OBITUARY
Perry G. Barrett, M.D., to died at his home in Hood River
valley, on Sunday evening, January 7, 1900, was born at Kingsville, Ohio,
July 27, 1830. Age at time of death was 69 years, 5 months, and 10 days.
He was the second son of a family of 8 children, six sons and two daughters.
His eldest brother survives him at Buffalo, New York.
At the early age of 16, Dr. Barrett taught in the village
school of his native town and continued his profession of teaching several
years, when he entered a medical institution at Buffalo, N.Y., where he received
the degree of M.D. He then went to Kansas where he practiced his profession
until the war broke out, when he returned to Ohio. There being a demand for
a larger medical staff in the army, Gov. Todd gave him the appointment of
assistant surgeon; his ability and faithfulness soon earned for him a promotion
to the position of a commissioned army surgeon, in which capacity he loyally
served his country until the close of the war.
In 1866 Dr. Barrett was united in marriage to Miss Alameda
H. Hodge, his bereft companion, at Jefferson, Ohio. After their marriage
they located at Erie, Pa., where they embarked in business. Losing all their
property by fire in 1870, they came to Oregon in 1971, settling on the farm
which has since been their home.
Dr. Barrett followed the practice of his profession until
about six years ago, since which time he lived a quiet and retired life at
his country home. His kindly disposition, lofty sense of honor and integrity,
noble devotion to high principles of life, secured for him a warm place in
the sections of a large circle of neighbors and friends, to whom he bequeaths
a name untarnished, and an influence that will always abide.
Dr. Barrett was largely instrumental in bringing about
the organization of the first Congregational church of Hood River valley,
and he remained true to his religious convictions until the last. He was
a man who was well read, well informed on general topics, and had one of
the best, if not the best, private libraries into the valley. A most devoted
husband, and loving father, he will be greatly missed in his home of such
comfortable appointments. His estimable wife, who so heroically bears the
loss of a loving, life long companion, receives the warm sympathy of a large
circle of friends.
Funeral services will be conducted at the family residence,
on Friday morning at 10:30 o'clock. Rev. J. L. Hershner will make the address.
The Masonic fraternity, of which Dr. Barrett was a member, will conduct their
ritual service at the grave in Idlewilde cemetery.

THE SUDDEN DEATH OF DR. BARRETT
The sudden death of Dr. Barrett, Sunday, Jan. 7, 1900, which shocked the entire community, was the cause of heart rendering scenes when the great loss was made known to the bereaved wife and grandchildren. He had gone to the barn to do the evening chores, and not returning as soon as usual, Mrs. Barrett requested Miss Clara Hinrichs to see what detained him. She found him in a sitting position by the barn, and knowing Mrs. Barrett's weakness, immediately ran to B.F. Shoemaker's. Mrs. Shoemaker sent for her husband and J.H. Shoemaker and started with Miss Hinrichs for Dr. Barretts. Mrs. Shoemaker tried, by changing the position of the doctor, to see if there was any hope of resuscitation. B.F. and J.H. Shoemaker were soon assisting, and being satisfied that life was extinct, tried to persuade Mrs. Shoemaker to go to the house and inform Mrs. Barrett, a task from which she shrank, realizing how completely Mrs. Barrett relied on the doctor and her devotion to him. The two little grandchildren, twin boys, who had come to the scene, precipitated matters by going to the house but Mr. Shoemaker went with them and then returned to the body with Mrs. Barrett. Her distress and that of the children was pitiable. Dr. Brosius, who was sent for in haste, gave the stricken wife the comforting assurance that death had been painless, and that he had not been dead many minutes before he was found. The doctor's business affairs had been arranged in anticipation of such a sudden end, but the people of the valley were entirely unprepared for their irreparable loss.

Amanda C. Blount passed into the spirit world from Mount
Moriah, Mo., on the 7th of March, 1900, at the home of her youngest daughter,
Amelia B. Green, retaining her mental faculties to the last.
Amanda Colwell Lathrop was born in Oneida county, New
York, June 26, 1812; was united in marriage to Platt Blount, Oct. 11, 1834,
and moved to Wisconsin in the year 1840, settling at Milwaukee, and after
the state was admitted to the union, moved near Madison, the capital, thus
being one of the pioneers of this growing commonwealth. In 1869 the family
removed to Mount Moriah, Mo., where her husband died April 16, 1886. She
lived a few years in Hood River, Oregon, where she added to her long list
of friends who were ever held by her in pleasant remembrance. But though
she so admired the beauty of scenery and enjoyed the mildness of climate,
yet her affection seemed ever to hover around the spot where her loved one
sleeps and where her life work seemed to culminate. How many years of her
life were spent in ministering to the suffering of others, only her own family
know, though there are many living witnesses who hold her in loving and grateful
remembrance, believing that they owe their lives to her care and nursing.
She gave herself up to serve the suffering with an unselfishness that belied
her statement that selfishness was the main spring of human action.
The survivors of her family are Jerold L. and Luke D.
Blount, Agnes M. Cunning and Amelia B. Green.
Her mental faculties were peculiarly gifted, and as a
conversationalist she excelled when in the company of congenials. Life was
ever real to her, and while she seemed at times sprightly and brilliant,
the trend of her thoughts was to seek the unknown, always, however, using
the light of reason as the principle guide, though she would seek light from
many promising source. She talked freely of the future life, and though at
times appeared to grope in uncertainty, yet generally her faith was radiant
with hope. She did not dread death but shrank from the suffering attendant,
and often wished she could sleep and awaken to life immortal. She loved the
beautiful of the earth -- the flowers, the trees, the light of day and the
thousands of suns of night, but more of all she loved the many bright spots
from the printed pages of earth's wise and good. These she thought she would
never be separated from, and though burdened as she had been during the last
few years of her life by infirmities of age, she would repeat in thought
and spirit these words of the poet:
"Shall I lay down to sleep, and see no more
The splendid pageantry of earth and sky --
The procession of the stars sweep by;
The white moon sway the sea, and wash the shore;
The morning lark to the far heaven soar;
The nightingale with the soft dusk draw nigh;
The summer roses bud, and bloom, and die --
Will life and life's delight for me be o're?
"Nay, I shall be in my low silent home,
Of all earth's gracious ministries aware --
Glad with the gladness of the risen day
Yet done with striving, and foreclosed of care;
At rest -- at rest. What better thing to say?"

"Brief Local Matters"
The newly-married couples on Lyman Smith avenue were liberally serenaded. Rolly Phelps got off easy by setting up the cigars for the boys. But Jim Kaiser was not so fortunate. The serenaders took his place by storm Sunday night. By promising to get some whiskey by next evening he got them to let up on the "music" they made with the horse fiddle and tin pans. Before the next evening he repented of his rash promises to get the whiskey. Not been a drinking man himself he thought it would be right to buy whiskey for others. The boys came back Monday night, and when they found he had failed to procure the whiskey they bombarded his house with everything that would make a racket, beat the sides of it with scanting and yelled in a manner that would make a Comanche Indian take a back seat. Jim finally promised to raise $1.50 next day and leave it at one of the stores in town to treat the crowd, and the boys left. Jim says the next time he gets married he will go to some country -- Arkansas, for instance - where the usages of the dark ages, like the charivari, are out of date.

Amidst his shining band,
And so he bent with loving smile
And clasped your darling's hand.
Christ said, "Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted." Now, mother, dry your tears. Weep not for the silent dead; he has from all trouble fled.
Peace.

TRAGEDY AT TROUT LAKE
The startling intelligence reached Hood River Monday
of the death of Miss Ida Foss at Trout Lake at that hands of Ben Wagnitz.
Miss Foss was teaching school at Trout Lake and boarded at the home of Mrs.
Wagnitz. Sunday evening, May 20th, Miss Foss and Ben Wagnitz were left alone
in the house, while the young man's mother and brother were at the corral
milking. Upon their return to the house they found young Wagnitz lying dead
in the yard and Ms. Foss dead in the house. Investigation showed that the
young woman had been shot through the heart and that Wagnitz picked her up,
laid her on a bed, examined her wound, covered it with cloths and the body
with a blanket, and then went outside the house and shot himself. It is supposed
the young couple had had a lover's quarrel, but no one was present, and no
one knows the real cause of the tragedy nor how with happened.
Miss Foss was born and raised in Hood River, where her
parents reside. She was an educated and accomplished young woman, and the
news of her awful death cast a gloom over the whole community.
Ben Wagnitz was a young man, 26 years old, generally
respected in the community at Trout Lake, where he had lived for years. He
was a mountain guide at Mt. Adams, and when at home made himself useful by
helping his mother on the ranch.
The funeral of Ms. Foss was held from the residence of
S.E. Bartmess, Wednesday, and was attended by a large concourse of the friends
of other young woman and the family.

LAST TRIBUTE TO MISS FOSS
A genuine gloom was cast over this entire community when
it learned of the awful tragedy which deprived us of one of our most
highly-cherished daughters. A large concourse of friends and relatives gathered
to do honor to her whom they loved in life and mourned in death. Costly and
beautiful offerings of flowers betokened the high esteem she ever held. The
services were simple and impressive. A quartette sang touchingly the last
ham the deceased had sung in public, "Saved by Grace," and her pastor spoke
the eulogy of her noble life, on the text: "My days are swifter than the
past; they flee away; they are passed away as the swift ships. Behold, my
witness is in heaven and my record on high."
Ms. Foss was born in Portland, September 19, 1875. At
the age of 10 she made a public profession of love to her Saviour, and became
a member of the Methodist church. Six years ago she united with the United
Brethren. She led a noble and consistent life ever bearing the name of Christ,
with reverence and without reproach. The witness and the record of her life
recorded in heaven is not forgotten by those who knew her and loved her.
Hers was an affable nature. Warm-hearted and generous,
she made friends of all who met her. To be in her presence was to be inspired
with the brightness and nobility of a sunny life. When others felt discouraged
she banished it with a geniality as genuine and effective as the sunlight
of the springtime. Hers was a busy, industrial career. She saw that life
should be more than mere existence. Her future she determined should count
on eternity. She found a place in the classroom where immortal spirits might
be molded and human character determined. And long after this will it be
said: "Ida Foss taught me the nobility of character and the worth of life."
In the church hers was not a passive Christianity. She need but be commanded
and she obeyed. No one needed to coax her to do what she considered right,
and no one could persuade her to do what she considered wrong. The home,
the school, the church will miss Ida.
We sorrow because a loved one is gone. We recall the
apparent needless sacrifice. We decked her grave with beautiful, sweet-scented
flowers. Her memory ever lives with us. We cherish her name and love her
life. Sunny in disposition, charitable in opinion, noble in purpose, cultured
in intellect, gifted and talented, and with the bond of love binding all
the qualities of her nature, Ida Foss shall live forever in the memories
of the undying minds.
"Though oft depressed and lonely,
All my fears are laid aside,
If I but remember, only,
Such as these have lived and died."

"Died"
Mrs. Martha Miller Pope died of consumption at the family
residence on the State road, on Sunday, May 27, 1900, aged 32 years, 7 months
and 16 days.
She was united in marriage with Mr. J. M. Pope on Dec.
18, 1887, and to this happy union five children were born, four of whom,
little girls, survive their mother. The only boy died when but two months
old.
Stricken with a lingering and stealthy disease, her husband
exhausted every resource at his command to find surroundings and conditions
promising to his wife's restoration to health, but all in vain. During her
long and painful illness she bore her suffering with a commendable fortitude,
and when death came departed in the triumph of the Christian faith.
Funeral services were held at the family residence on
Monday, with burial at Idlewilde.
Mrs. Pope was a member of the Congregational church.

IN MEMORIAM
Written in memory of James, son of James Gorton, of Wyeth, Or., who died at Good Samaritan hospital, on May 28, 1900, aged 18 years, 11 months.
One by one earth's ties are broken,
As we see our hope decay;
And the love so fondly cherished
Brightens, but to pass away.
'Tis hard to break the tender cords
When love has bound the heart;
'Tis hard, so hard, to speak the words --
That we must from him part.
A mother's hope, a father's joy,
In death's cold arms doth lie.
We saw our brother pass away,
As the hand of death cooled his brow,
And in our aching hearts we know,
We have no Jimmie now;
God needed one more angel boy,
Amid his shining band;
And so he bent with loving smile
And clasped our brother's hand.
We miss you from our home dear brother,
But soon will come
Where thou hast gone before.

SUPPOSED DROWNING
A sailboat containing John Dye and, it is supposed, Bob
Hogan, was swamped in the Columbia river opposite Underwood's landing, Monday
night. Dye was rescued, but it is almost certain that his partner, Logan,
was drowned. It was just at dusk and Amos Underwood was aroused from his
house by continued cries of distress. He had crossed the river himself shortly
before and had seen Dye and Hogan making ready for sail from the Hood River
side. Rushing out to a point of vantage, he could soon distinguish a capsized
sailboat appearing on the crests of the waves as it floated with the strong
current. Underwood hurried to his sailboat and put out to the rescue by himself,
against a strong up-wind. About the same time, the men at McIntire's logging
camp on the Knapp place on the Washington side of the river, discovered the
distressed boatman. Frank Reeves ran a mile down the beach to his skiff and
put out for the swamped boat. He soon met with the boat and took on board
John Dye, who was clinging to the bottom of the capsized craft. Dye was more
dead than alive at this time, and Reeves, to whom he was a stranger, could
get no information from him. He was taken to Thornton's house on the Knapp
place where he stayed all night and the next morning set out for his home
at the mouth of the Little White Salmon. Amos Underwood reached the scene
a few minutes after Dye was rescued, and was told by Reeves and Thornton
that they had taken off a man from the capsized sailboat he was pursuing.
As it was about 11 o'clock, Underwood returned to his house, and learned
the next morning from the men at the logging camp who the rescued man was.
Although Dye told nothing of the accident, it seems almost
certain that he was accompanied by Bob Hogan at the time, and as he (Hogan)
has not been seen or heard of since, he must have met his death in the waters
of the Columbia. Amos Underwood saw the two men putting out for sail as he
was crossing the river that evening. Both men had been drinking heavily that
afternoon, and how the affair really happened no one knows.
Bob Hogan was a man without a family, who has been living
along the Columbia river for the past thirty years, at times working on scows
and at wood camps. He worked for the Underwood Bros. when they operated wood
scows to The Dalles.

TOOK HIS OWN LIFE
Walter Green, who had been in town two weeks, committed
suicide, Sunday noon, by shooting himself in the heart. He left a crowd at
C. L. Rogers' cigar stand, corner Second and Oak streets, stepped out into
the street some ten paces, opening his vest as he went, whipped out a revolver
from his hip pocket, and placing the weapon to his left side fired the fatal
shot.
Green had arrived here two weeks ago Sunday from Bridal
Veil, where he had worked for two Sweed fishermen. One, G.E. Carlson, claimed
Green extracted $240 from his person while asleep on a scow. Carlson and
partner found Green's whereabouts and followed him to Hood River last Sunday
morning. The men met Green and demanded that he pay the $240 or go to jail.
Green had spent his money lavishly in a protracted spree and had but $1.20
left at the time. The men followed Green around town all morning trying to
get back the money. Carlson accosted Marshal Olinger and started up the street
to Olinger's office, with Green and the other man following. On reaching
Rogers' corner, Green saw Carlson enter the marshal's office, and he immediately
stepped to the middle of the street and shot himself.
Green was well connected in the East, coming from a wealthy
family at Buffalo, N.Y., and had recently returned from a trip to Japan,
where he had gone as a deck hand aboard the merchantman St. Paul. He had
been denied admittance to his father's house, and when notified of his death,
his father refused to have anything to do with the corpse. The body was sent
to Portland, Monday, for burial by an uncle of the deceased.
The young man was about 26 years of age. He procured
his revolver the next day after arriving in town. He was noticed to have
a troubled look, and remarked once that he was apt to leave someday via the
Smith & Wesson route.

To men came to town last week for a coffin for a woman who died about eight miles from town on the East side. They refused to give their names to S.E. Bartmess, undertaker, and refused to talk with the editor of the Glacier, who asked the dead woman's name. Roumaine, of the Mt. Hood Stage Company, hauled the coffin out. A young man who went with him said he was a son of the deceased and that he worked for the Portland Cracker Co. The family are Swedes but further than this the neighbors know nothing about them.

A PECULIAR CASE
The woman who died two weeks ago, on the East Side, whose name was refused by the family for publication, was Mrs. Marie Sauer. The family lived for awhile on land purchased of J.C. Boggs, and recently moved to a place about eight miles up the valley. A son of the dead woman and her brother, Frederick Neyer, came to town for a coffin. They refused to tell the undertaker who the coffin was for, stating they had enemies who caused the a great deal of trouble, and they didn't want them to know of the death. Last Sunday, a week after the coffin was taken out, the neighbors reported that the corpse was still unburied. Deputy Sheriff Olinger went out to the place and brought the remains in the coffin to town. He arrested Neyer and young Sauer and brought them along. The county coroner was notified and came from The Dalles and held an inquest. Dr. Brosius examined the remains and testified that the woman died of cancer in the breast. Neyer could speak no English, and J.R. Nickelsen acted as interpreter. Neyer said that he had been expecting money every day, and when it came it was his intention to take the remains to Portland for burial; that he had made a tim box for the corpse and soldered the box air tight before placing it in the coffin. Upon being questioned as to his object in keeping the dead woman's name from the public, he said, after some hesitation, that witches in Hood River had caused the family a good deal of trouble, and they had hoped to get away from here before the death became known, and before the witches could get in any more of their bad work. After the coroner's jury found there had been no foul play, the men were discharged. The corpse was left in the coffin in the dead room of S.E. Bartmess' undertaking establishment Sunday night, and Monday morning, just before daylight, Neyer procured a livery team and, without notifying Bartmess, entered the dead room and took the coffin and its contents back to his home in the country. At 7 o'clock Bartmess discovered that the corpse was missing and he made search for Neyer and young Sauer. Neyer could not be found, and Sauer knew nothing about the corpse being taken. Later it was learned that Neyer got a team of the Mt. Hood Stage Co. The man is a believer in witchcraft; otherwise he actions, as it proved, were all right. The family came from Germany four years ago. The deceased woman was afflicted with cancer before she came to this country.

Forest Grove, where in February last she was taken with a severe attack of
la grippe, which settled on her lungs, and medical aid seeming to fail, a
physician advised a change of climate. Oct. 17th the family moved to Belmont,
in Hood River valley, hoping the change would do her good, but disease had
gotten to firm of hold upon her, and on Sunday morning, Nov. 4, 1900, at
2:30 o'clock, her spirit took its flight to the God who gave it.
When about 10 years of age she became a member of the
Methodist church South, lived a consistent Christian life, and bore testimony
to her faith in God. The night of her death, when asked if the Lord had accepted
her, she answered unhesitatingly that he had.
The funeral service was held from the Belmont M.E. church,
Monday, at 2 p.m., conducted by the writer preaching from Job 16:22, after
which the remains were laid away in the K. of P. cemetery, the grave being
beautifully decorated with flowers brought by many kind friends. She leaves
a father, mother, three sisters and three brothers to mourn her loss, which
is great, as she was the pet of the family and loved by all who knew her.
The family have the sympathy of the entire community in this their said
bereavement.

OBITUARY
William K. Cole died at the residence of his son, W.
B. Cole Hood River, on Saturday, Nov. 17, 1900, aged 77 years, 3 months and
2 days. The birthplace, in 1823, of deceased was in Washington county, Virginia.
When 4 years of age he came with his parents from Virginia to Indiana, where
he lived until 21 years of age. He then moved to Missouri. When gold was
discovered in California, in 1849, he went to that Eldorado, but soon returned
to his home in Missouri. About 30 years ago Mr. Cole came with his family
to the Pacific Coast, residing at several places in western Oregon. Twenty
years ago he settled on his farm in Camas Prairie, which has since been his
home, although temporarily residing for a few years at Bingen, Wash., and
Hood River. In the state of Illinois, many years ago, he was united in marriage
to Sarah Richards, his now bereft companion. To this union there were born
six children, five of whom are living. They are W. B. Cole of Hood River,
B.B. Cole of Alaska, J. M. Cole, Mrs. Herman Vertschi and Mrs. Albert Vertschi
of Camas Prairie. In 1854 Mr. Cole was made a Mason of Oquawka lodge, No.
123, Oquawka, Ill. During the civil war deceased faithfully served his country
for four years, enduring with a heroic spirit the privation and suffering
incident to those dark days. He was a member of the 13th Missouri regiment
and was captured with his regiment at the Battle of Lexington, Missouri,
in 1861. Afterwards he served in the second battalion of the Veteran Reserve
Corps. When 21 years of age he professed faith in Christ, and from that day
until the day of his death his family and neighbors bore him the happy testimony
of a consistent and practical Christian life. He was a life-long member of
the Baptist denomination, the church of his choice.
Services were conducted at the White Salmon church by
Rev. J. L. Hershner, on Monday, and the burial was in the cemetery adjoining
the church. Of the departed it may be said, in the language of one of old,
"Thou hast come to the thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh
in in his season."

DEATH OF MRS. MARY JOSLYN
Mrs. Mary Joslyn, wife of Hon. E.S. Joslyn, died at her home in Colorado Springs, Colorado, Nov. 1st, aged about 76 years. Mrs. Joslyn was well known to all old settlers of this section. Mr. and Mrs. Joslyn settled at White Salmon in 1852, where they lived until 1876, when they moved to Colorado. Their home at White Salmon was known to all as being ever open to their friends, and the most hospitable of places. In early days it was a custom for young people to make up parties and visit Mr. and Mrs. Joslyn, who was the most accomplished entertainers, and many of the pleasantest recollections of those who have grown to womanhood and manhood in The Dalles are associated with these visits to the Joslyn homestead. A Colorado paper giving an account of Mrs. Joslyn's death states that a niece, Miss Tuck, was spending the evening with her while Mr. Joslyn was attending a prayer meeting. Mrs. Joslyn arose from her chair, apparently in good health, but fell to the floor and died instantly. - Mountaineer.
