OREGON BLACK HISTORY SPOTLIGHT: LOUIS SOUTHWORTH

A Tale of Triumph Enslaved gold miner became successful businessman and ferry owner

L

By Oregon Black Pioneers

ouis “Lou” Alexander Southworth was a freed slave who became a successful business owner and homesteader.

Lou Southworth was born into slavery in 1830 in Tennessee. He was given the surname of his enslaver, James Southworth, who in 1853 brought the 23-year-old Louis and his mother Pauline to Oregon.

James Southworth settled in Lane County, and sent Louis to Jacksonville to pan for gold on his behalf. Lou was allowed to keep a small portion of his earnings for himself. In 1856, Louis joined Colonel John Kelsay’s company of volunteers to fight in the Rogue River Indian Wars near the Oregon-California border. While Southworth is not listed in Kelsay’s Second Regiment muster rolls, records do indicate that he was wounded during a skirmish in either March or April of that year.

Although he was still enslaved by James Southworth, Louis moved to Yreka, California in 1858. There he made his livelihood playing the fiddle for local dancing Louis Southworth., schools. Between his gold Benton County Hist. Soc. Museum mining earnings and his fiddle playing, Lou earned the $1,000 necessary to buy his freedom. Despite Louis making the payment to his owner, James Southworth circulated a petition in Lane County to protect “slave property” in a desperate attempt to allow slave owners to keep their enslaved laborers despite Oregon’s anti-slavery laws. James Southworth’s petition reached the Oregon State Legislature but was not adopted, ensuring Lou’s freedom.

In 1868, Louis moved to Buena Vista, Oregon, in Polk County, where he purchased land and established a blacksmith shop and livery stable. There, he married Mary Cooper in 1873 and became father to Mary’s adopted son, Alvin McCleary, a mixed-race child of Jamaican and Native American ancestry. Making use of the Homestead Act, the Southworth family acquired property just outside of Waldport, on the Oregon Coast. Beginning in 1880 Louis operated a scow on the Alsea River, ferrying passengers and cargo from one side of the river to the other.

Louis Southworth., Benton County Hist. Soc. Museum

On election day of that year, a major storm hit Waldport.

Southworth famously rigged oil cans to his boat to provide extra flotation to allow him to ferry as many passengers as possible across the Alsea Bay and into town to vote on time.

Southworth operated his Alsea ferry for 30 years. Lou was known in town for his friendliness and generosity and was known affectionately to Waldport locals as “Uncle Lou.” He played fiddle at church and local events, and even donated a tract of land for Waldport to develop a new school where he served for a time as chair of the school board. During the summers Lou worked as a farm laborer near Philomath and Corvallis, helping with the hay and wheat harvests to earn money for winter supplies. He relocated to Corvallis permanently in 1910, and died there on June 23, 1917 at the age of 86, and was buried in the city’s Crystal Lake Cemetery.

iving here in the Northwest with its ever-shifting weather patterns and increasingly extreme temperatures, our heating and air conditioning systems are really put to the test. There is virtually no time of year when one of those systems isn’t working overtime simply to maintain a comfortable climate inside our homes. Like any other mechanical system run with such regularity, maintenance is an imperative. Sometimes they require repairs or even replacement.

Founded in 1992 by current owner Dan Sommers, this industry-leading business was built on genuine hard work, dedication and quality service. And that dedication was not exclusively reserved for customers. To Dan, what was equally important was fostering a positive corporate culture where employees were heard and respected. That led to key innovations, improved efficiencies, and the ability to provide levels of customer service that were incomparable.

What began so humbly out of Dan’s barn has now grown into an esteemed, multiple award-winning business (they’ve won the “Best of the Mid Valley People’s Choice Award” for the last

HISTORY

DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME

Falling Back Through Time The origins of daylight saving time

By Robert Matsumura, Contributing Writer

S

pring forward, fall back is a saying many of us are familiar with as a reminder to move the clocks forward one hour in the springtime, and back one hour in the fall. Despite your feelings about the subject — for or against the mandated biannual time change — have you ever wondered how daylight saving came about in the first place?

Benjamin Franklin is frequently cited as the original proponent of the daylight saving concept when, as the American envoy to France, he satirically proposed in a letter to the “Journal of Paris” that Parisians could save money on candles by waking up earlier, thereby more effectively utilizing natural light. While Franklin’s letter may be the earliest recorded evidence of the concept, others proposed the same idea, but for different reasons.

New Zealander George Hudson, an entomologist, proposed in 1895 that the clock be forwarded by two hours in order to provide additional daylight to pursue his study of insects during the summer. In 1902, an Englishman by the name of William Willett — who incidentally was the great-great-grandfather of Chris Martin of the band Coldplay — was struck with the daylight saving notion while out riding his horse. Willett went so far as to propose the concept to Parliament as a way for Great Britain to more efficiently utilize daylight. Despite the support of such luminaries as Winston Churchill and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the idea never gained sufficient traction in Parliament for passage into law.

It wasn’t until World War I that a nation actually passed the concept of daylight saving into law. Germany, desperate to

conserve energy during wartime, was familiar with Willett’s efforts in Britain regarding the subject. Unlike the British who rejected the concept, the Germans wasted no time implementing the policy of daylight saving into law. Sadly, Willett, who had championed the daylight saving concept till his death in 1915, never lived to see it put into effect. He likely would have felt vindicated when almost every country that fought in World War I — including England — implemented daylight saving as national policy in the years that followed.

In step with its European counterparts, the United States, in 1916, also enacted legislation to conserve energy via daylight savings. Along with daylight savings, Congress also enacted the Standard Time Act which split the nation up into different time

during the Bush Administration during 2005. These changes, in effect today, extended daylight saving time from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November. Even though daylight saving time was a federal mandate, it did still permit individual states to opt out by passage of state laws.

Two states that have opted out are Hawaii and Arizona. The state of Hawaii chose to disregard daylight saving time altogether due to an abundance of

zones. During an era when U.S. energy consumption was highly dependent on coal, the policy was indeed an effective measure to conserve the precious resource during wartime. At the end of the war, however, the daylight saving time part of the act was repealed.

In February 1942, with the advent of World War II, Congress again reinstated daylight saving time in an effort to conserve fuel and aid with national security and defense. In fact, daylight saving time was commonly referred to as “War Time,” with the time zones referred to as Eastern War Time, Pacific War Time and such. Once again, at the war’s end the law was repealed, but this time it was left up to the individual states to determine their own standard time. No rules were stipulated regarding daylight saving time, however, which for the next two decades was problematic for both the broadcast media and transportation industries, as one might imagine.

It wasn’t until 1966 that Congress passed the Uniform Time Act which established both a national standard time and set daylight saving time to be in effect from the last Sunday in April to the last Sunday in October. A few changes to the law were enacted

daylight. In Arizona, where summers are blazing hot with temperatures frequently in the 100s, residents value the cool nighttime hours over daylight as it affords them more time outdoors. Complicating things further in Arizona, the Navajo nation, unlike the rest of the state, has chosen to abide by daylight saving time. The Hopi nation, on the other hand, which happens to be completely surrounded by the Navajo nation, has chosen, like the rest of the state, to ignore it. So, should you be traveling through northeastern Arizona, where the Navajo and Hopi nations reside, you might find it a bit perplexing trying to establish the time of day.

On the other side of the spectrum, politicians from Florida have proposed the Sunshine Protection Act which effectively would make daylight saving time the

official time for the state, thereby doing away with standard time altogether. However, in order for this act to be formally enacted as a law, congressional approval is required on a federal level.

As of 2022, the Senate has voted to support the new legislation, but the House of Representatives has yet to sign off on it. Should the legislation be approved by both the Senate and the House, it will then proceed to President Biden for his signature. As to whether the president would support the act is still undetermined.

Some critics of daylight saving time cite studies that suggest the transition back from daylight saving time is connected with a higher risk of heart attack and an uptick in automobile accident fatalities. David Prerau, the author of “Seize the Daylight: The Curious and Contentious Story of Daylight Saving Time,” explains that these cited effects are likely the result of sleep deprivation and interruptions in circadian rhythms. However, such conditions are of a short term nature and in his opinion, don’t outweigh the benefits of extra daylight.

As to the future of both standard and daylight saving time, the outcome is yet to be determined. One thing is certain, though, the next time you go to change your clock, remember that daylight saving time wasn’t just Ben Franklin’s idea, but also that of a New Zealand entomologist, Chris Martin’s great grandpa, and wartime energy conservation policies. Whether you’re for or against this biannual event, know that you’re not alone — no matter which side of the equation you fall on.

Addams Family Values (1993) “I am a turkey. Eat me!” One of the very few movies that’s deeply critical yet also somehow celebratory of Thanksgiving, Adams Family Values. Indeed, this is a true Thanksgiving movie which celebrates family and embracing our differences, while razzing the holiday’s origins and modern whitewashing in dark comedic fashion. In this unpredictable and brilliant satire, Uncle Fester (Christopher Lloyd) falls in love with a murderous gold digger (Joan Cusack) who quickly turns him against his own family, much to their shock. Simultaneously, the Addams children Wednesday (Christina Ricci) and Pugsley (Jimmy Workman) go to summer camp, which turns out to be a wacky microcosm of cultural problems — racism, conformity and censorship. This classic “us vs. them” movie is ridiculous, funny, dark and a surprisingly heartwarming look at a family’s idiosyncrasies. Starring the above, plus Anjelica Huston and Raúl Juliá as Morticia and Gomez Addams. Rated PG-13 for violence and mature themes — good for older kids.

Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009) “I think I have this thing where I need everybody to think I’m the greatest, the quote-unquote Fantastic Mr. Fox.” What to say about a Wes Anderson movie? Well, this might be my favorite. A stop-motion movie which took 5 years to make, based on the book by Roald Dahl and starring handmade animal puppets, it follows the adventures of Mr. Fox, a former master thief turned reporter. Unfortunately, as a reporter and family man with a mortgage, Mr. Fox misses the old days of the chase and begins stealing again while hiding it from his family. Like all Wes’s movies, this has a massive cast of quirky characters played by big-time actors, including George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Jason Schwartzman, Bill Murray, Owen Wilson, Willem Dafoe and so many more. And believe it or not, this has a Thanksgiving-scene near the end. While not a blatant Thanksgiving movie, it does indeed embrace the ideas of diversity, chosen family and “us vs. them.” Each character has their own little existential struggle, be it a career, bullying, illness, or love, played against a wide autumnal-colored backdrop of the English countryside in what feels like fall. It’s incredibly written, funny, heartfelt and just a world of its own. Rated PG for action, smoking and slang humor — great for all kids!

Dutch (1991) “Nothing burps better than bacon.” Love him or hate him, Ed O’Neill is quintessential ’90s, made famous by playing Al Bundy on the Fox TV show “Married With Children.”

Here he plays a similar character, Dutch Dooley, a gruff but lovable blue collar American. While obnoxious, he’s also hilarious and wise like the old-fashioned TV dads. In this road comedy-drama directed by John Hughes, Dutch is dating a divorcée named Natalie (JoBeth Williams) and he offers to drive her snobby 13-year-old son, Doyle (Ethan Randall) from his Atlanta private school to Chicago for Thanksgiving.

Doyle blames his mother for the divorce and expectedly hates Dutch, especially his blue collar roots. In this classic odd-couple dynamic, the road trip is filled with constant arguments, situational comedy and eventually, love. Rated PG-13 for mature themes, language and violence — older teens and adults only.

Stream these movies where available, or rent from your local movie store, library or rental kiosk.
