in Phila-delphia, where he was mustered out.
On his return to Salem after three years in the service, Proctor
worked for a short time with the old Phez company and later at Waits
packing house before he joined the Valley Motor company. For the
past seven years Proctor was manager of the parts department at the
Valley Motor company.
Daryl Proctor was born in Middletown, Idaho, June 15,
1896. His father Willard Proctor died in Salem three years ago

"Dr. Robert (Bob) L. Purbrick PhD Dec. 5, 1919 - Oct. 6, 2010 SALEM - Bob was
born Dec. 5, 1919, in Salem, Oregon, to Violet (Barker) and Harold Purbrick. His
parents were both born in England, but met and married in Salem. He attended
public schools in Salem (Englewood, Parrish, Salem High). He graduated with a BA
(physics, mathematics, chemistry) from Willamette University in 1942, MA
(physics, mathematics) University of Wisconsin and a PhD (physics) University of
Wisconsin. After graduating from Willamette he taught Army Air Corps
meteorologists for about one year at the University of Wisconsin. When the
program came to an end, he started working as a nuclear physicist at the
Metallurgical Laboratory of the University of Chicago. This was the code name
for the Atomic Bomb Project at Chicago. Research carried out for the Corps of
Engineers, Manhattan District. He worked mainly at the Argonne Laboratory of the
University of Chicago. Argonne was a small laboratory located in the Argonne
Forest about 30 miles west of Chicago and was under the direction of Enrico
Fermi, a Nobel Prize winner in Physics. He helped construct and operate the
world's first two nuclear reactors and performed many nuclear physics
experiments which were all classified "secret". In 1945 he received a
"certificate of appreciation" from the Army Corps of Engineers. In 1946 after
WWII he returned to the University of Wisconsin under a Wisconsin Alumni
Research Foundation Fellowship. In 1947 he became a Professor of Physics at
Willamette University where he remained until retirement in 1985. At his
retirement, former students established the Robert L. Purbrick scholarship. He
published physics research articles mainly in four major physics journals
(Physical Review, American Journal of Physics, Review of Scientific Instruments,
Journal of Chemical Physics). The research was mainly in nuclear physics, atomic
and molecular physics, electronics and analog computers. Since the research was
published worldwide it resulted in communications with scientists working in
physics, chemistry, cancer research and radiocarbon dating all over the world.
The research was sponsored by grants from the Research Corporation, the National
Science Foundation, and the Atomic Energy Commission. In the mid-1950s he and a
medical doctor started the first nuclear medicine laboratory in the area. He
belonged to many scientific societies (American Physical Society, American
Association of Physics Teachers, Institute of Electrical and Electronic
Engineers, Sigma Xi, the American Geophysical Union, Optical Society of America,
the Society of Nuclear Medicine and others). In August of 1953 he and Ursula
Glaeser were married in the Methodist church in Corvallis where Bob was teaching
at Oregon State at the time. Ursula was an exchange student from Austria and
also a housemother at Willamette University. Ursula and Bob lived in south Salem
for many years before entering Capital Manor in West Salem in 1999. He is
survived by his wife, Ursula; three daughters, Sally (Gunther) Illek of
Queensland, Australia, Edith (Earl) Gilder of Medford, Oregon and Carol Anthony

"Mrs. Purvine Services Set For Friday--Mrs. Hannah E. Purvine,
805 Oak st., widely known Salem woman, died at a Salem hospital
Wednesday following an illness of some time. Funeral services
have been scheduled for Friday at 1:30 p.m. from St. Paul's Episcopal
church.
Mrs. Purvine was born in Vancouver, Wash., December 16, 1871,
the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Clausman Hileman. Her father
died when she was four years old and she was reared by her mother and
step-father, Dr. E.Y. Chase, a Salem physician.
The Chases made their home on the corner of Court and High
streets, now the site of the Senator hotel. As a girl, Mrs.
Purvine attended Willamette university, studying music, and on October
4, 1893, she was married to Charles Dudley Purvine.
For a few years the couple resided in the Lincoln community but
for the past 40 years Mrs. Purvine had made Salem her home. She
was active in the affairs of the St. Paul's Episcopal church until
failing health prevented continuing in church activities.
Surviving are a son, Edwin C. (Ted) Purvine of Salem, a
grandson, Richard W. Purvine, and a brother, John Hile-man of
Salem. Another son, Lawrence, died in 1928." OS Oct 25, 1945 5:4
