TE AMAREMOS POR SIEMPRE MI NEGRO
Se que mi partida a dejado un vacío,
Pueden llenarlo de recuerdos felices
Buenas amistades, risas y todos los
Momentos felices que pasamos
Quizás mi tiempo fue corto;
Te pido no lo alarguen con tristeza y lágrimas
Los amo mucho y siempre estaré con ustedes
Los llevo en mi corazón
Te visitaré con el sol en las mañanas
Te abrazaré con el frío y el calor,
Te besaré con cada gota de lluvia que caiga sobre ti y
Escucharás mi voz en el silencio cuando te sientas solo, nunca pienses que me he ido
Porque entonces ya no estaré a tu lado;
Ahora soy libre y seguido el camino
Que Dios marco para mí, escuche su voz,
Tome su mano, deje todo y fui con el
Gracias por acompañar a mis
Seres queridos en este momento de dolor y aceptación de mi partida.

WE'LL LOVE YOU FOREVER MY
I know my departure has left a void
They can fill it with happy memories
Good friendships, laughter and all the
Happy Moments We Spent
Perhaps my time was short;
I ask you not to prolong it with sadness and tears
I love you so much and I will always be with you
I carry them in my heart
I'll visit you with the sun in the mornings
I'll embrace you with the cold and the heat
I'll kiss you with every drop of rain that falls on you and
You'll hear my voice in the silence when you feel lonely, never think I'm gone
Because then I won't be by your side anymore;
Now I'm free and I'm on the road
That God marked for me, listen to his voice,
I took his hand, dropped everything and went with him
Thank you for accompanying my friends.
Loved ones in this time of grief and acceptance of my departure.

  "Mrs. Van Scoy--Jennie E. Thomas was born April 20, 1848, in Carroll Co., Indiana; was married, Sept. 22d, 1875, to Rev. Thomas Van Scoy, who was then Principal of the Academy at Brookston, White Co., Indiana; and died February 5th, 1884, at Salem, Oregon, of pulmonary consumption.
  When Jennie was five years of age her mother died.  Her father, Mr. Samuel Thomas, having married again, her step-mother after a few years became an invalid; then the care of the children rested mostly on Jennie.  Nobly did she perform this responsible duty.  Thoroughly truthful in her girlhood, as in all her subsequent life, ever obedient to her parents, and conscientious in all things, she had the confidence and affection of the entire family.
  When she was thirteen years old they moved to Battle Ground, Tippicanoe county, that the father might give the children better educational facilities.  There Jennie received an academic education.
  In 1872 the family again moved, this time to Brookston.
  In 1875 she went with her husband to Rensselaer, Ind., he having been appointed pastor at that place.  Three hundred persons were converted during their term on that charge.
  When their labors had been completed at Rensselaer, they moved to Evanston, Ill., where Bro. Van Scoy entered the Garrett Biblical Institute, he having graduated at the Northwestern Univer-sity, in the same city, some years previously.  The winds from Lake Michigan affected her health.  Her lungs bled several times.  At the conclusion of her husband's course at Evanston, he was invited to Willamette University, Salem, Oregon, as Prof. of Greek, and accepted the same with the hope that the climate of the Pacific might bring health to her again.  So indeed it did for two years, but after a time symptoms of throat and lung trouble reappeared, continued and gradually increased until the dear Lord took her home.
  The domestic circle and the field of her husband's labor, occupied her thoughts and were her delight.  She assisted him in every work, and was a helpmeet indeed.  A little daughter, Lena, now three years old gladdened their home.
  At about fifteen years of age she gave her heart to Christ and joined the church.  Her Christian life never flagged, but quietly and strongly moved on like the current of an ever-flowing stream.
  In a very marked degree she gained the esteem and love of all who knew her.  But very few persons win as many friends as did she.
  She was a very quiet and unostentious but faithful and successful laborer in the vineyard of the Lord.  So far as I can learn she was among the very truest of the true ones in all the relations, labors, and vicis-situdes of life.
  In her last sickness she was confined to her bed about three months.  Although at times she suffered intensely, her sick room was not a place of gloom.  Living questions continued to interest her.  The welfare of her family and other friends; the condition of the Willamette University, (of which her husband is President) and each of the pupils; and the state of the church and its members were matters concerning which she often inquired......."

He also remembers her standing at the door with her shotgun, dressed in riding pants and long coat. She went hunting and always came back with something for dinner. She hunted jackrabbits, squirrels, pidgeons or whatever she could find and skinned it for dinner. One time they hit two large turtles on the road with the car and she took them home and made turtle soup for dinner. She never wasted anything. John also said that she always gave him a nickel when she saw him. He could get into the theater to watch a movie for a nickel, and they gave you a bag of popcorn on the way in. That was in the 1930's, about 1936 to 1939. They lived up above Klamath Falls in Pine Ridge, and once or twice a month they would come down to Klamath Falls where Grandma Allen (Nellie Sherman) worked as a cook for a restaurant. She lived at the hotel there. She would always ask John how he was doing in school and give him a nickel. He said she would make big sheets of raviolis for them, too. She would put cooked ground beef in with the spinach and seasonings and have the whole counter filled with raviolis. Grandpa Edd (Rags) was the supervisor at the lumber mill and when it burned down in 1939, they moved to Chiloquin. In the 1930's, the hotel she worked at was the Molitares Hotel in Klamath Falls. Also, she had worked at a logging camp where all the men spoke German. She learned to speak German there and taught John to count in German when he was a little boy. Nellie died at the hospital in Salem on Sunday, May 05, 1946 and was buried on Wednesday, May 08, 1946 at the Lee Mission Cemetery, Section C, Block 52. They held the services there, too.  She was hit by a car in San Francisco, California while boarding a trolley and broke her hip. " [provided to findagrave by descendant]

  "Accident--Braton Vroom, a boy about twelve years of age, met with a pain-ful accident at Cedar Camp a few days since by which he will lose his arm.  The facts as near as we can learn are as follows:  He was visiting the Camp with his family for the purpose of gathering berries and rusticating.  One morning he concluded to go out gunning, and had gone but about two hundred yards when the report of the gun was heard, accompanied by a scream; he was immediately carried to the house and upon searching was found to be wounded in the arm, near the shoulder, the entire charge lodging near the joint.  The arm is terribly mangled and the bone shattered.  It was feared that it would prove fatal.  He will arrive in town this morning, as he was at Silverton last evening."
