We got up the next morning, took a whole bunch of pictures and piled into a '48 Dodge and a '41 Ford pickup, with all our belongings and 9 people in those two cars. They first lived in Boring, Oregon, where Bill Zumwalt had a strawberry farm between Boring and Kelso. They stayed with Bill and Carrie Zumwalt for a few days until they all found jobs on a strawberry farm closer to Gresham. A few weeks later they moved into some cabins back at the Zumwalt's farm. After a few months, the family relocated to Hood River, Oregon, where fruit packing was a major industry.

Obituary:

Irene (Clark) DeBoard, obituary, Hood River, 2005
Dessie Irene DeBoard died Friday, Dec. 30, 2005, in Sublimity, Ore. She was 97 years of age.
A funeral service was to be held Tuesday, Jan. 3, at 11 a.m. at Anderson's Tribute Center in Hood River, Ore. Burial will follow at Pine Grove Butte Cemetery in Hood River.
Dessie Irene Clark was born on Oct. 16, 1908, the first of seven children born to John Lawson Clark and Minnie Matilda Story.
They lived in the small village of Amy, Mo., which consisted of a post office, a church and the general store owned by her grandfather John C. Clark.
Her mother died when Irene was 13, leaving a heavy responsibility on her young shoulders for caring for her younger brothers and sisters.
Irene married Floyd Wilson DeBoard on Aug. 29, 1929. The couple moved from Springfield back to the Mountain View area, where Floyd taught through the years in many of the rural schools of the region, and Irene raised their growing family.
In June of 1951 Floyd and Irene, with a family of seven children (ages 4 to 20), made the move to Oregon. They settled in Hood River, where most of their younger children graduated from high school.
In 1957, Floyd died quite suddenly. Irene and her youngest son, Bill DeBoard, moved to Salem, Ore., where she worked and Bill finished school.
She continued to make her life in Salem for the next 40 years. She attended the First Baptist Church in Salem until she moved to assisted living at Marion Estates in Sublimity, in 1997.
Irene was fashionable as a young woman in the clothing of the 1920's, and she maintained those high standards for personal grooming and attire throughout her long life; hair, nails, makeup, and jewelry were important to her. She loved to shop, and particularly enjoyed Christmas shopping for her children and grandchildren each year.
She loved watching Cardinal baseball on television, but her greatest hobby was cutting and piecing quilts; many of her quilts were sent from Oregon back to Missouri to be quilted by Mary DeBoard at the Ladies Aid of the Forest Dell community near Mountain View.
Irene particularly enjoyed family gatherings, and looked forward to her annual birthday party; the family gathered in Sublimity to celebrate her 97th birthday this past October. Her powers of observation and perception continued to amaze her family and friends to the very end of her life.
Irene is survived by her seven children: Lu Walker of Beaverton Ore.; Cora Leah Henshaw of John Day, Ore.; Donald DeBoard of Salem; Edwin DeBoard of Hood River; Jaunita Cross of Prineville, Ore.; Snoden DeBoard of Prineville, Ore.; and Bill DeBoard of Sherwood, Ore. She is also survived by 17 grandchildren, 26 great grandchildren, and one great great grandchild.

I feel so lonesome this Sunday evening to think that you have always been with me so much and now I never see or hardly ever hear from you. I haven?t heard anything of you since you wrote me sometime before I left home. Sometimes I almost think you have forgotten or forsaken me. I think of you every day and of my life and I hope we will have a chance to live close together and if we are not permitted that privilege, I trust that we will live so that we will meet in a better country, where there will be no parting. I never get lonesome when some of you boys are with me, but I do get lonesome when I am alone. I do wish I could have seen Adren. Looks like he could have come home before I left. I trust that he is getting along both financially and spiritually alright. Tell them that I would like to see them awful well. Also tell Will and Hettie that I would love to see them and that I think they might write me. But don?t suppose that Hettie ever thinks of me. Retus, I like Okla alright as far as making a living is concerned. We made $8.35 in 4 days last week, then it was too hot to work steady. Not 80 yards from where I am sitting is a big patch of as fine watermelons as I ever saw, and get all we want without paying a cent. Wish you had some everytime I eat one ? John is working for Fatty Robbison at 15 per month. He likes this country better than he expected and thinks that he will stay here. Aley has been in bed ever since [we?] have been here, but I think she is mending and will be up before long. They have a good deal of corn here and lots of fodder and prairie hay and different kind of weed. Wish you was here next summer to make a crop with me. Think I will buy a team and rent next summer. Will send you a letter I got from Marciller . Retus, I want you to write me all the news. Your brother, S. S. Debord"

I was awful glad to get one from you, was proud to hear that you was all well and enjoying life, for that is all there is in life to enjoy. We are not well. Cora is not well, and hasn?t been for a good while. Floyd has been very poorly for six weeks. He looks awful bad. I have been poorly for a week with my stomach and bowels, but I am mending a little the last day or two. Was able to come down to father?s last night. Haven?t went home yet. I like [OT?] very well and would stay a year or two but I am afraid I could not have our health. I believe I could make a little here if we could have our health, but afraid to risk it and we cannot work on public works. So I don?t know what more to do than go back to MO, which we will do this week if nothing happens. We have made about one hundred dollars this fall and can only land back in MO with about $100. I hate to go back, but don?t know what else to do, I wish you had some way to make a living in Misouri and could see your way clear to come back I would like to live close to you. Bud only has one bail to pick out yet he won?t have more that $25 when he is squared up. If I was you, when I left there I would pick out a place and try to stay with it, for I find nothing in moving around. It?s broke me up of what life I had. I must close. Write. Give Lou and the children my love and respects. Your brother S.S.Deboard"

Obituary:

Obituary, Joel Franklin DeBoard
From the Mountain View Standard

August 15, 1919

REV. J. FRANKLIN DEBOARD - Uncle J. Franklin Deboard was born in White county, Illinois, July 13, 1836, and died June 15, 1919. He toiled along in this old troublesome world for 83 years, 11 months, and 2 days. He was wonderfully saved at the age of 16, and united with the M.E. church. He united in marriage August 26, 1858, to Margaret A. McKinsey, who was a faithful wife and helpmate, being converted to Jesus Christ in her 15th year. She still waits and mourns his departure. To this union were born thirteen children, seven girls and six boys. Five boys and two girls still are waiting their departure when they shall join their father and loved ones who have crossed on over the tide. Two girls, Mrs. J.H. Goodman and Mrs. W.L. Beard, and S.S. Deboard, live north of Chandler, Okla., and two boys, A.L. and R.H. Deboard, and two other sons, A.E. and L.L. Deboard, still live near Mountain View. Rev. Deboard was licensed to preach in the M.E. Church in 1860. He volunteered in the union army in August, 1861, and made a good soldier for three years, being honorably discharged in August, 1864. He left Illinois and came to Howell county in 1876, where he lived until his death. Shortly after arriving in Missouri he united with the Congregational church and was ordained to preach. 'Uncle Franklin' as he was called, was not a great preacher as some call great, but was one in whom everyone had confidence. He was always on hand at preaching services, prayer meetings, and Sunday school to do what he could for the Lord and the church. He was not only a preacher, but was one of the best Sunday school class leaders in the church. He was present to marry young people and also to bury the dead. 'Uncle Franklin' was well known and loved by both young and old. Especially was he loved by the host of grand-children, there being thirty-seven grandchildren and twenty-three great-grandchildren. Truly it was a shock, and we are grieved to lose him as husband, father, grandfather, neighbor and church worker. But our loss is his gain, so we say 'Amen' to the Father of Lights who doeth all things well. His grandson, Rev. Franklin N. Deboard.

Joel married Margaret Ann "Ann" McKenzie on 21 Aug 1858 in White County, Illinois, USA. Margaret (daughter of Alexander H. McKenzie and Margaret "Peggy" Vineyard) was born on 24 Jan 1841 in Mt. Vernon, Jefferson County, Illinois; died on 6 Jul 1933 in Benton Township, Howell County, Missouri; was buried in Mountain View-Center Hill Cemetery, Howell County, Missouri.

However, given the fact that his occupation is not stated as "laborer" it seems equally possible that they are relatives or close acquaintances. John could be with them to be closer to school, to help at a time of illness or a variety of other reasons.]

John married Emeline Cunningham between 1861 and 1865 in Carthage, Jasper County, Missouri, USA. Emeline (daughter of James Cunningham and Martha Hayden) was born in 1838 in Indiana, USA; died in 1878 in Missouri, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Died:
Emmaline's daughter, Ida Frances Roush, was born 11 Feb 1878. Ida's death certificate indicates that she was born in Carthage [Jasper County], Missouri. It is likely that Emmaline died of complications in childbirth, although we do not have her death date. It is also likely that her death occurred in Carthage.

  \"S. P. Story Dies at Home of Daughter S. P. Story died at 10:30 o\'clock Sunday night at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Charles E. Lape, 7 1/2 miles southwest of West Plains. Mr. Story, who was 72 years old, became ill while visiting a daughter, Mrs. Harry Dugger in Tarko, Mo. He was brought home one week ago by his sons-in-law, Charles E. Lape of West Plains and Willie Carter of Amy. He was a pioneer of Howell county having lived on a farm near South Fork. He is survived by three daughters and two sons, Mrs. Lape of West Plains, Mrs. Dugger of Tarkio, Mo., Mrs. Willie Carter of Amy; George Story of Burlington Juction, Mo., and Sam Story of Water Valley, Ark. Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at Hill Crest Christian church at South Fork, by the Rev. Earl Mustion of Arditta. Burial was made in the South Fork cemetery.\"

Notes:

Name may have originally been Samuel Patton STORY, since that was a family name - since his father died when he was quite small, his mother may have imperfectlly remembered the middle name. Per Jack STORY.

May be buried at Fowler Cemetery, just off of highway 160 near Arditta. The Howell County Cemetery book lists an "S. T. Story" in that cemetery, with no dates or other data. The cemetery is listed roughly in the order of the grave, rather than alphabetically, which should have placed his stone near that of Vina Sharp, as well as a couple of other Story's. His stone does not appear in the cemetery, but there are a couple of places near where it should be that are empty. Possibly it crumbled. We cannot know with any certainty that this is where his grave is located, but it seems possible that his middle initial of "P." could have been misread as "T."

Samuel married Minnie Ellen Hill on 22 Mar 1884 in Howell County, Missouri, USA. Minnie (daughter of William A. Hill and Mary Frances Ward) was born about 1869 in Illinois, USA; died on 2 Jan 1899 in Pitts, Poinsett County, Arkansas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events:

• Anecdote: From Betty Dugger Bird Email, regarding the death of Minnie Ellen HILL:

  "After grandma\'s mom [Minnie Ellen Hill] died, she was \'laid out\' in the living room for a few days until a grave could be dug in the frozen ground. Grandma Hill [Mary Ward Hill] came and helped dress her and someone sat up 24 hours a day with the body. After she was buried, they all (the girls and Grandma Hill) came home and was faced with cleaning up everything where Grandma Storey been prepared for burial was laid out. Grandma said she always had horrible memories of that job."

Notes:

(Research):Found on ancestry.com Minnie Helen Hill Birth: 4 August 1869-- Sangamon Co, Jacksonville, IL Death: 2 January 1899 -- Near Pitts Spouse: Samuel Patterson Storey Parents: William Hill, Frances Ward

Name:
1884 marriage license application lists her as "Minnie H. Hill," so it was possibly Minnie Helen Hill?

Notes:

Married:
The Story Resource book offers their marriage date as 22 Mar 1884. However, the Howell Co Marriage book states: S. P. Story- Minnie M. Hill 23 Feb 1884, by J. W. Mustion, MG.

The latter must be in error, as the marriage license application is dated 22 March 1884.

It states Sam's age as 28, and Minnie's age as 14.
