June 25, 2002Ocean Park resident Robert J. "Bob" Scheckla, 81, died June 20, 2002, at home.
The son of Albert and Gertrude (Ochs) Scheckla, he was born Dec. 22, 1920, in Tigard, Ore. He grew up on the family farm in Tigard where his parents raised garlic and strawberries.
Mr. Scheckla worked in the Portland shipyards during World War II. He then served four years with the Navy in the Pacific Theatre aboard the USS Mississippi and was in Toyko Bay for the formal surrender ceremonies.
Returning to Tigard, Mr. Scheckla delivered mail before moving to Coquille, Ore., where he was a bartender at the American Legion.
In the 1950s, he and brother Howard Scheckla operated Ole's Nook in Ocean Park. He later tended bar at Doc's Tavern in Ocean Park. He worked a number of years in seafood processing at Eastpoint Seafoods in Nahcotta until he retired.
Mr. Scheckla was baptized in the Catholic Church. He was a life member of the Long Beach Elks and a member of the Moose and Eagles lodges in Ocean Park.
He enjoyed clamming, spending time with family and friends and gardening. He always had a soft spot for birds, chickens and any winged creatures. His family will remember his sense of humor and his committment to helping his fellow man and "the underdog."
He is survived by one daughter, Cyndi Keyes of Marysville, Wash.; a stepdaughter, Kathleen Kary of Ocean Park; two brothers, James Scheckla of Sheridan, Wyo., and Bernard Scheckla of Aurora, Ore.; three sisters, Ethel Harris and Clara Kreick, both of King City, Ore., and Lucille Wilberger of Myrtle Point, Ore.; numerous nieces and nephews; and longtime companion Darline Swaggart of Ocean Park.

April 15, 2017Al Fahey, a lifelong resident of Oakdale, passed away Monday, April 10 at age 96. Al was the grandson of California pioneers, immigrants from Ireland, who worked in the gold fields surrounding Sonora. The family was among the original ranchers in Tuolumne County and later relocated to Oakdale.
Being in a ranching family, Al said he grew up on the back of a horse. Al graduated from UC Berkeley during World War II and attended naval officer training after graduation. He served in the Pacific theatre. After the war, Al worked for Chevron Corporation before returning to UC Berkeley to complete a teaching credential. At UC Berkeley, he met and married Catherine Working. Together they returned to Oakdale where Al taught at Oakdale High School for 30 years.
Al is survived by Catherine, wife of 67 years, and five children, Anne Orlando (Roy), Mary Town (Randy), William Fahey (Nina), James Fahey (Susy) and Elizabeth Conlin (Albert), and by ten grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. Al is survived by sister Evelyn Clipper and was preceded in death by parents William and Lily Fahey, brothers Robert, George, and David.
Al will be dearly missed by his family for his lifelong kindness, patience, and generosity. He was proud of his pioneer family and delighted in sharing family stories and history. After retiring from teaching, Al concentrated on restoring a century old house. He became an avid skier in college and loved the Sierra Nevada Mountains, especially the family cabin at Fahey Meadows. Al calmly presided over countless bustling, noisy family meals, enlivened by children from multiple generations. His great grandchildren never failed to bring a smile to his face. Al loved life and family to the end and was always ready for any new adventure that life might present.

73896. Isabelle Anderson Haskell
Obituary: unknown newspaperIsabel Anderson Haskell, daughter of Capt. and Mrs. Montaford C. Haskell, passed away Monday, January 6, at the Bangor Hospital, where she had been confined since November, 1931
She was born at North Deer Isle June 2, 1907 and was a partial invalid all her life being afflicted with epilepsy. Everything possible was done for her in the medical line and many cures were tried before her case was considered hopeless. Finally her mind became affected and it became necessary to send her to the hospital.
Isabel was very gifted and efficient in many ways and there are many monuments to her memory about town in the form of delicate crocheted and embroidered pieces. This sort of work was her hobby and she continued it as long her health permitted a short time before her death. She was a very friendly sort of person and enjoyed making calls, thus establishing a great many friends who sympathized deeply with her in her affliction and admired her for the patient way in which she bore her suffering. She leaves to mourn her loss beside her parents, a sister, Mrs. Linnie Conary; a brother, Cyrus, who attends Drexel Institute; a niece, Gloria Conary: and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.
Son Haskell was stillborn.
