Gay, Robert   d. 12-28-1934
"Sacrificed on Altar of Heart's Desire. The Yuletide season brought contending emotions to the family of Mr and Mrs Robert E Gay, who for eleven years were residents of Harrington where Mr Gay edited and published The Citizen from 1916 to 1927, but who have been residents of Prosser, Washington since 1927 where Mr Gay owns, edits and publishes The Prosser Record-Bulletin. The holidays brought joy when they brought home to complete the family circle for Christmas and New Years the two elder children, Miss June and Robert Jr, students pursuing their college education at the Washington State College where the uncle of these children, Dr C C Todd, is dean of the college of science and arts-the same educational institution that is the Alma Mater of both parents of these children. But overshadowing this joy there lurked the chilling clutch of sorrow. Death, who ever stalks humanity's pathways, on Friday, Dec 28, stepped in and wrote 'finis' to all the hopes and desires of as worthy a young citizen as ever graced an American home, when Robert Jr was drowned in the Yakima River following the striking of a rock with his home-made canoe, in the rapids. In the midst of a gloriously vigorous young life surging through a fine physique, endowed with intelligence, manliness, and gentleness, with a future of rosy promise just dawning into the realms of human usefulness, surrounded by loving parents, admiring relatives and friends in high places in the walks of life-'Then Came Schenacarib!'. And Death wrote 'finis' to all the hopes, dreams and aspirations for him of justly proud and loving parents..... Robert Gay Jr loved the outdoors. From childhood he had slept out of doors, sometimes when the mercury dropped to 30 below zero. He had been prominent in the Boy Scouts, was a member of the National Guard company at Prosser, and was one of the best swimmers and divers in that little city of sunshine and irrigation. He had 'hardened' himself into a fine young athlete. The trend of his desires was manifest in the naming of the canoe he built and christened the 'Wanderlust' and likewise in his choosing of college activities when he selected mining and geology for his course. He had worked studiously at odd times in constructing that canoe, every line of which showed careful though, painstaking workmanship and wise planning. Few boys could construct such a nifty little water craft. The Harrington friends of the Gays are deeply saddened by the untimely departure of this promising young man, who would have been 19 years old next Sunday, Jan 6, 1935. The funeral services were held at the Prosser Funeral Home on Tuesday, Jan 1, 1935 and cremation, a wish expressed long since by 'Bobby' followed. And next spring when the grass greens, the roses bloom, and the song of the birds mingle with the odors of God's wild flower gardens, his ashes will be sown to the winds that kiss the Horse Heaven Hills. Here 'Bobbie' had delighted to roam in those great open spaces where the eye could look away over a vast sweep of the geological wonders of the Creator's handiwork. The day-to-day story of the tragedy as it appeared in dispatches to the daily papers from Prosser, follows: Prosser, Wash., Dec 28.-Between 400 and 500 men answered a call for volunteers here this afternoon when it was learned that Robert Gay, 18, son of R E Gay, editor of the Record-Bulletin, was missing after the boat he was in capsized three miles below here in the Yakima River. He was accompanied by Walton La Fleur, a newspaper employee, who swam to safety, but was in a condition near collapse, caused by exposure and unable to give a coherent account of the tragedy tonight. Both left here this morning in a canoe on a camping trip, bound ultimately for Patterson, via the Yakima and Columbia rivers. The boat capsized in the rapids after hitting a rock. The men clung to an inflated inner tube, but La Fleur finally struck for the north bank, barely making shore. Gay was last seen by La Fleur, clinging to the tube. Late today their boat was reported recovered eight miles below here, by George Hosko, farmer, who was cutting wood by the river bank. Hosko also reported seeing an inner tube floating upright shortly before the boat passed, which led searchers to concentrate on the tube, on the theory that the body might be held by the improvised lifeboat.... Prosser, Wash., Dec 30.-The body of Robert Gay, 18, Washington State College student and son of R E Gay, editor here, was recovered from the Yakima river at 1:15 p.m. today by Ed Crosby, Rattlesnake farmer, with a gaff hook in 10 feet of water near the Kemp sheep ranch, not more than 150 yards from where Gay was last seen clinging to an inflated inner tube by Walton La Fleur, newspaper employee, his companion in the ill-fated outing that was to take them to Patterson via the Yakima and Columbia rivers in their homemade canoe. La Fleur who chose to leave the improvised life belt and reach short in a semi-conscious condition, is much improved today. The body, though well preserved, bore mute evidence of Gay's struggle, both top buckles of the overshoes being unfastened. A strong swimmer, Gay, anticipating inclement weather, had clothed himself in two heavy shirts and two suits of underwear, which undoubtedly diminished his chances of swimming to shore."

Goudge, (Rev) Ernest 9-13-1940
"Minister's Life Story of Work. The Sunday Spokesman-Review carried the following interesting story of the life of Rev Ernest Goudge: 'The life of the Rev Ernest Goudge, supply pastor of Mabton and Parker, who died last week, could well serve as basis for a character in a novel as an illustration of the American tradition. His home was near Millwood, where his widow and son , Carlton, a junior at the University of Washington, live. The Rev Ernest Goudge was born near Devonshire, England, one of 14 children. His father was a minister who eked out the family living as a China clay worker. He was able to give his 14 children fourth grade educations. Thereafter, they were obliged to go to work to help out the family income. The Rev Mr Goudge was a dreamer of dreams. he used to sit on the fence facing the ocean near his home and watch great ships that plied between England and America. Some day he would go to America. Some day he would make something of himself. But how? He didn't know but he worked and saved toward this objective. He worked , like his father, in China clay pits. Later he became an engineer of a water wheel and earned 16 cents a day. He worked at this job six years and saved his money and by the time he was 22, what with one job and another, he had saved enough to finance a trip to America. He had an uncle in DeLamar, Idaho, a mining camp, and made this the end of his rainbow. Eventually he arrived , a young man in search of a job. He went underground in the mines and learned what hard labor meant, and for six years followed mining in Idaho, Arizona and Colorado with numerous vicissitudes, some happy, most discouraging, but still he kept to his dreams of making something of himself. Like his father he aspired to become a minister but with a fourth grade education, how could he accomplish such an ambition? It meant that he, full-grown man, 28 years old, would have to start school with children. He would be derided and humiliated but he felt the sacrifice was worth while. He went to Willamette, Oregon, where he began going to school with children and worked so assiduously that he completed four grades in one year. Eventually he entered Willamette University, graduated, took his seminary work at the academy and became an ordained minister. The Rev Mr Goudge held several Congregational pastorates, one at The Dalles, Ore., one at Hillyard. Ten years ago he met with an automobile accident which necessitated the amputation of his left leg. But recovering, he carried on and at his death was doing supply work for the Presbyterians, although he had been a Congregationalist all his life. The Rev Joel Harper, who officiated at his funeral services, Aug 28, stated, 'The Rev Mr Goudge was held in the highest esteem by a host of friends, many of whom were present at the funeral services. The Rev W J Howell, executive secretary of the Presbyterian church of western Washington..." (cut off, Citizen: 3-13-1931)
