Age at death, 78 years, 3 months and 22 days. fr ! .j. Rlxty-two years of plone-r life v.a ended this morning when Enoch Wlmhorly patsed peacefully to final rest ln the great beyond. At 7:0.'. a. m. the spirit took flight from the weary body. Just as the busy world about him was renewing its activities in the beautiful sunlight of a sum mer day. Ills entire family was at his bedside, but so gentle was the final summons that he seemed like sinking into the calmest sleep. Mr. Wlmberly was of southern ancestry, the Wlmberly plantation of ante-bellum davs being still pointed out in eastern Mississippi, where the big brick residence or that period was still standing a few years ago. With that Indomitable spirit of ad venture which filled our early pio neers, he came to the Willamette Valley In 1S4II. with the family of Nicholas Shrum, and although then a mere boy of 16. he drove an ox team nearly the entire distance across the plains, a soul-racking journey of nearly six mouths. Set tling nbout live miles east of Salem. he, two years later, enlisted ti b. volunteer in a campaign against the Cayuse Indians, who were then on the warpath in the Walla Walla valley. Hettiruiug In October, ISIS, he remained near Salem until the spring or 18IU, when, with a party of like adventurous spirits he went, overland, to California, being lured by the gold mining fever that was then raging almost world-wide. Sickening a few months later in the intense summer 'heat ot Caliiornia, he returned home by sea from Sun ITaucisco in the tail of that venr i That return voyage was one of tile many thrilling Instances of those ad venturous days. -Kiubiirkine in an ancient am! unseaworthv brig, thev were tossed hither and thither on the open seas for a period of .".1 days before dually making a landing at tne mourn or the Columbia river. Coming to Douglas county in 1854, Mr. Wlmberly located on a government land claim near Glide. .Early In the year 1856 he again enlisted as a I!, S. volunteer in the wars with the Indians or Southern Oregon, in progress at that time. On September 1857, he married Miss Nancy A. Mnrks, who had come to Oregon, from Illinois, with her mother four years previous, and who now survives him. she being at this time past 70 years or age. Their golden wedding anniversary last September was rendered less enjoy able by Mr. Wimberly's illness, he then having been in failing health for nearly two years. For the past 20 years the family has resided in this city, his son, h. Wimberly, being editor and prop rietor ot the Itoseburg Review. The other surviving members - of his family are: Ira Wimberly, of Drain; Mrs. C. L. Clevenger, or Grants Pass; Elmer E. nnd Miss Eiva Wim berly, or this city. Six grand-children also survive hint. Of the strictest integrity of prin ciple, he ever endeavored to fashion his walk of dally life upon the Im perishable precepts of tite Clohlen Rule. 01' kind and generous dispo sition, nothing gave him greater pleasure than to b.-stow some need ful thing for the aid or romfort or a neighbor or wayfarer along ilfe'r pathway. Ills family and rriends were the continued objecls of his loving care, and his greatest regret 'it the approach ot linal dissolution, his mind retaining a remarkable clearness and aetuity to the end, was parting from his beloved wife, who had been his constant companion for over 5n .years. Life's work well done, he leaves a peaceful and blessed memory. Funeral services will be held at the family hume at 4:00 p. in., on Saturday, under direction of Dr. .1. A. Townsend. Interment follows in the Masonic cemetery. Contests Coal Entries on Land Heavily Timbered FIFTEEN CASES IN ALL .... Smoke . . .
