L E WOMAN WHO DIED AT 82 SAW , WHITMAN MASSACRE. Mrs. E. S. Warren Believed to Hava Been Oldest Living White Woman Born West of the Rockies. . (Hy Associated Press to The'Obsorver) COEUR DALENE, Idaho, July 7.--With the death. here recently of Mrs.' Eliza. Spalding Warren at the ae of 82 years, there passed one of the few remaining participants in early his tory of the northwestern country. Mrs. Warren was believed to have been the oldest living white woman born west iof the Rocky mountains and was a wit ness of the massacre by Indians of Dr. Marcus Whitman 'and members of his household, November 29, 1847. Mrs. Warren was born at Lapwai, Idaho, in- November, 1837, a year after her father and mother, Rev. Henry Harmon Spalding and his wife, had crossed the muntains with Dr. and Mrs. Whitman to become missionar-' ies to the Indians of the northwest. She was said to have been the second white child born in the region sur rounding tbe Nez Perce Indian mis sion founded there by her father anil mother. At the age of nine years, Mrs. War ren was tiken by her father to .the Whitman mission in the Walla Walla valley to receive her early education and it was there, when she wjis a child of 10 years that she saw Dr. Whitman struck down by a tomahawk in the hands of an Indian, who had come to him ostensibly for medical attention, and Mrs. Whitman shot down inside, her home; With other surviving members of the party, she was rescued later from the savages. The summer after her arrival at the Whitman mission, Mrs. Warren, in company with her-brother Henry and her father, made a horseback trip to The Dalles, Oregon, and .thence by rowboat down the Columbia eivcr to the present site of Portland. Port land then consisted of one log build- ling, she states. in her memoirs. There wera two families at The Dalles, and Astoria comprised "one little shack of a house perched on a hillside." Mr.' Warren was married in lHf4 and lived for a time near 'Brownsville, Oregon, where her body, was buried. She traveled by oxteam to the Walla Walla country in 1859. and 'in 1873 located in Eastern Oregon, .vheie her- children were born ' and reared. Her husband died in 1886.
