The necessity for a chemical en

was the lack of intercut taken in
the department by the average
bulne man and property owner.

Mrs. Springer's death was caused
by a stroke of paralysis. She was
born in Prebble county, Ohio, on
August 28, 1824. She was mar
ried to G. W. Springer in February,
1849, and with her husband crossed
the plains with an ox team in 1850.
They lived in Portland a year and
then settled on a donation claim
in Polk county. In 1880 she lost
her husband.
It was in 1887 that Mrs. Spring
er came to make her home in Crook
county. Since that time she has
been identified with the growth of
the county. Her life has been a
long and busy one. She reared
her own monument while she lived
in the hearts of all who knew her.
Her life was completed, if work
well done constitutes completion.
Her Christian life was beautiful
from its beginning nntil it close in
a ripe old age. She joined the
Christian church in her youth and
has always been a devout memler
of that, denomination. Mrs.
Springer was buried in the Grey
Butte cemetery November 28. She

G. Springer of Culver, Mrs. J. C.
Wilson of The Dalles and Mrs. C.
W. Young of Tacoma.
Death of John C Gillenwater
The death of John C. Gillenwater
on November 29 came as a sudden
shock to all who knew the young
man. There was but a brief ill
ness. It seems that the day be
fore he cied he was attacked with
nausea. The case was reported to
one of the doctors with a request
that some medicine be sent to re-
ieve it. The unfortunate man
kept getting worse and the doctor
was sent for but the young man
died before medical attendance
reached him. Just what cauaed
his death nobody seems to know.
He was always regarded as the
very picture of health. He was
buried from the M. E. church in
Prineville on December 3. Rev.
W. P. Jinnett preaching the funeral
sermon, lhe young man leaves
his mother, Mrs. W. P. G lien
