"After the death of my mother [Helen Gregory Cranston], Father [Warren Cranston] married Maria Emery, who was matron of the Bishop Scott grammar school. My stepmother and Mrs. Mary B. Clopton were great chums. Bishop Morris was in charge of St. Helen's Hall along in the '70s. The principal was Mary B. Rodney. Mrs. Clopton was one of the teachers and her daughter, Maria Clopton, was a student. Maria Clopton married C. S. Jackson, for many years owner, editor and publisher of the East Oregonian and later owner and publisher of The Oregon Journal. When I came to Pendleton my mother wrote a note of introduction for me to Mrs. C. S. Jackson."
