OBITUARY
Mrs. Edgar W. Winans
Mrs. Elizabeth Kinney Winans, wife
of Edgar W. Winans and one of the
oldest residents of the valley, passed
away at an early hour Sunday morn
ing from complications due to old age,
she having reached her 90th year.
The funeral was held yesterday after
noon from the residence, Rev. J. T.
Merrill of Portland, an old family
friend officiating.
Elizabeth Kinney was born at Pet
ersburg, Illinois. April 22, 1823, and
died February 22, 1913, aged 89 years
and 10 months. In her early woman
hood she was convertd to the Meth
odist faith, on which she relied dur
ing her long and eventful life. She
knew Abraham Lincoln, having met
him at the social gatherings of
those pioneer days. On December 1,
1847, she was married to Edgar W.
Winans of Hamilton, Illinois. Eight
children were born to them. She Is
survived by her husband and seven
Sr., and Linneaus Winans, Sr., of Port
land, Oregon; Wilson R. Winans of
children as follows: Audubon Winans,
Winans, Oregon; Mrs. F. R. Spauld
Ing of Nez Perce, Idaho, Mrs. M. P.
Neff and Mrs. W. E. Neff of Cornelius,
Oregon, and Ephralm T. Winans of
Hood River, also by ten of her grand
children as follows: Ross M., Paul,
Edith, Fair, Ethel, Mary, Audubon, Jr.,
and Linnaeus Winans, Jr., of Winans,
Oregon, and Walter T. Deckey and
I.eore M. H. Ilarnlsh of Ix Angeles,
Cal.
Mr. and Mrs. Winans lived a pioneer
life In Illinois and Kansas, emigrating
to the latter state In 1856 and passing
through the trying times of the Bor
der Ruffian War and the breaking out
of the War of the Rebellion. They
lived within 30 miles of Lawrence,
Kansas, when the Guerilla Quantrell
burned and sacked that town and were
often exposed to danger of guerillas
who murdered and robbed neighboring
settlers.
In 1864 they returned to Hamilton,
Illlnoln, to tht original Winans home-
Most people think "Well, a wagon is a
wagon." Sure! That's logic. It
might be a wagon for a year but the
next year it's a pile of junk. So there
i3 something to it besides paint and
outlines. . Honestly now, if you want
ed to buy a wagon tomorrow, what
would influence you most in your se
lection? Do you know enough about
how to build a wagon to see that all
the good points are there?. .Or that all
the bad ones are not? Well neither
do we... We have to depend on the
people we buy wagons of to give us
our money's worth. . . So do you. And
if anything goes wrong with the wag
on it is always possible that a poor
piece of timber or a piece of steel with
a flaw in it might have slipped past
the inspector at the factory, 'cause he
can't see the inside of wood nor steel
any better than you or I can. If any
thing breaks, who do you look to for
replacement? Your hired man? No
sir-ee! The fellow you bought the
wagon of, that's who!
We've sold enough different kinds of
wagons to know what's what, and we
want to sell you the best, because it's
the cheapest for us in the long run.
We always have and always will make
good on any just claim for replace
ment. We want you to feel you got a
square deal.
We've got a lot of good wagons John
Deere's, Peter Schuttler's, Davenport
Roller Bearing Wagons, Studebaker's,
Mandt's and we personally back ev
ery one we sell. That's worth some
thing to you, Mr. Man. Think it over.
Then come in and see what we can do
for you.
Our next subject, ladies and gentle
men, i3 Incubators and Brooders.
The Petaluma, of course. Been tell
ing you about them for the past three
weeks. It's time you set yours, if you
are ever going to. If you haven't got
one, come in and get it. We can suit
you in size and price. Awfully glad
to get a chance to explain all about
them. The Petaluma's have some spe
cial features that you don't find on
other machines. For instance, the
system of regulating the air ciiculi
tion. Simplest thing in the woiM.
when you see how it is done. Water
in the pan near the lamp furnishes, en
tirely automatically, the proper
amount of moisture. Heat is regu
lated automatically but get the cata
logue and read it! Sent on inquiry.
rv
NEXT! This ad is coming in relays.
Thi3 relay is about plows. Yes, John
Deere Plows. We sent out a circular
letter this week and enclosed a book
entitled "The Science and Art of
Plowing," and if you didn't get yours
ask us for it. It's really the neatest
and most comprehensive (get that
word?) little booklet we ever read.
Tells us how to plow, when to plow,
how deep to plow; tells about plowing
sod; about fall and winter plowing;
about plowing under manure and
about the seed bed. Send for the
booklet then examine the plows. We
have got all styles right in stock soft
center plows, crucible steel, chilled
special hillside plows, breaking plows,
vineyard plows in fact the whole
plow family.
And don't overlook our line of ve
hicles: Spring Wagons, Discs, Har
rows, Disc Plows, Kewanee Water
Systems.
