DORA TEMPLETON - 1946 Crook County Pioneer Queen
Memories of singing at the community Christmas tree, of Sunday school programs at the old Union Church, located at West Third and Beaver Streets, and of schoolmates in the little school that stood on the corner of Deer and Second streets were some of the girlhood memories of Dora Glaze Templeton.
She was born September 28, 1866, in Polk County, to parents Tillman ("Till") and Anna Glaze. When Dora was 13 years old, the family moved to Prineville, where her father owned a livery stable and a saloon. He also owned a stock ranch near Black Butte. She had many memories of summers spent at their cabin at Black Butte.
Music played a prominent part in the family life of the Glazes. Doris's father, Till, organized the first band in Central Oregon in 1880. Dora, her mother, Anna, her brothers, Prince and Warren, and sister, Margaret, were all accomplished musicians. Warren Glaze made a career of conducting bands, composing and teaching music.
Dora taught piano lessons until the last years of her life, She owned a lovely plano which had been brought from Portland to The Dalles, then by freight wagon over the Grizzly Mountain Stage Road, in 1890. Some of her music pupils remembered that the legs of the piano were carefully wrapped and a piece of cardboard placed above the pedals to avoid scuffs and scratches on the beloved
instrument.
On October 9, 1889, Dora Glaze became the bride of John Templeton, at the Dalles, Oregon. He was the druggist in Prineville, and the couple made their home here in a house at West Fifth and Deer Streets for the next 50 years. John Templeton passed away in 1940. John and Dora had five children, none of whom survived infancy. Dora continued to live in Prineville in her home. Her brother, Warren Glaze, made his home with her.
Dora became a member of the Rebekah lodge in 1901, where she regularly attended meetings and conventions and was a member of the Past Noble Grand Club of the Rebekahs.
As a special honor to the Pioneers, Dora arrived at the picnic for her coronation in a covered wagon. Orville Yancey, President of the Pioneer Association, was her wagon master. Dora wore her wedding gown at the coronation ceremony, and at her request, she was buried in the same dress, November 20, 1959, when she died at the age of 93.
