XXIX, NO. 3 SEPTEMBER 1999 The Boy Who Would Be President George Fox claims a link to Herbert Hoover, the only president to live in Oregon ^ choes of President Herbert Hoover still rever berate throughout the George Fox campus. Most EJ incoming new students soon hear that the nation's 31 st president lived in Newberg as a boy. Some even become aware he attended Friends Pacific Acade my, which later became George Fox University. But many of the century-old stories about the future president's time in Newberg are not so familiar. Orphan Overindulgence The day in 1885 he arrived as an 11-year-old orphan. Hoover was taken to the home of his uncle and aunt. Dr. Henry and Laura Minthorn. The Minthorns' own son recently had died, and they had requested Hoover be sent from Iowa to live with them. His first memory was of his aunt and two girl cousins making pear-butter from the pears that grew in their yard. Mrs. Minthorn encouraged him to eat as much of the fruit as he liked. 'T had never eaten a pear before as my family cir cumstances in the Midwest did not permit the exotic luxury," Hoover later remembered. "I liked the idea, and I liked it too much." For his first two days he lived on a near all-pear diet. "And then she tucked a small sick boy into bed. I ceased to eat pears for a while." The same pear trees still grow in the yard of the house, now a restored historic landmark two blocks from campus. Minthorn Mottoes Dr. Minthorn — a country doctor, entrepreneur and the superintendent of the academy — was a dramatic character in the small frontier town of Newberg. Occa sionally, he took Hoover along to make hou.se calls to remote locations. As they traveled the rough and often muddy roads, he lectured the boy on health and medi cine. He told stories of his work on the Underground Railroad, when he transported former slaves to safety in the North. As a youth, Minthorn had run away from home to fight in the Civil War. He shared his non-pacifist advice with Hoover. "Turn your other check once, but if he smites it... punch him!" Hoover called Minthorn, "A severe man on the sur face, but like all Quakers kindly at bottom." "The worst thing a man can do Our nation's 31st president, Herbert "Bertie" Hoover, as a five-year-old boy. Six years later, is to do nothing." orphaned he would arrive in Newberg to live with his uncle and aunt.

The element includes the lists of historic resources which represent the Final Plan Inventory for Goal 5 purposes. An Economic, Social, Environmental and Energy (ESEE) analysis conducted for the historic resources is included with the Final Plan Inventory. The element is organized as follows: I. Introduction II. Historic Resource Inventory Evaluation III. Identification of Goal 5 Resources IV. ESEE Analysis V. Conclusion II. HISTORIC RESOURCE INVENTORY EVALUATION A. 1985 Historic Resource Inventory The initial City of Newberg Historic Resource Inventory was conducted in 1984-85 and encompassed historic properties within the city limits of Newberg and the Urban Growth Boundary. The inventory involved three major phases. Phase I, a windshield survey, consisted of identifying properties of architectural significance within the study area. Concurrently, a literature search was conducted to document the development patterns of the town as well as identifying significant events or individuals important to the history of Newberg. Historical research on each identified resource was then conducted as Phase II of the inventory process. Phase III consisted of a ranked evaluation of the surveyed resources. Properties which ranked Primary, Secondary or Contributing were included in the inventory. A final report was then prepared which included a historical overview of the city's development, major historical themes, building types and styles, methodology, the evaluation process, findings and preservation recommendations. The project was completed in August of 1985. In 1990, the City of Newberg updated the inventory of historic resources in accordance with LCDC Goal 5 requirements.
