(1929-1934) 

           Daisy Belle Eastborn was born Nov 1879 in Oregon, possibly in the Willamette Valley. In 1900, Federal Census records show her working as a hired girl in a boarding house in Heppner, Oregon. It was in Heppner that she met and married a young teamster named Willard Myers. After their marriage, the couple moved to Aumsville, OR to be near Will’s family. They had five children: Harriet (Hattie), Walter, Thelma, Wilber, and Lloyd. 

            Will worked as a teamster in Aumsville. First, driving a creamery route and then running his own livery business with a partner named Simpson. In 1915, Will took up some extra work for a brief time as a helper at Thomas Kay Woolen Mill while Daisy stayed home with the children. With the invention and availability of automobiles, the livery business suffered so Will returned to the TKWM. Daisy joined him in 1930, working as a specker and finisher. They lived at 850 Norway St in Salem.  

Daisy left TKWM in about 1939 as the Great Depression began to fade. Daisy passed away on 25 Jul 1943. Willard retired as lead dryer at the TKWM in 1944, shortly before his death on 5 Dec 1944. The couple is buried in Aumsville Cemetery in Aumsville, OR.
