John C. Travillion
Mr. Travillion was born to Thomas M. and Ann E. (Williams) Travillion on August
1, 1852, in Otterville, Missouri, where he was reared on a farm and secured his
educational training in the public schools. In 1873 he left the home nest and
turned toward the west for exploration and to seek a home for himself. He came
by rail to Kelton, Utah, and thence by stage to Baker City, where he at once
went into the operations of mining, which he prosecuted with vigor until 1878,
then took government land on Powder river, about sixteen miles north of Baker
City. He gave himself to farming and stock raising, most of his time being
occupied in handling cattle and sheep, and uninterruptedly he has continued that
industry since. He has gained an enviable success in this work because of his
wisdom in handling affairs and because of his tireless energy in caring for
detail in every department of his business. His real estate holdings have grown
from the government piece to an estate of one thousand acres of good land all
fenced and improved in an up-to-date manner with all the buildings and
conveniences needed for the transaction of his business. In 1892,Mr. Travillion
entered into partnership with Mr. Kelsey and Mr. Gorham in the milling business
in North Powder. They erected a good mill of fifty barrels capacity per day in
that city and equipped it with modern and complete machinery. The power for
operating it is taken from the Powder river, it being a water power plant. The
business has been handled with sagacity and deferential treatment of its patrons
until at the present time they enjoy a trade as large a the plant can handle and
have the entire confidence of the community. In 1898, Mr. Kelsey sold out his
interests and Mr. Travillion, in company with Mr. Gorham, owns the entire plant.
In 1892 Mr. Travillion removed his family from the stock farm to North Powder
and there resided until 1898, when he erected a modern ten-room residence at
2208 Clark street, Baker City, elegant and tasty, where his home is made at the
present time, although he spends much time in personal supervision of the plant
at North Powder.
On September 7, 1879, Mr. Travillion and Miss Fannie J., daughter of Captain
Edward M. and Nancy M. White, were married the fruit of the union is three
children, Lillie A., Harry C., and Nettie J. Mr. Travillion is a past grand in
the I.O.O.F., Lodge No. 88, in North Powder, and is also a member of the W. of
W., Camp No. 109, in the same town, and in Baker City he belongs to the
Fraternal Union. The parents of our subject came to Baker City in 1883, the
father was retired from business and his demise occurred in 1894, but the mother
is still living in Baker City. He has one brother in the Willamette valley and
one, County Judge Judge Travillion, in Baker City. Mr. Travillion is at this day
one of the most prominent business men of the county and has ever manifested a
worthy conduct that has won for him the esteem of all and the entire confidence
of the business world where he operates. While never pressing forward for
personal preferment in the political world, nevertheless he has taken the
interested part of the good citizen and forms one of that number of substantial
men who are the bone and sinew of the community and of the political world are
the very foundation.

Mrs. J. C. Travillion who
died in Portland and was buried in Baker today was one of our own people,
and there are possibly some still here who remember her as Fannie White. Her
father owned and named the Lily White Mine. Fannie White was married to J. C. Travillion 38 years ago. She was 56
years of age at the time of her death. her three children, Lillie
Richardson, now of Portland, Nettie Stubbs of Newberg, and Harry Travillion
(Now also married) of Wingville, were all born here. The Travillion ranch is
about three miles S.E. of town. Mr. Travillion's mother made her home with
her son and his wife for many years, and for the greater part of the past 18
years the Travillions have lived with her mother in Portland where she died.
Mr. Travillion spent the summer here looking after his hay ranch but
returned to Portland sometime ago upon hearing that his wife was ill. Always of a gentle and gracious presence, Mrs. Travillion was admired,
respected and loved by all who knew her. She had a singularly sweet and
sympathetic natural singing voice, and she sang for many years in the choir
of the Baptist church here when the membership was large and active. A call
for help never found her unready or unwilling. Her work here was surely well
done.

Maylor, Dorothy Mae
Dorothy Mae Maylor, fondly
known as Mom, Aunt Mary, and Grandma Mary, is at rest. Mary was born in Los
Angeles on March 30, 1921, and passed away at her home in Oak Harbor on
Sept. 3, 2008. At a young age Mary came to Whidbey Island with her family,
and they made their home in Coupeville where Mary graduated from high
school. She began her work life on a Whidbey Island farm where she cooked
meals for the farmhands. A fast learner and creative woman, Mary became one
of the best cooks around. She was well known for her homemade pies. In 1943
Mary met and fell in love with Randolph "Haley" Maylor and was his bride for
50 years. Together they enjoyed gardening, fishing, crabbing, clamming,
playing cards and time with their family and friends. During the 60s and
70s, Mary worked at the Queen Ann Motel and the King's Table restaurant. She
did a variety of work, but being in the kitchen was her favorite. Once
retired, Mary enjoyed many camping trips around the state with Haley. She
was an excellent seamstress and loved to crochet, knit and make items for
others to cherish. For 56 years Mary was a loyal member of the Oak Leaf
Rebekah Lodge. She was a Boy Scout den mother, member of the Oak Harbor
Garden Club, Vagabonds and Oak Harbor Senior Center. In her later years,
Mary's weekly highlight was being with her friends for a shared lunch and an
afternoon of bingo. Mary was preceded in death by her beloved husband,
Randolph Maylor and stepsons, Wesley Maylor and Robert Maylor. She is
survived by her son, Dennis (Sally) Maylor, many step grandchildren, step
great grandchildren, step great-great grandchildren, nieces, nephews and
their families. She was loved by all and will be missed. At Mary's request
no traditional funeral service will be held; however, a celebration of her
life is being planned and will be announced in the near future. The family
suggests that remembrances may be made to the Oak Harbor Senior Center, Oak
Leaf Rebekahs or their charity of choice. Arrangements were entrusted to
Burley Funeral Chapel, Oak Harbor.
