Obituary & Burial

  • An Obituary for Kenneth Lee Hillard appeared on Sunday, 21 Feb 1999, in The Press Democrat, Santa Rosa, California. Ken Hillard

    Former Mendocino County District Attorney Susan Massini still remembers clearly how impressed she was the first time she met Ken Hillard, a man who eventually would become her chief inspector.

    It was almost nine years ago and Hillard, then a sheriff's deputy who had never flashed on her radar before, was interviewing with Massini and her assistant for an investigator's job in the D.A.'s Office.

    ''After he left, we both looked at each other and we both said, ''Wow,'' Massini recalled Saturday. ''This was a guy who just shown.''

    When Hillard, a Willits resident, was struck a year ago with pancreatic cancer, a particularly virulent disease, he focused those powers on surviving, despite the odds.

    His battle ended last week, after a week-long stay in Monterey with his wife, Sharen. He was 46.

    Hillard's mother, Elma Hillard of Forestville, said his family still was ''not ready to let go,'' but said she'll be forever grateful for the kindness of his friends and colleagues, who rallied around him during his struggle.

    Hundreds turned out for a fund-raiser held earlier this winter, for which stores in Willits and Ukiah had donated gifts, she said. ''We just can't thank people enough for being so good to us.''

    Born in Lynwood, Hillard had long roots in Sonoma County, where his great-grandfather arrived in 1905 and established an apple orchard outside Sebastopol.

    Hillard and his parents moved north in 1959. He attended El Molino High and Santa Rosa Junior College, as well as Mendocino College later, his mother said.

    Hillard worked as a sheriff's deputy on the Mendocino Coast before winning appointment as an investigator with the District Attorney's Office. He was the first ever to become a chief inspector with the office in 1997.

    Massini said her friend was known for his ethics, strong morals and his love for his family. During his first marriage, he had a son, Christopher, now 17 and a senior at his dad's alma mater.

    Besides his wife and son, Hillard is survived by his parents, Don and Elma Hillard; sister, Carol Watson of Glen Ellen; brother, Steve Hillard of Santa Rosa; and stepdaughter, Abby Gruenebaum of Ukiah.

    A funeral service will be held this afternoon at 3 p.m. at the Anker Lucier Mortuary in Willits.

    Donations in his memory may be given in lieu of flowers to the Christopher Scholarship Fund, WestAmerica Bank, Acct. #2405921400, 2498 Guerneville Road, Santa Rosa 95404.

Obituary & Burial

  • An Obituary for Dale Rutledge appeared on Wednesday, 19 Jun 2013, in The Olympian, Olympia, Washington. Dale Rutledge

    Dale Rutledge, beloved father, grandfather, great grandfather, uncle, cousin to many, and friend to many more, left this world on June 14th, 2013, to start eternity with his Savior, and with the many friends and relatives who preceded him. One of five children, Dale was born in Olympia, WA, on September 5th, 1920, to Albert and Ollie Rutledge, going home to the family dairy farm in Littlerock, WA, a couple of days later. While growing up through the depression and war years, he discovered he loved to work the land, and that he had a natural ability to convince plants to grow. Combinations of circumstances and personal decisions would ultimately result in him remaining on that farm his entire 92 plus years. He was enrolled in the Littlerock grade school in 1927, and in due course moved on to attend high school in Rochester. While in high school he was active in its music program, demonstrating a natural ability to sing and play the piano. After graduating in 1938 he maintained contact with many of his fellow graduates, regularly attending yearly reunions until time and a dwindling alumni participation finally made such meetings impractical. On March 2nd, 1946 he married Mary Wagner, a young lady he had met earlier through their mutual association with the Grange organization, purchased some land abutting the family dairy, built a house, and settled down to raise a family of three boys and three girls. As their life progressed, he expanded the farm's operation by adding turkeys and chickens, and finally in the 1960's converted the whole operation to beef, its current configuration. Mary preceded him in death in 1983, and for the next 30 years he kept her memory close until they were finally joined once again. She was the one constant in his life and repeatedly stated she was the best part of his life. As caretaker and owner of the 1860 homestead farm, and as a descendant of one of the original families in the Littlerock area, he eagerly accepted the burden of continuing local and family traditions, and maintained a life-long passion with family history. His marked ability to remember dates, occurrences, relationships and anecdotes firmly established him as not only the family historian, but also the go-to guy if anyone needed information about local historical events or past residents. He was active in the Grange for many years, maintaining membership for more than 65 years, serving as a local officer, and working within the association as an advocate for other farmers and ranchers. He also took advantage of the organization's social life to square dance, play the piano and participate in many smorgasbords and get-togethers. Serving as a representative of local farmers and ranchers on the Thurston County ASC Committee for several years, he worked to improve agricultural methods, as well as coordinate related efforts with governmental agencies. He was a member of the Faith Baptist Church in Chehalis, WA, for more than 15 years, during many of which he was the church pianist, stepping down only when age diminished his ability to play at the level he felt was needed. He often said playing the piano at church was his greatest joy. Dale is survived by three sons, Tom (Wendy), Tim and Phil (Tammie) Rutledge; three daughters, Nancy (Ron) Fowler, Nora (Don) Bergstrom and Beth (Cody) Miller; a sister, Louise Jensen; a niece, Olive (Rex) Jordan; eleven grandchildren, and eleven great grandchildren, as well as numerous 'in-law' nieces and nephews. He will be remembered as a Christian gentleman who cherished his family, loved his music, valued his faith, cared for his land, and held a deep pride in his heritage. Funeral services will be at Mills and Mills in Tumwater on Friday, June 21st, at 10 AM. Interment will follow at the family plot in the Odd Fellows Cemetery in Tumwater at 11:30. Those wishing to leave remembrances are encouraged to do so with a contribution to the missionary fund at Faith Baptist Church on Coal Creek Rd. in Chehalis (fbc-wa.org).

  • Sunday, 27 Jun 2004, an article about Dale Rutledge appeared in: The Daily Olympian, at Olympia, Washington. Headline: John Dodge Soundings - Rutledge house burning down was a sad day for county history

    Standing in the kitchen over the woodstove his parents bought in 1923, Dale Rutledge heard the early morning fire report crackle over the scanner, telling of a house engulfed in flames just down the road from the pioneer home built by his great-grandfather, Thomas Rutledge, in 1861 and occupied by family members ever since.

    It's no wonder that Rutledge quickly lost his appetite. The house burning to the ground at 13831 Littlerock Road S.W. was built in 1860 and then occupied by his great-uncle, George Washington Rutledge, known by the family as "Uncle Wash."

    Dale Rutledge, 83, didn't leave the kitchen. He just kept cooking breakfast.

    "I didn't go down there," Rutledge said of the fire about a half-mile away. "I didn't want to see it burn."

    The fire that destroyed the historic Rutledge home happened about 5:30 a.m. June 15.

    For South Sound history buffs and members of the Rutledge family, it was heartbreaking, an irreplaceable piece of county history lost.

    "It is a tremendous loss to our heritage to lose this home," said Shanna Stevenson, the county's historic preservation officer.

    A week after the fire, Dale Rutledge still hadn't stopped by to see the charred ruins. It hurts too much, and he'd rather remember the place in better days.

    Ken Carlson, a Grand Mound-Rochester Fire District No. 1 volunteer and Olympia police officer, called in the fire to dispatchers about 5:45 a.m. while on his way to work.

    "There was this guy in the middle of the road, waving his arms, saying a house was on fire," Carlson said. "When I looked over, there were flames coming out of the porch windows higher than the roof."

    Within minutes, the cedar-plank home - built in the Greek Revival pioneer style with some of the first wood from Tumwater lumber mills - was completely ablaze, spewing a fireball some 30 feet into the air, said McLane Fire District No. 9 Assistant Chief Ted Hendershot, one of about 10 fire-fighters to work at the scene.

    It was a defensive firelight from the start with no chance of saving the home, he said. Even then, one of the walls separated and just about struck McLane Chief Steve North, who was serving as Safety officer at the fire scene.

    No one was in the home at the time. The cause of the fire appears to be a malfunctioning space heater left plugged into a back bedroom electrical outlet next to a sofa, Hendershot said.

    The home was about to be occupied by the daughter of the owner, who lives in California, he said.

    A new home with the same, 2,000 square feet of space would cost about $200,000 to build, Hendershot estimates.

    But for those familiar with the home's history, something priceless has been lost.

    "It's a shame," Carlson said.

    Part of history

    George Washington Rutledge arrived in Thurston County from Illinois in February 1859. The several-month journey included a trip down the Mississippi River to New Orleans, a boat ride to Cuba and Panama, a train trip across the Isthmus of Panama and steamship passage up the West Coast to Puget Sound. Here he joined family members, including his brother Thomas, who had arrived here in 1853.

    He purchased the Black River farmland next to his brother's land claim, and the two homes were built about the same time.

    "The two brothers lived side by side for quite a long time," Dale Rutledge said.

    In 1893, George Rutledge sold the home, barn, other outbuildings and 170 acres to Thurston County for $6,500. The county converted the pioneer farm into the county poorhouse, a place for impoverished adults without family support to live as custodians of the county. Five residents, called "inmates" in the day's vernacular, lived there initially.

    In January 1901, the county commissioner appointed a committee to review the poorhouse operations. At the time, it cost the county about $100 a month to care for the two men and one woman residing at the farm. The report concluded that the "inmates" would receive better medical and spiritual care if they were housed closer to the county seat in Olympia.

    "Under the existing circumstances, there is no one to visit the poor farm but such as are compelled to, it being so far out of the way," the report said.

    So the county sold the farm back into private ownership, and the poorhouse was relocated near Olympia.

    Even though the Rutledge family is more than 100 years removed from the old farmhouse, Dale Rutledge still has a fond place in his heart for his great-uncle's homestead.

    "The zest kind of went out of me the day of the fire," Rutledge said. "It just made me heartsick."

    By Dale Rutledge's account, the home he still occupies is the last of the five or six pioneer homes still standing that were built along the Black River almost 150 years ago.

    It's a timeless place, filled with family photos, old furniture and that wood-burning kitchen stove.

    "To enter Dale's home is the most like stepping back in time than anywhere else in the county," Stevenson marveled.

    And with the loss of the other Rutledge homestead, Dale's place is more precious than ever.
