JULY 18, 1999 THE UKIAH DAILY JOURNAL July 18,1999 OBITUARIES Biren Samuel Kiggins Private memorial services were held for Biren Samuel Kiggins at the Kiggins' residence. Mr. Kiggins died Saturday, July 3, 1999. He was 28. Born in Calcutta, India, Mr.

Kiggins was found lying in the street severely ill and taken to missionaries for treatment. After a search determined he was an orphan, he was put up for adoption through International Mission of Hope in Calcutta and adopted by Robert Kiggins and Gael Kreider of Elgin. In May 1984, he moved to Ukiah with his family, where he continued his education. After attending high school, he worked in many areas, trained in yard maintenance through Ukiah Valley Association for Habilitation, and did nursery work at North State Nursery. He is best known in the community for his work as an in-home caregiver, fixing meals, shopping and cleaning for the ill and elderly.

He was also known for his smiling, jovial personality and befriending everyone. Mr. Kiggins moved to Fort Bragg in late 1998. He is survived by his parents, Robert Kiggins and Gael Kreider; a sister Josanna Kiggins of Ukiah; his grandmother, Helen Kiggins of Estacada, a daughter, Misty; and by numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews, who live in both California and Oregon. Those wishing to send a remembrance are encouraged to donate to the new Ford Street Residential Recovery Center in Ukiah or Plowshares dining hall in Mr.

Kiggins' name. Chapel by the Sea Mortuary in Fort Bragg was in charge of arrangements. Tillie Hardwick (Myers) Tillie Hardwick (Myers) died Thursday, July 15,1999, at her home in Ukiah. She was a warm and loving mother of Joe, Robert and Larry Myers, and Joyce Britton. Known for her "straight talking," strong personality, sound advice, caring manner and the best tortillas in the state, she became the "second" mom to many.

Proud of her Native American heritage, Tillie was openly verbal about her ancestors who survived the Bloody Island Massacre in Lake County and fought the federal government for Native American rights. Her case, the "Hardwick" case in 1979, went all the way to the Supreme Court. It stopped the federal government's efforts to rid itself of the Native American problem by declaring these people were no longer Native American and thus the government no longer had any responsibility towards them. Because of the outcome of the suit, and her efforts, many Native Americans today realize long-term benefits from the U.S. government.

Born on Aug. 1, 1924, to Joe Myers and Elisabeth Posh, Tillie Hardwick live most of her life on the Pinoleville Indian Rancheria, just north of Ukiah. She is survived by her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and great, great grandchildren. Her many rela- tiyesand extended family members live in Sonoma, Mendocino, Lake and Sacramento counties. Tillie will be missed by all who loved her.

A rosary will be recited for her at the family home today at 7 p.m. Graveside funeral services will be held Monday at 11 a.m. at the Pinoleville Rancheria Cemetery. The Eversole Mortuary is in charge of arrangements. POLICE REPORTS The following were compiled from reports prepared by the Ukiah Police Department.

Estimated jackpot: $8 million. Heir to Camelot lived under scrutiny Fish By LARRY McSHANE Associated Press Writer NEW YORK The nation first met him as the playful boy in the Oval Office, the brave little soldier at his father's funeral. It watched as he evolved into "The Hunk," a charismatic magazine publisher and heir to Camelot, keeper of the family flame. John F. Kennedy 38, grew up in the public eye, from his sad salute at his father's 1963 funeral until his plane disappeared Friday night on the way to a family gathering in Massachusetts.

For many, he has embodied the "Kennedy mystique" young, good-looking, seemingly invulnerable. JFK as he became known, has been a reluctant icon. He eschewed a political career for publishing, and avoided the troubles that plagued many of his cousins. His wildest act, at least publicly, may have been getting a small shamrock tattoo. His appeal transcended generations.

His father was voted into the White House by the generation that fought World War n. He was bom while that generation raised its children and for them he would always be that little boy, in a blue coat and shorts, saluting his father's casket on his third birthday. To another generation, he was "the sexiest man alive" a title bestowed on him by People magazine. New York's gossip pages simply dubbed him "The Hunk." The 6-foot-1, 190-pound Kennedy dated Daryl Hannah and Madonna, becoming an unwilling fixture on the gossip pages. He preferred staying out of the spotlight, living a "normal" life, hanging out with family and friends.

Given his lineage, that was often impossible." John, although he didn't wish it himself, was born a star," said a biographer, Wendy Leigh, whose book was titled "Prince Charming." Almost from birth, Kennedy was famous mostly for being famous. "It's hard for me to talk about a legacy or a mystique," Kennedy said in 1993. "It's my family. The fact that there have been difficulties and hardships, or obstacles, makes us closer." He was born on Nov. 25,1960,2 weeks after his father's election as the 35th president.

Church Continued from Page A-l Smith Streets, previously owned by the Methodist Episcopal Church South. The grounds around the church were planted with trees in February 1883. A hitching frame was erected for the convenience of those coming in from the country to attend church. In November 1892, the building on Oak and Smith streets was dedicated. The church was 56x78 feet on the ground, with an elevation of 24 feet.

The bell tower was 70 high and 16 feet square, while the auditorium was 46x56 feel in dimension, and 30 feel from floor to ceiling, r-d ground glps (in Gothic style) gave an elegant appearance to the edifice. Enough money was pledged so that the church only carried a debt for $1,000, which trustees proceeded to raise. The women of the church began were working in the Temperance movement in 1905. Still working for the cause in 1922, they held a debate on whether women could do more than men to enforce temperance laws. Then in 1918, the ladies worked on Red Cross projects.

They raised money by making and selling quilts and did relief work for folks in Europe and also Armenian refugees. A flu epidemic in town caused the local health office to restrict church services one week to a short Sunday meeting where people were to wear masks. The next week regular morning services were held, but church members still had to wear masks. The church auditorium was redecorated and remodeled in 1910 for $400. And in 1924, the church remodeled further the 1892 church edifice by lowering the roof and applying stucco to the outside of the building, resulting in a mission style, for a remodeling cost of $12,500.

The local Ministerial Council, made up of the different Protestant faiths in town, was organized in 1938, and it is still in operation. In August 1947, there was a recital to dedicate the church's Werlitzer organ and Maas chimes, a gift of Mr. and Mrs. J.B. Cook.

The Children's Building was built in 1954, and in 1964, the Friendship Hall was completed. J.D. Bonner officially became the first pastor on Oct. 26, 1861. Other recent leaders include: The Rev.

BUI Duncan served as pastor from 1973 until 1994, when the Rev. Garry Zeek became senior pastor; Mike Dobbs serves as associate pastor, along with Dr. Tom MacMillan; and Gary McAuley is the youth director.
