The Dalles Weekly Reminder,  June 26, 1987
     Bertha C. O'Brien, a resident of Mosier for the past 36 years, died June 
21 at age 86.
     Mrs. O'Brien was born in New York City Feb. 2, 1901, to European 
immigrant parents.  She grew up in Yakima, Wash., and at age 18 moved to Los 
Angeles, where she met her husband, Thomas O'Brien, to whom she was married 
for 59 years.  They had three children.  Returning to the Pacific Northwest 
after World War II, they lived in Hood River and Dallesport, settling in 
Mosier in 1951.  She was an active member of the Mosier Christian Church for 
several years, and later joined Calvary Baptist Church in The Dalles.  She was 
involved in Good News Club and the Faith Missionary Circle.  As a faithful 
Christian and church-goer all of her life, her friends and family say they are 
pleased she has now joined the Church Eternal.
     She is survived by her husband, Tom, of Mosier; a brother, Rudolph of The 
Dalles; three children, Thomas of Las Vegas, James of Tucson, and Caroline 
Homer of The Dalles; five grandchildren; three great-grandchildren.  Services 
will be held at Calvary Baptist at 1:30 p.m. today (Friday) in The Dalles.  
Interment will be at the Mosier community Cemetery afterwards.  Memorials are 
suggested to the American Cancer Society, Calvary Baptist Church or 
Congregation Church in care of Smith Callaway Chapel, who are in charge of 
arrangements.
