Mr Cameron was almost the pioneer citizen of Davenport , starting a saloon on Spring street along about '81, when the town comprised a small store and a blacksmith shop. He was a familiar figure on our streets up to the time he left. He leaves a wife and family in Oregon, of whom little is known." (LCT: 3-12-1897)

Edes, Mrs W H "Death of Mrs Edes. Mrs W H Edes, of Spokane, mother of Mrs J H Nicholls, of this place, and well known to many of the old timers of Davenport and the Big Bend, died Monday morning of pneumonia at the home of Mrs A J Thomson, another daughter living at Deep Creek, the funeral taking place Tuesday.

Mrs Edes had gone to Deep Creek to attend some of her grandchildren who had been sick, and while there came down with pneumonia, resulting in her death Monday. In early days Mrs Edes kept a hotel at Deep Creek, and was well and favorably known to a great many Lincoln country people who had partaken of her hospitality, and who esteemed her for her many excellent qualities. The news of her death will be heard with sincere regret by all who had come under her kindly influence in past years. Deceased was 58 years of age, and is survived by a husband and two married daughters." (LCT: 3-26-1897)

March 26, 1897 Herman Krueger "Herman Kruger, a well-to-do farmer, who lived near town, died last Thursday afternoon after a couple of weeks serious illness with pneumonia. Mr Kruger was much esteemed by neighbors and acquaintances, and was one of the best known citizens in the community. Deceased was born in Germany, but came to this country when a young man, and was about fifty years of age at the time of his death.

Griff Jones Ray Weston "Two Men Drowned. A special to a Spokane paper says that while Griff Jones, Charles Deeter, and Ray Weston were rounding up a band of young horses on lower Crab Creek, they undertook to swim the horses below a rocky ford across the stream. While crossing, the horses became entangled and unruly and Jones and Weston were thrown into the water and were drowned while Deeter managed to reach the shore. Griff Jones is a young man, son of Mrs Alice Jones, who resides near Almira, and a brother to Mrs T Allen of Spokane, the wife of the well-known Northern Pacific engineer.

Mrs.
F. McLellan
of
Davenport
Mrs. Maggie, wife of F. McLellan of this place, died Tuesday evening about 6 o’clock
at her home after an illness of less than two days. The immediate cause of her
death was a stroke of apoplexy. For several years she had been afflicted with
heart trouble and about three years ago was very seriously ill for several weeks
at which time the physicians said she would not survive another attack. Since
then, however, she had enjoyed reasonably good health, and Saturday and Sunday
seemed unusually active and cheerful. Sunday night soon after returning from
church, and while preparing to retire for the night, she suddenly fell to the
floor unconscious. Dr. Turney, who had attended her in her previous
illness, was hastily summoned and did all he could for her relief, but she never
again fully recovered consciousness. Once or twice she rallied slightly but it
was only temporarily and Tuesday evening she breathed her last.

A.
C. McKay
of
Wilbur
A
tragedy was enacted near the Viola post office, between this place (Davenport)
and Wilbur, last Thursday evening the result of
the criminal carelessness of a reckless if not vicious man who had been
imbibing too freely. A young man was killed by a revolver in the hands of one H.
A. Harrington, who now lies in jail charged with the murder of his
companion. A. C. McKay, the victim of this unfortunate affair, came to Wilbur from
Grand Forks about a couple of months ago, and last week came to Davenport with a
view to locating here and opening up a tailor shop…It was learned the
unfortunate man had a brother at Vancouver, BC…from him it is learned that the
deceased was a native of Cannington, Ontario, and that he was 29 years and one
month old at the time of his death….He leaves a father, 2 sisters and a
brother in Ontario, Canada. He is said to have been quiet, well-behaved and by
disposition inoffensive. Funeral services were held in the Presbyterian church
at 2 o’clock Thursday afternoon, the remains being followed to the cemetery by
quite a number of townspeople, where the last tribute of the living was paid to
the dead. (Also Coroner’s Inquest, same dated paper, LCT)(Date of Death: Nov 5th;

Mr.
L. J. Hutchings
Mr.
L. J. Hutchings died at his home near Harrington last Monday night, after an
illness of two or three months. He was afflicted with consumption, though the
immediate cause of death was the bursting of a blood vessel, brought on by
severe coughing. Deceased had for several years been a prominent resident of
this county, and until recently was connected with the firm of Smalley & Co,
of this city, which was known as Hutchings & Co. Early in the winter he
contracted a bad cold, which developed into lung trouble, and for several weeks
he had been declining rapidly. Last Saturday he was in Davenport, but was so
feeble that he could get about only with great difficulty. He was unmarried, but
a sister, recently from Michigan, was with him when he passed away. (LCT)

Robert
Raymer Field
After
an illness of two weeks with typhoid fever Robert Raymer, the two year old son
of Mr. & Mrs. A. J. Field, died Sunday. The funeral occurred Monday
afternoon. The many friends and acquaintances of the family throughout the
county extend their sincere sympathy to the afflicted parents. We desire to
especially express our earnest condolence to the young couple. We have known Mr.
Field a number of years. He is a quiet, industrious, worthy young man, and the
loss to him is a severe one. To stricken parents words of consolation are but a
light relief in such an hour of suffering. Time alone can assuage the grief that
comes with such a cruel blow, and the only gleam of comfort is a trust in that
Higher Power that holds out the sweet hope of once more being united with the
lost ones that have gone before. (LCT)

Henry

The
death of little Henry Viets was a surprise to many and it seems sad that this
bit of humanity given, to brighten its parents’ lives, should be taken away.
The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Jesseph, assisted by Rev Edwards
of Tyler. From the church a large number of the friends of the sorrowing parents
followed the little body to its last resting place in the new cemetery. (Henry Veits
was born June 9, 1898, per Hillcrest Cemetery records.)

memorial
Some
twenty members of Battery A marched to the ME church last Sunday morning and
attended the memorial services held in memory of the soldiers and sailors who
lost their lives in the late war with Spain. The attendance was not as large as
it should have been, considering the nature of the service, but those present
were treated to an eloquent and patriotic sermon, in which the officiating
clergyman, Rev H. B. Creel, paid a high and glowing tribute to the American army
and navy, and the administration that so ably directed the war to a successful
termination. Those who had the pleasure of hearing the learned gentleman speak
in warm terms of praise of the sermon.

Miss
Minnie Howard
Crescent.—The
vicinity of Crescent was saddened by the death of Miss Minnie Howard on
Christmas Eve at 8 PM. She had been sick a long time. Lately she thought she was
improving, and she was making preparations on Thursday last for a visit to
friends at Spokane. On Friday she was suddenly taken very ill, which culminated
in her death on Saturday. The funeral took place Monday morning at West Crescent
school house, Rev. and Mrs. Bryans coming from Spokane to conduct the services.
There were also present the Revs Taylor, Cromwell and Purchell, each and all
taking part in the services. From the immense crowd that attended, the school
house not being able to hold them all, the country around showed the very high
esteem in which she was held and their wish to pay this last tribute of love and
respect to her memory. (LCT)

Thos
Ryan & Mr. Hayden
Last Sunday a gang of men that are working near Irby went up to Odessa on hand cars to celebrate Christmas and have a good time in general, some of them imbibing very freely of liquor. On the return trip four of the latter were on a handcar and when near Irby were run down by a freight train, which killed one outright, and cut both legs off of Thos Ryan, the foreman of the gang who was taken to Spokane but died while on the road. According to our information the man who was killed was named Hayden. The two who escaped were so drunk that they can tell nothing of how it happened but the most plausible story is that the boy left Odessa late in the afternoon, all pretty full and when near Irby were overtaken by a freight train. Two of the men must have jumped off the hand-car while Ryan, who was the only one who knew their danger attempted to remove Hayden who was lying on the car, but was too late, consequently both were caught.

deceased had many friends among the old timers in this place. He fell in front
of a moving car, the wheels passing over his neck and severing the head from the

acquaintances and the news of his death is a sad shock to his many friends here.

Francis
Marion Lighthizer
of
Harrington
It
becomes our sad duty to announce the death of Francis Marion Lighthizer, the
thirteen year old son of Judge F. M. Lighthizer of this city. This sorrowful
event occurred last Tuesday evening at the Deaconess Home in Spokane and
furnishes another evidence that “in the midst of life we are in death.” Less
than a month the little fellow was the picture of health….About two weeks ago
the deceased was taken ill with the measles, as was also his brother, Lloyd, but
as the disease is not considered dangerous nothing more than careful nursing was
deemed necessary until last Saturday when the patient complained of pains in his
side, Dr. Semple was called and pronounced it a case oappendicitis and
on Sunday morning the child was moved from the house of Mr. & Mrs. Jaques,
where he had been living while attending school, to the Deaconess Home. Dr Setters
and E E Schafer of Harrington were called to the bedside of the little
fellow…..During his last hours his father and brother were at his bedside. The
deceased was born in Howard, South Dakota on the 23rd of July 1885
and was therefore 13 years 7 months and 5 days old at the time of his death. His
father, F. M. Lighthizer, has lived in Harrington since its earliest history and
is one of the most prominent and highly respected citizens of Lincoln County,
besides whom the deceased also leaves a brother, Lloyd Lighthizer….He was
endowed with one of the brightest intellects, for a child of his age, that we
ever met and at the time of his death was considered a leader among his
schoolmates at the Bryant school in Spokane. The Funeral. At the appointed hour
a choir consisting of Mrs. E. E. Schafer, Mrs. V. L. Joslyn, Mrs.
D. G. Miller, Miss McKay, A. Ross Graham, Dr. Setters,
E. E. Schafer, Milt Davis and F. H. McKay commenced the services. Rev. L. E .Jesseph read a lesson from the Bible followed by a
prayer by Rev. Edwards after which Rev. Jesseph delivered an earnest
funeral sermon. All present were then permitted to pass through the room and
take a last look at the deceased. The services as the grave were simple and
appropriate. The pall-bearers were Herman Dyke, Earl Haynes, Geo Wheeldon
and Hugh Haynes. (Citizen)

Mrs.
Ada Leonard
Mrs.
Ada Leonard, wife of John Leonard, who resides on Hawk Creek, 15 miles north of
Davenport, died on Jan 5, after an illness of ten days. Mrs. Leonard was taken
down with pneumonia, but heart failure was the immediate cause of her death. The
deceased was 41 years of age. Mr. & Mrs. Leonard were married March 14, 1895
at Tacoma and came directly to this county, settling on the place now held by Mr.
Leonard. Mrs. Leonard was a devoted wife, a cheerful helpmate, and was highly
respected by all who knew her. Her loss is not only a great bereavement to the
husband, but is sincerely mourned by the whole surrounding neighborhood where
she was held in such high esteem. (LCT)

John
Stone, who has been employed upon the Citizen for the past two months,
received a message this morning from his former home, Coquille City, Oregon,
that his mother Mrs. K. F. Stone died last Monday at the age of 66 years. Mrs.
Stone formerly lived in Harrington but moved to Coquille City in 1894. She
leaves seven children to mourn her loss, Mrs. Henry Gohlman, Bud Stone,
and John Stone of Harrington, and Mrs. Nannie Fellows, Mrs. D. F. Dean,
Mrs. George Pike and Mr. W. T. Stone of Coquille City. When Mrs.
Stone resided in Harrington she had many friends who still remember her as a
noble hearted, loving mother and a true friend whose only thought was to live to
make others happy.

Miss
Jessie Moore
Last
Saturday at 1 o’clock PM, Miss Jessie Moore, daughter of the late Thomas R
Moore, died at the residence of her mother, in Egypt, after an illness of only a
week. She was taken down with measles and it was complications growing out of
that dangerous disease that were the cause of death. The deceased was a
most estimable young lady widely known and most highly respected throughout this
part of the county, with a large circle of connections in Egypt and Davenport.
Miss Moore was 25 years of age. She came to this county with her family from
Ontario, Canada in 1883, when but a child, and grew up to womanhood on the place
the family has constantly occupied since settling in the county. She was a
bright young lady, and her amiable disposition endeared her to all of her
acquaintances. She was a devout Christian, a loving daughter, a kind and
sympathetic friend. Her death is sincerely deplored in the community in which
she resided. Circumstances attending the death of Miss Moore were sad and
singular. Her illness did not at any time seem serious, and her physician had no
apprehensions of the result. Even up to a few hours before death there were no
alarming symptoms. However, the young lady must have had a premonition of
approaching death, because from the very first she insisted she would not
recover. She had no fears of death, and spoke of the end without dread. She
burned her letters, arranged her belongings and gave instructions for the
distribution of her effects. At times her mind seemed deranged, and she suffered
much from insomnia. Thursday night her physician prescribed a narcotic. She fell
asleep, or into a stupor, at once, from which she never awoke, passing away
quietly shortly after noon Saturday. The funeral took place from the ME Church
in this place Monday at 10 o’clock, and the remains were followed to the
cemetery by a large concourse of sorrowing friends and relatives. The deceased
leaves a mother, the father having preceded her to the grave some three years,
several sisters and brothers. Miss Mary Moore and Mrs. J. J. Inkster, of
Davenport, are sisters, and Mr. William Moore, a brother. (LCT) The funeral of
the late Jessie Moore took place from the ME church, Rev Creel preached a brief
but appropriate and very touching sermon. (LCT)

Feb
17, 1899-diphtheria
At
the front of a pretty little residence, on the brow of the hill overlooking the
business center of the town a small flag has been flying for a week, bearing
that word so dreaded by all parents “diphtheria.” This announcement was
sufficient to cause a great deal of apprehension in the community, for there are
few diseases so generally feared by physicians and laymen as diphtheria, a
disease obstinate and tenacious, dangerous in the extreme at all times,
contagious to a marked degree, and so uncertain as to leave doubts as to its
termination long after the local ailment seems to have disappeared. The case in
instance is a five year old daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Denny Moylan, and at
present writing the child has every appearance of recovery. Every precaution has
been taken to prevent the spread of the disease, and as no new cases have been
reported it is possible that the malady will be confined to the family. We say
family, as one or two of the children have had a slight touch of the disease. Dr.
Turney informed a reporter that it is an acute case of malignant diphtheria,
and, while recognizing the danger, believes that the disease can be stamped out
in its incipiency. (LCT)

Died.—Friday
morning, Feb 17, 1899, Helen Marie, the eldest daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Dennis
Moylan, aged 5 years and 17 days. The report of the death of little Helen Moylan
came as a shock to the friends of the family in this community. The child had
been low, very low, for several weeks. Taken down with scarlet fever, diphtheria
followed and that dread disease was succeeded by inflammatory rheumatism. The
attending physician was hopeful to the last, but the little one had not the
vitality to rally from the complication of ailments. Little Helen was a bright,
lovable child, the idol of the family, the light of the household (LCT)

Scarlet
fever claimed another victim Friday last in the person of Emma Dean, the four
year old daughter of Mr. & Mrs. W. J .Perry. The child had been suffering
from malignant scarlet fever for a number of days, but hopes were entertained of
her recovery until within a short time before her death. The deceased was a
bright, interesting child, the pride of fond parents. The family has the sincere
sympathy of every parent in this sad loss of a household treasure. (LCT) On the
morning of the 3rd of March, little Emma Dean Perry, youngest child
of Mr. & Mrs. W. J. Perry, crossed the boundary into the summer land… The
little one, though only four years of age, was a member of the infant class of
the Presbyterian Sunday school. … (March 24th, 1899-LCT)

Nils
G. Olson
Nils
G Olson, one of the oldest and most respected citizens of Lincoln County,
departed this life at the family home 10 miles west of Harrington last Tuesday
morning. His last illness was of short duration but on account of his advanced
age the end was not unexpected. In his last moments he was comforted by the
presence of his devoted wife…. Nils G Olson was born in Sweden in 1835. He had
therefore passed the 64th milestone in his life. When about 30 years
of age he left his native land and journeyed to San Francisco where he engaged
in business and later went to Nevada, where he was interested in mining. In 1875
he returned to Sweden, where he was married. In 1886 he returned to the US,
coming directly to Lincoln County and locating a homestead upon the property
where he lived until his death. He was a member of the Masonic lodge of Sprague
and was an honest, upright citizen, a good neighbor and happy in his home
relations, and his death is sincerely mourned by his family and profoundly
regretted by his many friends. The funeral services, which were announced for
Wednesday afternoon were not held until Thursday morning on account of the
casket, which was ordered from Spokane, being shipped by mistake, over the
Spokane Falls and Northern road and as a result another was ordered from
Davenport but it was impossible to get it here until late Wednesday night. No
services were held at the family residence but the following old-time friends
and fellow Masons of the deceased drove out to convey the remains to the
Presbyterian Church where the services were held: Judge Lighthizer,
Arthur C. Billings, J. H. Abbott, J. N. Sirginson, Alex Thompson,
and Wm P. Hill. Rev. Jesseph preached a short sermon after which
Rev. J. C. Kirkman of Sprague offered a few remarks…(Others noted as in
attendance: J. H. Linder, F. J. Stipps, T. A. Sirginson, Wm

James
O’Connell
Last
Saturday evening Loomis was the scene of a fatal shooting affray in which James
O’Connell, better known throughout the mining districts as Pinnacle Jimmy, was
instantly killed. The meager particulars of the tragedy were received by mail in
a letter to C C May from Roy Bishop… Pinnacle Jim was shot and killed last
night, March 8th, by John O’Herin. Both men were drunk and Pinnacle
drew a knife and attempted to stab O’Herin, who drew a revolver and shot him
four times… O’Herin says he shot him in self-defense. Jas O’Connell was an
Irishman by birth. He spent years of his life in the mining districts of the
Pacific coast. Some ten years ago he drifted into Loomis. He was put in charge
of the Pinnacle, now Bunker Hill, group of mines, and in time relocated them. He
has clung to the claims all these years, and had it not been for his cranky
disposition, could have sold out several times for large sums of money…. his
sudden death may stop further developments. (LCT)

Mrs.
Laura Thompson
About
8 o’clock Monday evening, April 3, there passed away in this city a lady who
has been an invalid and patient sufferer for many years. The deceased was Mrs.
Laura Thompson, and she died in her room at the Columbia Hotel, surrounded in
her last moments by a number of sorrowing relatives. Mrs. Thompson had reached
the ripe old age of 82 years at the time of her death. She was born in North
Carolina, and crossed the plains with her husband and family in 1864, settling
in Nevada, where she continued to reside until 1880, when the family
removed to the Territory of Washington. She joined the Baptist Church at
the age of 16, and continued a consistent member of that faith all her life.
During her lifetime she raised a large family, and was always while possessing
her faculties an active woman… Her husband preceded her to the grave several
years ago. For many years the deceased was an almost helpless invalid. For the
past 5 years she had not been down stairs at the hotel, and for the past year or
two had hardly left her room. During all these years of helplessness she has
been tenderly cared for by her daughter, Mrs. W. W. Griswold, whose beautiful
devotion to a mother is worthy of the highest commendation. Mrs. Thompson was
prepared for death, and welcomed the end as a relief from long suffering, and as
a change to a higher and better life. Her only ailment was breaking down from
old age. The deceased leaves three sons, Samuel Thompson, of Montana; Richmond
Thompson, of Utah; and John Thompson of Nevada; and three daughters, Mrs. C.L.
Young, of Cedar Canyon; Mrss Geo Bobier, of Newport, Idaho; and Mrs. W W
Griswold, of this city. Also many grandchildren and great grandchildren. The
funeral was held from the Columbia Hotel Tuesday, many friends of the family
being present. The services were conducted by Revs Shields and Creel. (LCT)

Wm Priest
(notes)
Mrs. Wm Priest, of Edwall, upon whom Dr Whitney assisted in performing an
operation last week, died at Sacred Heart hospital, Friday. The lady was very
low at the time of the operation, and did not possess the vitality to rally. (LCT)
We had a call from Hon Wm Priest, of Edwall, last Saturday. Mr. Priest lost his
wife through the effects of an operation at the Sacred Heart hospital, Spokane.
At the time we stated that she died from weakness. He desires to say that such
was not the case. That her death was the result of the neglect of the hospital
nurses to take proper care of the patient, and from the failure of the surgeon
in charge to properly watch over his charge. This statement Mr. Priest says he
is prepared to substantiate. (LCT-Apr 28, 1899)

infant
of Chas Doty
A
shocking accident occurred at the home of Chas Doty, some seven miles northwest
of town, last Sunday evening, about 8 o’clock. The clothing of an infant girl
only one and a half years of age caught fire while the child was playing in
front of the stove, and before the fire was extinguished her whole face, body
and hands were frightfully burned. The nails of the right hand were burned off.
Dr Whitney was summoned as soon as possible and he did all in his power to
relieve the suffering of the little one. The doctor hopes to save the child’s
life. (LCT)

The

down with some ailment of the head, and became unconscious. Dr Whitney was sent
for to consult with Dr McRae. Dr Whitney found the patient totally unconscious,
breathing labouredly and evidently in a very critical condition. He had been
that way for two days. It was decided that he was suffering from abscess. A hole
was drilled in the skull back of the right ear and a large amount of puss
removed. Mr. Davis was relieved at once, and a few minutes after the operation
recovered his faculties and asked the amount of the bill. When Dr Whitney left
Mr. Davis was in a fair way to
recovery. (LCT)

Mrs.
David Glasgow
While
not entirely unexpected the news of the death of Mrs. David M Glasgow, last
Monday, produced a shock among the people and threw a gloom over the entire
community. The lady had been ill for some time, and that illness was of such a
nature that little hope was entertained of her recovery… She was the
ministering angel of a happy household, a neighbor untiring in well doing, in
her church a shining light of beautific Christianity. The funeral took place
Tuesday afternoon under the direction of the Rebeccas, an order of which she was
an active member. The outpouring of people showed the high regard in which the
deceased was held. The funeral was the most largely ever known in Davenport. The
ME Church was crowded as it has never been before. The services were conducted
by Revs H B Creel, C R Shields and Jos Hepp, Mr. Creel, pastor of the ME Church,
delivering a touching eulogy upon the virtues of the dead. The funeral cortage
was an imposing one, the services at the grave being under the charge of
Rebeccas and Odd Fellows. The maiden name of the deceased was Ada C. Jayne. She
was born in PA in 1862, and was married to Mr. D M Glasgow at Davenport in 1890.
She leaves a husband, 4 children, three sons and one daughter, the eldest seven
years of age, the youngest an infant of only a few weeks; a sister, Mrs. P.
Leipham; and a brother, W. H. Jayne, of this place. (LCT)

Mrs.
Maggie King
Last
Saturday afternoon, at the Sacred Heart Hospital, Spokane, Mrs. Maggie King, of
Davenport, died from the effects of a surgical operation. The remains were
brought back to this place Monday, and the funeral took place from the ME
Church, of which the deceased was a member, the same afternoon. Mrs. King was
the wife of Benjamin King, an old resident of Davenport and vicinity. The lady
had been apparently in fairly good health up to some two months ago, when she
was taken ill. He ailment baffled the skill of physicians for some time. At last
the symptoms of the case gave evidence of abdominal tumor, and an operation was
decided upon. The patient suffered intensely and was anxious to have the
operation performed. She was taken to Spokane last Thursday and Dr. Thomas of
this city operated upon her. It was found that a tumor did exist upon one of the
intestines, but the cause of her suffering was obstruction of the bowels. She
came out from under the influence of an aesthetics, but soon began sinking
rapidly and died in two or three hours. Mrs. King was born in Jackson County,
Iowa, and was 51 years of age at the time of her death. She came to Lincoln
County with her husband, two daughters, Mrs. Clara Bryant and Mrs. Alma
McKinnon, and five sons: Elmer, William, David, Alva and Arthur King, all
residing in this place or vicinity. There are also 9 grandchildren. Mrs.
McKinnon and Alva King are twins, born on the 4th of July, 1876, and
her death occurred on the 31st birthday of her eldest son, E. E.
King. The deceased was an exceptionally Christian woman, a sympathetic and
kindly neighbor, a true and loving helpmate to a now sorrowing husband, and an
affectionate and devoted mother. (LCT)

Chester
Lowary
Mary
Lowary
The family of Frank Lowary, living some nine miles east of Davenport, have been sorely afflicted recently. Some two or three weeks ago two young children of the family, a boy, Chester, 3 years, and a girl, Mary, aged 2 years, were taken down with that most dangerous of all
diseases, cerebral meningitis. It is an ailment
that baffles the skill of all physicians, and is exceptionally painful
to the afflicted. Everything possible to relieve the little ones was
resorted to, and several physicians were summoned, but all in vain. Both
children were beyond hope for many days. Last week the little boy died and was
buried Sunday in the Davenport Cemetery. At the time of the funeral the little
girl was not expected to live from hour to hour, yet she lingered until Tuesday
when death came to her relief. It was a sad case and the parents have the
sympathy of the whole community. (LCT) Among the many visitors at this office
during the week was James Lowary, father of Frank Lowary, who lives a few miles
southeast of town. The senior Lowary was called from his home in Idaho by the
recent illness and death of his son’s children. The old gentleman, although
now a resident of a neighboring state, can claim being one of the pioneer
settlers of this county. He crossed the plains from Kansas in 1879 with a large
company of emigrants, some of who are now living in this vicinity. He located
first in Oregon. Mr. Lowary moved into what is now Lincoln County in 1883, and
resided here for a number of years. His children grew up to manhood and
womanhood on the homestead near here. He is now living with one of his sons in
Idaho. Time has bleached his hair and corrugated his countenance, but Mr. Lowary
is still a man of considerable vigor. (LCT-May 26, 1899)

Joseph
H. Hughes
We
see by the Review that Joseph H. Hughes, of Republic, died in that camp last
Sunday. Many of the old residents of Lincoln county remember Joe Hughes, and
will learn of his death with feelings of genuine sorrow. Mr. Hughes was one of
the old pioneers of Spokane County. Away back in the early ‘8o’s he located
in Cheney, was for a time in John Davenport’s bank, afterwards opening a
hardware store in that city in which he continued until Harrison was elected
President ten years ago, when he was appointed receiver of the US land office at
Spokane, which office he filled for four years. At the expiration of his term he
was deputy state grain inspector. When the Republic excitement broke out in
company with W S Strong he opened a bank at that place. Recently he was taken
down with the grip, which resulted fatally. We have known the deceased many
years and a kinder, warmer hearted, more generous gentleman we have never known.
He had innumerable friends everywhere, one and all of whom will sincerely mourn
his untimely death of this genial gentleman. (LCT)

C.
F. Phar
Mr.
C. F. Phar, a pioneer of northern Lincoln County, passed away at his home about
a mile east of Larene, Monday of this week, after an illness of only a few days.
Pneumonia was the immediate cause of death. Mr. Phar with his family came to
Lincoln County in 1882, and had resided
continuously on his farm about seven miles north of Davenport ever since. He had
become a familiar figure in town, where he had supplied patrons with the produce
of his orchard and garden for many years. An honest, industrious well meaning
citizen, content with his humble lot, he passes to his reward esteemed by his
neighbors as one who had ever shown himself worthy of their confidence and
respect. Simple services were held at the home of the departed Tuesday by Rev.
Creel assisted by Rev. Shields. The deceased leaves a wife and family of seven
grown sons and daughters, all of whom are married excepting the youngest son who
lives near the old homestead. He was born in Evansville, IN, Nov 2, 1830,
married Nov 13, 1858 and had lived on his present farm about 17 years. He had
identified himself with the Seventh day Adventists about 20 years ago, and was
an earnest and conscientious advocate of the teachings of Adventism. Only two
days before, his aged father-in-law, Isaac Leabo, had died from a stroke of
paralysis, in his 84th year. The mother-in-law still remains, and is
80 years of age. (LCT)

Another
old settler passed away and another old soldier answered the last roll call
Monday when Jas Snyder, of Egypt, died after a long illness. The deceased has
been almost helpless from a stroke of paralysis for some three years, and while
his immediate death was not the result of that affliction, his demise was
expected at almost any time. Mr. Snyder has lived in the county a dozen years.
He was a man of probity, a good citizen and a kind and generous neighbor. Those
who knew him best speak of him in terms of the highest praise. He was a veteran
of the Civil War, having served throughout the rebellion. He was a member of the
Ancient Order of United Workmen of the Oregon jurisdiction, and it was his
request that the funeral be conducted by that order. The funeral took place from
the ME Church Wednesday. A large representation from the AOUW, a delegation of
the members of the GAR, a squad of Battery A, and a large concourse of friends
and neighbors followed the remains to the cemetery. (LCT)

George
Condin
Last
Thursday, a week ago, George Condin of Condin’s Ferry, was mowing hay with a
mowing machine, and was carrying a double barreled shot gun across his lap,
being prepared to kill some prairie chickens he had seen in the field. He had
made a couple of rounds of the field when the gun accidentally slipped from his
grasp, one of the hammers striking firmly against some part of the mower,
discharged one barrel of the weapon, the charge taking effect in his left side
below the heart, tearing a hole entirely through the unfortunate man. The team,
being a gentle one, immediately stopped and George had presence of mind enough
to climb down from the machine, pick the gun up and lay it across the machine,
then he sat down and in a minute or more he lay on the ground. A man who was
working with him in the field saw all these movements except the discharge of
the gun, and thought nothing of seeing George in a sitting posture supposing
something had gone wrong with his machine, until he was seen to lie down. Then
it was his companion surmised something wrong and came running up. George told
him he had been shot, and the gun had been so close to him when discharged, that
it set his clothing on fire and Condin was pulling his clothes away to see the
wound, which was a ghastly one. George’s companion immediately started to the
house for assistance but on returning, they found George dead. He was buried on
the reservation side of the river Friday. George Condin leaves a wife and two
children. His brother, William Condin, was at Loomis when this accident
happened, but was starting home, and did not hear of it until he reached a point
near the river. It was found, on examination, that the top of the hammer of the
fatal barrel had been broken off, so hard was the blow it received when it came
in contact with the mower.—Wilbur Register (LCT)

George
Gibson Glasscock
A
very sad case of drowning occurred on the Perry Lamona place in the south part
of the county, last Thursday evening, the victim being George Gibson Glasscock,
the 3 year old child of Mr. & Mrs. Harrison Glasscock, old and well known
residents of the county. The Glasscocks have been living on the old Bigham
place, some 16 miles southeast of Harrington. Recently Mr. Glasscock had
arranged to move to Harrington, and Thursday hauled his last load of goods to
town. Desiring to bid Mr. & Mrs. Lamona goodbye, Mrs. Glasscock, accompanied
by the child, whom the family had given a pet name of Joe, walked over to the
Lamona home, which is about a half mile from the Bigham place. The yard of Mr.
Lamona’s home slopes down to Crab Creek, which is some five feet deep at that
point and crossed by a foot board. Little Joe and a three year old daughter of
Mr. & Mrs. Lamona were out in the yard together. After a time a man working
about the premises noticed the little girl on the creek bank alone. He spoke to
the ladies, and a search for Joe was at once set on foot. Mrs. Glasscock did not
at first feel alarmed, as she supposed the child might have returned home. The
little girl would not, or could not, say what had become of the little boy.
Search was continued, and the creek was dragged. When Mrs. Glasscock returned
without finding the child, the men were called in from the field. After an hour
and a half from the time the child was missed one of the men found the body in
the creek only a few feet from the crossing. After the body was found the little
girl said the boy had attempted to cross the creek and had fallen in. It was a
very sad affair, and the family has the sympathy of the whole surrounding
country. Mr. Glasscock is a brother of Mrs. J. W. Anderson of Davenport. The
funeral took place at Harrington Saturday, and there was a very large attendance
both at the church and cemetery. (LCT)

to be appendicitis. The poor lad was without means and it was some time before
the proper authorities could take the case in hand. Becker was brought to
Davenport Friday. Here word was received from the Portland Chamber of Commerce
to take the patient to Spokane for treatment. Saturday morning Dr. Whitney and
County Physician Moore took Becker to Spokane where he was operated upon the
same afternoon, but he only survived the operation until the next morning. Young
Becker enlisted in Co K, Second Oregon Volunteers, and served with the regiment
during the campaign at Manila. During the summer he was discharged from the

he was operated upon it was discovered that one of the intestines was
perforated, and that death was only a question of a very short time. (LCT)
