	March 21, 1924 — Feb. 3, 2008 Bonnie Jean Higgins A private graveside service will be held for Bonnie Jean (Edwards) Higgins, 83, of Myrtle Point, on Friday, Feb. 8, at the Catching Creek Cemetery. Bonnie was born March 21, 1924, in Bandon, the youngest of four children and the only daughter of George Lewis and Bertha May Edwards, all of whom preceded her in death. She died Feb. 3, 2008, in Coos Bay. Bonnie's ancestors had lived in the United States since at least the mid-1700s. She attended grade school in a one-room school house up in the hills in Langlois. She attended Riverton High School for two years and then finished at Marshfield High School, graduating in 1942. Bonnie married her sweetheart, Lester Delizon Higgins, on March 21, 1943. Together they lived through the Great Depression, World War II, the Korean War, Kennedy's assassination, the Vietnam War, the first man on the moon, the development of the personal computer and Internet and two children. During the early years of their marriage, Bonnie was the cook in a logging camp up the Coos River, where Lester worked. Bonnie worked hard all her life, both at home and in a wide variety of jobs. Some of her jobs included mill work in Port Orford, working in the Millard School in the Langlois hills, Dick's Feed Store and she even worked for many years at the Langlois Market, where they now have a sandwich named in her honor. The thought of this sandwich always brought a smile to her face. Bonnie and Lester lived in Langlois for 30 years before moving back to Myrtle Point. Bonnie was always very active in her church wherever the family lived and was a member of the Langlois Community Church and the Myrtle Point Baptist Church. She had a great faith in God and trusted him always. Bonnie was a loving wife, dedicated mother, generous grandmother and wonderful great-grandmother. She loved her family, her friends and God. There just wasn't anyone on the earth she did not love. To know Bonnie was to love and respect her. Bonnie is survived by her husband of nearly 65 years, Lester of Myrtle Point; daughter, Connie McMurrain, granddaughters, Kerrie and Catie McMurrian, and great-grandson, Thomas, all of Myrtle Point; son and daughter-in-law, Calvin and Yvonne Higgins of Klamath Falls; grandson, Daniel and wife, Laurie Higgins and children, Calvin Thomas and Emmeline of Eugene; grandson, Michael and wife, Meilanie Higgins and sons, Devin and Zack of Orem, Utah; granddaughter, Elizabeth and husband, Steve Cormack and children, Jacob, Makenna, and Kyler all of Fort Collins, Colo.; and granddaughter, Joleane and husband, James Sharp and children, Logan and Taylor of Corvallis.

	Lester Higgins, 94, of Myrtle Point was born Feb. 24, 1916, in Myrtle Point, the fifth of six children to Delizon Smith Higgins and Leona Grace Fite. He died Feb. 6, 2011, in Myrtle Point at his home. As a young boy, Lester, like most little boys, loved baseball, hunting and fishing. He attended grade school, completing the eighth grade. He then went to work with his dad on their farm. Lester often spoke highly of his father and wanted little more than to be just like him and work alongside him. Lester grew up during the difficult times of the Great Depression, but was grateful for his parent?s lessons on hard work and the worth of money. Later in life, when he had his own children, Lester would pass those exact same lessons on to them. Lester met the love of his life, Bonnie Jean Edwards, at his home when she tagged along with her mother who had come to visit. They dated, stayed close to home, and married March 21, 1943. Together they lived through World War II, the Korean War, Kennedy?s assassination, the Vietnam War, the first man on the moon, the development of the personal computer and Internet and two children. During the early years of their marriage, Lester was a logger on the Coos River. Lester also drove a school bus for many years. Wherever they lived, they always grew a beautiful garden. Bonnie and Lester lived in Langlois for 30 years before moving back to Myrtle Point. Lester was always very involved in church wherever the family lived and was an active member of the Langlois Community Church and the Myrtle Point Baptist Church. He had great faith in God and trusted him always. Lester was a devoted husband and father, generous grandfather and wonderful great- grandfather. He loved his family and God. Lester?s only wish the past three years was to join his beloved wife, Bonnie, who passed away in February 2008. Lester said on more than one occasion that his one desire in life was that ?his children and grandchildren would know that he loves them and would give them any dang thing they wanted if he could.? They all knew that too, because that is just who he was. To know Lester was to love and respect him. He will be remembered as a great man, husband, father, grandfather and great-grandpa and his far-reaching love and influence will be felt for many years to come. Lester is survived by his daughter, Connie McMurain of Myrtle Point; granddaughters, Kerrie and husband, Justin Ferren and great-grandson, Thomas of Coquille and Caitlin and husband, Ryan Petry of Myrtle Point; son and daughter-in-law, Calvin and Yvonne Higgins of Klamath Falls; grandson, Michael and wife, Melanie Higgins and their sons, Devin and Zack of Orem, Utah; granddaughter, Joleane and husband, James Sharp and their children, Logan and Taylor of Forest Grove; granddaughter, Elizabeth and husband, Steve Cormack and their children, Jacob, MaKenna and Kyler of Fort Collins, Colo.; and grandson, Daniel and wife, Laurie Higgins and their children, Calvin, Emmeline, Leona and Jonathan of Eugene.

Calea attended high school in Manton, Calif., but graduated from Myrtle Point High School when her family moved back to Myrtle Point. Following high school graduation, Calea traveled with two ladies, Mrs. Alice Durham and Miss Ruth Bowen, doing evangelistic work. The Lord's work took Calea as far north as Ontario, Canada, on the Georgian Bay and as far east as Pennsylvania. Calea did all the driving and changing of flat tires, of which there were many. Roads weren't paved and there were many detours. She was to pay for the gas and the tires from each evening's offering. Sometimes it was only 31 cents. She also traveled with her father, spending in all, about 10 years in evangelism.

On May 20, 1938, Calea married Farrell Thornton Rankin in Pixley. They lived in Woodland for several years before moving to Myrtle Point around 1940. They bought a ranch on Catching Creek and raised sheep for many years. Following her husband's death on July 17, 1967, she continued ranching for several years. Calea was an accomplished historian and genealogist. She was historian for the United Brethren Church history in California and Oregon. Calea did extensive family research for the Marsters family, compiling a book of family history and genealogy.

	Funeral services for Bertha D. Ward, 89, of Myrtle Point, were held on Thursday, Jan. 4, at Amling/Schroeder Funeral Service, Myrtle Point Chapel, 404 Seventh St. Pastor Jim O'Conner officiated. Interment was at Catching Creek Cemetery. She was born June 21, 1911, in Catching Creek, to George and Mary (Johnson) Brown. She died Dec. 31, 2000, in Myrtle Point. She married Ralph McCall on Nov. 9, 1932. They lived up Ward Creek for a short time, later moving to Upper Floras Creek, where they made their home. Her six children were born there. The roads were so muddy, she had to ride a horse down out of the hills and stay with friends until the children were born. In 1946, they moved to the forks of Catching and Ward creeks. She was the clerk at the Floras Creek School for many years. They would board the teachers, and one of them, Ora McKinney, ended up marrying Bertha's brother, Archie. Bertha was a hard worker and always raised a large garden, which was her lifelong enjoyment, as well as her flowers. She loved to walk through the woods and enjoy the wildflowers, and she could name them all. She also loved to pick wild blackberries. She loved to cook and her door was always open to everyone. There was always a big table full of food. Her kids and grandkids were her life. She would cook them anything they liked, and always had one of them in her arms, rocking or singing to them the old songs from her childhood. She even made some songs up, such as "Roly-poly Daddy's Little Fatty." Ralph's health got bad, so in 1956, they moved to Central Oregon and ranched for a few years, and then returned to Myrtle Point. Ralph died Feb. 6, 1976. Bertha married Carl Ward on Sept. 20, 1991. He died in 1995. She is survived by her son, Harvey "Buck" McCall of Myrtle Point; daughter, Anna Hayes of Redmond; son, Russell G. McCall of Gold Beach; daughter, Glenda Schrader of Myrtle Point; son, Derald McCall of Madras; brothers, Archie Brown or Rainier and Arthur Brown of Grants Pass; 13 grandchildren; 24 great- grandchildren; and one great-great-granddaughter.

	Brutally Murdered Near Powers Word comes from Powers of the brutal murder of William Whobrey on the county road last night about two miles this side of that city. As the story goes he was returning to Broadbent in an automobile with his nephew, Clifford Elford, when engine trouble developed while they were engaged in adjusting the machinery, they were pounced upon by two or three unknown men and beaten. The instrument of death used on Whobrey was an auto lifting jack. There were two of these crude insturments that were found to have blood stains. While Whobrey's head was mashed to a pulp his nephew was only dazed from the blows and when he regained consciousness he went to a near by farm house and summoned aid. The authorities are not inclined to take Clifford's statement and he is being detained for further questioning. Clifford is 20 years of age.So far no motive has been disclosed for him to commit the rash act.The murder occurred at a lonely point on the road and it was close on to midnight. Whobrey had long resided in the Myrtle Point section and bore an excellent reputation and was a good citizen. He was a brother of John Whobrey, the well-known hide man, and close onto 60 years of age. The Sun (Marshfield, Ore.), June 3, 1926 The funeral For William Whobrey, who was murdered near Powers last Thursday night, was conducted Sunday morning at 10 o'clock at Catching Creek and burial was in the old family cemetery there. The deceased was placed beside the body of his wife and son. His father was also buried in this cemetery. Members of the I.O.O.F. lodge acted as pallbearers. An evangelist, whose name was not known here today, conducted the ceremony. About 25 Klansmen were reported present robed and masked, and participated in the service. The attendance of the Klansmen at the funeral has aroused interest as to whether William Whobrey or Clifford Elford, or both, belonged to the Klan. No announcement has been made. Father in Mashfield Nothing new developed yesterday in the case of Clifford Elford, charged with the murder of his uncle, Wm. Whobrey. "Kansas" Elford, the suspect's father, transacted business in Marshfield today and saw his attorneys, Gross, Murphy & Skipworth. He reported that his son was not worried. Mr. Elford says that there is no shadow of a doubt in his mind of his son's innocence, but believes him to be the unfortunate victim of a "frame up" of some kind.

	March 14, 1925 - Nov. 20, 2006 George Edward Wittick A graveside service for George Edward "Buster" Wittick, 81, of Warrenton, will be held at 1 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 29, at Catching Creek Cemetery in Myrtle Point. A reception will follow at 95536 S. Coos River Lane in Coos Bay. Buster was born March 14, 1925, in Coos Bay, to George and Mary Wittick. He died Nov. 20, 2006, in Vancouver, Wash. Buster came from a pioneer logging family, was raised in Coos Bay and graduated from Marshfield High School. He attended Oregon State College and went on to enlist in the U.S. Army Air Corps during World War II. After bombardier school, he deployed as a lieutenant to Venosa, Italy, where he flew as a radar observer on a B-24 for eight combat invasions. Following his service, he returned to Coos Bay, where he worked many years with his father, George, as co-owner, manager and salesman of Coos Bay Logging Supply. He traveled daily to logging camps, selling chokers, wire rope and explosives. Together, they expanded into Case tractors and hardware, ultimately opening two more logging supply stores in Reedsport and Newport. Eventually, Buster sold his stores and worked for close friend, George Walker, in Portland, surveying logging sites on Mount St. Helens. During this period, he lost his wife, the light of his life, Beverly June. He moved to a houseboat on the Willamette River and retired from the logging business. Never one to be idle, Buster continued to work in a local junk yard and sold cars for fun at a nearby dealership. While living at the river, he met and married Jody Bekins. They energetically remodeled the houseboat and enjoyed water activities on the Willamette. In 1996, Buster suffered a stroke. Despite this unexpected setback, Buster continued to enjoy life. Jody devoted her life to caring for him and worked hard to surround him with family, friends and great food. His last years were spent living near the beach in Warrenton. Buster is gone but never forgotten. He was a man larger then life and rich with family and friends. He had boundless energy, drive and a fascination with so many things; from his love of reading the classifieds to becoming an auctioneer. He loved his family and his Lord, and grew to appreciate all that much more through the years. His family will miss him, and they are blessed with a treasure chest of memories. Buster will always be remembered for his love of the land, hunting, RV trips and socializing with family and friends. He was blessed with numerous friends; too many to mention all. Especially close to him were Dell and Jeanette Brunell, Loal and Dottie Smith, George and Lola Walker, Hugh and Margaret Hamilton, Keith and Elaine Elliott, Kenneth and Dorothy Emery, Clarence and Marge Jensen, Dean McGuire, Ralph Sweet, Bill Campbell and Richard "Chappy" McCarthy. He also enjoyed the friendship of many of their children, Anna, Helen, Nancy and Connie Brunell; Cindy and Billy Elliott; Hugh, Karen and Roxanne Hamilton; and Tina and Bruce Emery. Most recently, Jody's granddaughter, Tiffany, held a special place in his heart. Buster is survived by his wife of 10 years, Jody; his devoted daughters, Cathy Brodie and husband, Jerry, Mary Lee Sergi and husband, Vince, and Barbie Cusick and husband, John; his proud sons, Thomas Wittick and Larry Moss; eight grandchildren, Jennifer, Jeffery B., Trent, Tasha, Jace, Jeffery C., Aaron, Tiffany; and two great-grandchildren, Megan and Mariah; and cousins, Judy Ann Mogan and husband, Mike, and Don Laskey.
