In Hood River valley, January 8, 1899, of whooping cough, Sarah Elinor, infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T.R. Coon, aged 2 months and 17 days.
There are times when one almost questions the goodness and mercy of God. A tender plant is given into the family whose tendrils go out and intertwine themselves about the heart of each member; suddenly and almost without warning they are torn away, leaving the home desolate and the hearts torn and bleeding. Little "Dottie" made a place for herself that can never be filled, and there are wounded hearts which only time can heal. Our loss is her gain, "The child of our adoption" is only transplanted.

DEATH OF GEORGE C. JONES, JR.
Appleton, Wis., Daily Post, Jan. 9, 1899

Friends of the deceased, and that of the family of which he was a member, have been very much shocked today to hear of the death last night of George C. Jones, jr., son of George C. Jones, and a brother of Dr. F. W. Jones and E. G. Jones. Death was the result of a stroke of paralysis sustained at about 6 o'clock last evening. The young man lingered until 12:30 o'clock when the spirit took its departure. George Jones had been away from home for the past eight years, having been located in Oregon, where he was engaged in looking after large tracts of timber land, making his headquarters at Hood River and White Salmon. For many years he had not been in rugged health, and his going to the west in the first place, was as much as anything in the hope that the outdoor life which he expected to lead would be of benefit to him. Yesterday afternoon George went downtown twice, once at about three o'clock and again at about five o'clock, and it was shortly after his return from the second trip that he was stricken down. His brother E.G. Jones came home with him, and noticed that he seemed to be weaker than usual. Upon arriving home he said he would have lunch and would then retire. He sat down at the dinner table with his father, but had scarcely commenced to take nourishment when his head was drawn to one side and his father noticed that he was about to fail. He was unconscious from this time to the end and medical skill was unable to do anything for him. The deceased was in his thirty-ninth year. He was a graduate from Lawrence university in 1883.

G.A.R. RESOLUTIONS

At a regular meeting of Nesmith post, G. A. R., of The Dalles, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That we, the members of this post, in the death of our comrade, W.D. Jones, have suffered the loss of one of our most esteemed members, endeared to us by many years of association in our order; that we have lost a good friend, a true comrade and one that was a gallant soldier; the public has lost a useful and upright citizen, and his family a member whose place can never be refilled. To his family we tender our heartfelt sympathy in their bereavement.
Resolved, That we, the members of this post, judging from all the information we have, have reason to think that the action of the coroner's jury in the case of Comrade Jones, recently killed near Antelope, this county, did not fully explain the circumstances of the tragedy, and we hereby request that the proper authorities investigate all the facts leading up and ending in the death of said Comrade Jones, that full justice may be done.

The Oregonian says: "After a heroic and determined fight against death for nearly four years, she succumbed to the disease, consumption, which had attacked her, and which carried off also her brother Rufus and sister Flora. Through the years of her illness she was cheerful and tried to make as little care as possible to parents, who sought in every way to ward off the inevitable. Her noble character and sweet disposition have left a memory long to be cherished by her schoolmates and friends.

Ernest Jensen came up from Astoria on Tuesday and stopped at Hood River till Wednesday on his way to The Dalles. He has recently had a picture of his deceased wife enlarged. It is a fine picture, and those who knew her said it was the best work they had ever seen. The late Mrs. Jensen was Miss Mattie Foley, and the picture will be left with her parents here. Mr. Jensen was disappointed in going to Astoria. The firm that engaged his services there, he found out, wanted a cheap man, and as he wasn't of that caliber, didn't go to work for them. He will go to San Francisco, where a man of his abilities is pretty sure to strike a good salary.

TWO WRECKS

In the year 1891 two young men came to Dufur from Fresno, Calif., in search of work. Both were well dressed and bore the marks of good breeding and education in their countenances. One was a skilled jeweler and had a set of jeweler's tools with him. They easily secured temporary employment, but the first day one was taken ill. His friend had him taken to shelter and for several days provided for his sick companion by sacrificing trinkets of his own. The sick man was removed to a hotel and had the best of medical skill and nursing, his companion hardly leaving his side for necessary rest, but all to no avail for in a little over a week Ed Albaugh died in his friend's arms and lies buried in the cemetery over the hill. Pride would not allow the survivor to have his dead friend buried at the expense of strangers, so he sold his own jeweler's tools and all personal belongings to pay expenses of the illness and funeral. This man who showed so much nobleness of character was D.R. Carmichael, the same D.R. Carmichael who last week attempted to take the $275 from the dead body of his mother who was drowned at the wreck of the Weeott at Humbolt Bar, Calif., and ordered her buried without expense.
It is a sad story that ___ in the last seven years of the lives of this young man and his mother, a story seldom equaled in the complete ruination of a noble man by alcohol or the devotion of a loving mother for an erring son. Those who have watched the curtain rise and fall on the different acts of this tragedy do not know all, but they know this noble woman gave up her elegant home and family in Nebraska and spent the last four or five years and all her fortune in the effort to save her boy. From the bright business man of eight years ago, whose good qualities, drunk or sober, kept friends about him, young, Carmichael became a "whiskey fiend" whom all recognized to be beyond reformation except his mother, the nursed him out of delirium and took him repeatedly to out of the way places, away from temptation; at one time purchasing a home in Hood River valley and keeping him there a year or more. This last and fatal trip on the Weeott is supposed to have been taken by this poor woman to find a new home for her inebriate son, and when the vessel went to pieces on the jetty and the unfortunate woman was drowned, this wreck of a once noble manhood, who had sold his belongings to bury his friend, attempted to rob the body of his dead mother who had given up home, fortune and life for him -- attempted to take her purse, containing $275, and ordered her body thrown into a box and buried without expense.
This is not as a warning to drinking men; such rails never serve as a warning; it is simply one of the last scenes in the life of a man who "could drink whiskey or let it alone, just as he desired," or thought he could when we first met him. - Dufur Dispatch.

A H. Tieman willed his property to Hood River Lodge, No. 105, A.F. & A.M.. A.S. Blowers, Wm. M. Yates and E.E. Savage were made executors of the will.

It consists of 220 acres of land in the Baldwin district, with a good house, barn and other buildings, 40 head of cattle and other stock. The executors are made trustees of the property bequeathed, to dispose of it to the best advantage, and will have charge of the building to be erected by the proceeds. By this will Hood River will be the winner by having another brick building, and the Masonic lodge will be greatly benefited. Deceased left no family nor any near relatives.
