Mrs. Adaline Pooler, 89, Last of Old Time Waldo Hills Pioneers Passes On – When Mrs. Adaline Pooler, aged 89, died on Saturday morning, November 2, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Effie Back, 1179 Chemeketa Street, Salem, there passed the last of the early pioneer residents of the Waldo Hills. Grandmother Pooler crossed the plains in one of the many ox wagon trains of that year. This was the year, 1852, of the ‘big immigration,’ when perhaps 20,000 people came to Oregon.
She was Adaline Starmer, and she was 12. In 1857 she married Lewis Clinton Pooler. They came in the same train with their families from Des Moines, Iowa, and both the Starmers and Poolers settled in the Waldo Hills on donation claims. Besides Mrs. Back, her living children are Earl Pooler of Corvallis, Ivan Pooler of Salem, and Mrs. J. P. McMannus of Honolulu. The deceased children were Jefferson Pooler and Alice Pooler-Bowen of Salem, Mrs. Nettie McCallister of Pratum, and Emory and Katherine Pooler of this city. There are three living brothers, John Starmer of Estacada, Abraham Starmer of Tillamook, and Frank Starmer of Mt. Vernon, Oregon. Mrs. F. S. Anderson, Salem, a sister, also survives.
The funeral was at Rigdon’s Mortuary at 2 o’clock Monday, and the interment in the Warren Cemetery in the Waldo Hills, and the whole countryside was present, besides many from Salem. The sermon was by Rev. W. C. Kantner, who also presided at the funeral of the husband, who died November 8, 1901; 28 years ago.
The pallbearers were grandchildren of the pioneer woman, Russell and Mark McAllister of Pratum and Salem, Lewis Pooler of Stayton, and Archie Bowen of Pratum and Clifford and Dolph Bowen of Salem.
A neighborhood quartette sang: Horace and Jay Thompson, Mrs. J. C. Currie and Mrs. David Ramseyer. Mrs. Hinges also sang.
There are 12 grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren. Mrs. Pooler lived on the old farm, 10 miles east of Salem, till 1910, since which time she had resided in Salem. Up to a few months ago, her memory was very clear concerning the events of the covered wagon days and the years of pioneering when this section was being redeemed from the Indians and the wilderness.
