GORNALL posted by Linda Golesch-Hatton on Saturday, November 7, 1998

Hi there- I am seeking info on Robert Edward GORNALL, who was a pastor in Pendleton in 1920 (it says at "City Church" on the census record). I haven't been able to find records of him after that. He was born 1879 in England and came to the US in 1891. In Pendleton, he lived at 608 Johnson Street, with his wife Dorothy GORNALL and their 2 daughters, Bernice and Lois GORNALL. Can anyone send info on him or the church that he was Pastor of? Thank you very much!

NEIL, ROSE posted by Susan Austin on Wednesday, February 24, 1999

Clarabelle ROSE, sister of John(Jack) V. and Harry E. ROSE of Helix, OR: Clarabelle ROSE Miss Clarabelle ROSE, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. A. ROSE of Cuba, was born in the town of Lyndon, Feb. 20, 1889. She was educated at Cuba high school and in 1913 graduated as a nurse from the Buffalo General hospital. Later she took a position in the Dansville sanitarium, where she practiced her profession. In 1917 she wished to enlist as a Red Cross nurse and volunteered for service in France, but on taking the required physical examination she was informed that she was afflicted with tuberculosis. She made a long and determined struggle against the disease and everything possible was done for her recovery, but without avail. In November she went to Raybrook in the Adirondacks, were she passed 18 months. About the first of last October she went to Helix, Umatilla Co., Oregon, in the hope that the change of climate might be beneficial and for two months or more her health seemed much improved. About Christmas time she began to decline, however, and she died on Feb. 5. Her remains were brought to Cuba, where her funeral took place Feb. 12, at the home of her parents on East Main street, the Rev. T. W. Carter conducting the service. The deceased was a devoted member of the Baptist church and was actively interested in the Philathea class and in the choir, to which she also belonged. Beside her parents, Miss ROSE left the following brothers and sisters: Harry E., John and Genevieve of Helix, Umatilla Co., Oregon; Ernest and Myrtal of Rochester; Mrs. Clarence NEIL, and Marion and Irene ROSE of Cuba. -- Unidentified newspaper clipping (probably to Cuba Patriot), hand dated 1921. Any information about Clarabelle, John or Harry ROSE would be appreciated.
