44502 I1270  Trullinger  Frances Louise  11 Feb 1902  4 Aug 1969  Written by her sister, Elizabeth Trullinger Oliphant, in 1984

FRANCES LOUISE, February 11, 1902

Frances was having a struggle in High School. Her interests were not in the history books or mathematical tables. Mother and Father had wished her to attend Annie Wright's Seminary, in Tacoma, Washington, which was rightly regarded as a school of refined culture for girls of good families. At one time, she was enthusiastic about the idea, but changed her mind. She finished high school at Queen Ann High and enrolled at a Seattle Business College.

Being of marriageable age, Frances had several suitors. All very fine young men and well accepted by Mother and Father. Her association with these men originated at the Baptist Church where they enjoyed a very active social program.

One of her young admirers, Jimmy Gathings, was a charming boy from the deep South. He courted her with a weekly box of bitter-sweet chocolates. The rest of the family urged Frances to suggest a change as we much preferred the sweeter chocolate. But, no, "No Box" brand continued to arrive.

The young gentleman Frances finally met and fell in love with was John Hugh Griffith (Jack). Of Welch decent, he and his brother, Stanley, migrated West with their mother from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Jack was a fine looking Welshman with a great sense-of-humor. We all admired him.

Frances was at this time working in the lingerie department of the Bon Marché, a Seattle department store. She was very fond of lovely clothes and spent most of her money or salary to replenish her wardrobe. How I admired her lovely things and often waited many months for her hand-me-downs.

Due to her training in high school, Frances was a fine seamstress. She made her own graduation dress of white chiffon. It was exquisite.

Frances and Jack were married on September 19, 1922. It was a beautiful wedding. How important I felt as Maid-Of-Honor, in my picture hat and gown of orchid. The reception was held at our home on Queen Ann Hill. They honeymooned in Seaside, Oregon.

From this union were born three boys. John Fox Griffith, 12/17/25, Robert Dale Griffith, 3/6/33 and William Frederick Griffith, 8/17/42.

At the time of their wedding, Jack was employed by the Seattle Hardware Company. When their first child was only a few years old, our father, Fred Trullinger, purchased the Portland Seed Company in Portland, Oregon. John was persuaded to join him in an effort to rebuild the defunct business.

They rented a modest home in Portland on 57th Street. Not large, but adequate for a couple with one child.

After the Portland Seed Company became financially established, Frances and Jack purchased property in Eastmoreland, an affluent area in Portland. It was a beautiful piece of property along Johnson Creek. Lovely and expensive homes lined the street of Crystal Springs Boulevard.

The Griffith home, "which Jack built" was one of the finest on the boulevard. Jack, having worked many years with a building supply company, knew quality, so demanded the finest in merchandise and workmanship.

The Griffith family enjoyed many years in this environment. The boys attended local schools and Frances, the local social activities. Jack was a great asset to my father, working in the capacity of Buyer of supplies, etc. A quiet, trustworthy man, always a twinkle in his eyes, and a ready chuckle of inner merriment.

Their first son, John Fox Griffith "Jack", received his college degree from Reed College in Portland, Oregon. A highly credited college responsible for many Rhodes Scholars.

Jack's education was delayed by the advent of World War II. He enlisted in the U.S. Navy. Aside from his duties in the service, he accepted the many academic privileges offered him. He eventually earned his Master's and Doctorate degrees.

At the completion of the war, John Fox married Mary Filion, a beautiful blond student at Reed College. They eventually left Portland for Cincinnati, Ohio were Jack became head of the Biochemistry Department of Proctor & Gamble.

Robert Dale, the second son of Frances and Jack Griffith,
was born in Portland on March 6, 1933. Young Bob attended Rose City School the first two years and then transferred to Duniway when his parents moved to Crystal Springs Boulevard. After four years at Washington High, he registered at Oregon State seeking a degree in Business.

After two years of academic work (1952), Bob joined the Air Force and served three years in Houston, Texas. Houston was a desolate part of our country then, where the monotony of drilling, marching and shooting became unbearable. It was with some relief when he was shipped to France for one year of active duty.

France had suffered as a nation during WWII. For the people, there was desolation and hunger. The weather could be cold, very cold and Bob wrote home complaining of the extreme weather conditions and wondered if he would ever feel warm and comfortable again.

Transportation for the enlisted boys was non-existent but Bob often, on a weekend, explored the surrounding countryside on a bicycle. This diversion gave him an opportunity to mingle with the local inhabitants.

Upon returning home, Bob went to work for the Portland Seed Company. He then met and married Sally Dodge, February 15, 1958. From. this union were born three children: John Hugh Griffith, born August 7, 1959, Sally Ann Griffith, born April 15, 1961, and Teri Lynne, born May 2, 1964.

Shortly after their son's birth, the family was transferred to Spokane, Washington. The Portland Seed Company had recently purchased the Inland Seed Company and needed Bob's experience in building a strong company in this fertile field. They remained in Spokane for seven years, working with Vernon Wright, the Manager. It was during these seven years that their two girls were born.

On their return to Oregon., they purchased a home in Lake Oswego, overlooking Tryon Creek Park.

The children attended the local schools bringing credit to their parents, scholastically, as well as socially. Sally Ann was selected as Miss "Junior Miss" for the State of Oregon. In the National Contest, she was selected "First Runner-Up."

Sally furthered her education at the University of Washington in Seattle. During her second year, she met and married David Salaro. As of this date: 1984, they have two sons, Nickolas Anthony and Matthew David.

Teri Lynne, their second daughter, is also a very attractive young lady. She was selected Homecoming Queen during her sophomore year at Lake Oswego High. She is now studying at the University of Oregon in Eugene, Oregon.

John Hugh Griffith, their only son, is as handsome as his sisters are beautiful. He is employed by the Chas. H. Lilly Company. On September 3, 1983, he was married to Brenda Stumm King, daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Louis Stack King, Jr. of Lake Oswego, Oregon.

Bill, the third son of Frances and John Griffith, was born August 17, 1942. They now had a Jack,a Bob and a Bill, all strong names.

Bill was only eight years of age when his father passed away in 1950. Jack Griffith's untimely death was the result of a ruptured hernia. He had been subjected to two hernia operations. This warm beautiful man was taken from his family at the young age of 47 years.

After his death, Frances and Bill were left alone in this spacious home on Crystal Springs Boulevard. Young Bill was given many responsibilities far beyond his tender age. He checked all doors at night to secure the house against intruders, and became his mother's guide when she ventured out in the car.

Several years after Jack's passing, Frances met and married a man named Erwin Hahn, a resident of East Moreland and employed in the Trust Department of the First National Bank in Portland. Their marriage was a short and unhappy affair, ending in divorce.

Eventually, Frances sold her East Moreland home, purchasing a lovely, smaller home in Lake Oswego.

Bill, during this transition period, had grown into a reliable young man. He completed his education at Portland State College after previous work at Oregon State College. Shortly after completing his academic studies, he was married to Dianne Lorraine Hamilton.

Bill and Dianne have a lovely home on the shore of Lake Washington, on Mercer Island. Bill is involved in community work and contributes much input to the Chamber of Commerce Relations League.

Bill has matured in the seed business. He now manages the Seattle Office of the Chas. H. Lilly Company which manufactures some and distributes all garden products sold under the Lilly-Miller label.

Their great love of sports finds the family skiing on the slopes of Mt. Rainier, sailing in their boat on Puget Sound, swimming in Lake Washington, or engaging in land sports such as cross country running, track, soccer, etc.

The Bill Griffith family is widely diversified and much fun to be with. Dianne, with her spirited nature, involves her three lovely daughters in a variety of interests. She's also a great cook, so what more could one desire?

Note: At age 49, Dianne Griffith died on Mercer Island, Washington, 1 February 1992. Bill Griffith later remarried Shirley Caraway July 29, 1995.

(Interestingly, this information lists her name as "Mary A. Drollinger". And according to a note by Gordon L. Drollinger (ref General Note for Francis M. Trullinger), she was possibly married to a Francis M. Trullinger. Now, if Francis was also known as "Drollinger" and Mary therefore, carried the "Drollinger" surname and if she was FIRST married to Francis before her marriage to John Cranmore and continued to carry her first married name of "Mary A. Drollinger", that could explain why she is listed in this excerpt above as "Mary A. Drollinger" versus her maiden name of "Mary Ann Hershbuerger". DHD

Dear Gordon,

Thank you for the great material you sent me. I can clarify some of the information about Francis Monroe Trullinger - born 3 July 1858,Hamburg, Iowa Married to Mary Jane Shell, 24 October 1880 in Maryville MO (Mary Jane died 19 September 1892 in Maryville MO)

Married a second wife, Annetta Witham b. about 1871, sometime between 1892 and 1900, when the family moved from Maryville, MO to Carrington, Foster County, North Dakota.
Francis died 19 July 1931 in Wells County, ND.

Francis's children:

1. Nellie, didn't marry, lived in Maryville all her life, death was after 1960. My wife guesses that she was probably the oldest, perhaps born in 1881 or 1882. My wife's mother and her mother's sister would go to MO to visit her. Alan Trullinger drove the two women down to MO to attend Nellie's funeral.

2. daughter Laura Mabel, born 26 March 1883 in Maryville, MO. married George Aljets 29 March 1903 in Carrington ND died 23 March 1952 in Carrington, ND George & Mabel had 8 children

3. son Curtiss A. Trullinger, born 01 Apr 1885 in Maryville, MO; married about 1912 died 07 Mar 1974 in Carrington, ND

4. son Worley "Uncle Pete", born before 1892, who married and lived in Minneapolis. My wife recalls seeing him at a family funeral in1952. I'm guessing that he was the youngest, maybe born about 1887. (I'll check the 1900 Census for Foster County, ND and the census for Nodaway County, MO to check on some of the ages).

with his second wife, Annetta Witham ( died in ND December 6, 1921 at the age of 50), there was one daughter -

5. Gladys who was born and died in Carrington ND. She married a Mr. Lemert and they had one son.

44520 I11727  Trullinger  Francis Quarton "Trolly"  28 May 1914  22 May 1962  Barbara (Hall) Gaffney, born April 2, 1929 made her transition peacefully on August 20, 2015 at age 86, lovingly surrounded by her children, grandson & her niece who sang for her in her final days at home in San Bernardino. Barbara was preceded in death by her husband Vince, 2 months after their 50th anniversary (2002), brothers, Francis Trullinger (1962) & Bill Hall (2000), & sister, Lois Trusty (2005). She is survived by her children who were also her loving caregivers, Cheryl & Steve, both of San Bernardino, grandson Sean Gaffney, granddaughter Christina Flowers, & great grandson Ayden McLaughlin, all of Yucaipa. She is also survived by sister-in-law, Mickey (Hall) Rife of San Mateo, brother-in-law Jim & wife Margaret Gaffney of El Paso, TX, and her nieces & nephews. Barbara, a lifelong resident of San Bernardino was a loving wife & mother, devoted her life to her family to which we are eternally grateful. She graduated from San Bernardino High School, & then worked at Roy Davis Camera Shop in downtown San Bernardino where she ?colorized? black & white photos & was quite excellent at it. She was athletic, loved playing tennis & often camped right on the beach (in the good ol' days it was allowed) with a group of friends along with her brother Bill & Vince's sister Yvonne (Mickey). It was on one of these campouts that she met the love of her life, Vince Gaffney. In their 20's, they married & bought a home in San Bernardino where Barbara was a homemaker & lived there for over 60 yrs. She devoted her life to her husband, children & cared for her aging parents & in-laws when in need. It was evident she loved gardening as soon as you saw her yards. She landscaped her yard with many unique plants & her Dichondra lawns were immaculate. The backyard & pool held many gatherings always with music. Early on there'd be house parties with friends & neighbors that were always fun with music & dancing. We're so thankful we were introduced to music & dance at a very young age. Whenever we hear Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, Andy Williams, Tom Jones, Creedence Clearwater, Kenny Rogers, Aretha Franklin & James Brown, it brings back great memories. "Love Lifted Me" became a family sing-a-long after renting a beach house with long-time friends Betty & Howard Arnold & daughter Cindy as we'd all sing it together. Mom really loved the song; it will always hold special memories for us. Some of our fondest memories are of mom belting out songs while doing housework. Barbara & Vince were the first "daycare providers" for their grandson Sean which made many wonderful memories of their love for their grandson. Barbara was a unique, determined, but modest woman of few words who never wore her emotions on her sleeve. She wasn't religious, but more spiritual in nature. She had a belief in God, and taught us to live by "The Golden Rule". She selflessly did for others, never expecting anything in return. She was so strong & brave ? We never realized just how much until she pulled through a few medical situations. One being at age 77, fell off the kitchen table stepping down to a chair after fixing a window blind. She broke her leg & spent over an hour dragging herself to the living room to reach the phone. Another time she had a fall on the back patio where she kept trying, but couldn't get up. She spent over 30 hours on the cement in December's 40 degree weather overnight wearing only a shirt & pants until she managed to drag herself over to a plastic tarp and used it to cover herself. At the hospital, they couldn't even get a reading of her vitals. She pulled through and was considered the hospital's "Christmas Miracle" that year. When she put her mind to something, she didn't quit. If she was told she couldn't do something, she'd take it as a challenge and prove them wrong. This was the case even up to Jan. 2015 as she continued physical therapy in attempt to recover from her last fall in August 2014 where she had multiple fractures (pelvis in 2 spots, neck of L femur & upper L arm). By then her body was weak, & she never regained the ability to walk again. In late July the emphysema/COPD advanced suddenly after all the fires nearby and was just too much for her frail body. She was such an inspiration to her family & especially her grandson Sean, who wrote her a poem for her 85th birthday about how strong she was. She will be terribly missed, but forever etched in our hearts. Her service will be graveside at 11 a.m. Thursday, September 10, 2015 at Montecito Memorial Park & Mortuary 3520 East Washington St., Colton, CA 92324  tree1

44533 I1273  Trullinger  Frederick Chester   5 Oct 1912  20 Dec 1981  Listed in Standard and Poor's Register of Corporations, Directors and Executives 1975.

FREDERICK CHESTER, October 5, 1912
Frederick Chester Trullinger, the fourth child born to Fred and Grace Trullinger, had the distinction of being the only child born outside the family home. Why a small private hospital in Carlton, Oregon was selected is not known, but it was a wise decision. A few years previously, Mother had experienced a miscarriage and the doctors may have feared complications.
I, Elizabeth, only seven years old at the time, remember the night well. Being October, the night was cold and a brisk wind was blowing the remaining leaves from the limbs of the maple trees. Darkness had settled over the land and by four o'clock, lamps had been lighted and a warm fire glowed from beneath the black andirons. The setting was peaceful, but there was a restlessness in the air. An expectancy of something about to happen.
By nine o'clock the children were tucked away in bed, but Elizabeth, the restless one, could not sleep. She was troubled by the soft whisperings coming from her parent's room. Their movements were unnatural. Something was troubling them. Finally, a third voice penetrated the silence. It was the voice of Aunt Fanny McKern, a friend, neighbor, and the local telephone operator. Soon after her arrival, Elizabeth heard the family car (E.M.F.) drive away, leaving only silence. Jumping from her warm bed, she quietly opened the door to Mama and Papa's bedroom, only to find Aunt Fanny resting on the couch. She quickly informed Elizabeth that Mama had gone to Canton to get a new baby.
Excitement and anticipation ran high when two weeks later Mother Grace arrived home with a beautiful, fair-haired baby boy in her arms. Elizabeth immediately took charge as it was much more fun to have a real live doll to play with than a somewhat tattered rag doll.
Yamhill, Oregon was a very small town. If one stretched their sights in a wide circle, they might count somewhere between 200 and 300 residents. A farming neighborhood in the heart of the fertile Willamette Valley. Social events in Yamhill were few and far between. One entertained the Minister at Sunday dinner, one gossiped and relaxed with their neighbors at the monthly Quilting Bee. The local lodges had their potlucks and, at times, they sponsored a dance. Other than that, there was little activity outside the home.
When Frederick was nine months old, Yamhill celebrated carnival week. A baby contest was one of their side attractions. Similar to a country fair, babies between certain ages were brought to the testing officials and judged by local doctors as to bone structure, weight and appearance. Elizabeth was insistent in her desire to take Baby Frederick down to be judged. She washed him and dressed him in his Sunday-Best. As she combed his curly blond hair, she was assured that he was the finest baby in all the land.
When they arrived at the specified lodge room, Frederick was overcome with the crowd and general confusion. Clinging to Elizabeth's neck, he started crying, loud and clear. Prying him lose, and into the arms of the official, was a major job. He kicked and cried in open rebellion. Elizabeth was heart-broken as he was the most rambunctious child in a somewhat quiet atmosphere. She attempted to take him home, but the judge requested that she wait for the official verdict. Much to her surprise, Frederick was pronounced the winner. Her pride was overwhelming but, of course, she knew he was perfect in every aspect.
Early in 1915, when Frederick was approaching his third birthday, our father was formulating plans for a motor trip into Southern California. The family would view the Panama Exposition in San Francisco and then drive on to San Diego, California for the World's Fair. Such a trip was an unheard of endeavor in those days, especially with a frail wife and four small children, aged 13, 10, 7 and 2. Our means of travel was the 4-year old EMF Studebaker which was
to be equipped with all essentials necessary for a tedious trip over unknown terrain. Two large black boxes were constructed to fit firmly on the two running boards. One box would carry sleeping equipment and clothing. The second box would house cooking utensils and food. A tent and cots were wedged in on top of the boxes for daily and convenient removal. The convertible top, which was usually folded behind the back seat, was raised over the car and fastened firmly. There were no side panels or any form of protection from the cold, the rains or the burning sun. Our extra water was carried in a large canvas bag and slung over the radiator cap.
A few days before our departure, little Frederick was playing in and out of the car. His knee accidentally came in contact with his chin causing him to bite down on his tongue, cutting it through. It was a serious accident and threatened a delay in our departure. Our enthusiasm was at high pitch so preparations continued.
The townspeople of Yamhill gathered on our lawn hours before departure. Warnings, free advice and various suggestions were freely and generously given. Did we realize that we had to cross mountains where, in spots, there would be only dirt trails? Did we have ample water and food to carry us for days between towns? Had we planned on encountering wild animals, and how about snakes, which were in abundance? What would we do if our car broke down? There were no gas stations along the way-- only garages at great distances apart. Oh dear. There were no answers, but fortunately, our excitement and enthusiasm could not be suppressed.
With tears flowing down their cheeks, our friends and neighbors wished us a safe return as the overloaded EMF moved on its way to California. Father, Mother and Frederick in the front seat, tucked up behind were Frances, John and Elizabeth. Our first destination was McMinnville, where we would join Dr. & Mrs. Wright. They would travel along with us as far South as San Francisco. (Details of the trip, written by my father, included in his assortment of trips-- See FL Trullinger stories.)
In 1917, when the family left Yamhill to make their home in Seattle, Frederick was young enough to accept the transition without the emotional involvement we older children encountered. When he reached the proper age, he was registered in John Hay School, only a block from our home on Knob Hill. Here he continued until our parents purchased a home at 2133 2nd Avenue West & Boston Streets. He attended Coe School for one year, then transferred to West Queen Anne Grade School where John and Elizabeth studied.
Frederick was not a happy student at West Queen Anne, so after a year, he returned to Coe School where he remained until graduation into Queen Anne High School. His first two years in high school were fun years and studying the three R's took second place. The extra-curricular affairs were high on the activity scale.
Contrary to the universal talents of the Trullinger Fox clan, Frederick became interested in music. He was a member of a small band that often played for school affairs. Frederick played drums. His mother and father were somewhat leery of this trend in his nature, nevertheless, they went along with the idea, providing him with the essential equipment.
After two years at Queen Anne High, Frederick transferred to West Seattle High School where he remained for half of his Junior year.
According to his parents, they did not believe he was applying himself to his studies, so shortly after the Christmas holidays, he was accepted at Moran School in Atascadero, California. Moran placed great emphasis on the more fundamental subjects necessary for college preparation. It was a small school of 100 high school students and 75 junior high students.
Frederick greatly enjoyed his learning experience in Atascadero. It was a very small town located in the valley, not far from the San Louis Obispo Agricultural College.
Fred and his friends soon became acquainted with many of the townspeople and readily accepted their meager offerings of entertainment. They boasted of one moving picture house, a dance hall and few shops where necessities could be purchased.
Needless to say, Frederick was greatly missed at home. At the slightest whim, Mother was on the phone, checking his welfare. How concerned we were when he was bitten by a poisonous spider. His arm was swollen many times larger than normal and hospitalization was necessary as the poison, moving throughout the blood stream, left him weak and dizzy.
Another hurried trip followed: surgery for the removal of his appendix. Prior to the surgery, the school authorities called saying Frederick was in great pain and immediate surgery was important. They could not proceed without an OK from his parents. Mother and Dad were out for the evening so I was pressured to take the responsibility and OK the surgery. This caused considerable trepidation on my part, but thank goodness, the surgery was successful and Frederick recovered quickly.
While a student at Moran, Frederick's talent for writing was recognized. While in his Sophomore year, he was offered a scholarship of $50 per month for editing their newspaper. He readily accepted and according to the instructors, did a fine job.
His devotion to duty did not, however, interfere with his love of fun. On a certain day in spring, the Seniors quietly planned the customary "Sneak Day." Instead of attending
classes, they left the premises for a "day on the town." With plenty of beer to bolster their devil-may-care attitudes, they proceeded to get tipsy. On their return to the school, the reprimands were immediate. Frederick, sensing the seriousness of their fun experience, immediately wrote his mother explaining his version of the exploit. The school immediately wrote his father, giving their version. Thinking to spare one another, Mother said nothing to Father and he, in return, suppressed his letter. The facts eventually came to their mutual attention.
Our father at this time wrote a masterful letter of advice to his son. Unfortunately, the letter was not preserved for posterity, but the words and advice remain in Frederick's mind. Dad ended his letter with a quote from the "Good Book": "The way of the transgressor is hard."
The matter did not end with an exchange of letters. Frederick was among the chosen few to be suspended for an indefinite period. The school was at this time under great financial strain. The payment of $50 a month to a student for writing a newspaper was considered extravagant. Frederick firmly believed his suspension to be a way out of. Their scholarship contract.
When threatened with a suit, Moran reconsidered, paying Frederick for the time he was suspended and formally asked him to return to the school as student and editor of the school paper. They also offered him a reduction in his tuition of $500.
After considerable cross-fire, the settlement was mutually accepted. Frederick would return to the school and be granted the original $50 per month compensation. Mother and Dad would pay the acceptable and previously confirmed $500.
Eventually the Moran School closed its doors and ceased to exist as an educational institution. The buildings are at this time, (1981), occupied and used as a State Medical Hospital for the mentally ill.
Frederick returned home in 1933 and in 1934, entered the University of Washington studying Advertising. At the end of the year, he decided he had all the formal education he needed, so joined forces with his father as an employee of the Portland Seed Company. Needless to say, his father was very pleased.
Frederick applied himself well and in 1935 was sent from Portland to Seattle to open a retail store on 2nd Avenue. Once established, he returned to Portland in an executive position.
White working in Seattle, Frederick met and fell in love with a pretty and vivacious girl from Paris, Texas. Sarah Frances Lattimore was, at the time, living in Seattle with an aunt and uncle. Dr. and Mrs. James Potts. A student at the University of Washington, Sarah enjoyed many intellectual advantages as well as a gay social life.
Sarah was the only child of Grace and William Lattimore. During his career, Bill, had played professional baseball with the Cleveland Indians and, returning to Texas, ran a mercantile business. Around 1919, he contracted tuberculosis and traveled to Colorado Springs, Colorado for rest and recuperation. Though he had recovered from tuberculosis, he caught pneumonia and died. Sarah was seven-years-old. Her mother accepted a position with the Paris Library System where she remained until retirement.
Sarah grew up with a working mother and without the discipline of a father. She did, however, have an engaging personality and a physical attractiveness which awarded her many friends and admirers. When she reached maturity, it was believed prudent to send her to her relatives in Seattle where she would have the advantage of a higher education and the guidance of conscientious, mature relatives.
Frederick and Sally were married during the Christmas holidays, December 26,1936.
Let us take a quick look at this happy occasion.
Christmas day was a happy day, when all members of the Fred L. Trullinger family met to exchange gifts and to feast at the bountiful table of turkey and all its accompaniments. This Christmas dinner was especially gay and happy when, all of a sudden, Frederick rose from his chair and announced that he was leaving for Seattle to be married to Sarah Lattimore. Reactions were diversified. Before we recovered from the startling news, Mother jumped to her feet and said in emphatic terms: "Frederick is not getting married without my presence at the ceremony!" Quickly, bags were packed. Frederick, accompanied by his mother and father, were on their way to a wedding in Seattle.
In spite of the seemingly unplanned ceremony, the service was very impressive. Mother and Dad had an opportunity to meet Dr. and Mrs. Potts, as well as Sarah's mother, Grace Lattimore and grandmother Mrs. Gutherie. They found them to be fine people and gladly welcomed them into the family.
The year 1938 was the beginning of a new life-pattern for Frederick and Sarah. A good friend and neighbor, Harry Craig, discussed plans for an all-electric model home to be built on property adjacent to the Trullinger home. It sounded like a wise and sensible move for Frederick to purchase the property and home, upon completion. They would work with the architect in planning the home to satisfy their needs and desires. Both parties would benefit. According to the contract, the house, upon completion, would be opened to the public, advertising the advantages of an all-electric home. Frederick would in turn, receive all electrical equipment at wholesale price. It was indeed a lovely and efficient home and received the coveted Medallion for electrical efficiency.
In August of 1941, Frederick was called for training in the Service of Uncle Sam. He was to report to Cheyenne, Wyoming for his basic training. Frederick was 29 years of age, married, no children, but with business responsibilities. He not exempted. Brother John, age 33 years, not married, but responsible for several business enterprises, was called by the Marine Corp. to report to Indian Island for basic training. He was
not exempt. Every household was shed of their youth. Mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers shed tears as they worked and prayed for their safety.
After completion of his basic training, Frederick was selected for OCS, or Officer's Candidate School. He remained in Cheyenne an additional three months, at which time, Sarah joined him. The first of the following year, his company was activated and shipped overseas to England. Here he remained until June 30 of 1944, when shipped across the Channel to France. He now wore the insignia of 1st Lieutenant, but was shortly promoted to Captain. Frederick's leadership abilities were quickly recognized as he assumed the position of Company Commander. They were assigned to the XIX attached corps.
Because of the outstanding exploits of the XIX Corps, I believe a brief resumé might proudly be scanned. This information was gathered from the "Le Tomahawk" special addition from D-Day to Germany - East of the Siegfried Line. Also utilized was portions of material from "The Siegfried Line to Victory." This material was graciously loaned to me from the records preserved by Capt. F.C. Trullinger.
"On July 10, 1944, the XIX Corp crossed the English Channel into Castilly and Isigny, the largest town that showed real evidence of naval and air bombardment. Stopped first by German's encounter offensive, then on to St. Jean and De Daye.
By July 18, after a long and bitter battle at St. Lo, the city was captured. On South they pushed to "Mortain" where the final hopes of the Germans to cut off the American drive to Brittany, were dashed.
After reaching Alecon, they started North, crossing the Sein and the Somme River and had the destinction of being the first allied troops to enter Belguim.
By September 19, the Corp faced the Siegfried Line. Launching a powerful offensive, they cracked the concrete and steel portions of the Siegfried Line on its front, opening up a hole eleven miles wide and four miles deep. This cut the last escape route from Aachen. This was tough fighting every inch of the way. The Germans had brought in extra troops as many had been captured and many had been fleeing. Their resistance and retreat was conducted as fast as possible in order to prevent encirclement and to organize a defense of their homeland.
On October 4, (the day before Frederick's birthday), the Germans launched four serious counter attacks, all of which were repulsed. Taking advantage of the cloudy weather, the Luftwaffe engaged in the greatest air activity yet seen by the corps' front. Strong German counter attacks caused considerable loss of property and casualties. By night-fall, the lost ground was regained and the division continued on. The fighting was ferocious.
From D-Day to October 15, fifty-five enemy airplanes were shot down, one hundred sixty bridges built and four major rivers crossed.
On October 22, the XIX Corps became attached to the 9th Army. By November 16 through the 30th, the infantry divisions drove into the desperate German resistance. They committed their best and their defense was intense, but there was no resistance against the American troops. The captured German officers were unanimous in their praise of the tactics employed in this corps? drive; complaining that they were constantly confused as to the direction and strength of the forces.
Planning the drive across the Roer was well underway when the Germans counter-offensive forced a postponement. A change in the defensive was necessary. This was the first time this had happened since the corps came into action in Europe. By rearranging strategy and movement of troops, the Americans met the Germans at the Western end of the Bulge and almost completely destroyed the powerful German 2nd Panzer Division. In the bitter cold of the German winter, the corps held the North shoulder of the Bulge and even undertook local attacks to straighten out the line and to keep the German troops busy. In an old Monastery at Kornelimenster, the troops spent a cold and relatively cheerless Christmas, mindful of the bitter fighting and suffering going on farther South.
Finally, on February 5, the Corps decided to cross the Roer River. Up the Roer were two great dams-- the Schwammenauel and the Erfttalsperre, built by Germans to delay the enemy forces trying to penetrate into the Rhineland. When our troops attempted to cross, a wall of water could be released to sweep down upon them. The XIX Corps knew the danger and attempted to bomb them out, but failed. The Germans blew the spillway, hoping to raise the level and drain the lake, in an attempt to hold the enemy back as long as possible. Our men could not wait for the river to subside, but as soon as the current diminished, they attempted to build bridges. A total of 15 bridges were built. It was the most difficult of all crossings as our men were under constant fire. One bridge was rebuilt 9 times.
The corps moved rapidly, fooling the enemy by unexpected maneuver and positions. in ten days, the XIX took more than 11,000 prisoners, 353 towns and over 300 sq. miles of territory at the price of a proportionately small casualty list.
The XIX Corps climaxed its brilliant record in the war in Europe by a dazzling display of speed and efficiency in the final push that toppled the German army in the West and helped to finish the war.
On March 23, the crossing of the Rhine began. This was completed by the 29th and the troops were on their way East. A great pincer movement was organized to cut off the Ruhr district. The drive went on day and night. A long, narrow, threatening, armored finger was thrust deep into Germany.
Then began the successful accomplishment of one of the biggest operations ever conducted by one Corp. Over 300,000 German troops were captured and the last remaining industrial area of Germany was cut off.
Great numbers of depots, airfields, factories, stores, rolling stack and dumps fell into the American hands. The roads began to fill with thousands of Russians, French, Yugoslavs, Poles, Dutch, Belgians, Hungarians and Italians.
Finally, on April 30, the allies made contact with the Russians. The task of the XIX Corps was over.
Frederick was stationed at Brandenburg when the war ended. As stated, due to the strategy of the planners, they were held up from entering Berlin. The task was allotted to the Russians. However, thousands of German troops were surrendering to the Americans, but the Russians demanded the role of executioner and annihilator, leaving Berlin in a rubble and its innocent women and children slaughtered.
Prior to the capture of Berlin, Frederick and his men captured and operated a train carrying ammunition to the Elbe River. The ammunition to be used on an assault on Berlin. Needless to say, it was not used as the Russians, with verbal support of Roosevelt and Churchill, were granted the victor's prize.
The American troops wished to march on Berlin on July 4, but for fear of propaganda, were not allowed to parade until July 5, to December 7, 1945. Following this difficult period, Fred and other officers were granted a ten-day leave at Government expense, to the Riviera in Cannes, France. Here they enjoyed the finest hotel, nightclubs, movies, fine food and recreation. They deserved it all, and much more.
After a week or ten days in England, they boarded the Queen Mary, along with 25,000 other men and were on their way back to the United States.
Embarking in New York, Frederick was sent to Fort Dix and finally to Fort Lewis in Washington, where he was honorably discharged from the Quartermaster Corps of the 9th Army.
Frederick received no physical injuries from his war experience. He did, however, return home a man older than his years. A man fully aware of the greed, the brutal suffering inflicted upon our fellow men and the inhuman and ruthless direction we pursue to reach our goals.
Within his company, loss of life was minimal. Two men were lost by sniper fire, one man in Holland was blown from his jeep while driving over a land mine. Two men in the artillery also lost their lives. There was great rejoicing in all the land when our boys returned home. We had prayed daily for the safety of our young men, and especially for Frederick and John. Now we gave thanks.
Frederick immediately resumed his work with his father at the Portland Seed Company. What a relief it was for his over-burdened father who had literally run three businesses during the war years. In 1948, Father, without fanfare, or public acclaim, made Frederick President of Portland Seed Company. The position was accepted with modest dignity. In 1955 the well known Chas. H. Lilly Co. was purchased by Father and the Portland Seed, Inland Seed and Seattle Seed were all merged under The Chas. H. Lilly name.
Frederick proved to be a very capable head of the rapidly expanding company. With great dignity, he earned the respect of all who knew him. One business associate expressed the opinion of many when he remarked, "Fred Trullinger was at all times a perfect gentleman."
Aside from his intense loyalty to his company, Frederick diversified his interests. In 1957, through 1958, he served as President of the Oregon Feed and Seed Association; 1959, President of the Pacific Seedsman Association; 1967 through 1973, President and Member of the Board of the Catlin Gabel School. He participated in local affairs through membership in the Episcopal Church, Royal Oaks Golf & Country Club, and Portland Rotary Club. It was during this period that Frederick, in association with two prominent Vancouver men, established the Bank of Vancouver.
During the war years, while Frederick was in the service of his country, Sarah rented their Vancouver home and established a temporary home with us, the Oliphants, in Seattle. She minimized the long days of worry and waiting by working at the Portland Seed Company's retail store.
With the signing of the Armistice, Fred returned home and life was resumed on a normal basis. In 1946, a daughter, Susan Elizabeth was born. In 1950, a son, Frederick Lattimore was born, completing the family unit.
The children enjoyed growing up in this quiet Vancouver, Washington neighborhood, only a few hundred feet from their grandparents' home. Both children attended the local elementary schools. Susan graduated from Hudson's Bay High School in 1964 and went on to received her diploma and BA degree from the University of Washington in 1969. Her freshman and sophomore years were spent at the University of Arizona, Tucson. One semester of her senior year she studied at L ' Ecole De Beaux Arts in Avignon, France.
Frederick Lattimore, who had the family nickname ?Moe?, graduated from Catlin Gabel High School in 1968 before entering Menlo College at Menlo Park, California. After graduation in 1972, he worked briefly in construction in Sun Valley, Idaho. With the coming of winter, he moved to Seattle where he was employed by the Seattle-First National Bank. Here he remained until 1976 when he returned to Portland to join his father at The Chas. H. Lilly Co. Shortly before the death of his father, Moe rose to the ranks of President of the Chas. H. Lilly Co. Now he is called Fred.
Susan's first work experience after college was with Safeco Insurance Co. It was an office job, designing forms, letterheads and envelopes. Although she was pleased to be making $400 a month, the job was not stimulating or creative. She left after nine months to join a friend from, Robin Andrews, to establish a graphic design business in Seattle.
In 1972, Susan was asked to join a class action suit against Safeco on the plea of unequal treatment of women employees. The case took a long time, signing on hundreds of women who had worked for Safeco and then working its way though the courts. By 1976 the plaintives, who numbered in the hundreds, won the case and compensation of over $1,000,000?one of the largest class action suits of the day.
In 1973, Susan traveled around the world, on her own. She spent six or seven weeks visiting a college friend in Japan where they traveled throughout the island of Honshu. From there she went on to Hong Kong, Bangkok, Tel Aviv, Istanbul, Paris and New York visiting friends in some places and just exploring cities in other places. Her journey lasted four or five months.
In 1974, with her experience as a graphic designer Susan joined a friend, Judy Rose, who had experience in advertising sales. Together they started The Fox Publishing Company (Fox after Grace Fox Trullinger) in Portland, Oregon, to publish "Portland and the Pacific Northwest", an annual hard cover guide book which was placed in all the rooms and suites of the city's leading hotels for travelers? use.

"FRED TRULLINGER, THE MAN"
"After graduation from Monmouth in 1893, my purpose in life was two-fold. I wished to establish myself in an occupation or business which would sustain a family. I wished also to marry a certain young lady I had admired since childhood;
her name, Grace Fox. Grace was only five years old when I saw her on the train, traveling from Forest Grove to North Yamhill, Oregon. She, with her small brother, Chester, her father, John Fox, her aunt and uncle, the Honorable Mr. & Mrs. Lee Laughlin and friends, had attended the funeral of the lovely Frances Stewart Fox, the beloved wife of John Fox and mother to five year old Grace and three-year old Chester Fox. Such a beautiful child was Grace Fox. A soft, white complexion, green eyes and long, dark brown curls flowing softly over her shoulders. Frederick LeRoy was only seven years old when he first looked upon this child of five. He ran to his mother and told her about the pretty little girl he had discovered. As Frederick passed from boyhood into manhood, he retained this memory of the little girl on the train. In 1900, at the mature age of twenty-six years, he proposed marriage to Grace. She accepted with the promise that he get the consent of her father, John Fox, of Astoria, Oregon. He wrote a very persuasive letter. In part, he said: 'I truly love your daughter, and while I am a very poor boy, as to money, I have very good prospects coming up.' His reply was, 'If you marry my daughter, you have very good prospects.' John Fox gave his consent and they were married on November 29, 1900, at the home of the Honorable Mrs. Lee Laughlin in North Yamhill, Oregon."

F L Trullinger Brings Electricity to Yamhill, Oregon
1902 - 1912 , Yamhill, Oregon
MY FATHER'S DREAM
(His Own Story)
"One of my first ventures after getting married was bringing electric lights to North Yamhill, in 1901. Back in 1888, 1 had, as a boy, lived in Astoria, Oregon where Uncle John Trullinger had installed the first electric lights. 1 was very much interested in his operation from a business standpoint, so when my family moved back to our home and mill at North Yamhill, 1 dreamed up the thought of having electric lights to replace the old oil lamps for street lights, as well as lights for the homes. In 1902, 1 asked my wife's uncle, Lee Laughlin, for a loan of $2,000, which was about the installed cost of the machinery and equipment necessary for the plant. Fortunate for me, Uncle Lee was in agreement and loaned me the $2,000. My father and 1 went down to Astoria to consult with my Uncle John. 1 asked him if he thought it wise to put so much money into such a small town light plant. He advised me to forget the idea as the income from the plant was too
small to ever pay a return. On our way home, my father stopped to sell some flour to a logging plant nearby. When we reached Portland, I had made up my mind to go ahead with the electric deal, in spite of the advice from Uncle John.
I had a full day to kill before meeting my wife, Grace and my father, coming in to join me from Yamhill. So I got busy. 1 first contacted the electric supply house and bought 200-16CP legats, 1815W generator with 2200 volts, 2 transformers,
#14 hard drawn bar copper wire with telephone insulators and rubber-covered wire for installing of lights. I also hired an electrician to come to Yamhill to install the plant. All this was done before I met Grace and my father. The first words my father said were, "I suppose you have given up the idea of the electric plant?" I said, "No, I have not. As a matter of fact, 1 have bought all the machinery
necessary and it is on its way to Yamhill by freight train. From the dock where my father had landed, we went out to see my sister, Mary, who was in nurses' training at the Good Samaritan Hospital. As we were leaving the hospital, I left Grace and my father to visit O.A. Thornton, an old friend and classmate of 1893. at Monmouth, Oregon. While I was gone, my father asked Grace if she knew about my purchase of the light plant. She said, "yes", she knew. He said, in reply, "I'm afraid Fred is a goner."1 This was rather a discouraging remark to tell a young wife that her husband was "a goner." (It didn't exactly work out that way.) 1 hired ten or twelve men to dig holes for the heavy green fir poles which we set up by main strength and awkwardness. It was in January of 1901 and we had to work in
rain, mud and snow, in temperatures below freezing. Some job. I installed the generator in my father's flour mill, using about 25 horse power. The flour mill was located one and one half miles west of the town of Yamhill. I paid him $50 per
month to start the plant in the evening and to shut it down at daylight. (No lights during the day hours). I charged $1 a month per 16 C. P. light. The City paid me $25 per month for 25 street lights. I started out with a gross income of about $200 per month, which gradually increased each year. Hope Perry ran the Post Office and collected for the lights, the water and the telephone. (The water was brought
in from the Hutchcroft Creek, 3 miles west of town.) I charged one dollar per year for switching. The users built their own lines. I furnished the switchboard and gave them free use of the long distance line into McMinnville where we connected with the Pacific Telephone Company out of Portland. The first year, the telephone exchange board was in the drug store, run by Dr. Coffeen. The second year, it was moved to the Rude home, with Bell Rhudes' sister as operator. Dr. coffeen was too busy to give adequate service to the users. In 1900 my brother, Carl, went out on his own, working in a gold mine in Idaho. Work was hard and pay not so
good, so after one year, he traveled to California where he got a job with the Pacific Lighting Corporation. He worked out of Los Angeles installing a new power line. It was .dangerous work and my mother was quite worried. She asked me
to sell my Yamhill light plant to Carl. To please her and to ease her anxieties, I did so. Carl operated the plant for ten years and then sold out to the Portland General Electric Company for about $15,000.00. When I sold the plant to Brother Carl, it was paying about $350 per month gross income. I soon made enough to pay Uncle Lee his loan of $2,000. In those days, $2,000 was a lot of money. Uncle John would call it "chicken feed," but 1 got a lot of satisfaction proving my judgement was right and the Yamhillers were enjoying electric lights a long time before other little towns in the Willamette Valley. After Brother Carl sold the electric plant, he built a new home just west of Yamhill by Ii- miles on the Darees Farm. He also rented a shed roof warehouse which I had built on the back end of my General Merchandise Store. Here he operated a feed mill for several years and also helped me in the operation of my store. This venture did not work out well for
Carl, so he closed out the feed mill and bought the John Johnson Farm, some three miles from town. In 1909, I took Ray Gill and my brother-in-law, Chester
Fox, as partners in a prune orchard deal. We bought 40 acres from Abe Blackburn, each owning an undivided 1/3 interest. 1 looked after the planting of the trees and the cultivation and pruning. Ray Gill lived in Spokane and Chester
Fox lived in Astoria, Oregon, so most of the working responsibility was mine.
In 1912, Chester Fox and 1 bought 60 more acres of land adjoining the Blackburn track and planted it to prunes. My wife, Grace bought 9 acres of the Blackburn track which was also planted to prunes. Later, 1 bought a prune dryer on this lot at a cost of $11,000. It was in operation for about ten years. It finally burned to the ground. My insurance covered $6,000 of the loss. I then sold my interest in prunes to Roy Fryer for $5,000.Altogether, as a farming adventure, I had put in 20 years of my management for free. I spent about $100,000 in experience and had an income of $99,000 in return on the sales of prunes. On the whole deal, it showed a loss of $1,000. I came out very lucky considering that for several years the price of prunes was down to 2 to 3 cents per pound. But, like the man who bought a pig for $10, fed it $10 worth of feed and then sold it for $20-- he justified his pig deal by saying he had had the use of the pig all that time. I had had the use of the prune orchard for 20 years and it had cost me only $1,000."

Copy of letter written by Gabriel Trullinger to his brother Daniel, spring of 1848:
Dear brother: Farewell. A long farewell. I have followed you thus far. I can follow you no farther. From the pleasant vales on Deer Creek to the green spot on Coal Creek, thence to the broad plains of Iowa, extending from innocent childhood up to the meridian of life, yea verging towards old age. But at this point our journey through life together must end. We shall see each other no more. My bones must shortly lie beneath some grassy nook of Iowa and yours behind the western hills. But in that day they will be found. Our parents and Andrew lie buried on Graham Creek, our youngest brother near the turbid waters of the Wabash, while our youngest sister lies on the Des Moines. Yet God will bring them all forth. Adieu dear brother, a long adieu. Depart in peace, obey God and love your country and be happy. And remember me when far behind the great hills. And although far removed from each other I hope strangers will act the kinsmans part and bear my body to its long resting place. And when you retire to some lonely spot beside some waterfall and view this address then remember that the hand that wrote it may be still in death. Farewell dear brother, a long farewell.
D.T. from G.T.

As Daniel Trullinger was leaving Iowa by covered wagon for the Oregon country, Gabriel was unable to tell his brother goodbye so he wrote this letter. The places mentioned show the family had travelled from Pennsylvania, to Ohio, to Indiana, to Illinois, to Iowa and to Oregon.

OUR PROUD PAST
The first year in Oregon, Gabriel worked in Oregon City at his native trade of cabinet making. Nathan and Frances headed ten miles south of Oregon City and settled on Milk Creek near what is now Union Mills. They built a cabin and started to cultivate the land. A donation land claim was filed for this land in the Trullinger name.

In 1849, the excitement of the gold rush broke. Father Daniel with sons, Gabriel and John Corse, travelled by horseback to California. Daniel, being forty seven years old, soon found panning gold too hard a work for his age, gave up and returned home. Gabriel and John stayed for two years and returned home with a small fortune, having sometimes panned $80 per day in gold. John is said to have brough back $18,000. The United States was offering free land for the claiming in Oregon - 320 acres for single people and 640 acres if you were married. Apprehensive that gold might become overly plentiful and land therefore would become more valuable, Gabriel and John decided to return to Oregon and look for land to settle. They took the schooner Montague by sea for the return trip from San Francisco to Portland. John later related the experience thus: "The vessel was a fore and aft schooner of about 500 tons and was called the George H. Montague. Her commander and owner was Captain Montague, a typical Yankee skipper, a born sailor and a prodigy in the use of an unlimited vocabulary of oaths. A cargo of general merchandise was taken on and with eight cabin passengers and about twenty in the steerage, the schooner set sail from San Francisco on 1 January 1851. A very pretty run was made up the coast and just before dark on the evening of 4 January, we hove in sight of the Columbia, where Captain Coates, a Hudson Bay Company pilot, and the one who lost the ship Peacock on Peacock spit, was taken on board. A stiff gale was blowing and the heavy seas were breaking over the then dangerous bar until it resembled a boiling caldron of seething waters. To cross in was impossible, and the little vessel was put out to sea. The storm continued for eighteen days, but during that time we sighted the river twice each day. The sails were torn into shreds, and when at last we were able to reach port there was scarcely a whole piece of canvas on the vessel. We were not driven any distance northward, but remained almost opposite the Columbia the whole time. On the evening of 22 January, the bar had moderated somewhat, and shortly after sundown pilot Coates headed the little craft for the river, bringing her safely in and dropping anchor where Sand Island now is."

Upon their return, the two brothers headed for what is now called Milwaukie and built the first warehouse there. Finding they were not always in agreement, they decided to split and go separate ways. Gabriel headed ten miles south of Oregon City to a place later to be called Union Mills and John Corse headed ten miles northwest of Oregon City to a place later to be called Lake Oswego. And the die had been cast for this family who would contribute so much to the settling of the Oregon Territory.

On 22 July 1852, Gabriel took up a homestead along the banks of Milk Creek and established a home for himself and his bride, the former Sarah Glover of Eagle Creek. There in 1854, he built one of the Oregon country's first sawmills. Untill 1890 only rough lumber was produced. In that year, Gabriel imported from England what was said to be the Pacific Coast's first power driven planer. This piece of machinery is now in the museum of the Oregon Historical Society at Portland. it is not on display at this time. When the planer was installed, Gabriel and Sarah had been married fifteen years and had a family of seven - Daniel Newton (b 1853 m Juliet Howard), James Barton (b 1856 m Nealie Rowell), Edward l. (b 1861 m Mary Martin), Dellazon Lee (b 1863 m Maude Paine), Sara Ellen (b 1865 m Edward Paine), Jane Elizabeth (b 1867 m Frank Paine), and Isaac V. (b 1869 m Elizabeth Crowley). Two other children passed away. The oldest son, Ben died in infancy and a daughter, Katherine, drowned in Milk Creek at the age of 12. In 1877, Gabriel put water power from his Milk Creek dam to work in another mill - this to produce flour. Trullinger's mill had steel rollers, not stone, and produced white flour, bran, shorts, middlings, and a product similar to cream of wheat. In 1879 a third mill for wool processing was added. Wool from the rural area's sheep was washed and carded, bound for home spinners who spun their own yarn and knitted garmets for their families. With these three mills in production, Gabriel gave the name Union Mills to his operations. Machinery for all three Trullinger mills was brough by ship across the atlantic, around Cape Horn and up the Pacific coast. It was then hauled by wagon from Oregon City to Union Mills.
