Thomas C. Pembroke, a prominent
citizen of Clackamas county, living six
miles southeast of Canbv. was accidently
killed while felling trees for wood late I
list Friday evening. The decea-el
and his Bon, Charles T. Pembroke had
just finished sawing down.alarae fir
tree when it fell striking another tree
causing a large limb to break off about
14 feet long and 14 inches in diameter.
The son saw the limb falling and shouted
to his father to look out for the danger,
but the latter was struck on the head,
probably causing death instantly. The
marks on Mr. Pembroke's hands and
arms showed that he had thrown up his
hands to ward off the blow from the
limb as it oamo down after being ap
prised of the danger. Charles Pembroke
astened away to summon help alter
lifting him into a bet er p s tion, and
quickly returning found him dead. The
deceased was GO years old on the 18th
day of April and was born in Jersey
county, III., in 1811. He was married
to Julia A. Adams on January 4th, 1864,
and moved to Texas in 1869, traveling
by a wagon. In 1883 the family moved
to Oregon, settling near Oanby, where
they have since resided. Mrs. Pem
broke died several years ago, but the de
ceased left two sons and a daughter
Charles T., of Oanby; Fred V., of Wak-
kiakum county. Wash., ana Mrs. i
De8cbner, of Portland The funeral was
held at Zion cemetery at 2 o'clock Sun
day afternoon, the burial service being
conducted by William Knight.of Canby.
The funeral was largely attended by
friends of the deceased, several mem
