John R. Higgins - Baker City Herald -
Dr. John Higgins
Dr. John R. Higgins, 81, a Baker City native, died
March 23, 2002, at his Baker City home.
He was lovingly cared for at home by his wife, Esther,
following his stroke in November 1996.
The rosary will be said today at 7:30 p.m. at St.
Francis de Sales Cathedral, corner of First and Church
streets. Mass of Christian burial will be Wednesday at
10 a.m. at the cathedral. Father Rob Irwin will
officiate. There will be a luncheon following at the
cathedral.
Burial will be at Mount Hope Cemetery.
Dr. John achieved a life of fulfillment devoted to his
family, his medical practice and his community.
He was born May 6, 1920, in Baker City to Maude Apple
Higgins and Thomas J. Higgins. He was the youngest of
four children. His brothers, Thomas and Paul, and
sister, Katie, preceded him in death.
John received his elementary and secondary education
at St. Francis Academy. Following his graduation from
Oregon State he entered medical school at the
University of Oregon School of Medicine in 1939. He
received his doctor of medicine degree in 1943 and did
his internship at Good Samaritan Hospital in Portland
in 1944. There he met his lovely wife, Esther
Natterlund, and they were married July 31, 1944.
John served his country in the military from 1943-46.
In October 1946 he joined his father, Dr. Thomas
Higgins, in general practice in Baker City, until his
fathers retirement in 1956.
Dr. John, or "Doc" as he was often called, received
his board certification as a charter member in Family
Practice in 1972, and continued that certification
until his retirement in 1996.
He belonged to multiple professional organizations:
the American Medical Association, the Academy of
Family Practice, and Oregon Physicians Service. He was
on medical staff at St. Elizabeth Community Hopsital
and served on its board of trustees. The Union Pacific
Railroad had him serve as district physician for 44
years.
Dr. John was committed to his involvement in his
community by his participation in the Elks, Kiwanis,
Junior Chamber of Commerce, Knights of Columbus, St.
Francis choir, Baker Sheriff?s Posse and as Baker
County Medical Examiner. His ability for leadership
was recognized often as he held positions in any
number of his professional, community and church
organizations. He served more than a quarter million
patients, and delivered 2,600 babies in the Baker
community.
Dr. John and his wife, Esther, were married 57 years
and were a beautiful example of love and devotion to
their family of eight children. He took time to
encourage family togetherness. He spent his days off
enjoying skiing, hiking, picknicking, fishing and
exploring with his family. His famous spaghetti sauce
and garlic bread dinners will long be celebrated as a
remembrance of him.
He nurtured interests in a number of hobbies. His most
recent was his love of spinning and weaving. Prior to
his stroke he was often seen at the ?swimming hole?
(Sam-O Swim Center) doing his laps. He was always
striving to learn more and expand his knowledge. He
loved his Baker Valley and hearing the train whistles
echoing through its expanse.
Dr. John is survived by his children: John and Bobbi
Higgins, Tim and Paula Higgins, Mary Ellen Fullmer,
Patty Lee, Matt and Nancy Higgins, Dr. Milt and
Catherine Schild, Frances and Glen Hellings, Tom and
Ann Higgins; 24 grandchildren; two
great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Surely he is bouncing his grandson, Tyler Higgins, on
his knee up in heaven this very day.

Eva Dickerson
Eva E. Dickerson, 85, of Baker City died Feb. 22,
2003, at St. Elizabeth Health Services after a short
illness.
Recitation of the rosary will be at 7 p.m. Friday at
the Coles Funeral Home, 1950 Place St. Mass of
Christian Burial will be celebrated at 11 a.m.
Saturday at St. Francis de Sales Cathedral, First and
Church streets. The Rev. Robert C. Irwin will
celebrate. Interment will be at Mount Hope Cemetery.
Visitations will be Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. at
the funeral home. There will be luncheon in the
basement of the Cathedral after the service, provided
by St. Francis Altar Society.
Mrs. Dickerson was born at Hereford on Sept. 30, 1917,
to Henry Lance Koontz and Orpha Lucretia Willey
Koontz. She was the fourth child of the family,
joining a sister, Mary Ferne, and brothers, Clifford
and Leslie. Her childhood was spent on the family farm
at Hereford, which had been homesteaded by her
grandfather, Orlando Chester Koontz in the late 1800s.
Both brothers were taken by illness at the age of 18,
leaving her and sisters, Ferne and Colleen (born in
1925) as the "ranch hands." They worked side by side
with their parents, Lance and Orpha, to keep the ranch
going.
After a brief move to Cascade, Idaho, during the
Depression, where Lance and the boys worked in the
Eccles Lumber Mill and Orpha baked pies for a local
boarding house, the family returned to the ranch in
1930.
Eva attended her junior year of high school at Grant
High School in Portland, then returned to graduate
with her longtime class friends from Hereford Union
High School in 1935. In November of that year, she
married Thomas J. Higgins Jr., son of Baker City
doctor, Thomas Sr., and wife, Maud.
They had four children: Nancy (1937), Mary Jo (1940),
Mike (1941) and Richard (1944). Tragedy again touched
Eva's life in June 1944, when Tommy was struck and
killed by lightning while irrigating their farm
ground. Left with four children between the ages of 6
and three months, a high school education, and no
formal job training, Eva, through her family support
group and a lot of determination, moved her small
family to Baker City. In 1946, she met and married
James Dickerson. She and Jimmy had four children: Kay
(1947), Don (1950), Pat (1952) and Percy (1960). In
addition to this family of eight, Eva and Jimmy helped
raise Jimmy's two children, Judy (1940) and Bill
(1943).
Hereford was the magnet that kept drawing Eva back in
those days, to live and to raise her children. After
short stays in Baker City, Caldwell, Idaho, and John
Day, the family moved back to Hereford in 1949.
After the partial shutdown of Ellingson Lumber Co. at
Unity in 1959, Eva and Jimmy and the five children who
were still at home relocated to Baker City, where
Jimmy continued his employment with Ellingson's until
retiring in 1976.
He and Eva worked to develop their newly started Amway
business. They met new friends, traveled (especially
on an airplane, for Eva!) and they thrived on this
experience.
After Jimmy's sudden death in October 1983, Eva
continued her involvement with her Amway group and her
bowling group, while residing in the home she and
Jimmy bought in 1978.
With the responsibility of caring for that home
becoming more of a burden, Eva decided to move to an
apartment, now owned by a niece, Mary Lou, and
husband, Alex Sackos, in 1997. With the loving care
and assistance of her sister, Colleen, she was able to
live in her apartment until her death.
Eva will be remembered by her family and friends as a
positive, up-beat person who, in spite of life's
challenges and stresses, continued to look for the
good in each person and each situation. Through her
determination and persistence, she provided
opportunities for her children to grow up in a
close-to-ideal situation, first in Hereford, then in
Baker City.
She had the knack of knowing when to be a firm guide
and when to back away and give her kids room to grow
and learn from their own experience, which resulted in
a family of children and grandchildren with the
self-confidence to choose their own paths.
Her love of the outdoors was passed on to her
children, in the form of an appreciation for and
respect of nature, a legacy she was extremely pleased
and proud to pass down to her offspring.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her
brothers, Clifford and Leslie; sister, Ferne Anderson;
husbands, Tommy Higgins and Jimmy Dickerson; and her
grandsons Jeremiah Dickerson, Donny and Mark Curtiss.
Survivors include her sister, Colleen Jones of Baker
City; children, Nancy and her husband, Alan Endicott,
of Pendleton, Mary Jo Higgins and her husband, Bob
Kowing, of John Day, Mike Higgins and his wife, Donna,
of Halfway, Dick Higgins of Baker City, Kay and her
husband, Vernon Nakada, of Ontario, Don Dickerson and
his wife, Dorothy, of 100 Mile House, British
Columbia, Pat Dickerson and his wife, Jill, of
Jacksonville, and Percy Dickerson and his partner,
Leslie Maiwald, of Baker City; stepchildren Judy and
her husband, Bill Blevins, of La Grande, and Bill
Dickerson and his wife, Tami, of Boise; sister-in-law,
Mary Ann Slocum of Portland; an aunt, Erma Cole of
Hillsboro; 30 grandchildren and 30
great-grandchildren, and numerous nieces, nephews and
cousins.
In lieu of flowers, Eva could best be honored by
planting a tree or a rose bush in her memory, by
taking a walk in the buttercup-covered hills, by
putting up a bird feeder, or by thinking good thoughts
of her on your next picnic. Buttercups were one of her
favorite wildflowers as they emerged from the
snow-covered, sagebrush hills around Hereford in the
spring.
