PATRICK ROSE KILLED IN LOG ACCIDENT
  Patrick E. Rose, 19, son of Mr. and Mrs. G. L. Rose, of Elochoman Valley, 
was fatally injured Saturday afternoon when he was hit by a rolling log at 
the Joe Florak logging operation.
  The young logger died while being rushed to a hospital in Longview.  Rose 
and a fellow logger were sitting on a log eating when it began to roll.  The 
other man escaped the rolling log, but Rose was hit by it as he fled.
  Rose was born in Castle Rock, Jan. 20, 1932, and is survived by his 
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Gl. L. Rose, Cathlamet; four brothers, Dale L. of the 
U. S. Army; David, Daniel and Michael, all of Cathlamet; grandparents, Mr. 
and Mrs. Fred Harper of Morton and Mrs. John Rose, Cathlamet.  Rose attended 
grade and high school in Cathlamet.
  Funeral services were held Thursday at the Assembly of God church with Rev. 
O. E. Marr officiating.
  Pallbearers were Ulysess Savarian, William D. Angell, Joe Florak, Lowell 
Trimble, Howard Clark and Frank Olson.
  Pat Rose was a lover of music.  His favorite hymns, accompanied by Spanish 
and steel guitar, were played during the funeral.  They are “The Old Rugged 
Cross”, “Beautiful Garden of Prayer” and “Sometimes It’s Hard To Understand”.  
Friends and loved ones will miss their songbird, and companion during hunting 
season.
  Interment was in Greenwood Cemetery.  Hatton Funeral Home was in charge.
