The Dalles Chronicle, March 9, 2005
     Bethel Albright, 90, a lifetime resident of Maupin, died at a care center 
in Madras on March 4, 2005.
     She was born Oct. 30, 1914 at Juniper Flats, the fourth of eleven 
children for Elmer and Ada (Miller) Snodgrass.
     She went through school in Maupin and then with the help of family got a 
teacher’s certificate from Oregon Normal School (now known as Western Oregon 
University). 
     Her first school was Bakeoven School, which has since been moved to 
Shaniko as part of the historic buildings there. In those days, female 
teachers were supposed to be unmarried, therefore she and her husband, Charles 
Albright, whom she married in Kelso, Wash., in November 1935, kept their 
marriage a secret until the end of the school year.
     She retired from teaching in 1976 after 30 years with Maupin Elementary 
School.
     Throughout her life she was an avid card player and belonged to several 
party and duplicate groups over the years. When she moved to Madras in 1989 
she played bridge and pinochle as often as she could find a game.
     Survivors include her children, Stephen Albright, Billings, Mt.; and 
Cindia Schmidt, Madras; a brother, Dick Snodgrass, Madras; sisters, Sandra 
Woodside, Maupin; Sidna Fargher, Redondo Beach, Calif. and Beverly Holste, 
Maupin; three grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
     Her husband, Charles, died on Dec. 16, 1987.
     Final disposition was a private family service at The Dalles IOOF 
Cemetery. Funeral service information will be announced at a later date.
     Memorials may be made to Mt. View Hospice or Mt. View Hospital.
     Bel-Air Colonial Funeral Home of Madras was in care of arrangements.
