GRANDPA1 PALMER PASS ES TO BEYOND Died, at his home in Vale, Jan. 9, 1915, of pneumonia, John Talmer, aged 88 years and two days. "Grandpa" Palmer, as he was af fectionately called by everyone, was an old gentleman of a sunny dispo sition, kind and good to everyone, and a prime favorite with all the children in the city. He had grown into the hearts of young and old, and while death at his age could but be expected at any time, his sudden call ing away was a shock and a sincere bereavement to everyone in the city, and all business houses in the city were closed during the funeral cere monies, nearly everyone attending to ! do honor to the little old man, wr.om everybody loved. The funeral services were conduct ed by Rev. F. L. Cook of the Chris- j tian church, and who gave the follow ing brief biographical sketch of the life of the deceased: John Palmer was born near Jolliet, 111., Jan.7,1827. He grew to manhood and married Sophia Henry in his native state. Their wedding tour consisted of their trip across the plains to Eldorado county, Calif. Mining was his work for years. In July, 1878, he moved with his family to Pendleton, Oregon. He and his wife joined the Christian church at Condon, Oregon, four and one-half years ago. Mrs. Palmer pre ceded him to the Great Beyond and was buried in Vale. Mr. and Mrs. Palmer were the par ents of five children, Mrs. J. N. Top ping, of Victoria, B. C, Mrs. Sarah Hanna, of Vale, and Frank, Lawrence and Edwin Palmer, of Watson, all of whom survive.

The honor nunils for the first th months of school in District No. 52, Mooreville, are as follows: Kthel Enbody and Elmer Ask. The pupils in this school are spending con siderable time with their drawing und water color work. At Christmas time they celebrated by giving a Christmas program. The officers of the Warren Parent Teachers Circle are: President, Mrs. John Forbes; vice-president, Mrs. H. Piatt; and secretary, Mis Ethel wyn Boydell, who is also the teacher.
