| 6606 | If it’s an assembly-line instrument you want, don’t go to Lucian White Retired woodworker is fussy about his dulcimers By Wayne Arnst, Tribune Staff Writer A number of folks back in his home state of “Kentuck” made dulcimers (or dulcimores) so instructions Lucian White, 1019 1/2 10th Ave. SW, saw in a woodworking magazine on how to construct one looked simple enough to him. “I just love to work with wood,” the 86-year-old said. “When God made trees for us, that was the greatest gift we ever had, by golly. “That plastic stuff make me tired to look at it!” The dulcimer has three or four or more strings – banjo strings (G, G, and C), White explained. He said the original dulcimers were three-string instruments, although later models have four strings or as many as the player requests. He prefers the basic three-string model. White’s woodworking shop in Great Falls is much smaller than the Kentucky mill at which he worked for so many years. And many of the tools he uses for making a dulcimer are homemade. His equipment includes a power sander made from a 1/2-inch drill he got at a rummage sale, spoke shaves to serve as planes for rounded surfaces, a scroll saw and numerous hand tools. He uses carpenter glue when necessary. It it’s an assembly-line musical instrument that people want, Lucian White would not be the person to ask. It’s true that modern dulcimers may be a little more polished more sophisticated, than White’s. (He uses hardwood, some of which comes from old packing crates.) But, it the buyer wants tradition – a craftsman’s dulcimer made by a man who has worked with wood for 74 years – then a White dulcimer will undoubtedly be the conversation piece he is after. White, who has made a dozen of the instruments, has given most of them away and has two for sale at Kops Music Mart in Westgate shopping center. “I would take orders if people want,” he said. The dulcimer is placed on the player’s lap and plucked with a turkey quill, or a piece of plastic if you’re not fussy, and is used to accompany folksingers or just for listening. The not string is played by pressing a wooden peg near the frets. White doesn’t play the instrument himself. “Haven’t had time to learn how to play ‘em. Too busy makin’ ‘em,” he said. White suggested that person wanting to know more details about the dulcimer get a copy of “The Dulcimer Book” by Jean Ritchie. This explains her search for its origins and history, how to tune the instrument and includes some Kentucky folk songs to be accompanied by dulcimers. White said he was born in the Cumberland Mountains near Morehead, Kentucky in 1894 in an area settled by the English, Scots and Germans. His Scottish grandfather “was a timberman, an expert with an ax. Had a reputation for being able to split a hair on a broadax,” White said. The timber industry today complains about a depressed housing market but, back when his grandfather was cutting poplar trees to build cabins, things were really booming, White said. The trees were 18 inches at the butt, 12 inches at the top and it was 50 feet up to the first branch, White said. His grandfather would make a house pattern of logs, 24 feet long by 20 feet wide, enough to build a log cabin. He’s finish the entire job in about a week for $1.25 and then the neighbors would hold a house raising and dance on a Saturday. White figures that $1.25 would be worth about $75 today. The Kentucky hills and its people, especially his grandmother Vianna Hamm, are what White likes to talk about most. “Oh,” he exclaimed, “every boy should have a grandmother like that to tell him stories.” It was right after the Civil War when the southern general John Hunt Morgan paid his last visit to White’s grandmother’s hunting lodge, White said. Morgan used to come there before the war for recreation and hunting and White’s grandparent’s hospitality. Grandfather Hamm had gotten a land grant to run the lodge and the area was excellent for hunting fox, white-tailed deer and the like. Also had good fishing, White said. Well Morgan was one of those generals who never did surrender. He became leader of an outlaw band and would ride in, steal horses and loot a place at the drop of a hat. If there wasn’t any loot worth having or he met resistance in taking it, he’d have his men set all the buildings on fire. When they came riding into his grandmother’s after her husband had died, she was down in a cellar alone, White said. The outlaws were bent on stealing the horses from the corral but were unable to get them out. “For some reason the horses just ran around in the corral making a commotion.” His grandmother ran up from the cellar and accosted the outlaws by herself. White said “John Hunt Morgan!” she shouted at the former general. “Is this the tanks you give me for slaving over a hot cookstove while you were out hunting? Morgan just looked down from his big horse and motioned for his men to close the gate. “Come on boys,” he said. “her horse never were any good.” And they rode off. White said that, without an education, he started work at 12 years of age wheeling sawdust from a mill where wagon wheel spokes were made. “working my way up and was making $3 a day and could read and write a little,” he said. “Better than an education in those days.” White served in the Army World War I. He joined up and wanted to become an engineer. “They stripped me naked and set me down with a bunch of other fellas on a cold floor,” he said and told us it’s not what you want – it’s what we want.” “They made a cook out of me. I never got out of Kentucky.” He didn’t get out of Kentucky until 1949. He came to Montana because of his wife Elsie. They were married in 1921. “She wanted to come home every two years,” White said. “Couldn’t keep paying for all those round-trip tickets so I came with her.” They made several trips to Montana to visit her parents before White retired in 1954 and they moved here to stay. Elsie was born and raised east of Cascade, daughter of Nellie and Basil Carr. Her uncle was T.W. Minton. White’s boss at the Bourbourville, Ky., mill. When T.W. returned to Kentucky from a Montana horse-buying trip in 1919, he brought Elsie and her two sisters with him, White said. “He was showin’ ‘em off around the mill and this big falla asked me, ‘What da you think o’ them chickens the boss brought back?’” “Well,” White said, “I’d fell in love with Elsie the minute she walked in. I told that fella to keep his looks off that little gal with the blue eyes ‘cause that was the one I was gonna marry. “I worried her for about two years and finally married her,” he said.

| 6607 | Illah Jean Blair, 86 of Vancouver, WA, passed away March 4, 2010 at her home. Phil, her husband for 65 years, was by her side. She was born on June 20, 1923 in Mindota, MO to Loren and Nina Myers. When Jean was a year old, her family moved to Shreveport, LA where she grew up. She was the youngest of four children: two sisters, LaVon and Foncine and a brother, Junior. While in school, she enjoyed playing the flute and won second place in the state competition. Jean met Phil, a young Army Air Corps pilot, stationed at Barksdale Army Air Base, who she subsequently married on August 23, 1944. They moved to Vancouver with their newborn son, Steve, October 1945. A year after arriving in Vancouver their second son, Don, was born. While Steve and Don were growing up, Jean devoted herself to homemaking. Sixteen years after Steve was born, Jean and Phil's third son, Joe, was born. While her boys were growing up, she taught Sunday school, was Cub Scout den mother, room mother and participated in the PTA. We all enjoyed Mom's cooking. Don, with the help of other family members, compiled a book of Mom's recipes, titled "Illah Jeans Kitchen", in which each family member included an anecdote about Mom along with her recipe for their favorite food. Jean's favorite activities were bowling, Scrabble, dominoes, cards and socializing with friends and family. She and Phil traveled extensively, frequently bragging about being able to fly for free because of passes provided by Steve who was an airline pilot. Mom was very proud of all of her boys. Don provided free dental care and Joe, who runs an air conditioning and refrigeration business in Vancouver, was always available for projects around the house. Jean is survived by her husband, Phil; her three sons and daughters-in-law, Steve and Barbara Jo, Don and Kathleen Bemis Blair, and Joe and Lynn; and grandchildren, Angela Haviland, Matt Blair, Wendy Blair, Jason Blair, Roxanne Blair, Kyra Blair, Kellen Blair, Jill Blair and Brendan Blair; and great-grandchildren, Grant McClellan, Nathan Haviland and Mike Haviland. She was preceded in death by her parents, Nina and Loren; and her three siblings, Junior, LaVon, and Foncine. We would like to thank Jean's friends and neighbors for their support. And a special thanks to her care givers: Lydia, Diana, Nijole, Julia and Gayle and Hospice Southwest. A memorial service will be held Sat., March 6 at 1:00 p.m. at Columbia Presbyterian Church, 805 SE Columbia Ridge Dr., Vancouver, WA. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the American Diabetes Association at P.O. Box 11454, Alexandria, VA 22312. Published in The Columbian on March 5, 2010 | Myers, Illah Jean (I4310)

| 6618 | In Memoriam. The stern sergeant, Death, has again, with the ponderous mace of time knocked at the portals of eternity, and ushered a weary pilgrim in. The headaches and heartaches that haunted long the way of the sojourner, are now but as memory of a dreadful dream. The earthly life that went out in the gray dawn of the morning of August 28th, 1894 had been in the keeping of Lorenzo Dow Haynes for sixty five temporal years. His career was an unusual one; he was an unusual man. Having traveled considerable over many different states, he naturally was in possession of a large store of experience and practical knowledge of various subjects. He was generous to a fault; broad minded as the circumstances under which he lived would permit; genial, kind and great-hearted, though sometimes nervous and impulsive. His sympathy was only outweighed by his unbounded love for all children, and especially his own. He laid no claims to sainthood, but belived with an abiding faith in the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of humanity. Ready to go on the errands of love and mercy at all times, never once considering the strain upon his own system. He clung to his faith in God with the tenacity of one who realizes its worth, and almost with his dying breath expressed his gratitude to one who had prayed for him. And must we say that such a life is ended? No, so, we dare not, for God, who created man is His own image, did not breathe into him a life to be ended as the light of a candle is extinguished. Rather let us say that death is not the end of , but only an event in, life. For, out of the narrow portals through which he has gone, and up to which every soul of earth is surely marching, there spread the limitless fields of eternity. = And God is there; and where God is there much be life. “The gift of God is eternal life,” and that is the life that is beyond the grave. Indeed we bemoan our loss, but, blessed be God, it is his eternal gain. We “weep not as men without hope,” but are looking for the “resurrection of the body and the life everlasting” Peace, peace to his ashes! May the memory of his unselfish life, and of his many deeds live ever-green in our hearts to ennoble and uplift us to that high sphere in which our Master dwells, for “Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day: Earth’s joys grow dim, its glories pass away, Change and decay in all around I see: O Thou who changest not, abide with me. Hold though thy cross before my closing eyes; Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies: Heaven’s morning breaks, and earth’s vain shadows flee; In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.” C.L.H.

| 6619 | In Memory of B.K. Bumgarner. Bro. B.K. Bumgarner was born in Millsborough, Washington county, Penn., Dec. 9th 1835; Died Oct. 29, 1908. His father died when he was about two and one half years old and he was reared from that date by an uncle until he was about ten years old. After this he spent two years with a brother-in-law. Most all of these years were spent in Ohio. He then returned to Pennsylvania, where he labored until about the age of eighteen when he moved to Putnam county, Ill. In 1867 he moved from Illinois to Linn county, Mo., and settled on a farm in Grantsville township. There he resided until February 1894 when he moved to Purdin where with two of his sons he entered the mercantile business and continued a member of the firm until death. During his residence in Illinois he was married Nov. 18, 1856, to Miss Mary A. Grave. Eleven children were born to this happy union. Four - Elias, Elmer, Dora and Frank have died. Seven are still living, viz: Uriah, George, Joshua, Mrs. Lavina Hutchinson, Mrs. Lizzie Purdin, Mrs. Minnie Pulliam and Mrs. Rebecca Cassity. All were present at his death, together with his faithful companion, and listened to his fatherly counsel which he so lovingly gave when he realized the time of his departure was at hand. He also leaves eleven grand-children and two great-grand children. Bro. Bumbarner obeyed the gospel at the age of forty under the preaching of Bro. Alpheus Brown. Since that time he has been a very faithful member of the church of Christ and has served the church at Purdin in the capacity of an elder for about ten years. Truly his delight was in the law of the Lord and in it did he meditate day and night. By his Godly life his influence for good was cast over the lives of others, and he rejoiced in seeing all his children obey the gospel. A host of friends join his relatives in mourning over the loss sustained. In his death the town loses an honorable citizen, the church a faithful member and the family a devoted husband and father. Funeral services were conducted by J.C. Bunn at the Church of Christ Saturday, Oct. 31, at 1 p.m., after which the mortal remains were conveyed to the Grantsville cemetery and laid away to await the resurrection of the just. An appreciation of his life was manifested by the large concourse of people present and the beautiful floral offerings contributed. X.X. The Bulletin, Linneus, Missouri.

| 6647 | Indianapolis News---October 18, 1899 Monroe Hedges died late yesterday afternoon at his home in the rear of 1012 Rhode Island Street. His extreme age attracted many curious people to the ramshackle hut in which he lived. Members of the family say there is no doubt that he was nearly 106 years old, although they can not prove it. Hedges often boasted that he had never been whipped in his life, and recently beat his seventy-one year old son with a cane. Undertaker Weiss said the dead man looked at least 106 years old. The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon and the burial will be in Mount Jackson Cemetery, at the side of his wife, who died last May. | Hedges, Monroe (I449)

| 6648 | Indianapolis Sentinel---October 19, 1899 MONROE HEDGES IS DEAD RELATIVES CLAIM HE WAS 105 YEARS OLD Monroe Hedges, who was thought to be the oldest person in Indianapolis, died at 3o'clock yesterday afternoon in a ramshackle hut in the rear of 1012 Rhode Island Street. His relatives claim that he was 105 years old. Hedges was known in the part of the city where he lived as "Granddad Hedges." He was a familiar figure about the streets and enjoyed good health until a few weeks ago. Until Thursday of last week he retained his mental faculties and was able to pull himself about the small, dirty yard in a chair. Blood poisoning set in, however, and gangrene affected his right arm and leg. Hedges leaves five sons and one daughter. The oldest son is seventy-one years old and the youngest about forty-five years old. He was born in Flemingsburg, KY., on the spot where the court house now stands. He was a soldier in the Mexican War and was also a member of the "home guards" during the Civil War. He located in Indianapolis shortly before the war broke out and he delighted to tell of the skirmishes the guards had with the "guerillas." Until recently Mr. Hedges boasted that he was never whipped in his life and made the assertion that he never expected to be. Recently his son Hiram got into an argument with his wife and decided to give her a whipping. His father interfered, however, and knocked him out with a cane. The incident caused considerable comment and New York and Chicago papers sent here for accounts of the old man. Mrs. Hedges died about six months ago at the age of eighty-seven years. The surviving children are: Hiram, James, Jonas, Ross, Dudley, and Louisa. | Hedges, Monroe (I449)
