Brown. Chitwood All the people in the vicinitv of umwoou were shocked at the sud den death of Rufus Chitwood, eldest son of I). J; and Lena Chit wood. Rufus had not been very well for over a month past. His father wrote to a doctor in Albany, giving him a description in detail of his ailments. The doctor replied with an encouraging letter and sent some medicine but the medicine seemed to do no good. This was some weeks since. On the 27th of December Mrs. Chitwood went with Rufus to Philomath to consult Dr. Nuth, who pronounced the disease diabeU-s and, in his case, incurable, but that he might live a month. She returned home with him the same day and ho walked half way home from the station. The next morning he felt better but during the day began to grow weaker and, despite all efforts to prolong his life, his spirit fled about eight o'clock p. m. on the 28th he just seemed to go to sleep with a calm, restful look on his face. Ho wa taken to the Seventh Day Ad ventist church on- Thursday, the 30th, followed by a large concourse of people, notwithstanding the. drenching rain. The house was filled to overflowing and there listened to an earnest sermon by Elder T. II. Starbuck on the sub ject of "The Redemption." The remains were then carried by six young men to the cemetery where wo paid our last inspects to this noble youth of 17 years. One strange thing about his case was he seemed to have no pain whatever except weakness. Ho was appar ently a strong, healthy, good naturcd young man, weighing a')out 18' pounds when well. Ho was highly respected by all who knew him. Tie was an earnest Christian and a 'neink'r in good standing of the Seventh Day Adventint church and was secretary of the Sabbath school . Miss Linnie Oea- of the Portland Sanitarium and Iloylo Gear of Mm Royal Academy were home to spend the holidays. Miss Gear, who is a professional nurse, rendered valu able services during the last sicklies of Rufus Chitwood. Mrs. Gear's brother, George Bushey, of Washington, is visiting her. The long continued cold spell is getting next to many of the undug potatoes. Uncle Billie Curtis of Tidewater is visiting his friends, J. E. Wilson and family.
