2753 Obituaries : Tony Dandeneau, Owner of Sherman Oaks Swim School
January 30, 1997|BRETT ANTHONY COLLINS | SPECIAL TO THE TIMES

Tony Dandeneau, owner of the now-defunct Sherman Oaks Swim School, has died.
During the school's heyday, Dandeneau--whose birth name was Townsend Dwight Seymour--coached many athletes to state, national and international competition. His students included Olympian Mike Austin, Danny Drown and the children of many celebrities.

Dandeneau died Sunday from complications following a series of strokes at the Garden Terrace Nursing Home in Vista, said his daughter, Linda Susan Prentice, of Lake Arrowhead. He was 80.
Born April 8, 1916 in Los Angeles, Dandeneau attended a local military school as a child. He graduated from Hollywood High School in 1934. Subsequently, he opened a cafe and candy store called Betty Bolton's in Hollywood. It thrived until 1950.
A gifted athlete during his childhood, Dandeneau's interest in sports carried over to adulthood, culminating in the establishment of the Sherman Oaks Swim School on Ventura Boulevard in 1950. The school closed in 1981.
A longtime resident of Sherman Oaks, Dandeneau moved to Garden Terrace just over a year ago.
"My father was always happiest when he was coaching because that was what he dedicated his life to and that's what he did best," said Prentice, whose mother was married to Dandeneau--who married six times--for six years until her death in 1955. "That's who he was . . . he was a coach."
In addition to his daughter, Dandeneau is survived by his sons, Robert, of Carmichael, Donald of Carlsbad, and James of Encinitas; 11 grandchildren, and 9 great-grandchildren.
There will be no funeral.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105.

2758 OBITUARY OF OSCAR ROGERS
Oscar Rogers, loving father and grandfather, passed from this life on September 10, 2020, at his home in Boise, Idaho, at the age of 90.

Oscar was born on October 16, 1929, to Joseph Roseberry Rogers and Janetta Lamb Rogers, in Pima, Arizona, the youngest of ten children. He often told folks that he had no middle name because they ran out of names by the time he arrived!

Oscar was raised on the family ranch outside of Pima. At the age of five, he was given his first horse, which he rode regularly to and from school. He worked on the family ranch throughout his childhood and teen years, learning early the value of hard work and perseverance.

At the age of 17, Oscar joined the Navy and left home to travel the world. From that time forward, life was a series of adventures, and he was always on the go. This would prove to be true until the last six months of his life, and he was slowed only by the social restrictions of COVID-19 at the age of 90.

Oscar joined the U.S. Navy in 1947, serving actively and in the Fleet Reserve for a total of 30 years, on ten different ships and in many parts of the world, including as a Beach Jumper during the Vietnam conflict in 1964 and 1965. Although he was honored with service medals for several different campaigns, and four good conduct medals, he very seldom mentioned these honors.

In 1965, Oscar married Nadine Rowley, and created a family with her four children and another of their own. After retiring from the Navy, Oscar and Nadine eventually settled in Sunnyside, Washington. After Nadine passed away in 1978, Oscar then met and married Peggy Upshaw in 1980, taking on her children as part of his family as well. Oscar and Peggy lived in Washington, Arizona, Idaho, and Nevada, until Peggy passed away in 1995. Oscar then moved to Boise, where he lived out the remaining 25 years of his life, enjoying family and friends wherever he went.

Although he retired from the Navy in 1977, Oscar did not leave the service of his country, volunteering with many Veterans’ groups, including but not limited to the VFW, American Legion, Fleet Reserve Association, and The Forty and Eight (an invitation only Honor society of American veterans and service members). He was not only a member of these groups, but he also held many offices, usually doing so in several organizations simultaneously. If there was a way that Oscar could serve, he did. As one of his grandsons said upon his passing, “He was the most patriotic man [we] knew.”

In addition to his service activities, Oscar also was a member of the Idaho Free Trappers, and attended every rendezvous for many years, participating in shooting and hawk-throwing contests. Many folks knew him from his time spent at Museum Comes to Life at the Idaho Historical Museum, demonstrating the ways of a buckskinner every year. He loved doing bead work, and his talent earned him the name Beaded Moccasin from his peers.

Oscar also loved (and excelled at!) playing games of all types - but especially at cribbage. Not only did every family gathering find him playing cribbage with the kids and grandkids, but he also met with the Boise Peggers every Monday night for many years, and traveled around the western United States to attend tournaments until as recently as 2019. He was exceptionally proud of the awards that he won and hung on the walls of his home.

Oscar was preceded in death by his parents; all nine of his siblings (Janetta, Omer, Wallace, Dean, Mark, Remo, Liliah, Luke, and Ruby); his wives (Nadine and Peggy); and three children (Pam, Candy, and Doris). He is survived by his kids, Troy Upshaw (Theresa) of Kuna, Idaho, and Ann Wardwell (Kim) of Boise; granddaughters Christina MacGregor Wood and Angela Brumley, both of Ellensburg, Washington; Ashley Kottraba, of Boise; Cami (Pat) Dixon of Idaho Falls; and Casey Upshaw, of Kuna; grandsons Jody Kottraba (Corie) of Boise; David Upshaw (Vanessa Anaya) of Nampa; Ed Kottraba (HannaLore Hein) of Boise; 15 great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews throughout the country, and an endless number of friends.

Oscar was a kind, gentle, loving man, as dependable as a human could be. He always had a twinkle in his eye, a smile on his face, and a helping hand outstretched. His middle name should have been Love. He will be well and truly missed.

Due to COVID restrictions, a private committal service will be held at the Idaho State Veterans Cemetery. An open memorial service will then be held at Kleiner Park on Thursday, September 24, 2020, at 12:30 p.m. so that friends may pay their respects and say goodbye. 
Rogers, Oscar (I138983)

2761 Obituary-
Douglas McFarland Rhead was born to Claude E. and Sarah (McFarland) Rhead on March 8, 1927 in Idaho Falls, Idaho. He recently passed away at the age of 93 after living a full life, and living it on his terms - busy and independent, and sharp as a tack.
He is survived by his ten children: Ron Rhead, Kent (MaryJo) Rhead, Linda Rasmussen, Randy (Donnetta) Rhead, Sandra (Kevin) Robbins, Richard (Cindy) Rhead, Stephen Rhead, Deborah Rhead, Ronda Johnson, and Kevin (Lois) Rhead. He had a whole slew of grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren.
We know he is probably a little surprised and a little disappointed that he was called Home early, because he so wanted to make it to 100+. He just wanted to watch and see how this whole world would evolve and change. But we envision him having a pretty joyful reunion when he got Home and saw everybody welcoming him with love and open arms (he may have gotten a little talking to from his mom and his wife). He often talked about feeling that our mom was watching over and helping him. "I know that was you, Raeola."
Dad loved farming which he did for many years. Even from an early age learning from his dad, he grew to love the land and the animals. He loved cooking and canning. He loved geology, history, and politics. He talked about at a young age watching his dad debate and being fascinated by it. He loved being out in natural nature, and he so loved to dance.
He loved learning new things. He was still taking college classes at the age of 90, and was only one class away from graduating. He could talk a blue streak and talk anybody into anything, but the dynamics of a Speech class just wasn't for him. His latest achievement (and he was pretty proud of it) was mastering Sudoku.
He loved to travel and would frequently just show up on the doorstep of one of his kids or relatives unannounced. He read voraciously and was a constant visitor to the library, keeping them busy ordering the newly-released non-fiction books, which he would then give to his kids STRONGLY encouraging them to read these same books.
He loved helping people who needed it. He would always approach people and just strike up a conversation. When we would meet some of these people in his life, they always said the same thing: "I just loved your dad. He's the sweetest person ever." We would kind of puzzle at that because SOMETIMES he would give us a run for our money - you know what we mean. Wouldn't you, dad?
So basically, Dad loved Life. We love you, Dad. We're sure you're going to love this new Journey, meeting old friends and making new ones, and learning about many great things to your heart's content. Give extra hugs to Mom, Wayne, Tonya, and Becky. We miss them.
A private graveside gathering of immediate family members will be held at a later date.

DEATH OF G. W. W. TANNER.
Venerable Dodge County Pioneer Passes Away at Lowell
Word reached here Monday of the death of G. W. W. Tanner, which occurred at his home in Lowell Village on Sunday evening, August 25th. The deceased was 87 years of age, and for a number of years past had been in poor health. Mr. Tanner was one of Dodge county's oldest and most venerable pioneers, and was well known throughout the county and highly esteemed by all classes. Mr. Tanner was prominent in the early history of Dodge County and was one of the oldest members of the Dodge County Bar, though for many years he has not been an active practitioner. Mr. Tanner was a lover of home and of country, and when the war broke out in 1861, he promptly tendered his services to his country by enlisting in Co. A, Third Wisconsin Infantry. He participated in some of the most sanguine struggles of that bloody conflict and was a brave defender of his country's unity.
He settled in Lowell shortly after the war and that village has been his home since. The last years of his life were darkened by a long and wasting illness that made him weaker and more helpless as the days passed, and for years he had been an invalid. The funeral services was held from his late home Tuesday. Interment in Lowell cemetery.

Rhead, William Donald (I131203)
 
2766 October 11, 1884 - November 7, 1962) was an American political figure, diplomat and activist.[5] She served as the First Lady of the United States from March 4, 1933, to April 12, 1945, during her husband President Franklin D. Roosevelt's four terms in office, making her the longest-serving First Lady of the United States.[5] Roosevelt served as United States Delegate to the United Nations General Assembly from 1945 to 1952.[6][7]

President Harry S. Truman later called her the "First Lady of the World" in tribute to her human rights achievements.[8]

Roosevelt was a member of the prominent American Roosevelt and Livingston families and a niece of President Theodore Roosevelt.[7] She had an unhappy childhood, having suffered the deaths of both parents and one of her brothers at a young age. At 15, she attended Allenwood Academy in London and was deeply influenced by its headmistress Marie Souvestre. Returning to the U.S., she married her fifth cousin once removed, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, in 1905. The Roosevelts' marriage was complicated from the beginning by Franklin's controlling mother, Sara, and after Eleanor discovered her husband's affair with Lucy Mercer in 1918, she resolved to seek fulfillment in leading a public life of her own. She persuaded Franklin to stay in politics after he was stricken with a paralytic illness in 1921, which cost him the normal use of his legs, and began giving speeches and appearing at campaign events in his place. Following Franklin's election as Governor of New York in 1928, and throughout the remainder of Franklin's public career in government, Roosevelt regularly made public appearances on his behalf, and as First Lady, while her husband served as President, she significantly reshaped and redefined the role of First Lady.

Though widely respected in her later years, Roosevelt was a controversial First Lady at the time for her outspokenness, particularly on civil rights for African-Americans. She was the first presidential spouse to hold regular press conferences, write a daily newspaper column, write a monthly magazine column, host a weekly radio show, and speak at a national party convention. On a few occasions, she publicly disagreed with her husband's policies.

She launched an experimental community at Arthurdale, West Virginia, for the families of unemployed miners, later widely regarded as a failure. She advocated for expanded roles for women in the workplace, the civil rights of African Americans and Asian Americans, and the rights of World War II refugees. Following her husband's death in 1945, Roosevelt remained active in politics for the remaining 17 years of her life. She pressed the United States to join and support the United Nations and became its first delegate. She served as the first chair of the UN Commission on Human Rights and oversaw the drafting of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Later, she chaired the John F. Kennedy administration's Presidential Commission on the Status of Women. By the time of her death, Roosevelt was regarded as "one of the most esteemed women in the world"; The New York Times called her "the object of almost universal respect" in an obituary.[9]

In 1999, she was ranked ninth in the top ten of Gallup's List of Most Widely Admired People of the 20th Century.[10]

2769 Of all the noteworthy pioneers who operated in and around San Bernardino during the Mormon period, few accomplished more for the benefit of the area than Sheldon Stoddard. Born just outside of Toronto, Canada, in 1830, Sheldon was one of four boys raised by Nathaniel and Jane Stoddard. Soon after his father died eight years later, his mother, Jane, gathered the young lad and his three brothers, Arvin, Albert, and Rufus, and crossed the United States border. After a brief stop in Ohio, they continued on to Warsaw, Ill. While there, the family made the religious conversion to Mormonism. And when the church made its great trek to Salt Lake in 1847, the Stoddards hooked on.
Leaving Salt Lake in 1849, Sheldon joined 30 other men bound for the Mother Lode country in Northern California. After traveling for a while with a larger company who hired Capt. Jefferson Hunt to guide them to Los Angeles over the old Spanish Trail, they left the caravan near Mountain Meadows. Turning west at what was thought to be a short cut to the gold fields, Stoddard and company blindly followed a bogus trail for the next 17 days without a guide, compass or map.
On the 18th day, hopelessly lost and facing death without water, their lives were miraculously spared when a sudden rain squall drenched the area. As Sheldon recalled years later, "We caught the water by spreading out our rubber blankets on the ground and drank it with a spoon."
The men then turned east at the
Muddy River and carefully traced it south until meeting up with Hunt's company. This time they wisely followed their experienced leader up the Mojave River, through the rugged Cajon Pass, and on to the Chino Rancho.
Ironically, on this same trip, another group of would-be miners left Hunt's command at Provo, Utah, insisting they also knew a shorter route to the gold fields. This group, however, tragically blundered into what is now called Death Valley, where five men died before the survivors made it to Los Angeles.
From Chino, the Hunt party went on to Mariposa where they broke up to mine. Meanwhile, Stoddard also ran a trading post in nearby Carson Valley for a few months before returning to Salt Lake with a herd of horses and mules.
In March of 1851, Sheldon married Jane Hunt, a daughter of Capt. Hunt, and the following month the newlyweds joined with the first group of Mormon colonists to the San Bernardino Valley. The 150-wagon caravan arrived at Sycamore Grove, near today's Glen Helen Park, in June, where the exhausted party set up a temporary camp.
After the Mormons purchased the Rancho San Bernardino from the Lugo family that September and moved into the valley, Sheldon built the first log cabin in the settlement on First Street, now Rialto Avenue, west of Far West Street, now I Street. His cabin was later moved to the west side of the stockade constructed on the present courthouse site as protection against a rumored Indian uprising.
For years, Stoddard engaged in freighting and carrying mail between San Bernardino and Salt Lake City. In fact, the hardworking adventurer delivered mail across the desolate and often ruthless Mojave Desert 24 times, his last trip occurring in 1858. In 1865, Stoddard made a trip to Nevada City, Mont., with a mule team. The trip covered more than 1,300 miles and took six months to complete.
Stoddard continued to haul freight in Southern California until 1882, when he began working for the California Southern Railway, now Burlington-Northern Santa Fe, taking charge of their teaming and quarry work. Still hard at work until well into his 60s, "Uncle Shell," as he affectionately was called, retired from the rail company in 1899. The tireless pioneer devoted much of his last years enjoying the company of his friends in the San Bernardino Pioneer Society.
When Stoddard died in April 1919 at the ripe old age of 89, The San Bernardino Sun eulogized the man as a "pioneer, hunter, traveler, and splendid citizen," and mourned his death as a "distinct loss to the entire community ..."
Stoddard is buried along with many of his old frontier comrades at Pioneer Cemetery in San Bernardino.

2790 Oliver's original personal journals are archived in the L Tom Perry Special Collections section, Harold B. Lee Library, Brigham Young University.
Oliver initially traveled to the Salt Lake Valley in the Brigham Young Company in 1848. He returned to New York to collect his wife, children, and in-laws and then traveled back to Utah in 1852 with the Henry W. Miller Company. He later participated as one of the rescuers that were sent out in the winter of 1856 to assist the members of the Church stranded in Wyoming. After being sent to explore a route between Salt Lake City and Carson Valley,
Brigham Young called for his return in 1857 and Oliver traveled from Nevada to Utah with the Chester Loveland Company as Assistant Captain.

2792 On Saturday, Feb. 12, 1676, the sons Isaac and Jacob were killed by the Indians on the south side of Quagana hill [Littleton, Massachusetts]. They, at the time, were threshing grain in the barn on the Shepard homestead. Being aware of the perilous times,-this was during King Philip's War-the sons had set their niece, Mary, on the summit of the hill to watch for Indians.

The ground was covered with deep snow and the Indians traveled with snowshoes. Eluding the vigilance of Mary who was only about thirteen years old, they swooped down up on the Shepard barn before she was aware of their presence and slew Isaac and Jacob.
She was taken captive and carried to Nashawa,-now called Lancaster, or some place in that vicinity. During the first night after her capture she escaped and reached home the next morning. In the dead of night, Mary took a saddle from under the head of her Indian keeper who was sunk in sleep increased by ardent spirits, put the saddle on a horse which the Indians had stolen at Lancaster, mounted it, swam it across the Nashawa river, rode through the forest to her home.The leader of the Indian band is supposed to have been Netus, sometimes called Nipmuck Captain.

The teenaged girl is now thought to have been Mary Power, daughter of Ralph and Thankslord Shepard's daughter, Triall, who married Walter Power in 1661. The Power farmstead was next to the Shepard farm in Littleton (then called Concord Village). The age of the girl on the marker is probably close to correct - Mary Power was born in 1663, and would have been about 12-13 at the time of the attack on her uncles, Isaac and Jacob Shepard.
Mary Power's adventure was surely traumatic to her. When she escaped and returned home, she tended to 'run wild' by Puritan standards. Her parents were tried for at least one of her misdeeds while she was young, but she did eventually marry and settled down to lead a responsible life.

Mary Power married Joseph Wheeler in 1681, but she was dead by the time their daughter, Ruth, administered her father's estate in 1705. However, another family source said she died in 1740. Either way, no burial places were noted. As both of them were from Concord Village, which became Littleton, they may well have been buried in the Power Family Cemetery on the Walter Power farm. Several generations were buried here before the farm went out of family hands and was purchased by the Reed brothers. To the horror of the community, the Reeds plowed over the old burying ground in 1850, using the surviving tombstones to build a fence and leaving no trace of the graves. There was no law at that time about descecrating graves - there is now.
