TWO PIONEERS
PASS AWAY
Mrs. Linn of Jacksonville and
Mrs. Colver of Phoenix Die
This Week.
D ied At the family residence in Jack
sonville, Ore., Aug. 20th, 1907, Ann
Sophia Linn, aged 65 yeats, 4 months
and 25 days.
Mrs. Ann Sophia Linn, the gentle,
the tender, the true wife ai.d mother is
dead.
Tuesday night the black camel of
death knelt at her gate a harbinger of
that unwelcome visitation which chas-
teneth the rich and the poor, the great
and the lowly, alike. That death which
rides on every breeze and lurks in every
flower has again exemplifier! the immu
tability of Fate, the omnipotence of a
power which recognizes neither seasons
nor harvests, genius nor mediocrity,
j outh nor old age.
The deceased was a pioneer, she cros
sing the plains from Indiana, the place
of her birth, with her parents in 1850.
Her parents, the late William Hoffman
and wife, located at Jacksonville and
the deceased has resided here ever
since, (in the 31st day of August, 1860,
she was united in marriage to David
Linn. From this union seven children
were born, two of which have passed
away. Those now living are Corinne
Linn of Jacksonville, Margaret Linn
and Fletcher Linn of Portland, Mrs. L.
I. Gay of Seattle and George D. Linn
of Eugene. Besides her children and
husband, David Linn, she leaves five
sisters to mourn her loss. They are
Mrs. C. C. Beekman of Jacksonville,
Mrs. M. H. Vining of Ashland, Mrs.
Kate Hoffman of Jacksonville, Mrs. J.
C. Whipp of Fallon, Nevada, and Mrs.
George B. Dorris of Eugene.
Death has so many doors to let out
life, and yet in this instance many are
they who fain jealousy would have
guarded all the exits, for to lose on - so
noble, so pure and so good with the
pure sweet song of beautiful living up
on her lips is to feel the hush of sorrow
and see the gray clouds of despair. Of
her beautiful life it is said that when
she lay on her bier with sealed lips,
closed eyes and folded hands many who
had been less favored in worldly store,
those who have found the tide of life's
battle flowed against them; who have
found their paths full of thorns for
their naked feet, came with loving
hearts and weeping eyes, and with
trembling lips told between sobs of the
favors she had done them, and asked
God's blessing on her name and her
memory, and do you doubt that the
great Father noted those falling tears,
and heard those broken sentences, from
the lips of His lowly children?
Funeral services were held at the
family residende Friday at 2 o'clock p.
m and interment made in the beautiful
Jacksonville cemetery. Rev. Robt. En
nis officiât'ng.
The battle of life for Mrs. Linn is
o'er. But she did not have to die to
«how the sterling worth of her charac
ter. She so lived that friends knew,
appreciated and loved her. And now
the memory of her is an exquisite bene
diction; something to be treasured as
the hallowed remembrance of a grief
that draws us nearer home!
Mrs. Huldah Colver.
Mrs. Huldah Colver, one of the pio
neers of Jackson county. died at Phoe
nix Monday morning at the age of 84
years, 7 months and 18 days. De
ceased was a native of Ohio. Early in
1850, she and her husband. Samuel Col-
ver, and two children. Louie and Isa
belle, started across the plains with ox
teams, arriving at The Dalles during
the following summer. In the spring
of 1851 they came to Jackson county,
locating on the old donation claim upon
which the townsite of "Gasburg” or
Phoenix, as it is now called, was laid
out, and this place was ever afterward
their home. Mrs. Colver was a woman
of great energy and most notable
worth and many, many of the early
pioneers shared the hospitality for
which her home was well known, and
appreciated the welcome which was al
ways received at her table. Although
she passed through more than the usu
al measure of trials and hardships in
cident to pioneer life, she was always
cheerful and uncomplaining. Her end
was as peaceful as her life was noble.
She is survived by two sisters. Alice
Callender Johnson, living in Clinton,
Ilk, aged 91 years, and Katherine Cal
lender, of Ohio, aged 82 years, besides
seven grandchildren, as follows: Artie
Caraleta Colver Furrey, of Phoenix;
Frank Lloyd Colver of Phoenix: Louie
Othello Colver of Phoenix; Effie Luella
Rose Taylor of Medford; Ella Maybell
Rose Newbury of this city; Lewis Ar
thur Rose and Bertha May Rose of
Phoenix.
The deceased pioneer was laid to rest
beside her late husband, in the Phoenix
cemetery, Tuesday, August 20th. Ser
vices were held at her late home at 2
o'clock p. m.. by Rev. Robt. Ennis of
this city.
