MRS ARTHUR ALBIN
One of the saddest deaths the Monitor has chronicled in a long time is the death
of Mrs. Arthur ALBIN. Mrs. ALBIN, in company with her husband, was on the way to
Bellingham the morning of July 6th when their car collided with another car, injuring
Mrs. ALBIN so seriously that she was taken to the St. Joseph's hospital at Bellingham,
where she passed away Saturday night.
Lillian Hillier was born at Stanford, Mt. April 1, 1919. Four children were born
to this union, Florence, Robert, Francis and Gerald, who with their father are left
to mourn her death. Other members of the family are her mother Mrs. Lillian Hillier
of Duvall, three sisters and five brothers. Mr. and Mrs. ALBIN, with other members of
the family came to this state eight years ago.
Death is always sad but doubly so when it enters the home and takes a dear wife
and mother. Words of sympathy seem futile. It is, however from the hearts of friends
and neighbors alike. We sorrow with you. Funeral services were held from the funeral
parlors of E.E. Purdy & Sons on Tuesday afternoon. Rev. V.C. Widney officiating. The
remains were laid to rest in the IOOF cemetery.

Charles Alexander, who has worked in Ole Oleson's logging camp for the past year met
with an accident near Maltby last night that will probably prove fatal. In some way

being cut in numerous places, his right arm being grushed at the elbow, so as to
require amputation, should he live through the operation, and the big toe of his
right foot was cut off. He was brought here on the 10 o'clock train this morning,
having lain out several hours before being discovered and sent to the Everett
hospital.

his silent form should be finally laid at rest. Last night the widow died at an

these years the body has been lying on a slab waiting until death should also claim
the wife.

The funeral of the late Erhard ANDERSON , mention of whose death was made last
week in the columns of the Monitor, was held Saturday, June 18 from the IOOF, hall,
Monroe. Rev. P.H. Raymond, reformatory chaplain, officiated at this service and was
assisted by Mrs. W.L. Lillemoen, pianist, Mrs. W.E. Selwood and Miss Dickenson, who
sang in duet. The casket, in which reposed the remains of Mr. ANDERSON, was a very
costly one, and the floral tributes large in number. The pall bearers were N.P.
Heintz, S. Pownall, Richard Corby, Hans Bertilson, Robt. Schalkau and George Austin.
Mr. Raymond spoke briefly as he usually does and especially on such an occasions.
Erhard ANDERSON was born in Berlin, Germanay in 1856, was 68 years, 6months and 6
days of age at the time of his death. He came to America quite early in life and
settled in Shawane, Wis., where he was united in marriage to Miss Bertha Miller. One
child, a daughter, was born to this union, Mauretta Louise. He also spent some time
in Michigan, lumbering. Following the death of his beloved wife he removed to
Washington, coming to Snohomish county sometime in the neighborhood of 36 years ago.
He was engaged in the blacksmithing business in Monroe for a number of years up to
about fifteen years ago, when he retired from that trade to take up farming, and made
a great success of this industry and for which he seemed to have a natural
adaptability. He followed this occupation up to December 6, 1918, when occurred the
death from flu of "Johnnie" a young man whom he raised, and who was as dear to him as
a natural son. Mr. ANDERSON never rallied from the death of this boy and about four
years ago suffered a paralytic stroke and had been in very poor health. He spent the
intervening time between the home of his daughter in Seattle, and the home ranch,
Tualco, which he owned at the time of his death and which place is the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Richard Corby. He leaves one daughter, Mrs. John Wollenschlager, Seattle, to
mourn his death, and hosts of friends who are sorry that he has gone. He was a good
father and a fine friend.

MILL WATCHMAN IS FOUND DROWNED IN BAY EARLY SUNDAY
Martin E. ANDERSON Falls Into Water at Clark-Nickerson Mill
ACCIDENT OCCURS IN SHALLOW WATER
Falling into shallow water near the log slip at the Clark-Nickerson mill, Martin E.
ANDERSON 60, 3415 Hoyt avenue, night watchman of the plant for the past eighteen
years was found drowned Sunday morning. Workman going to the mill about 10 o'clock
discovered the body and summoned the police and County Coroner Stowell Challacombe.
Mr. ANDERSON's watch was still running when his body was removed from the water
but the watchman's clock, which he carried at his side, stopped at 4:28 o'clock.
The report tape showed that the watchman had punched in at one of the stations at
4:20 o'clock. Near by was found Mr. ANDERSON's lantern. The point at which the
watchman fell into the water was said to have been about 20 feet distant from the
lantern.
The death, said Coroner Challacombe, was purely accidental. Mr. ANDERSON, said the
police, had been suffering from a chronic aliment for a number of years and it is
believed that he stepped out of the building for a breath of air. He is thought
either to have tripped and fallen through the log slip or to have fainted while
standing near the edge, falling into the water.
Mr. ANDERSON was born in Gayville, SD April 7, 1872, and had been a resident of
Everett for 30 years. In addition to a widow Ethel, he is survived by four daughters,
Mrs. Alice Phillipy of Everett, Mrs. Myrtle A. (illegible) and Miss Florence ANDERSON
at home, and three sons, Ralph, John and Eugene ANDERSON at home.

Anton Lawrence AUBREY, popular Monroe citizen, whose home for the past few years
has been at 135 Charles Street, was instantly killed a few minutes past 8 o'clock
Saturday morning, Dec. 15, while at work for the Panther Lake Logging Co. He was
employed as a loader and had about finished the loading of a car and had turned to
complete the loading of another coupled-in car when a log slipped, caught him and
pinned him against the main load, crushing his life out almost instantaneously. The
remains were brought to the Purdy parlors in Monroe, where until Wednesday they
awaited burial.
Funeral services were held at 2 o'clock that afternoon in Purdy's chapel, Rev.
C.B. Archer officiating, and the burial was made in Odd Fellows cemetery. Deceased

parents still reside. December 13, 1916, he was united in marriage with Serena Penny
and to this union two children were born, Roland and Mildred, two beautiful little
tots, one past five, the girl about 4 years of age. In 1917 they came to Washington,

highly spoken of by all his co-laborers and in fact all who knew Tony admired him,

and father.

Mrs. Amelia J. AUSTIN, widow of the late Grannis W. AUSTIN, died Friday evening,
March 27th, at her home. The cause of her death was cancer of the breast, from which
she had been a sufferer more than a year. Mrs. AUSTIN was one of the pioneers of this
section, having come to Tualco valley in 1873, when there were only a few cleared
farms, and all the land was heavily wooded, the only transportation being by way of
the river to Snohomish. Mr. AUSTIN took up a quarter section of land on the south
bank of the Skykomish river, out of which he made one of the best farms in the
county, and which, after possessing for thirty-five years, is now left to the heirs.
Mrs. AUSTIN was one of the leading ladies of the community, taking a prominent
part in all the social events. Since the establishemnt of the M.E. church in Monroe,
she has been one of its main supporters. Mrs. AUSTIN was born January 4th, 1849, at
Joliet, Ill. While an infant she came to Ca. with her parents in 1851, by way of the
Isthmus of Panama. She was married to Grannis W. AUSTIN in California, November 16,
1865, and together they came to Snohomish Co., landing on the 10th day of June, 1873.
Five of the children born to them preceded both father and mother to the spirit
world, the husband dying April 27th, 1906.
The funeral was held at the M.E. church Monday afternoon at 1:30, at which the
attendance was one of the largest ever seen in Monroe, many oldtimers coming from a
distance to pay their last respects to their honored friend. The funeral sermon was
preached by Rev. J. McKean, who also sang a solo, "Death Only a Dream". Rev. S.V.
Warren also spoke fellingly of the departed sister. A selected choir rendered several
beautiful selections. The church was beautifully decorared with flowers, the
altar being decorated by the ladies of the church; the Rebekahs presented a wreath of
roses and carnations, the Ladies of the Maccabees a wreath of roses with the letters
"L.O.R.M." and the Knights of Pythias a wreath "Gates Ajar." The Rebeccas and
Maccabees attended in a body, Mrs. AUSTIN being a member of both orders. The body was
laid beside that of her husband in the cemetery.
