"HONOR FORMER DAYTON CITIZEN"
"DAYTON, Wash., Dec. 20.-Mrs. Thomas D. Honeyman, selected as first citizen of Portland, Ore., for 1941, is a former Dayton resident. As a child of 5 she came here with her parents, the late Mr. and Mrs. George Hutcheon, and attended local public schools."
"She was graduated from the Good Samaritan hospital school of nursing of Portland and has lived in that city since her marriage. She has long been prominent in the work of public charities."
"Since 1935 she has been a member of the state public welfare commission by appointment of the governor and was recently reappointed by Governor Charles A. Sprague for a four-year term ending in 1945. Members of this commission administer Oregon's $20,000,000 program of care for the dependent and destitute without compensation."
"For years Mrs. Honeyman served on the board of the Visiting Nurses' association and the Oregon Tuberculosis association. During the last world war she had charge of the preparation and dispatch of surgical dressings needed at base hospitals and of late she has been actively at work in the Bundles for Britain campaign."
From the Portland "Oregonian" newspaper, Saturday, July 1, 1966:
"Obituary: Funeral set for Mrs. Honeyman, 91"
"Funeral services for Mrs. Anne Honeyman, 91, the first woman to be honored as Portland's First Citizen by the Portland Realty Board in 1941, will be held at 10:30 a.m. Saturday at Adams Memorial Chapel."
"Mrs. Honeyman died Thursday at a local convalescent hospital."
"Born at Eau Claire, Wis. Mrs. Honeyman spent her early years at Dayton, Wash. She moved to Portland in 1896 and was a member of the first graduating class of the Good Samaritan School of Nursing in 1899. Her husband, Thomas D. Honeyman, was the president of Honeyman Hardware Co."
"She had been engaged for many years in charitable, welfare and civil activities."
"Mrs. Honeyman was appointed to the State Public Welfare Commission in 1935 and served as secretary. She was president of the Portland Housing and Planning association during the 1940s and was a member of the boards of the Community Chest, the Oregon Tuberculosis Association and the Visiting Nurses Association."
"During World War I she prepared and dispatched surgical dressings for soldiers overseas. She was active in the Bundles for Britain effort, American Red Cross, and in local defense work during World War II."
"Surviving are her daughter, Mrs. O.S. Kempton of Portland, six grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren."
"Burial will be in Riverview Cemetery."
The obituary was accompanied by a photo, which was captioned "'Flabbergasted,' was her description of her reaction in 1941 when Mrs. Thomas D. Honeyman was named Portland's 'First Citizen.' Picture above was taken at that time. She died Thursday at 91."
