DROPS DEAD
ON STREET
K. H. Gabbert, Well Known
Newspaper Man, Dies Sud
denly In Portland
DUE TO HEARTTROIIBLE
Hustling Newt Gatherer and Brllfiant
Writer Who Worked Many
Years on Oregon City
Paper.
Keeler H. Gabbert, a newspaper
man well known In Oregon City and
over the state, was stricken with
heart disease while standing at the
corner of First and Washington
streets, Portland, Wednesday forenoon
a Unit 11 o'clock. He dropped un
conscious to the pavement, and died
before an ambulance could arrive. The
body was taken to an undertaking es
tablishment. The deceased left Oregon City a
few days ago to go to Portland and
seek employment. He was about 50
years of age nd Is survived by his
wife, two sisters and a brother. The
remains will probably be taken to
Eugene, where his wife resides, and
be buried by the side of their, little .
girl who was burned to death 'in St.
Helens a few years ago.
Mr. Gabbert first came to Oregon
City about fifteen years ago and work
ed on the Enterprise for Mr. Meserve.
Afterward he worked for the Courier
while it was owned by A. W. Cheney,
and for a while on the Herald. Pie
was the most talented local writer
probably 'ever in this city and ha,d an
easy yet forcible style that gave
strength and clarity to his more seri
ous writing. He would have been a
power In the newspaper ranks in Ore
gon had he "stuck to his knitting."
' He left here to buy the St. Helens
Mist, which paper he conducted in a
lively manner. Of late years he had
been working on Puget Sound papers,
at Seattle and Bellingham. He re
turned to Oregon City last February
and was employed as local man on
the Dally Star and Enterprise for sev
eral weeks.
While connected with the Courier
about 10 years ago he was married to
an estimable lady in Eugene and they"
resided on the hill here until the re
moval to St. Helens. She has al
ways loved him in spite of their en
forced separation and her heart will
truly mourn for him. Mrs. Gabbert
visited in Oregon City last summer.
Mr. Gabbert leaves also one married
and one single sister both residing in
Portland, and a brother in Salem. The
only estate Is $2000 life insurance thnt
will be received by the widow, Mra.
Stella Gabbert.
The deceased probably knew person
ally or by 'sight more Clackamas
county people than any other man, and
numbered among them are rany1
friends who are truly sorry to hear
jof bis death, and will remember his
.good qualities and forget his weak-
I nesses.
