About Bertha Rowena Templeton
From her Find A Grave page:
https://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=Templeton&GS...
After graduating from college, Bertha taught for a time in the Bellevue schools. She lived in Bellevue from 1909 until 1917. In 1906 Bertha joined her grandfather Ezra Meeker in The Dalles, Oregon at the dedication of the Oregon Trail monument in that city in March and again in North Platte, Nebraska in July while he was on his Old Oregon Trail Monument Expedition with an ox team and covered wagon. She accompanied him across Nebraska and Iowa, living in the covered wagon or the camp tent as circumstances warranted. She helped him with the preparation of his book "The Ox Team or the Old Oregon Trail," which he published while on the road. Ezra's comment to his wife, "Bertha arrived this morning happy and cheerful and I was made happy for now I will have someone to darn my socks." In 1909 she worked for her grandfather at his exhibit at the Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition and in 1915 with her grandfather again at the San Francisco World's Fair. In 1917 she went to work for the war department in Washington D.C. She was a member of the Lake City Presbyterian Church.
Bertha never married.
