An usually sad death occurred this week when Ray
mond Reeves passed away among strangers at Rosrburg
on Tuesday due to blood poisoning contracted while hunt
ing in Douglas county. The exact particulars concerning
the sad happening has not yet been ascertained other than
while he bruised or injured himself in some way, blood
poisoning set in, and he was taken to a hospital at Rose-
burg where he died a few hours after his arrival there.
The body was brought to Independence on Thursday
m d was taken in charge by the Odd Fellows’ lodge, of
which the deceased was a member. A fter the impressive
ceremonies of that groat Order, interment was made in the
cemetery south of Independence.
Raymond S. Reeves was born Dec. 20, 1889 near Aval-
son, Livingston county, Missouri, and was 29 years, nine
months and three days old at the time o f his death. When
Ray wa's Kvo years old his parents moved to Mountain
Grove, Mo. From there in 1907 the family came to Inde
pendence, Oregon. For the past two years the young man
had been working in the ship yards at Portland. While
on a vacation, the incidents that led to liis death occurred.
Besides his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Reeves, respected
residents of this city, he is survived by six sisters and one
jrotlier as follows: Mrs. Jessie M. Sanders o f Mountain
O^ove, Mo., Mrs. Grace E. Brown of Mountain Grove, Mo.,
Mrs. Dora E. Croft o f Portland, Mrs. May M. Croft of
Portland, Mrs. Nelllie O. Millhouser of Suver, Mrs. Gladys
I. Todd of Independence and G. Earl Reeves o f Inde
pendence.
Ray was a young man who made friends easily and thus
md a large acquaintance among which he was much es
teemed. He was very industrious and at all times gave
satisfactory service to those who employed him. His so-
icitude for the welfare of his parents was a cardinal vir-
ue that made him greatly respected by all who knew him.
Strong, robust, in the best o f health, illness came upon
iim at a time when he was the least prepared to combat
it. Had he not been miles away from medical assistance,
lis excellent physical self would have easily conquered
he affliction. His death, so sudden and untimely, was an
unusually hard blow to his mother and father.
The parents, sisters and brother have the sympathy of
ill in their time o f great sorrow.
I. M. SIMPSON’S SALE WAS A BIG EVENT
(Monmoulh Herald.)
The auction sale on the I. M. Simpson farm last Satur-
ay was more than an incident in the agricultural life of
he south half of Polk county; it was an event. Something
ike 150 automobiles were parked in the yard and along
he roadway andat least five hundred people attended the
lie. The free lunch at noon was a big affair, the quests
jeing served cafeteria style. Many women and children
were present, and warmed in the clear sunlight o f an ideal
autumn day, the gathering was like a sectional reunion or
neighborhood picnic. Groups o f men and women discuss
ed crops and neighborhood gossip and the young people
investigated the pressure water system or took turns at
riding in the litter carrier or engaged in pitched battle
with hales o f hay as the breast works and green apples as
ammunition. The circle around the auctioneer was con
stantly from five to ten deep and bidding was spirit
ed. The sales total in the neighborhood o f $5,200. One
horse sold for $200 and another for $150. A single Lincoln
buck brought $32, and a pen o f 1H yearlings sold for $30
each. The goats sold for $3.50 each and a Hock o f turkeys
sold for $3.50 each.
