Final rites for Edward R. Hoekstra, prominent Lynden contractor and builder who plunged to his death from the water tank at the Dairy Association plant last Thursday, were held Monday afternoon at the First Christian Reformed Church. Paying an unusually touching tribute to the memory of the Lynden man, the auditorium of the church was crowded to its full capacity, and many beautiful floral offerings were given. Private services at the family home preceded the public rites at the church, the Rev. D. Hollebeek officiating at the latter. Burial was made in the Monumenta cemetery under the direction of the Axlund Funeral Home. Mr. Hoekstra passed away last Thursday within a few minutes after he had fallen from the high tank. He was engaged in making repairs at the Lynden plant of the Whatcom County Dairymen's Association. There was no eye witnesses to the tragedy. Hearing the thump of a body striking the ground, Oscar Mock, plant manager, who was nearby rushed to the scene of the accident. An ambulance and physician were summoned immediately, but Hoekstra died while he was being placed in the conveyance.
Born in Harlingen, Holland, on April 11, 1885, Mr. Hoekstra came to the United States in March, 1910, and shortly after his arrival in this country, he reached Lynden. He had made his home here since coming to America with the exception of short intervals spent in Alaska, Seattle, Everett, and other coast points. Mr. and Mrs. Hoekstra were married in Lynden in 1920. Under Mr. Hoekstra's direction, many of the imposing public building and beautiful homes of the city were erected during the last fifteen years. He was a conscientious worker and employer, and the building projects which he handled furnished ten of thousands of dollars for Lynden labor and materials. Mr. Hoekstra was a member of the First Christian Reformed Church, the Whatcom County Dairymen's Association, and the Washington Co-Operative Egg and Poultry Association. He was 49 years old. Surviving relatives include the widow, Mrs. Maggie Hoekstra; one son, Harold; one daughter, Elizabeth (Peggy); one sister, Mrs. J. De Jong; two brothers in Holland, and several nieces and nephews.

By the death of Herman Hofercamp at the home of his daughter, Mrs. James D. Stephens, in Seattle, yesterday, Bellingham and the Northwest loses one of its most interesting historical characters, as he had been identified with the Northwest for nearly half a century. He was 74 years of age at the time of his death. Several months ago he was attacked with jaundice and left his home in this city for the home of his daughter in Seattle, where he had been receiving treatments at the hands of skilled physicians. For a time it was thought he was about to regain his health, but a relapse came which ended in death yesterday.
In the early days on Puget Sound he was identified with the Hudson Bay Company, holding a responsible position and later he removed to the former town of Sehome, holding a position with the Bellingham Bay Coal Company. He retired from active business life a few years ago. Highly educated and progressive Mr. Hofercamp took an active interest in the affairs of state. Years ago he was a popular contributor to Harper's Weekly, his contributions being of an historical nature leading up to the publication of facts concerning the history-making epochs at the time the San Juan archipelago was in dispute and at the date when England was trying to wrest the islands from American domination. He is survived by two daughters and three sons, Mrs. Medill Connell of Bellingham; Mrs. James D. Stephens of Seattle; Francis H., of Victoria, B. c.; Charles E., of Everett; and Edwin, of Bellingham. Funeral services will be held in this city at a date to be announced later.

DR. C. L. HOLT IS DEAD The life of one of the most useful citizens of Bellingham and of a sterling "soldier of the Cross" came to an end at a local hospital Saturday at 4:45 p. m. when Dr. Charles L. Holt, a resident of Bellingham for thirty-three years, succumbed to a paralytic stroke which attacked him about noon Saturday as he was picking apples at his residence, 2222 Yew street. He was 83 years of age on Friday, October 13, and his last birthday was celebrated on that date at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Catherine Sutherland. The funeral was held this afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Garden Street church, of which he was one of the founders and in which he had been an officer for more than twenty-five years. By profession Dr. Holt was an oculist and aurist and he practiced here until his retirement in 1917. He was a member of the J. B. Steadman post, G. A. R., and of Bellingham Bay lodge No. 44, F. and A. M. He was active in each as he was in any worthy thing to which he gave his attention.

Dr. Holt was a most valuable member of the Garden Street church. For years he was superintendent of its Sunday school and always he was one of the church's leaders. He once taught adult Bible class and when he died he was a trustee. He was an exceptionally five Bible student and he was a wide reader in other fields. He had been a mason for more than fifty years.

He had been in a feeble condition for several months following a stroke of paralysis and the end did not come unexpectedly. Mr. Holtzheimer was born in Germany April 4, 1842, and was a little past 86 years of age. He came to this country when a lad of 16 years. Later he served his adopted country in the Civil war, and was a member of the G. A. R. He came to this section in 1871 and was among the few earliest settlers. In those days the settlement started along the bay and the creeks and it was on the bank of California creek that he selected his homestead. In the years intervening he made his home here continuously and loved to talk of the old days among his friends.Deceased secured in his younger days an excellent education and was probably as fluent and as interesting writer as this section ever boasted. Many times he has written for the Journal-Press and a number of times his writings were eagerly snapped up by magazines of wide circulation, one series of articles in particular being his experiences as a young man with an expedition in Colorado, we believe. He was a man of strict integrity and was honored and respected by all who had the good fortune to know him.

Except for about six years spent in British Columbia, he had lived on Puget Sound since 1882. In his boyhood days, Mr. Houghton went to school until he was 11 years of age and from that time on he obtained his education in the school of hard knocks.

He was in his 72d year and had undoubtedly been a very active man in his earlier life. His only known relative was a nephew, Anfin Anfinson, who came to Blaine several years ago, during which period he was an employee in the shingle mills of this city, residing with his uncle during his residence here. Latterly he was among the first to join the Alaska gold rush, and is supposed to be a resident of Skagway at the present time. During the latter days of his earthly existence, the sufferer was gently and patiently cared for by Mr. and Mrs. James Fenton. The funeral services were held in the Congregational church yesterday, the Rev. Mr. Dawson, officiating. The services were largely attended by the pioneer citizens, the neighbors and the friends of the deceased, who came to pay their final respects to the remains of the old pioneer. Peace to his ashes.

Another of the pioneer land marks of Blaine has passed away. Charles Hunt, who died at St. Luke's hospital on Saturday afternoon last at 5 o'clock, was probably as well known to both the old and recent residents of this vicinity as any whom we had in our midst. Mr. Hunt had been failing for some time with the infirmities of age and his demise was not wholly unexpected. Deceased came to the coast in the 60's from Long Island Sound, New York, and had been a resident of the environments of Blaine for upwards of thirty years. He was 70 years of age at the time of his death, and in early life was a sea-faring man having been at one time master of a fine merchantman. The remains were brought up by the steamer on Monday and the funeral obsequies held from the M. E. church amid a large gathering of sorrowing relatives and friends. The pastor, Rev. J. W. Kendall conducted the services using a portion of the second verse of the fifteenth chapter of St. Luke as his text. Thus one by one the old settlers, who blazed the way for habitation in this then wild and far-off section, are passing beyond the river. A few short years and the men of this class will be no more. Mr. Hunt had a large acquaintance in British Columbia who will grieve at his demise.

HUNTER, Charles F. (d. 1911)
Fred Hunter, whose illness was reported in last week's Journal, passed away last Saturday morning at 10:30 o'clock. The news of his death was a severe blow to his many friends, the majority of whom were not aware of the seriousness of his illness. Death was caused by peritonitis, following appendicitis, which caused the deceased to take to his bed just a week before the end. During his short illness he rallied several times and those near to him were given the hope that he would survive the attack.
Charles Frederick Hunter was born in Warren county, Pennsylvania, August 29, 1867, and resided in that state until 1890, when he removed to Blaine, residing here since. Two years later he entered the mill business here and at the time of his death we interested in the Erie Mill Company, the East & West Lumber Company, and the Campbell River Lumber Company. On February 13, 1896, he was united in marriage to Miss Frankie Tolford, at Latona, Wash., who with one son, survives him. Four sisters, Mrs. W. J. Shepard of this city, Mrs. J. B. Henry of Albany, N. Y., Mrs. W. L. Wade of Denver, Col., and Mrs. Mabel Chapman of Seattle and one brother, T. A. Hunter of this city, survive also.
The deceased was one of the best known men in Blaine and it can truthfully be said that he was one of the most universally respected men in Blaine. A man of upright character, industrious and unassuming man at all times, he was held in the highest esteem by all. For many years he personally managed the Erie shingle mill here, and in this capacity came directly in contact with the workmen, a large number of whom paid their last respects to their former employer at the funeral services. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. C. B. Seely from the M. E. church Monday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock. The church was filled to capacity and many were compelled to stand outside during the ceremony. The floral offerings to the departed were among the most numerous ever seen here. The sorrowing wife and son and members of the family have the sympathy of the community in their sudden bereavement.

SUMAS, Wednesday, Feb. 26. - Frank Huntley was killed and James Nelson and one, believed to be a Hindu, were injured at 4 o'clock this morning, on the Great Northern cut-off one and one-half miles from Sumas, when a steam shovel capsized. Huntley, who is the son of Mrs. George Sharp, was buried beneath the big machine and until the device is raised his body cannot be recovered. The two injured men were taken to the Abbotsford, B. C. hospital. The shovel, operated by the Puget Sound Bridge and Dredging Company, was excavating on the cut-off to Cloverdale, when it became fast in the embankment. To loosen it the machine was run backward and forward in the few feet of space available and it was while it was being maneuvered that it toppled over, pinioning Huntley before he had time to see his fate and causing narrow escapes to workmen near Nelson, the fireman, and the Hindu. It is expected that the dead man's body will be recovered today. It is thought the injured men will recover.
