Doris Brack
Doris Mary Yeley was
born September 7, 1925 on the
Hamilton ranch eight miles
east of Goldendale, Washing-
ton to F. Erman Yeley and
Sylvia May Schuster Yeley.
Doris was the second child
born to this family. Doris
rode her horse, "Old Silver"
3 miles to the No. 6 school
for the first two years, hav-
ing many snow drifts and
icy roads to contend with.
She then transferred to the
Goldendale schools when
her brother entered high
school. She then rode 3 miles
on horseback to reach the
bus and then, after putting
her horse in a barn, rode the
school bus 27 miles to Gold-
endale. She had to be at the
bus stop at 7:15 to get on the
bus and was the last one to
get offof the bus at night.
In 1938 the family moved
to the Pike place on the old
No. 8 road. The bus stopped
at their door. Doris gradu-
ated from high school in 1943.
From her marriage she
had 3 children. For many
years she raised her son,
Dale Bruce, alone and they
lived together her remain-
ing years on their property
on Rimrock, outside of Gol-
dendale.
Doris was always active
in community activities.
She was a 15-year 4-H
leader, working with sev-
eral groups--foods, sew-
ing, sheep, gardening and
the horse club. In the 1940s
Doris was a member of the
No. 12 Riding Club. She was
on the ladies pole bending
team earning several tro-
phies. This group met every
Sunday during the summer
at the fairgrounds to prac-
tice their square dancing
on horseback.
24 members
took part in
this activity.
Their club par-
ticipated with
many other
clubs for play-
days, namely
Hood River,
The Dalles,
White Salmon,
Arlington,
Moro and Tygh Valley. In
1949, Doris was the rodeo
queen for the Klickitat
County fair. When her chil-
dren were in school she was
their "room mother" and was
active in planning their par-
ties; their picnics wereheld
at her home. When her boys
were in athletic activities she
helped with their banquets.
Doris joined the Pleasant
Valley Grange in 1944 and
was later the first woman
Master for the group. She
was always involved in
their projects and their fair
booths. When their Grange
dissolved, she joined the
Goldendale Grange and
remained active there.
Doris was employed at
the Extension Office in Gol-
dendale working with the
4-H leaders. She traveled to
White Salmon every Wednes-
day and set up an office in the
Old Leaky Teepee building.
The leaders met with her to
get their supplies and to keep
up to date with the programs.
Next she went to work for the
Klickitat County
Title Company
doing mapping
and research-
ing titles. When
the title com-
pany was sold
to Schrieners
she went into
the real estate
business for
a few years.
From there she
went to work for the Asses-
sor's Office and was the first
woman appraiser to work in
Klickitat County. She was
appointed County Asses-
sor for a year when there
was a vacancy. Not being
elected for the office, she did
private appraisals locally
and worked in Columbia
County for a time doing their
appraisal work.
After retirement, Doris
started researching and
writing the genealogy of
her extended families. Her
great-grandparents, August
and Catherine Dell Schus-
ter joined a wagon train in
Wisconsin in May of 1862
and arrived in The Dalles,
Oregon in October of 1862.
They soon moved their fam-
ily to the Washington side of
the river. In 1867, August was
appointed a County Commis-
sioner for Klickitat County.
At their first meeting he
resigned this position and
was appointed to the position
of Sheriff. He served in this
office for 17 years. When Gol-
dendale was established as
County Seat he moved there
and started a meat market.
Doris' grandfather William
was the 8th white child born
in Klickitat County in 1866.
Her great-grandparents,
Joel and Elizabeth Black-
burn Cowles, left the state of
Iowa in July of 1880 by wagon
train and reached Pleasant
Valley in November of 1880.
They were one of the first
families to claim a home-
stead in that area.
Doris has also amassed
an extensive history of her
father's families in Indiana
and from Europe dating back
to the 1350s.
Another hobby Doris had
was making and collecting
quilts. Her quilt depicting
the Indian Petroglyphs was
her favorite.
Doris passed away in The
Dalles on July 31, 2017 at the
age of 91. She was preceded
in death by her parents, hus-
band, two brothers and one
sister. A graveside service
was held on Aug. 5 at the
Mountain View Cemetery
in Goldendale. Condolences
may be sent to the family at
