ROY GARFIELD CHUBB

After a nearly a century of life, Roy Garfield Chubb, a White Salmon pioneer, died Nov. 14 in Portland at age 96. Born to Emma Francis and R. Henry Chubb in 1881 in Perrysburg, Ohio, Mr. Chubb came from a family of nine children.
At age 19, he and brother Will came out west by foot and rail, working their way as they went. He arrived in Hood River in 1900, where he and his brother worked in a planer mill. Ferried across the Columbia in October that year, they arrived at White Salmon.
There they came in contact with a Mr. Frisby, according to the Aug. 26, 1971 Enterprise, a Trout Lake school teacher who had urged them to come out west. He found them work as a logger for three years, joining crews of 15 to 20 men taking logs down the Columbia by shore and log rides.
From 1913 until the Depression, he lived in the Willamette Valley. Among his accomplishments were aiding the construction of Trout Lake's first telephone lines. He married Annie Mary Weingartner in 1903, who died in 1942.
He remarried in 1945 to May McAnulty, living in the White Salmon area for most of their 26 years of marriage. For a short time they owned a trailer court in Richland. She died in October, 1971.
He was a charter member of the Nazarene Church in Canby. He also worked as a Federal Land Appraiser in the Willamette Valley. His son Herbert now lives on the family homestead.
He joined the Assembly of God Church in Bingen in 1953, serving on the Church Board as a trustee and deacon. He was Sunday School superintendent for six years.
Mr. Chubb resided in Bingen for the five years following the death of his wife, May. His hobbies were gardening and was also active in senior citizen activities. He returned to Trout Lake in 1975.
He is survived by his children, Herbert L. Chubb of Trout Lake, France Howe of Oregon City, Ore., Meta Schatz of Liberal, Ore., Agnes Tetherow of Portland; stepchildren Asa Howell of Chiloquin, Ore., Rose Redd of Klamath Falls, Ore., Georgia Maki of LaFayette, Calif., Neva D'Antonio of Fremont, Calif; 13 grandchildren, 12 great grandchildren and two great great grandchildren.
Services will be tomorrow (Friday) at 1 p.m. at the Assembly of God Church in Bingen. The Rev. Clarence Myers will officiate and interment at Trout Lake Cemetery will follow, according to Gardner Funeral Home.

Correction

Roy G. Chubb's obituary in the Nov. 17 issue of The Enterprise incorrectly stated that Mr. Chubb died in Portland. It should have said that he died on his ranch near Trout Lake.
