Dear Ms. Hopper: Your letter reporting the results of your Courtesy Inspection of the building that the cemetery owns at 7406 Main St, is very much appreciated. Your courtesy inspection and letter of intent to post the building is an answer to my prayers. The tenants that you refer to include two California Men that moved into our buidling WITHOUT OUR PERMISSION, about 60 days ago and we have exercet every effort possible to make them vacate the building. The woman is an ex-employee who went to work for us on a part time basis this spring. In the latter part of May she came to work very distressed saying she had to move that night and did not have any place to go.' She pleaded with us to let her just sleep in the cemetery shop for a few nights which she said would be much better than sleeping in her car on the streets. Then when she found out that the cemetery owned the building at 7406 Main street which we were using mainly for storing our building materials, ete, she pleaded with us to allow her to move into the upper portion which we were not using, She has never paid one dime in rent, When she terminated her part time employment about three weeks ago we requested that she vacate the building immediately. She refused to move so on November 27, 1989 we had our attorney to serve the 72 hour notice to vacate the building. Since she has never paid any rent, which the 72 hour notice is used for, our attorney also used the 30 day notice law, ENOOWED CARE MAUSOLEUM ENTOMBMENT . CREMATED INURNMENT . GARDEN INTERMENT , ,t' . . Since they have verbably threatened my life twice, I have been afraid to even enter the bottom portion of the building. Your building department is probably aware that I inherited that old building when I took over this financial distressed cemetery. The cemetery office was in the upstairs portion of the building when I took over. This is the portion that the lady moved in. I moved the cemetery office into our new building in the cemetery a few years ago. We have mainly used that old building for storage of our building materials and equipment since we had to postpone construction of our buildings in the cemetery. Our plans for that building has been uncertain every since we took over mainly because of the prority of building these crypts which people had purchased 15 years ago. Some of the purchasers of these crypts had died before I took over and were stored elsewhere. This made building the crypts certainly a priority above doing any thing with the old building where the cemetery office used to be at 7406 main street. I knew that the building needeed attention but I did not know that it was unstrucual sound which your Courtesy Inspection has found it to be unstructional sound. Your Courtsey Inspection has also revealed what I have been afarid of since these two California men moved in with out my permission. They are apparently destroying the building because your Courtesy Inspection reveals that there are broken light fixtures, broken outlets and broken light switches and covers. The last time I was in the building the service cover panel was on and none of this electical items were broken or torn loose. Apparently they have taken out the oil furnance, valued at around $5,000.00, that has been in that house for many years and provided all the heat needed, I am assuming that they took the oil furnance out because your Courtsey inspection states: "The only source of heat in the structure is a wood stove." Since you have found the building to be UNSAFE TO OCCUPY due to the major structual damages in the lower portion of the building, " , ~ , , . . ipdngHeM lJemuHial~ 'ardens RJNERAL HOME and MAUSOLEUM .' 7305 MAIN STREET I SPRINGFIELD. OR 97478 PHONE 503-746-531 1 due the unsafe very dangerous Electricial condition, due to the broken plumbing which makes it unsanitary and due to the fact that there is no heat source in the building except a wood stove which is probably not installed according to building codes, WHY WAIT TILL DECEMBER 6TH TO POST THE BUILDING? I am asking you to Please post the building today before one of these people get hurt or some one else gets hurt coming to see these people. Since these two California Men moved in around 60 days ago there is much traffic in and out of this building all hours of the day and night and especially during the night. I do not have the time or money to do the necessary repair on the building at this time. Even if I did have the time and money to do this I would not enter the building since they have threatened my life two times. Therefore why wait till December 6th. to post the building? Why can't you post it today? You may save some ones life by posting the building today. I wish to thank you for your Courtesy Inspection and for your letter of this date. With your authority may be we can make these people vacate the building before some one gets hurt. Just the very dangerous Electical condition which you have found is more than reason to post this building and make them vacate the building before some one gets hurt or killed.

November 29, 1989 Patti Callahan 7406 Main St. Springfield, OR 97478 Dear Mrs. Callahan: As you know in May of this year, you asked if you could sleep in the cemetery shop for a few nights because you had to move out of where you had been staying. Then when you found out that the cemetery owned the old house at 7406 main st., which we were uSing mainly for storage, but part of the top portion was vacant, you begged me to allow you to move in to the portion that was vacant. I allowed you to move in that vacant portion of the house because you claimed that you did not have any money to pay any rent. You claimed this would help you if you could live there. I only gave permission for you to live there and I did agree that your 12 year old daughter could come and live with you for the summer. I made it very clear that no one else could live there. You have allowed two men from California to move in. ' You have not paid one dime for rent all the time you have been living in that house. We were notified today by Springfield Building Department that they have found the building to be UNSAFE. Therefore you MUST VACATE THE BUILDING IMMEDIATELY. The two men from California that have moved in, WITHOUT OUR PERMISSION, MUST ALSO VACATE THIS UNSAFE BUILDING IMMEDIATELY. I am asking the City of Springfield Building Safety Division to post that building that it is unsafe. They will post this with in the next few days as follows: "DO NOT OCCUPY" "BUILDING UNSAFE" Now the City of Springfield Building Safety Division and the Springfield City Police will make you vacate the building immediately when it is posted. The only furniture you took into that building was one old single bed and one old chest of drawers. THIS IS A WARNING TO YOU. Do not take any of the other furniture OR WE WILL HAVE YOU ARRESTED. We have an inventory of all the furniture along with the purchase agreements to show that we are the owners. We also have an inventory of all the other equipment and of all the building materials that are stored in the basement, the two front rooms and in the building to the east of the house. I am giving a list of the furniture that we own to the police. Therefore you we are warning you that we will have you arrested if you take any of the ". .~ , .~ " . I ' 't '.. . , ' . . furniture or any of the equipment or building material. The electric heater that you took out of the cemetery shop without permission and the two DeLonghi oil based, electric radiator heaters must also be left there. As you know we have hired Collins Security to help us patrol our property. WE HAVE 24 HOUR SURVEILLANCE ON OUR PROPERTY. IF YOU START LOADING ANY OF OUR FURNITURE OR ANY OF OUR EQUIPMENT OR ANY OF OUR BUILDING MATERIAL, WE WILL HAVE YOU ARRESTED ON THE SPOT. Please make it easy on your self. Move out of that UNSAFE BUIDLING IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT TAKE ANY OF OUR FURNITURE OR ANY OF OUR EQUIPMENT OR ANY OF OUR BUILDING MATERIALS. ONE LAST WARNING: Your son has threatened my life twice now. Once was here in the cemetery with another witness hearing his threats against my life. Neither you, nor your son or the other stranger from California has any business on these cemetery grounds. None of you have any relatives buried in this cemetery. Infact none of you have any friends buried here because all of you have just recently came up from California. Therefore you have NO REASON OR BUSINES WHAT SO EVER TO COME IN THIS CEMETERY. Your son came into this cemetery last Saturday and not only threatened my life but disrupted our business, upset and scared bereaved families. The police have your sons threat on my life on the computor. They will be here within minutes and arrest your son if he treaspasses again by coming on these cemetery grounds.
