ness at Wedderburn, and recent-
ly moved to new, modern build-
ing at Gold Beach. At the time
of his death he spent much time
in the shop, The evening before
he died he was at work. The
next morning, after he had fin
ished his breakfast, he went to
another room to put on his
shoes, when death came, sud

history of this county, going 73

mostly wilderness with no roads,
and only ship transportation to
San Francisco. All banking at
that time was done at San bran-
cisco.
He is sur\ ived by his daugh-
ters, Mrs. Otis Bowman, Mrs.
Edith Jones, Mrs. Orin Hess, and
