Haden, George H. (1921-1941) 47/7

“George Haden, Jr, 19, only child of Mr and Mrs George Haden of Wilbur, died Monday evening at the Johnston hospital from injuries which he sustained early that day in an automobile accident. He suffered a fractured skull and internal injuries which were so serious that medical science was powerless to save his life. The accident occurred on the highway south of town, near the Esli Haden ranch, when the car which the young man was driving left the highway and turned over several times. The victim was thrown clear of the wreckage and was brought immediately by a passing motorist to the hospital. For the past several weeks George had driven a school bus and was enroute in the family car to the end of the route where the bus was left Friday evening to begin his task of collecting pupils for delivery into town. George completed his high school course at the end of the first semester in January and was to receive his diploma with the Class of 1941 on May 27. During his school days he was popular with his fellow students and instructors, and was active in various school affairs. He was a member of the high school football squad for two years and was a letter man on last fall’s team. He was industrious and conscientious when tasks were assigned to him, and had been employed lately as extra help at the Lincoln Mutual plant in Wilbur. His tragic and untimely passing comes as a saddened shock to his parents and other relatives and to his young friends and classmates. The funeral service is being conducted this forenoon at 10:30 from the Wilbur Community church; with the pastor, Rev George A Crawford, in charge. Pallbearers were selected from among his school companions and interment will be made in the Wilbur Cemetery.” (Wilbur Register: May 8, 1941)

Hankel, Robert H. (1879-1954)

“Thumbnail Biographies of People You Know. R H Hankel, Wilbur, was here Friday with his son Bernard, to visit his son, Bob (RE) and Mr Hankel dropped into The Citizen office for a chat. When the Citizen editor lived in Wilbur and was co-owner of The Wilbur Register, Mr Hankel’s sister, Ida, now deceased, assisted in the Bassett home. When R H Hankel arrived in Oregon with his parents, he was five years old. The family resided on a farm 12 miles southwest of Portland, four years. In 1884 they went to Wilbur. The stork was liberal and the family multiplied until there were eight boys and three girls. The father died when the youngest child was 7 months old and the widow was left with no financial backing. However, she held the family together and at her passing in 1919 she left an estate of $26,000. The Hankel ranch was located 10 miles south of Wilbur. This son of the original Hankels was living on this farm when Wild Goose Bill was killed. Mr Hankel recalls, when his father’s family arrived in Sprague from Oregon, they shipped a car of cattle to Sprague and the family came by train. The cattle were driven across country from Sprague to the Hankel farm. Among them was a young Jersey bull from another herd and the cattle fought him. It became Mr Hankel’s job, then a lad, to walk and drive that animal. The cross-country trek took three days with the cattle. The family traveled by the stage. On this cross-country drive, the party spent the first night at the farm home of Dick Fish. The second night was spent in the tall bunch grass atop a high hill and the last night at McMannuses about a mile east of the Hankel place. The original land had no water so 80 acres was brought in the Kennewai district. In 1893 Mr Hankel’s father accidentally shot off one of is knee caps. Son Robert walked a quarter of a mile, caught his cayuse, rode to Wilbur to get Dr Yount, helped him hitch his team, and had the doctor at his father’s bedside a distance of 10 miles, in one hour and 54 minutes. Robert H Hankel’s birthplace was in Hamilton County, Nebraska, in a sod house. A farm house replaced the old sod house. Mr Hankel’s youngest sister visited the old Nebraska home place in the fall of 1946 and reported the old frame house still stood, but had received an addition. Every year, in the Salem (Oregon) country is the scene of a Hankel reunion. Mr Hankel attended last fall, with his wife and some Bernard and Frank. There were 65 members of the original family, with some 135 who were more distant branches of the original family tree. Three brothers reside in Canada.” (Citizen: 1-31-1947)
