PIONEER WOMAN DIES IN OREGON.

Mrs. Elizabeth J. Blanchard was Eighth White Woman in Valley; Came in 1859.

Mrs. ElizabethJ ane Blanchard, 88, who was the eighth white woman in the Walla Walla Valley when she came here in 1859, died Tuesday night at the home of her brother, Millage McElhaney, in Yamhill, Oregon.

Born July 7, 1844 in Arkansas, she came west across the plains from Little Rock in 1859. Her father took up a homestead on the Walla Walla River near the present site of the Whitman monument. At that time there were no schools or churches closer than The Dalles, Oregon.

She was married, Jun 7, 1861, to A. A. Blanchard, in Walla Walla. Blanchard ran a freight line between Walla Walla and The Dalles, Oregon and Boise, Idaho, in the early days. He died in 1898.

'Move to Eureka.'

About 1888, the Blanchards moved to Eureka flat, and ranched on this land upon which Eureka was built. They built the hotel at Eureka when the Northern Pacific Railroad was built through that section.

Mrs. Blanchard had lived about a year at Yamhill, and had lived in Walla Walla for nearly 20 years since leaving Eureka.

She had no children of her own, but reared four from childhood. Mrs. Clara Stutsman and Mrs. Dora Saltmarsh live at Walla Walla, while Mrs. Fredell Sharp, formerly of the Touchet River region, is now of Seaside, Oregon. Ambrose McElhaney of Spokane is a brother of Mrs. Statsman.

Mrs. Blanchard wore the oldest badge at a pioneers' meeting here two years ago. She was a member of the Church of God.
