Odna was born in Missouri U.S.A. When she was nine months
old, her parents moved the family to northern Wallawa
County, Oregon, to start a homestead. They left Missouri in
a boxcar on 15 September 1890. They left the train in La
Grande, Oregon and went by horse and wagon to their
homestead. The trip took nineteen days and was very hard on
the baby girl. -- From "The Flora Country" by Ira Holmes
Devin.
Odna was a "jolly, good-natured little tyke and was pretty
much 'daddy's girl'." -- From "The Flora Country". She
lived in her family's 14 by 14 foot log cabin on the
homestead until her death in 1892.
The following story about her accident and death is
paraphrased from "The Flora Country: The Hardships and
Struggles of the Matt Devin Family as Pioneers in Northern
Wallowa County, Oregon" written by Ira Holmes Devin (Odna's
younger brother)
During the afternoon of 14 June 1892, Odna was sitting on a
chair eating a piece of bread and jam when somehow she fell
and bumped her head. It did not seem to hurt her much. She
whimpered a little and went on with her playing. She played
until quite late that night and she seemed all right when
her mother put her to bed.
At daybreak the next morning (15 June 1892), Odna's father,
Matt Devin, was going to Walla Walla, Washington to find
work in the harvest. He bid goodbye to his other children
and started to wake Odna to wish her goodbye. Eliza (Odna's
mother) told him to let her sleep, so he just kissed her
and left with his wagon and team of horses.
Eliza went to wake Odna about nine-thirty that morning.
Odna seemed limp and listless, so Eliza gave her a sponge
bath. Eliza worked with Odna, but Odna seemed to get worse
in spite of everything Eliza tried. Eliza sent Gene and
Bertha to the neighbors for help. The only doctor was at La
Grande, Oregon; one hundred miles away. The neighbors came,
but there was nothing they could do. Odna continued to get
worse and had one or two convulsions. She went into a coma
and passed away about three o'clock that afternoon.
A rider was sent to overtake Matt. The rider found Matt at
Elgin, Oregon, the next afternoon (16 June). Arrangements
had been made for a relay of horses, so Matt could ride
back. As soon as Matt heard the news, he jerked the harness
off of the horses, and threw a saddle on his horse, Molly.
He rode her back to Wallowa; reaching there about midnight.
Matt changed horses three times between Wallowa and the
homestead. He rode eighty miles in sixteen hours; returning
on 17 June. He was tired and had taken an "awful beating"
riding strange saddles that did not fit him.
They buried Odna in the Flora cemetary. On the headstone
are these words: "Odna, Born December 7, 1889; Died, June
15, 1892. Gone, But Not Forgotten."
Odna's death was a terrible shock to Matt and Eliza. Eliza
later said that they had endured many hardships, but losing
Odna seemed like more than they could possibly bear. Matt
said it was the hardest thing that he ever faced was
leaving the family the day after to pick up his wagon, and
go on to harvest, knowing he would never see little Odna
again.
On the morning of 18 June, Matt left for the harvest,
again. He was so sore he could hardly ride, so he would
ride awhile, then walk. He got back to Elgin, Oregon by
mid-afternoon on 19 June and continued his trip to Walla
Walla.
