  "Will Be Removed To Salem--The remains of Father Wilbur, the Methodist missionary, are interred in Lee Mission cemetery, near this city, as is also the body of his wife.  They died within a few days of each other and were interred where it was their wish to rest.  Their daughter, Mrs.
Fackler, who preceded them to the grave by several years, and who used to live in Salem, was buried in the cemetery near the Taylor street M.E. church in Portland.  Now the city has grown all around and about that once retired little cemetery.  The bodies were all removed long ago--all except one, that of the pioneer missionary's daughter.  Over it many years ago a building, which is not occupied by the Pacific Christian Advocate, was built over her grave.  This property has been sold to the A.O.U.W. of Portland, and in early spring that order will build a fine block on the site.  In this event the body of Mrs. Falker will, no doubt, be exhumed and given interment in the Mission cemetery at Salem.  This Rev. Wilbur intended to do, but death overtook him before his purpose was carried out.  The trustees of Willamette university will, it is probable, have the interment made." OS Oct 30, 1890 4:2  r

  He was born in Cambridgeport, Mass., June 4, 1817.  He was a graduate of Browne Univer-sity, Providence, R.I., and also of the Medical College connected with Harvard University.  His health failing he came to Oregon in 1849.  He resided in the southern part of the State till 1864, when he came to Salem, and remained here till his decease.  During all his residence in Oregon he pursued the practice of medicine.  His knowledge of medicine was of a very high order, and was so recognized by his medical brethren, as the positions accorded him in medical as sociatons sufficiently testify.  He was very active in reference to whatever would advance the cause of medicine in the State.  He was one of the founders of the Medical Department of the Willamette University and during eight years of occupancy of the chair of Theory and Practice, he proved himself a brilliant and graceful lecturer.  He was principal editor of the Oregon Medical and Surgical Reporter and was a facile and forcible writer.  He was one of the founders of the Marion County Medical Society, and its president until it was merged into the Third Judicial District Medical Society, and of this latter society he was also for a time president.  He helped to found the Salem Academy of Medicine and was its president during its existence.  He was also one of the founders of the State Medical Society of Oregon.  Then in the prime of his powers, he was held in especial esteem as a counselor, many of his brethren regarded his decision in critical cases as law.  At an early age he was won to Christ and united with the Baptist Church, of which his parents were members.  His parents designed him for the ministry, but his own choice was medicine and he was educated accordingly.  During the early part of his residence in Oregon he seems to have lost his Church connections, but about 1860 he united with the M.E. Church.  In 1861 he was united in marriage with Charlotte S. Grubbe, of Roseburg, who with three children survive him.  For several years his health has been gradually failing, largely unfitting him for the practice of his profession, and as leisure increased he manifested a growing interest in Sunday school work.  He was a natural artist, and he made it his special work to illustrate the Sunday school lessons upon the blackboard, and he did it with a brilliancy and elaborateness probably unexcelled in any Sunday school in the land.  As a Christian he was diffident but sincere.  As a man he was genial, amiable, and generous; incapable of bitterness toward an enemy, and rich in all human sympathies.  Death, though thought to be not distant, at length came suddenly, but it found him ready.  Though for many days seemingly in a spritual cloud, at the last came a burst of heavenly moonlight upon his heart, and with his face radiant with it's brightness, he passed through the valley to the day beyond."

Buried 6/8/2024. “Mary Jane Fothergill died May 13, 2024 at The Springs at Lancaster, Salem, Oregon. She was accompanied on this final journey by Willamette Vital Health Hospice, the caregivers at The Springs and her family and friends.
Mary Jane was born in Canton, Ohio on June 7, 1931 to John Daniel Rinehart and Edna Mae (Young) Rinehart. She grew up in Chicago, Oklahoma, San Francisco, Brooklyn, NY and La Grange, IL. She graduated from Lyons Township High school and Junior College in La Grange Illinois. In 1954 she received her BS degree in sociology and nursing from Northwestern University and her RN from Chicago Wesley Memorial Hospital. While a Northwestern she met Ralph Fothergill, a seminary student at Garrett Bible Institute. They married, June 19, 1954 and lived in Michigantown, Indiana where he had a student parish. Their first child June Ann was born in Michigantown. Soon after they moved to Wilder, Idaho and began their career as a Methodist church ministry family in the Idaho Conference and later the Oregon Idaho Conference of the United Methodist church. In Wilder their second daughter Ruth Kay was born. They then moved to Jerome, Idaho where their third daughter Linda Joy was born. Mary Jane and Ralph went on to serve churches in Meridian, Idaho, Lebanon, Oregon, Klamath Falls, Oregon and Rockwood in Portland, Oregon. Throughout this ministry Mary Jane maintained her nursing license and worked part time at various local hospitals.
In 1978 when they moved to Klamath Falls, she decided to work full time as a mental health nurse. She worked at Merle West Medical Center, Klamath Falls, Klamath Falls Hospice, Mental Health Center in Vancouver, WA and Mt Hood Mental Health Center. In her nursing career she not only cared for ill persons, but mentored and trained other staff. She spent nine years volunteering for Girl Scouts leading troop and organizing new ones. For 70 years she volunteered in the United Methodist Church teaching classes, directing vacation church schools, leading camps and youth groups and providing spiritual direction. She started and ran a Hydo- therapy program in Lebanon, Oregon sponsored by Oregon Arthritis and Rheumatism foundation. She was named Lebanon’s woman of the year in 1974.
Mary Jane served on the board and helped to found the Klamath Hospice in 1978-9. She also worked for the Klamath Falls Hospice for a short time. After retirement she studied Spiritual Direction at Mt Angel. She also travelled to Hawaii, Alaska and Europe with her husband Ralph until his death in 1996. After his death she moved to Salem, Oregon and continued to travel. She went on a mission trip to Bolivia and travelled alone to Brazil and Bolivia to visit an exchange student son and daughter and their families.
Friendships, new and old, spiritual openness to God, family love and helping others maintain their mental and spiritual health were important aspects of Mary Jane’s life. She cared deeply about others and the world because she believed that God loved her and the whole world. She kept learning all her life even in the tough times. She embraced change openly such as lovingly accepting her trans grandson Andy in his transition.
She is survived by her three daughters: June Fothergill and spouse Jim English, Ruth Fothergill and spouse Tom Misa and Linda Bednarz and spouse Warren Bednarz; her seven grandchildren: David and Joseph English, Christopher Misa and wife Li Tao, Henry Misa, Stephanie Bednarz, Trevor Bednarz and wife Katie and Andy Bednarz. She has two great grandchildren: Daniel and Owen Bednarz. She has one brother, Dick Rinehart, of Dallas, TX and three nieces and one nephew. She is preceded in death by her husband Ralph Fothergill and her parents Dan and Edna Rinehart. Her celebration of life will be June 8 at 10 am at Trinity United Methodist Church, Salem, Oregon. Memorials can be made to any ministry of the United Methodist Church or any justice cause of your choice.” SJ, 19 May 2024, C8

Fullen, shot last night by his wife, was reported at 3:30 o'clock this morning to be very bad.  Whether he will live or not is doubtful.  The bullet lodged in his intestines, according to Dr. Charles Brewer, who finished operating just after 3 o'clock.--E.H. Fullen, 38, was shot and seriously wounded last night at Lyons, in Linn county, by his wife, Anna.  Mrs. Fullen shot her husband with a small caliber revolver, the bullet striking in his stomach.
  Fullen was brought to Salem by Dr. Charles H. Bewer of Stayton, who was called immediately after the shooting.  Physicians were preparing to operate on him at an early hour this morning and could give no statement as to his condition.
  The shooting occurred in the kitchen of Henry Croisan's home at Lyons, where Mrs. Fullen was employed as a domestic.
  The pair had been living apart for some time, and Fullen had gone to visit his 6-year-old son, living with Mrs. Fullen.  The child's birthday was yesterday.
  No details could be learned of the reason for the shooting.  The two were conversing in the kitchen of the Croi-san home, with members of the Croisan family present.
  There was no altercation between the two, as far as could be learned.  Mrs. Fullen went into the pantry, where the revolver was kept, returned, and shot her husband once.  Bystanders disarmed her before she could shoot again.
  Mrs. Fullen was brought to Salem and locked in the county jail early today.  She will be turned over to Linn county authorities, according to Sheriff O.D. Bower.
  Sheriff Bower questioned Mrs. Ful-len, but she would make no statement other than to say that she was unwilling to live with her husband, although he had urged her to do so repeatedly.
  Fullen, a cook had been employed in Salem recently, Sheriff Bower stated this morning.

on marker w/Albert J. Furtwangler

“Virginia W. Furtwangler, a prize-winning author, inspiring teacher, devoted mother, and delightful companion, died on January 1, 2024, at the age of 91. She came to Salem in 1996 as the first Hallie Ford Professor of English at Willamette University, a high point in a life of dramatic changes and reinventions.
     Ginny was born in Hartford, Connecticut to William and Agnes Walsh, grew up in Waterbury, and attended Catholic schools there. Her father died when she was 13, and she made it through her teens with the support of her resilient mother and brother, Walsh relatives, and close neighbors.
     She was active and popular at the College of New Rochelle, a Catholic women’s college in New York, and was elected president of her class and later of the entire student body. She was by turns a popular, diligent student and an independent spirit. A cadet once escorted her to a dance at nearby West Point—and a dean later scolded her for leading a conga line at a dance back on her own campus. She wrote the musical score for a student show. She led classmates down Fifth Avenue on Saint Patrick’s Day in 1954 and was stopped for a brief TV interview. The announcer boldly kissed her as a “pretty Irish colleen” and asked what her plans were after graduation. She replied that she was committed to enter the Ursuline religious order, which she did that July.
     As Sister John Bernard (names of two admired saints) she completed an M.A. in English at Catholic University, then taught in Ursuline high schools in Maryland and the Bronx and in college back at New Rochelle. In 1966 she was directed to start graduate work in English literature at Cornell University; with the support of a national Kent Fellowship she completed her Ph.D. in 1970.
     She left the Ursuline order in 1967. Later that year she began study sessions with Albert Furtwangler, a fellow graduate student. They struck up a playful conversation that would continue and deepen for over 56 years. They married when he finished his degree, and moved together to Chicago and then to the small college town of Sackville, New Brunswick, Canada, as Al pursued his teaching career. In Sackville, Ginny and Al raised two sons and built a community of friends that endures to this day. A devoted mother, Ginny searched out special instruction and opportunities for each of her sons.
     Meanwhile, she taught extension courses and began to write short stories under the pen name Ann Copeland. She eventually published six collections of stories. The Golden Thread was a finalist for the Governor-General’s Award, Canada’s top literary prize, in 1989. She also wrote The ABCs of Writing Fiction. Her books led to short-term appointments as a teacher and writer-in-residence at colleges across Canada and the US, notably at the University of Idaho, Linfield College, and the Portland State summer program in Cannon Beach.
     Ginny also sustained a lifelong love of music. She led choirs in her convent years, later studied organ and jazz improvisation, served as church organist in Sackville, and played four-hand piano with partners in both Sackville and Salem. In recent years, she hosted Monday practice sessions with fellow musicians, and she and Al opened their house to neighbors who came to listen. She and Al attended concerts and opera series in Salem, Portland, Seattle, New York, and Santa Fe. They also took social dance lessons and in the Sackville years brought the boys to an annual dance camp.
     Through shared interests, good conversation, music, and her fondness for hosting gatherings, Ginny built close friendships in every season of her long, rich, and multifaceted life. And with friends far afield, Ginny always kept in touch. She corresponded, she called, she looked people up on her travels. And many an old classmate, neighbor, student, and colleague reciprocated, coming long distances to visit and catch up. At their 60th class reunion this year, students from 1959 remembered her as a teacher who changed their lives—and wrote to tell her so.
Survivors include her husband Albert, sons Tom and Andrew, and granddaughter Claire.
     A Mass of Christian Hope is scheduled for Saturday, February 17 at 10:30 at Queen of Peace Catholic Church, 4227 Lone Oak Road SE, Salem, followed by a reception. Suggested donations include The Music Lessons Project; Camerata Musica; and Oregon Symphony in Salem.
     The family thanks Windsong Memory Care for Ginny’s special care during her final months.” Posted on Virgil T. Golden Funeral Home Website
