Buck, Ella E Ahlf: (1897-1926); w/o Philip; “The entire community was shocked last Saturday to learn of the sudden death of Mrs Phillip Buck of this city. Early that morning she had seemed in the best of health and had gone out to the car to see her husband off to his day’s work on the North Central highway patrol and had discussed with him the plans for a day’s outing on the river. A few hours later she came up town to seek medical attention as she was suffering a severe pain in the abdominal cavity. About noon her husband was sent for and he arrived perhaps an hour before she died. Two physicians were in attendance at the time of death, the cause being given as internal hemorrhage. Ella Esther Ahlf, 29, was born at Davenport and attended the schools in that city. In 1913, while still a girl, she married Phillip Buck of Davenport and until two years ago they made their home in Davenport. The family then moved to Harrington where Mr Buck could be near his work on the highway patrol. Their only child, Floyd, a boy of 12 years, was placed in school here. An unusual circumstance appears in that three sisters and a brother in the Ahlf family married three brothers and a sister in the Buck family. Mrs Ella Esther Buck is survived by her husband, one son, Floyd, two sisters, Mrs Lizzie and Mrs Sadie Buck, both of Davenport; and three brothers, Edward and Cecil Ahlf of Davenport; and John Ahlf of Medical Lake. In 1920 Mrs Buck was confirmed in the Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church in Davenport and the funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon in that church. The body was in charge of J E Turner and interment took place at the Lutheran Cemetery at Davenport. Mr Buck stated that he would leave his son with relatives at Davenport to attend school.” (Harrington Citizen: 11-19-1926)

The fire originated from a defective stove pipe, which passed through the roof. Mr Buck had left a little before for a load of wood and Mrs Buck was busy with her daily work when she discovered the ceiling was on fire. Mr Buck did not learn of the loss until his return that evening. Only a little over $250 insurance was carried on the building and its contents.” (Davenport Times of April 25, 1996 in 100 Yrs Ago reflecting LCT: 4-24-1896) “John Buck of Spokane, 66, 2nd marriage, born Alsace-Lorraine, farmer, son of David Buck and Barbara Buck.

saddened Monday morning by the news that Dr C S Bumgarner, county health officer
and a practicing physician here for 21 years, had passed away at the Sacred
Heart hospital in Spokane about 8 a.m. Relatives were informed about 7
a.m. that the doctor’s condition was critical, and started for Spokane, but he
had passed away before they arrived. Dr Bumgarner contracted a bad cold
Christmas night, and was forced to take to his bed Dec 27 and 28. He insisted on
arising Tuesday of last week to care for patients who were quite ill, and
refused to return to his bed until he became critically ill New Year’s Eve.

hospital in the Phillips ambulance and he was placed in an oxygen tent. He
seemed to be rallying nicely Sunday evening, but suffered a setback during the
night. The funeral will be held at the Presbyterian church here at 1:30
pm. today, Thursday, with the Rev Lee Knoll of Davenport and the Rev I O
Shenefelt of Spokane officiating. Interment will be in Mountain View Cemetery.

at Thornton, WA, where the family resided for 14 years. They then moved to
Marcus, where the doctor had charge of hospitals at Marcus and Northport.
Twenty-one years ago the family came to Davenport. Few residents of Davenport in
all its history have played as important a part in community life as did Dr
Bumgarner. He was county health officer for 20 years, and also served as city
health officer at various times. He served six years on the Davenport school
board and was one of those instrumental in the consolidation of rural districts
with the city school, and in establishing the first school bus routes. He
was always an active member of the commercial club and served as its president
in 1931. He was a member of the Knights of Pythias, the Masons, the Eastern

She became ill Friday night, at the home of her daughter, Mrs Henry Vick, in Harrington, and was brought to the hospital that night. Mrs Burge spent much of the summer of 1965 at the Vick home following a long hospitalization after she was injured in a car accident.

Burge,
Mary E: (1835-1905);
w/o RA; “Mary E Burge. Dated May 23, 1905. Married” (Methodist Ledger) Mary
Elizabeth Burge was born at Winchester, Scott County, Illinois, July 30. 1835;
and died at her home in Davenport Monday afternoon, May 22, 1905. Sister Burge
was a sufferer for months from a complication of physical troubles. Her
sufferings were at times very severe. But she bore up under them all with
delightful Christian resignation and peace of mind. Her life of patient
suffering during her illness proved her strong faith in the living God, who was
able to keep and succor her. Sister Burge was the daughter of Rev. I. M.
Kirkpatrick. Her early life was therefore blessed by the benedictions and
influences of a Christian home. It was while under the care of a Christian
father and a devoted mother that she happily converted and joined the Methodist
church. Her conversion was bright and her Christian life consistent. Sister
Burge was never very demonstrative in her religious feelings, yet she had a
fervent faith and a bright experience. Whenever asked by her pastor concerning
her hope in the future bliss of eternal life, she invariably expressed her
undying love for her Savior and her face would brighten with the radiance of the
bright hope that possessed her heart, well may we say of her “Blessed are the
dead which die in the Lord.” Mrs. Burge was married to Mr. Reason Anderson
Burge at New London, Iowa, on April 6, 1854. Their married life, of over 51
years, was blessed with the issue of eight children, six of whom survive their
mother. (submitted) {Edit: Some of these children were: William, Estella, Fred,
Alice, Emma, Eliza, James, and Jessie (male).}
