Annabell Schilling, 89, Orofino
Annabell Schilling, Orofino, died
She was the youngest of three girls. Her oldest sister was Bonnie Spencer, who passed away last summer. Her next oldest sister was Eva Spencer, who is also deceased.
Annabell met and fell in love with Herman (Sonny) Schilling
when he came to Orofino from
Sonny and Annabell were married
They have five children: Robert (Herm) and Kathy,
They also have many grandchildren and great grandchildren, the newest of which (Gloria's grandson, Oscar) was born just weeks before her death.
Annabell taught pre-school in her basement for 20 years or more—having many children of her former students. She ran a tight ship but they all thought highly of her and her teaching methods.
She had a great sense of humor—some of you saw that-maybe some didn't know that. A story she shared with her kids was how she and her sisters when they were young – took red fingernail polish and painted their sleeping father's nose. I think he chased them out of the house when he woke up, but I also think all of them had a good laugh over it...even him!
Sonny adored Annabell and she loved him with all her heart. Mom and Dad had a special little saying to each other. He saying, "I love you," and her responding with, "I love you the mostest." They continued that little love response even as she lay critically ill in her hospital bed.
They recently were moved to Brookside Landing for needed help. Our Mom did not want to give up her home. She and Dad helped build it and it was their home for 58 years. It was very hard for her. But it was a necessary move and she admitted it was a nice place, just not home.
We children are so thankful for the care they have gotten at
Mom and Dad are charter members of The Ascension Lutheran Church and have been attending there for 50 years or more.
Their family wants to thank Mom and Dad's very dear friends Lila and Roger Myers who have been so caring and kind and such thoughtful friends to Mom and Dad.
Annabell is survived by her husband Sonny who resides at

Vivian Lucile Miles, 97, Orofino
Truly the Lord garnered a precious jewel for His kingdom when
He chose to call her home, Vivian, our beloved mother, grandmother,
aunt and friend. He called her
Vivian Lucile Frey, Miles, 97, was born
She often rode horseback from place to place. She recalled time
spent living in a convent in Wallace. Later Vivian, her mother and
stepfather Bernard McCartney, settled in
Vivian and John were married in
The couple
had one son, Grant C. Miles. Early in their marriage the couple
moved to Weippe. Vivian spoke of hard times when she and Grant were
left alone to care for things at home while John was away in the
Army. During that time the family also lived for awhile in
For nearly 40 years Vivian, and John along with their son Grant, operated a dairy known as Whispering Pines Ranch. Vivian milked cows, hauled milk, helped make hay, cooked for hay hands, took care of the record keeping, and anything else that needed to be done around the farm.
Several summers, great nephews and a great niece came to spend time on the farm and Vivian taught them about farm life, to milk cows, and the joys of living in the country. As adults they loved to return for a visit to the farm with their children.
Many will remember Vivian sitting, for hours, on a little stool, at the end of the milk tank in the milk house filling jugs with milk for her customers. She was always interested in people, and concerned about their daily lives. These people weren't just customers to her. Each one was her friend, and she had many!!
The family sold their dairy herd and Vivian and John retired in 1993. Enjoying daily visits now from her great-grandchildren, she continued to tend her flower gardens, play with the children, and live contentedly in their home on the ranch until 2005.
Failing health forced her to join her husband John at Brookside Landing, an assisted living facility in Orofino, where he had resided since 2002.
She loved farm life, music, flowers, and later loved being a grandma and great-grandma. She was the most wonderfully devoted, loving, fun, indulging, grandmother her four grandsons could have ever had. They spent countless days playing in her yard, climbing her honeysuckle tree, and playing music and games with her. She was never too busy to take time out for them. Whether for a story, a game, or to bake cookies or make doughnuts, she was ready. She even got herself a three wheeler bike and attempted to ride with them, but gave that up after a few bruises and skinned knees!
A favorite funny memory was the day the boys entered Grandma's house and exclaimed, "Grandma, what is that smell?", only to discover she had picked up the wrong can and was dusting her furniture with "Raid" insect spray! They had many good laughs over that incident!
She was always so supportive and proud of each one especially
encouraging them in their music, fully enjoying their playing and
singing. She was there for each piano recital, concert, little
league, ball game of every type, and track meet, even when the meets
were in
She would do anything for her grandsons. Her son and grandsons, and then great-grandchildren, were the "apple of her eye", her "spice of life" and she loved them whole heartedly. Her wall sported a plaque entitled "To a Very Special Grandmother" that conveyed the return of the boys love and devotion to her.
Vivian was an accomplished pianist and along with her son Grant
played for many community dances during the l940-1950 era. Vivian
later dedicated her life and talents to the Lord and for many years
she was pianist and organist for the
Year after year she was known as the "Cookie Lady" at
Vivian never lost her talented touch on the keyboard and continued to entertain her fellow residents at Brookside Landing with her beautiful piano music. She was so proud when, following in Grandma's footsteps, Randy became a pianist also. Now her great-grandchildren also follow in her musical footsteps, displaying their musical talents and playing on her piano.
Vivian served as Secretary, Treasurer of the DHIA (Dairy Herd
Improvement Association). Upon her retirement she was honored with a
dinner, attended by fellow dairymen, their wives, and members of the
Dairy Science Department of the
Vivian's lifelong dream, and an answer to years of prayers, was
accomplished when at the age of 80, with the assistance of a
genealogical researcher, she was able to locate her birth family.
She always believed that she had an older sister but had never known
her. She now discovered that she was the second child in a family of
six children born to her birth mother. She was able to make the trip
Vivian is survived by her son Grant and wife, Sharon, of Weippe; four grandsons and their wives: Russel and Cindy Miles of Weippe; Randal Miles of Hollywood, CA; Robert and Susie Miles of Maupin, OR; and Ryan and Elissa Miles of Bend, OR; eight great-grandchildren: Jonathan, Christina, Emily, Jeremy, and Elizabeth Miles of Weippe, Holly and Jack Miles of Maupin, OR and Cash Miles of Bend, OR; a brother Benny Ustariz, of Placerville, CA; a sister Cathryn (Kay) Covell, of Camorillo, CA; special niece and nephew, Norberta St Estaben of Chino, CA, and Louie Mujica of Palm Springs, CA.
She was preceded in death by her husband John, her parents, her sister Mary Louise Mujica, two brothers, John Ustariz and Joseph Ustariz, and a grandson Grant David Miles.
It has been hard and sad for her family to see such an intelligent mind fading during her last days here on earth. It is wonderful to know however, that in the hereafter her sharp intelligence has been restored, and as in the words of the old hymn, "When We All Get to Heaven, What a Day of Rejoicing That Will be!"A memorial celebration of a life well lived, will be held at the Weippe Wesleyan Church, Weippe, ID on Saturday, Oct. 27, at 1 p.m. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Weippe Wesleyan Church Memorial Fund,

Donna was extremely well read and kept an extensive personal library. Her interests encompassed everything from politics and history to organic gardening and cooking. Donna was especially fond of science fiction. When not reading, Donna enjoyed visiting her children and grandchildren, traveling, working in her garden, and taking walks.
Donna's greatest accomplishments did not come from the places she had been or the things that she had done but in the person that she was. Donna was always kind to people and animals and she hated conflict of any sort. Donna believed that as the human race we had an obligation to treat other living beings with kindness and respect, compassion and tolerance.
Donna had strong opinions of right and wrong and she did not enjoy sarcasm; a person should say what they mean and mean what they say. Donna's quiet ways were often misunderstood but they hid a soul full of strength, determination and sometimes just plain stubbornness.

As Rick said every morning as he had coffee on the deck "I love it here" … with the sounds of wildlife and his deer, the sounds of the river which he dearly loved and a truck or two on the highway.

Iva Mae Unruh, 87, Greer
Iva Mae Unruh, 87, of Greer passed away on
When Iva was 10
years old the family of seven migrated west, eventually to settle in
When Iva finished her schooling she worked at different jobs in the area.
In December 1956 she arrived in Orofino in search of work. Someone in town suggested that she might get on at the Arcadian Nursing Home in Greer. So she caught the bus to Greer and talked with Mrs. Whitney, the owner, who told her that "there are many jobs in a nursing home". So they decided that Iva would stay overnight and look the situation over. Well, she stayed three nights and then announced that she would like to work in the laundry. She worked with a grateful heart in the laundry, in the kitchen, upstairs and downstairs, in the garden and in the canning room. In the early 60's the Whitneys sold the nursing home because of their failing health. By this time Iva had become an important member of the Whitney, Bird, and Goodwin families. When the Whitneys moved home Iva became a member of their household. She had kitties and dogs and one "Dolly Doxie" was her close buddy for 13 years.
Iva helped take care of Mrs. Whitney during her last years and when she passed in 1968, she did the same for Mr. Whitney until he passed 10 years later. And so it became time for Iva's adopted families, the Birds and Goodwins, to do the same for Miss Iva and she lived happily ever after.
She loved Dr.
Peterson, her personal
Iva loved animals
and memorials on her behalf would be welcomed at the Clearwater
Humane Society,
There will be a farewell celebration in her honor on Friday, Aug. 31 at in the family room at Brookside Landing. Please use the East entry. Take the elevator to the second floor and turn left.

Brother Daniel
Loren was born November 1942; by May 1946, the family had moved once
again to
Brother Cleo Ernest Patterson was born October 1946, with brother Larry Michael coming along in March of 1954. Mom completed her junior year of school in 1948, at Riggins, the extent of her formal training. Her natural people skills and business sense more than made up for her senior year!
Mom loved to camp, fish and hunt; if not for her summer road trips her kids would never have had the opportunity to sample every National Park and Monument in the west. She taught us to be adventurous and independent. She loved her birds and wildlife, except when they damaged her garden or bright flower gardens which she carefully tended to until poor health forced her to slow down. Family was her number one priority and she along with her brothers, organized family gatherings at least once a year.
In the 1960's and '70's she would take her mother and grandmother up to the mountains above Riggins and spend the day picking huckleberries and visiting; later she shared her love of huckleberries with kids and grandkids.
Mom worked for various municipalities, including the Riggins Water District from 1958-1973; the Riggins Chamber of Commerce from 1973-1975; the Dept. of Labor Job Service in Orofino from 1977 until retirement in 1993 to take care of her husband; the Clearwater County Court-house as Deputy Clerk from 1994-2003 when she retired to spend time enjoying life.
Patricia and
Darwin W. Smith were married in May 1949, at
Mom married George J. Lyons in 1976, at Couer d' Alene, ID; in 1977, they moved from Kamiah, ID, to a ranch on the Cavendish Grade near Dworshak Reservoir and they made their home there until George's death in June 1994; in 1996, she moved to the town of Peck near the Clearwater River.
Growing up with three younger brothers, Mom missed having a sister and found one in Delores Jensen while attending school in Riggins. The two were inseparable even as poor health moved them farther apart; two hour phone conversations and lots of laughs were common at least once a month.
Mom loved to dance and attend community events as often as possible. She found a willing partner in Wilbur "Monk" Montgomery of Orofino, and they danced, camped, traveled and enjoyed each other's company for the last 15 years. At times her brothers would call and ask "Have you seen your teenage mother lately?" when she was off having fun.
She was a longtime member and officer in the American Legion Auxiliary out of Riggins, and a member of the Red Hats of Kamiah.
Patricia is survived by her children, John (Arlene) Barton of Peck; Annette Barton (Sandie) of Albion, WA; Adonna (Aaron) Shepherd of Boise, ID; brothers Dan (Barb) of Lewiston; Cleo (Carol) of Oakdale, CA; Mike (Diane) of Ontario, OR; sister-in-law Barb Hardin of Lewiston; seven grandchildren, four great grandchildren and numerous nephews and nieces and their families which were as important to her as any, including the Lyons family.
She was preceded in death by her beloved grandparents and parents, recently her 101 year old Aunt Marie, and husband George. When asked what her cause of death was, I have replied "she died from complications of having lived a full and rewarding life".
Cremation has
taken place and the family suggests in lieu of flowers that
donations be made to the Peck Community Club in Peck, ID or the

US Sports Camps is proud to announce the addition of California Volleyball Camps at UC Berkeley. Join Coach Feller and his talented staff for an outstanding volleyball experience.
The Youth Skills Camp is a full-day camp designed for beginner to intermediate players who are entering grades 3 - 9 in the Fall of 2014. Campers will receive instruction on all volleyball skills - Attacking, Setting, Passing, Defense, Serving, and Blocking in a variety of individual, small group and team settings.
The Intermediate Skills Camp is a full-day camp designed for intermediate players who are entering grades 6- 10 in the Fall of 2014. Campers will receive instruction on all volleyball skills - Attacking, Setting, Passing, Defense, Serving, and Blocking in a variety of individual, small group and team settings.
The Advanced Skills camp is designed for advanced players looking to get technical and tactical instruction and feedback to improve their skill set in all areas of the game. The camp incorporates fundamental skill instruction in combination with advanced training techniques, specific positional training, and match preparation sessions. Sessions are designed to run like the Cal college practices. Players should have some experience at the advanced level for this camp. Entering grades 9-12 in fall 2014.
The Cal sand volleyball camp is designed for players who want to further their all around skills and doubles game. Sand volleyball is an emerging sport at the collegiate level and we want to offer campers the opportunity to learn the sand game. Each 2 hour session will include drills that focus on passing, underhand & overhand setting, attacking, defense & serving. Doubles game strategy will also be taught. Sand volleyball is a great physical workout as well as a way to practice all around skills and ball control.
Feller directed the Bears to the NCAA Tournament for the 11th year in a row in 2012 despite dealing with a deluge of injuries. Cal lost two starters to season-ending injuries before the campaign ever started and had to contend with an assortment of other ailments throughout the year. Still, the Bears notched victories over top-10 opponents Oregon and Hawaii and got back to the postseason once again.
Feller was named AVCA National Coach of the Year in 2010 after leading the Bears to their first-ever appearance in the NCAA title match. Cal won its first-ever share of the Pac-10 Conference title and produced two first-team All-Americans in the same season for the first time in school history.
Feller also put the Bears at the top of college volleyball when the 2011 squad was ranked No. 1 in the country for four weeks. The Bears were ranked in the top-10 all season and finished with an overall record of 26-7.
Feller was also the Volleyball Magazine National Coach of the Year in 2010, as well as 2007. Under his guidance, seven different Bears have produced 13 AVCA All-America certificates, including Cal's first Pac-10 Player of the Year, outside hitter Hana Cutura in 2009 and the program's first AVCA National Player of the Year, Carli Lloyd in 2010.
Beyond taking the Bears to the postseason, Feller has generated excitement in the local volleyball community. Cal's Haas Pavilion was one of four host sites for the NCAA regional semifinals in 2012 and has also hosted NCAA first and second round matches in 2003, 2004, 2008 and 2009. His players are closely connected to the community through their commitment to camps and clinics offered throughout the year. During the summer of 2008, Feller coordinated the hosting of the USA Women's Indoor Volleyball team and a scrimmage for the public in its final week before departing for the Summer Olympics in Beijing, China.
Before arriving at Berkeley, Feller was an assistant coach for the United States Women's National Volleyball Team from 1997-98. Prior to his stint with team USA, he was a highly successful head coach at Colorado State. In his 14 years directing the Rams, Feller compiled a 299-167 (.642) record with eight NCAA tournament appearances, two conference titles, 12 top-25 final rankings and several All-America, all-conference and all-academic athletes. In Feller's first season at Colorado State in 1983, he led his team to a 26-12 record, a top-20 ranking and a NCAA tournament appearance for the first time in school history. In 1987, Feller was named AVCA Regional Coach of the Year.
From 1980-83, Feller was the top assistant to Taras Liskevych (USA Olympic coach from 1985-96 and current Oregon State head coach) at the University of the Pacific in Stockton, helping the Tigers to second, fourth and fifth-place national finishes in his three years with the program.
Growing up in Palo Alto, Feller already had ties to the Bay Area before arriving at Cal in 1999. His father, David, earned his Ph.D. at Cal and his mother, Bernice, was a Cal undergraduate.
"The opportunity to coach at Cal and to have the challenge of competing in the Pac-10 Conference was a dream come true," said Feller. "Any coach who is involved in college volleyball would relish the chance to coach in the Pac-10 and to come to Cal. Working at Cal is one of the best jobs in the nation."

She earned All-WAC second team honors three times and finished her career ranked fourth all-time for Hawai'i with 3,540 assists. Dorr was selected to the WAC All-Academic team in each of her four years with the Rainbow Wahine.
Dorr's first collegiate match was a 3-0 (15-8, 15-7, 15-5) win against Cal on Sept. 1, 1999, at the Recreational Sports Facility in Berkeley, Calif. She had 33 assists to go along with 12 digs and three kills on five attacks. The match was also the first at Cal for head coach Rich Feller.
Dorr graduated from Hawai'i with a degree in business administration in marketing in 2003. She then worked as a sales and marketing executive for KHNL and K5 Television in Honolulu before leaving the islands to play professional volleyball in the fall of 2004 with Brandenburg VCO in Berlin, Germany.

I've been cleaning up some sloppy citations I made to the records of St. Finbar's South Church in Cork, Ireland. St. Finbar's South, dating back to 1766, claims to be the oldest Catholic church in Cork which is still in use. The church is famous for a marble sculpture by John Hogan of Dead Christ, which is installed under the altar.
This was Hogan's most famous statue, and he made three versions of it. There was the one above in Cork, another one in Dublin, and the last one is in, of all places, St. John's Basilica in St. John's, Newfoundland.
I have records of both churches in my files, and I like that they're also linked by this sculpture.
From my scant Wikipedia reading, it seems that these sculptures were highly valued during a 19th-century boom in church building following the upheaval of Catholic emancipation.
