“I took pictures at the Mount Hope Cemetery.  The grave marker for Elias Howard Winslow and Sarah “Sally” Folsom is an obelisk made of white limestone that measures 14 X 14 inches at the bottom and stands 60 inches high.  The north side marks Elias Howard Winslow’s grave and reads E. H. WINSLOW DIED May 15, 1882 AGED 57 Yrs. 6 Ms. 16 Days.  The south side marks Sarah “Sally” Folsom’s grave and reads SALLY WIFE of E. H. Winslow DIED July 26, 1882 AGED 55 Years. The west side has clasped hands graved into the stone and reads Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord. The east side is blank.”

All of the following are also in the Mount Hope Cemetery and the pictures are shared at greencity.phanfare.com.

Orin E Winslow and Martha E Moreland and their children Bernice May Winslow, Archie Lee Winslow, Viola Fern Winslow, as well as Elias and Sally’s children Lillian S. Winslow (Wade) and her child Bertie Wade both died soon after the child was born; Delbert S. Winslow and his wife Laura May Volgamore, Bertha May Winslow (Norton) and her husband Orin Hardin Norton.

But it is simply too confusing for many who visit my photo site to maintain separate “album” sites for the Bunker Family Association, my various Roblee relatives who have been taking pictures of cemeteries,  etc.  So what I’m doing is making albums accessible without passwords to folks who are willing to scan the photo albums looking for things of interest.   Albums are accessible to anyone who wishes to visit at greencity.phanfare.com.  Feel free to visit.

Douglas G. Detling

Historical photos and presentations will be made during the ceremonies.

More information is available on the City’s web site.

Mrs. Detling, was born in Visalia, Tulare Co., California on January 18, 1924, oldest of four children of Frank and Verna Wells. She spent most of her childhood in Bakersfield, Kern Co., California. She worked in the office of the J.C. Penney Co. in Bakersfield, where she met her future husband, Howard Norman Detling. The couple married on May 16, 1942, in Bakersfield. After Howard was discharged from the U.S. Army following service in World War II, the couple relocated to Northern California. Howard and Wilma had three sons and two daughters, the two eldest born in Redding, California, and the three youngest born in Willows, California.  She was quite proud that all her kids are all family-oriented. In addition to the support she gave to me in tracing the family history, she especially delighted in the regular visits from her children, grandchilden and great-grandchildren right up until shortly before her death.

If we can be half as good to our grandkids as she was to us, they will be truly blessed.

Wilma Detling was a descendent of Samuel Williams, a Revolutionary War patriot, who married Sobriety Bunker (D15-II), great-great granddaughter of James Bunker (D-1), one of the first European immigrant settlers of what is now the State of Maine.

Mrs. Detling was preceded in death by her parents, Frank and Verna Winslow Wells; her husand, Howard;  brother, Glenn Edward Wells; and sister, Evelyn Wells Weaver. Survivors include a sister, Edna Wells Valdez of Bakersfield; three sons and daughters-in-law, Douglas (Manuela) Detling of Medford, Oregon, Martin (Glenda) Detling of Eureka, California, and Wade (Jerie) Detling of Deer Park, Washington; two daughters and sons-in-law, Adrienne (Michael) Riley of Pleasanton and Valerie (Brad) Liggatt of Redding, California; 12 grandchildren; and 13 great-grandchildren.

The web pages for the old Greencity site have a new look (also powered by Word Press).

Manuela and I drove to Crater Lake (about 75 miles from Medford) Sunday, September 20, to take a panorama of the lake.  September weather at Crater Lake is variable so we really didn’t know what to expect. It was relatively cloudless, cool and the wind was calm so the lake surface was nearly like glass in some parts. For those who have never visited Oregon’s only national park, the island in the center of this photo is Wizard Island.

We took a panorama  from a point along the rim road at N 42 56’46.03″ W 122 10’7.32″ 6,592 elevation. The panorama was produced by stitching 225 images together, then cropping in Photoshop.
