An Illustrated History Of Walla Walla County, State Of Washington, W. H. Lever, Publisher, 1901, page 399

MRS. ELIZABETH J. BLANCHARD, a hotel keeper and farmer, residing at Eureka Junction, was born in Arkansas July 7, 1844. She crossed the plains with the remainder of her family in 1859, and since that date her life has been linked with the destinies of Walla Walla Valley. There were only eight white women in the valley at this time, and not a school or a church closer than The Dalles, Oregon.

Her father bought a squatter's right and engaged in farming and stock raising, and she lived with him until June 27, 1861, when she married Mr. A. A. Blanchard. The latter also bought a claim and engaged in farming, stock raising and teaming, while Mrs. Blanchard, wishing to contribute her share toward the establishment of a home, attended to the butter making. They lived on the original homestead for thirteen years, then moved to the town of Walla Walla, continuing, however, in their former occupation, that of stock raising. Fourteen years were passed in this locality and during that time they witnessed the gradual growth and development of the town, there being only one store in the place when they first moved into the valley.

About 1888 they sold their interests in the vicinity of Walla Walla, moved to Eureka Junction, bought more land and engaged in the dual occupation of farming and hotel keeping. In 1898 Mr. Blanchard died, but his widow, having learned self-reliance in the hard school of a pioneer country, has carried on both the farming and the hotel keeping successfully alone, personally managing, her wheat farm of six hundred and forty acres, the same being the land upon which Eureka Junction is located.

Mrs. Blanchard is a active member of the Free Baptist church. She is deeply interested in the establishment of a first-class institution of learning in the Junction, under the auspices of that denomination, and has shown her interest in a very substantial way, donating ten acres of her land for the use of the school. She is a thoroughly sincere, good woman, devoted heart and soul to the advancement of the cause of Christ and the uplifting of humanity.

Mr. and Mrs. Blanchard had no children of their own, but have reared and educated four, taking them in childhood and training them to become respected members of society. The first was the infant child of an esteemed friend. She is now Mrs. Fredelle Sharp, wife of a farmer on the Touchet River; the second, a daughter of Mrs. Blanchard's brother, is now the wife of William Mann, of Eureka; the remaining two are Clara and Dora McElhaney, who still reside with Mrs. Blanchard.

*************

PIONEER WOMAN DIES IN OREGON.

Mrs. Elizabeth J. Blanchard was Eighth White Woman in Valley; Came in 1859.

Mrs. ElizabethJ ane Blanchard, 88, who was the eighth white woman in the

Walla Walla Valley when she came here in 1859, died Tuesday night at the

home of her brother, Millage McElhaney, in Yamhill, Oregon.

Born July 7, 1844 in Arkansas, she came west across the plains from Little

Rock in 1859. Her father took up a homestead on the Walla Walla River near

the present site of the Whitman monument. At that time there were no schools

or churches closer than The Dalles, Oregon.

She was married, Jun 7, 1861, to A. A. Blanchard, in Walla Walla. Blanchard

ran a freight line between Walla Walla and The Dalles, Oregon and Boise,

Idaho, in the early days. He died in 1898.

'Move to Eureka.'

About 1888, the Blanchards moved to Eureka flat, and ranched on this land

upon which Eureka was built. They built the hotel at Eureka when the

Northern Pacific Railroad was built through that section.

Mrs. Blanchard had lived about a year at Yamhill, and had lived in Walla

Walla for nearly 20 years since leaving Eureka.

She had no children of her own, but reared four from childhood. Mrs. Clara

Stutsman and Mrs. Dora Saltmarsh live at Walla Walla, while Mrs. Fredell

Sharp, formerly of the Touchet River region, is now of Seaside, Oregon.

Ambrose McElhaney of Spokane is a brother of Mrs. Statsman.

Mrs. Blanchard wore the oldest badge at a pioneers' meeting here two years

ago. She was a member of the Church of God.
