Shields, Samuel S. & Carrie M. (Gibbons)

History of Oregon

MR. AND MRS. SAMUEL S. SHIELDS

Mr. and Mrs. Samuel S. Shields have been prominently connected with the fruit raising and fruit shipping interests of Oregon for a number of years and have been instrumental in developing a business of very substantial proportions. Working together they have promoted their fortunes and the word helpmate has never been a mere idle term as applied to Mrs. Shields, for she has cooperated with her husband in all things that have tended to add to their property holdings and the development of their fortunes. Mrs. Shields is now the manager of the Shields Fruit Company of Freewater, Umatilla County. He was born in Butler county, Pennsylvania, in 1861, a son of James and Amanda (Smith) Shields. Spending his youthful days at the place of his nativity he completed his education by graduation from the Grove City College of Pennsylvania, and in March, 1884, he made his way to the west, locating first in Puget Sound, where he remained for a short time. He afterwards removed to Weston, Umatilla county, and taught school at Blue Mountain on Dry Creek. He took up a ranch in Morrow county, Oregon, in 1886, and through the intervening period has been identified with ranching, grazing and fruit raising interests.

Mr. Shields was married in Pendleton, Oregon, to Miss Carrie M. Gibbons, a daughter of George and Catherine (Reichert) Gibbons. Mrs. Shields was also born in Butler county, Pennsylvania. After they were married they removed to a homestead claim and proved up on the property, adding some improvements thereto. In the summer of 1889 they settled near Pendleton, where both taught school and in Morrow county both Mr. and Mrs. Shields were also identified with the profession of teaching.

After leaving Pendleton they removed to Weston, Umatilla county, and Mr. Shields engaged in buying wheat here and also taught school. In 1893 he took up his abode in Milton, Umatilla county, purchasing four and a half acres of land on which he began raising fruit, making his first shipment of strawberries in 1894. His shipments increased each year as he placed more land under cultivation and he now has twenty-seven acres in a fine apple orchard and seventeen acres in a prune orchard. Mrs. Shields was his able associate and assistant in all the work from the time they began raising and buying fruit, which they first sold by peddling to local customers but subsequently began making shipments. In 1898 they purchased a building used as a packing plant and shipped from that point, adding to the building as more space was demanded. In 1917 the present building was purchased, and it was about that time that Mrs. Shields sold her half interest in the business, but she is still the owner of seven hundred and sixty acres of fine wheat and stock land. The property holdings of Mr. and Mrs. Shields also include a half section of wheat land in Morrow county, and Mrs. Shields is the owner of the residence which they occupy. Mr. Shields is also a director of the Farmers' Security Bank. The labors of the one have fully supplemented and rounded out the labors of the other and theirs has been a notable success.

To Mr. and Mrs. Shields were born six children: Frank W., manager of Valley Fruit Company of Walla Walla, has a seventy-five acre fruit ranch, doing a one-half million dollar business yearly; Winnie, who is now the wife of Stillman Dempsey; Eva, deceased; Mildred, the wife of Floyd Coffman; Ferne, the wife of B. R. Byerley; and George D., of Walla Walla. Mr. Shields gives his political support to the republican party, thus manifesting his preference concerning many vital questions and interests of the day. He belongs to the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and both he and his wife are consistent members of the Presbyterian church. They enjoy the highest regard and goodwill of all who know them and they have a legion of warm friends in this section of the state

Walter Shields

YAKIMA, Wash. -- Walter Shields, who played a leading role in Washington's apple industry during a period of technological change that solidified the state's

position as the nation's top producer, died Sunday, relatives said. He was 92.

No cause of death was given.

Shields was secretary-manager of the Yakima Valley Growers-Shippers Association from 1952 to his retirement in 1989.

A native of Milton-Freewater, Ore., Shields succeeded his father, Frank Shields, as head of the trade group, responsible for marketing, keeping statistical information, lobbying on industrial and unemployment insurance issues and working on transportation.

He also was involved in such critical advances as the widespread adoption of controlled-atmosphere storage.

During Shields' tenure the state's apple production more than doubled, reaching 80 million boxes.
