BODY IDENTIFIED

    On the 7th of October last, George Alleck and Edwin Thomas, Indians, found the body of a man floating in the river below town. The coroner was summoned and an inquest failed to identify the body. Pockets cut open and bruises on the head showed that the man had been murdered and thrown into the river. The body, being badly decomposed, was interred by the coroner on the sand bar near where it was found. Monday of this week there arrived at the Mt. Hood hotel Mrs. Foster of Portland, who had recently learned of the discovery of this unknown body. She was fully convinced from the description of his clothing and general appearance that the man was her husband, who mysteriously disappeared during the latter part of September. His name was A. E. Foster, and he was last seen at Pendleton, on his way from LaGrande to Portland. He was 62 years old and an old settler in Eastern Oregon, having for years been the proprietor of the Meacham toll road, and was well known. He belonged to the Masonic order, and members of the Hood River lodge immediately interested themselves in helping to identify the body. The remains were disinterred on Wednesday were buried by the Masons in Idlewilde cemetery.

IN MEMORIAM

     On the 6th of February, Maggie, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Horace Stranahan, passed away at the early age of 11 years and 19 days. All that tender care and love could do did not avail to stay the progress of the disease. In their said bereavement the family have the heartfelt sympathy of the community. The remains of little Maggie were laid to rest in the K. of P. cemetery.

A lovely bud of promise --
     Of beauty bright and fair,
Has passed away forever,
     To dwell with Angels there.

Yes, our darling Maggie left us
     For a brighter home above,
Where sickness never enters,
     Nor parting never comes.

Oh! How hard it is to part
     With one we loved so well;
But was our Father called her home;
     We must bow before his will.

Folded the snow-white fingers,
     Dimmed are those laughing eyes;
But robed in glory now she treads
     The palace of the skies.

There, where life's work is ended,
     And our labor all is done,
She will bid us welcome,
     Were death can never come.

Dear father, mother, brother, sister, do not weep,
     She has gone to her long last rest;
Her life was full of suffering,
     And God on high knows best.

IN MEMORIAM

     At a meeting of the W.C.T.U., held at the residence of Mrs. W. H. Bishop, Thursday, Feb. 24th, plans were made to hold a memorial service at the home of Mrs. Hartley, on Thursday, March 3d, at 2 p.m., in honor of Frances E. Willard. The following resolutions were adopted:
     Whereas, God in his infinite wisdom and love swung back the portals of heaven and called our beloved leader, Frances E. Willard, into that rest that "remaineth to her;"
     Resolved, That while we rejoice that she entered into that rest so triumphantly, yet we realize that not only does the W.C.T.U. of the nation sustain a great loss, but her death is a world wide calamity; and "Though he were dead yet shall he live." The influence of her noble life will live forever.
     Resolved, That we can in no better way show our appreciation and love for her than by being steadfast and faithful to the cause she loved and for which she has given her life. May we be faithful as she was a faithful, and accept our share of the responsibility which she has left to those that love and revere her memory.
     "God lives and reigns," and He who caused the mantle of Elijah to fail on Elijah will raise up someone to take up the work where she has laid down and carry it on to its ultimate success. "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth. Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their honors, and their works do follow them.

     Indian Sam, known as a cultus Indian, is no more. He died last week at his home in Dry canyon, near White Salmon, and is mourned by his people, good and bad. The Indians in the berry patches all quit their work and went to the funeral, and in consequence, a good many patches did not get picked last Friday, and the rain on Saturday spoiled the ripe berries. At Byrkett's place the big skiff that brings the berries to Hood River for shipment was missing Friday evening, but was returned to its moorings Saturday, and it is supposed that some of the noble red family had taken the boat to transport the mourners from this side of the Columbia who wished to pay their last respects to the departed brave.

DIED

     In Hood River, July 10, 1898, Mrs. Elizabeth J. Smith, aged 57 years, 4 months and 22 days.
     Elizabeth Jane Quick was born in Illinois, February 18, 1841. In 1852 she crossed the plains to Oregon with her parents, was married, in 1863, to Chas. H. Haynes, a pioneer and Indian war veteran. About 1874, with her husband, she came to Hood River and resided at Haynes Spur, where her husband died in 1886. May 28, 1897, she was married to Mr. Lyman Smith, long a resident of Hood River and now residing at a Astoria. Two months ago Mrs. Smith was taken ill and came up from Astoria to Hood River, hoping to regain her health among the health-giving hills where she had spent so many days in vigorous womanhood. But fate ruled otherwise. Physicians pronounced her malady cancer of the stomach. She was taken to Portland, where specialists could do nothing for her, and she returned to Hood River to die. Mrs. Smith was a true hearted Christian woman, loved by all who knew her. She did much for charity in her quiet way, and many friends outside of her immediate relatives will mourn the loss of this noble woman. She leaves a sorrowing husband; an adopted son, Wm. Haynes; a grandson, Bruce Morton, 12 years old, and three sisters. Deceased was a profound Christian and a member of the M.E. church. Rev. J. T. Merrill preached the funeral sermon in the M.E. church to a large audience on Tuesday, at 10 o'clock, and a long procession of carriages followed her remains to Idlewilde cemetery.

---------

     Dr. Hines, who has been absent at Tacoma, Washington, for a week, returned on the train Wednesday night. As he was absent at the time of the death and burial of Mrs. Lyman Smith, one of the prominent members of his church, he will, on Sunday morning at 11 o'clock, give "A pastor's tribute to a translated member," at his church in Hood River, as a personal tribute to Mrs. Smith, as a long-time personal friend and a devoted member of the church of Christ.

THREE INDIANS DROWNED

     GRAND DALLES, Wash., July 14, 1898, -- Editor Glacier: Three children belonging to Bill Calwash, a Tum-Water Indian, were drowned in the rapids today, nearly opposite Seufert Bros.' cannery. One was a girl about 18, one a boy of 12, the other a baby about a year old. Five of them had gone in a boat to visit some Indians on a fish scow and were returning across the big eddy when the boat was caught in a swirl and sucked under. Two boys came up about 30 feet from the bluffs and swam in and were rescued, but the other three did come up. Calwash is nearly distracted and has gone down the river, hoping the bodies of his children will come to the surface and he can get them. He wanted me to write to residents along the river to get them if seen, and he will pay for any service. It occurred to me if it were published in the GLACIER it would become generally known in your locality, where bodies of persons drowned here are most often seen floating, and if you will kindly make an item of it and notify me if the bodies are found, it will be a favor.

OBITUARY

     Emiline Allen  Hodge, known to a large circle of neighbors and friends as Grandma Hodge, was born at Litchfield, Conn. Sept. 28, 1807, and died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Dr. Barrett, Hood River, Or., on July 29, 1898. She spent the most of her long and happy life at the place of her birth and at Jefferson, Ohio, coming to Hood River when an elderly lady, yet was given many years here in peace and quietude. For husband died in 1892, they having enjoyed the almost unprecedented period of 64 years of married life, sharing each others joys and sorrows, defeats and successes. Nine children were born to this union, of whom only three remain. Two children met their death by accidental drowning at the same time, in 1840, when the fond mother exhibited a sense of complete resignation. Indeed all her life, from her 18th year when she became a member of the Baptist church, she reposed in calm confidence upon God, being conscious of His love and strength and the varied experiences in life, and never murmuring with his dealings. In the lengthening declining period of her life she was blessed with unusual cheerful and happy surroundings in the home of her daughter, Mrs. Barrett, to which, by her unimpaired faculties of mind and saintly qualities of soul, she contributed much of the good and Divine, so that she will be greatly missed. It seemed to be a special guidance that brought her son, Mr. F.A. Hodge from his home in Pueblo, Col., to visit his aged mother three or four days before her death. Another son lives at Buffalo, N.Y. Funeral services were conducted at the home of Dr. Barrett on last Saturday, after which she was laid to rest in the family cemetery beside her husband.

DROWNED

     Sunday afternoon some of the young men belonging to Mason's railroad camp just below town went swimming in the slough ear the ice house. One young man named Homer Houghton had swam across the slough, but on his return was taken with cramps and drowned before help could reach him. Deceased had been working for contractor Mason for about two weeks. He had told someone that he came from Indiana, but further than this nothing is known of him. It was a plain case of accidental drowning, but the coroner was notified and he ordered Justice Prather to hold an inquest. The jury found the following verdict:
     "We, the undersigned jury summoned by Geo. T. Prather, J.P., and acting coroner of Wasco county, Oregon, to inquire into the cause of death of the body of deceased now before us, find that the name of deceased was Homer Houghton; his age about 21; height about 5 feet 8 inches; weight about 150 pounds; fair complexion, blue eyes, dark hair; that he came to his death by accidental drowning while bathing in the slough opposite Mason's camp, on the O.R. & N., near railroad bridge No. 117, on the afternoon of Sunday, September 18, 1898."

READ OF HIS OWN DEATH

     Mr. Fred Hertz will make final proof on his homestead at The Dalles land office next month. Mr. Hertz about three years ago had an experience that not often happens. He read of his own death and was mourned by his friends as having crossed the dark river. The circumstances of his reported death were as follows: He had met with an accident in a saw mill and received injuries to his head which caused a loss of memory, and he sometimes was unable to recognize acquaintances. Realizing that something was wrong with him, without saying anything to his friends he decided to go to Portland and consult the advice of physicians. None of his acquaintances saw him leave, but the last seen of him he was sitting on a rock on the river bank near Viento. A few days after his disappearance the body of a man was found washed ashore on a point of land some distance below Viento, on the opposite side of the river. Some of his most intimate acquaintances pronounced the find the body of Fred Hertz. Hertz read of his death in the Oregonian. After spending a few days in Portland he went to California and placed himself under the care of the skilled doctors in the asylum at Stockton. The doctors trepanned his skull and he got well. On returning to Hood River he found that his old neighbors had believed the report of his death. His cabin had been broken into and all his personal property, including a kit of millwright tools, and even the top of his cook stove, was carried off. His trip to California cost him $500, but he will never begrudge the money, as he is now a sound man and his memory is as good as ever.

     Major Wilkinson, who was killed in the battle with the Indians in Minnesota last week, was well known in Oregon twenty years ago, when he was a lieutenant and brevet captain in a regular army. In Portland, where he held meetings on the streets, before the advent of the Salvation Army, he was considered a religious crank. With Gen. Howard he organized the Y.M.C.A. in Portland. His army record and his tragic death at the hands of the hostile Indians while cheering his men show him to have been a brave man.

CLARK - MERCER

     The marriage of Mr. Frank S. Clark to Miss Annie Mercer, one of Hood River's most esteemed young ladies, at the M.E. church on last Saturday evening, was a matter of general interest to the community. The church had been beautifully decorated with flowers, vines and autumn leaves, and immediately after the close of the evening service, while a march was played by the organist, the bride and groom entered. The audience room, though ample in, was unequal to the accommodation of the many friends and acquaintances who had gathered to witness the ceremony and bid the young couple bon voyage through life. The bride was dressed in taste appropriate for the occasion, and after the words were spoken by the pastor which made them one, they retired without delay. A number of intimate friends followed to the home of the bride's mother to tender their congratulations. A little later at the depot another crowd awaited the east-bound train. There was pleasantries, there was rice, there was good wishes in abundance, but the train bore away all the interest and the crowds scattered to their homes. Young Mr. and Mrs. Clark are to make their home in Stevenson, where he has business interests. Life opens fair before them. May the future fulfill all that the present promises is the heart-felt wish of their many friends.

     In the death of Mrs. Polly Price, one of the brightest and most intelligent of Oregon's pioneer women passes away. She was a most lovable woman and well known throughout the state. Many of those who knew her in her younger days will drop a tear to her memory when they read of her death.

OBITUARY

     Polly L. Price was born at Alfred, N.Y., Nov. 24, 1825, and departed this life at Salem, Oregon, Oct. 21, 1898. On her father's side she was descended in the fifth generation from the celebrated John Crandall, who was associated with Roger Williams, Samuel Gorton and others and held many offices of trust and responsibility. He was one of a committee to draft the famous letter presented to "his highness and councell of England, asking for protection against the hostile efforts of the other colonies of New England insisting that Rhode Island should prevent the quakers from having their liberty amongst us, as entertayned into our houses or into any of our assemblies." In religious matters he was not less prominent, being an associate with Dr. John Clarke, and was himself a minister. John Crandall married Elizabeth, the daughter of Samuel Gorton, a cultured, independent, somewhat eccentric and influential character who supported from the beginning the other founders of Rhode Island in holding their lands west of Narragansett Bay.
     To John and Elizabeth Crandall were born five sons, Joseph, the third son, was pastor of the Newport church for twenty years. Phineas was one of the younger sons of Joseph Crandall. Silas, the eldest son of Phineas, settled at Waterford and was a sea captain. With two brothers he was owner of the fishing smack Lucy, which was shot to pieces by a British vessel in the war of 1812.
     Paul, a younger son of Silas, was born in Connecticut, in 1802, and enjoyed superior advantages of instruction in Boston, Mass. Paul married Sally Stillman and settled in Allegheny county, N.Y. To them the first born was Polly, the subject of this sketch. Paul Crandall at an early day settled in Rock county, Wis., and as stated by the author of Fathers of Wisconsin, "at once took a prominent position among the people then striving to build up a new country. In 1847, Mr. Crandall was elected as a member of the constitutional convention from the county of Rock." "He was one of the substantial and useful members of the convention, highly esteemed by his associates. After state organization Mr. Crandall was elected to the second state assembly." Paul Crandall, with most of his children, came across the plains to Oregon in 1852, settling in Marion county, where he died in 1889.
     Early in life, Polly Crandall united with the Seventh Day Baptist church of Alfred, N.Y. Here, as a school-mate, she became acquainted with Thomas L. Coon, to whom she was married in Wisconsin Jan. 1, 1845. In 1850 Mr. Coon and a brother, Clarke P. Crandall, went to California and Oregon, and Mr. Coon located a claim at the present site of Silverton, at which place he died, Jan. 10, 1854. On Sept. 27, 1855, Polly Crandall Coon was married to Stephen Price, who departed this life Sept. 25, 1896. Of the two children of the first marriage, Cornelia died April 8, 1868, and Thomas lives at Hood River, Oregon. Of the second marriage an only son, Eugene C. Price, lives in Butte, Montana. All the sisters have been many years deceased. Of the brothers, Clarke P. Crandall died at Atlantic City in 1893. R.W. Crandall of The Dalles died Nov. 19, 1896. The two surviving brothers are D.W. Crandall of Portland, Or., and Luke Crandall of Victor, Colorado.
     As a pioneer woman of Oregon, Mrs. Price was ever active in an all good works. Hundreds of grown up children will remember her earnest work as teacher in Salem, Portland and The Dalles. Hers was a life well spent, given for the good of others.

FATAL ACCIDENT

     Our community was startled the last Saturday by a most distressing run-away accident, which resulted in the death of Mrs. J. J. Gibbons. She was driving to town in a road cart, accompanied by her little son, about 10 years old. When coming down the school house hill, the boy, who was driving, espied a horseshoe in the road. He stopped the horse and jumped out of the cart to pick up the horseshoe, taking the lines with him as he jumped from the cart. Thoughtlessly, he let go of the lines, which fell under the wheels of the cart, and as the horse moved a few steps forward the lines jerked him back and he commenced to rare up and kick and started to run. Mrs. Gibbons was thrown out of the cart and struck violently on the side of her face and head. The injured woman was carried into the residence of Dr. Shaw, who was absent, and Dr. Watt was sent for, who immediately answered the call and found on his arrival that the woman was dead. The doctors said she was killed instantly. Deceased was a most estimable woman and universal sorrow is expressed over the sad occurrence. She leaves a husband and five children, the youngest a daughter six years old. One son is a volunteer soldier in the Second Oregon at Manila. Another son died last than two months ago.

OBITUARY

     Mrs. Sarah Ann McSherry Gibbons was born near Ellicott's Mills, Maryland, in October, 1851, and died at Hood River, Oregon, October 29, 1898, aged 47 years and 29 days. When a child she moved with her parents to Alexandria, Va., where she lived until a young lady, when the family made St. Louis, Mo., their home. Here she was united in marriage to her bereft husband, John J. Gibbons, in 1870. In 1878 they came to the Pacific coast, where they have since lived. Mrs. Gibbons was a devoted wife and mother and a kind neighbor, possessing unselfish and noble qualities of character that greatly endeared her to a large circle of acquaintances. A husband and five children, one of whom is in Manila, will greatly miss the fond place in the home that was so suddenly made vacant. Funeral services were held in the Valley Christian church on Monday, Rev. J. L. Hershner conducting them, after which the body was laid to rest in Idlewilde cemetery.

DEATH OF MRS. A.P. BATEHHAM

     An item reached us just after going to press last week, telling, what few in Hood River were aware of, that Mrs. A.P. Bateham was in a hospital in Cleveland, Ohio, where she underwent a severe surgical operation on the 20th of last month. Her case progressed finely for two weeks, and we where anticipating the pleasure of telling her friends here that her early recovery and return was assured. But we are forced to tell very different news now. Last Saturday she suffered a relapse, and in spite of all that the best physicians in Cleveland could do, she died Sunday night. Relatives from there accompanied the remains to St. Paul, for which place her husband started on Monday. Mrs. Bateham's home had always been in St. Paul until she came to Hood River four years ago. She was a social favorite everywhere, and her many friends will miss her indeed and deeply sympathize with the husband and daughter whom she left.
