CARNAHAN DEAD After An Illness of But Forty Eight Hours. UNDERWENT AN OPERATION Never Recovered Consciousness and Complications Resulted Which Hastened His Demise An Honor able Career. Clark Wilson Carnahan is dead! All day, yesterday, his death was a mooted question throughout the city among hundreds of friends, who, knowing the deep stress to which he was reduced, were momentarily ex pecting the sad intelligence, and seek ing either a relief from the strain, or confirmation of their worst fears. His death was due to complications arising from an operation, successful ly performed on the evening of Wed nesday, for abcess of the car, and en gendered by a stomach malady from which he has suffered for the past 15 years. He never recovered con sciousness from the time of his oper ation until the final summons came; and though, for a while yesterday morning, his physicians cherished the hope that his strong constitution might carry him through the ordeal, the fact that he went into convul sions during the forenoon, dissi pated the hope, and they but waited the end, which came at 6:15 o'clock last evening. His aged mother, Mrs. Mary E. Carnahan, and his wife, Mrs. Mattie C. Carnahan, with several members of the immediate family, were with him when he died and had been close to him during the sad and uncertain hours preceding his death; and to them, as well as to the entire com munity, the dread circumstance was terribly sudden and beyond conciev able anticipation. He was at his desk, on the morning of Wednesday, at the custom house, and was then suf fering from an aggravated phase of the ear trouble, which, increasing in violence during the day, urged him to meet a conference of physicians, that afternoon, to-wit. Drs. Fulton, Kinney and Henderson, who decided upon an immediate operation for the relief of the sufferer and as a check upon the further progress of that ail ment, the graver complexities obtrud ing themselves later. The remains of the late Collector of the Port were at once conveyed to the undertaking parlors of .W. C. A. Pohl where they will be prepared for burial when the family shall have de cided upon the time and place of the obsequies, which will probably take place on Sunday, tomorrow, though this is yet to be confirmed from the home of the deceased. Mr. Carnahan was scarcely 48 hours away from his business, his home, and usual haunts, before the news of his illness, danger, and death, had run their various lengths; and it is saying but little, indeed, to say that Astoria and Clatsop are grieved and shocked at his passing. He was not only one of the leading public men of the community, the chief representative of the govern ment here, a son of one of the dis tinguished pioneer families of the county and State, an honorable citi zen, active, progressive and reliable always, but to those whom he per mitted to pass the close reserve in which he held himself was known as a warm, dependable, loyal friend, a ready and kindly neighbor, and a very model in his home and home life wherein he was held with the respect and tenderness that rewards the irreproachable husband and father. Mr. Carnahan was born at the bid family home on Clatsop Plains, on the 5th of June, 1858, and was, there fore in his 50th year; and was the son of Hiram and Mary E. Carna han, his venerable mother still sur viving and mourning him. He re ceived his education in the schools of Clatsop, using the exccllont basis they afforded upon which to con struct the broader equipment that comes from devoted reading and study pursued later in life. His early life was given over to the acquisition of practical knowledge of machinery, and he served his apprenticeship in this behalf at some of the great shops in San Francisco, following the mas terful trade thereafter for some years. While in the metropolis of the Pa cific he met, and married, Miss Mat tie Cameron, and to them, in the happy years that have intervened have been born three daughters and a son, Mrs. Lex Dimond, of Clatsop Plains; Miss Virginia Carnahan (now at the family home, and who was to have been married today to Mr, Harry Bohannpn); Miss Bertrudc Carnahan, the youngest child; and the only son, Stewart aged 21 years, and just home from a course in business college at Portland. Two brothers and three sinters survive him, also; R. N. Carnahan, deputy assessor of this county; Frank C. Carnahan, who has logging interests and a home at Hoquiam, Washing ton; Mrs. E. A. Taylor, of this city; Miss Florence Carnahan, of Los An geles, California, and Mrs. Nellie Mercer, now dwelling in Southern California. Mr. Carnahan served his county for eight years as Assessor, and for one term represented her in the lower house of the Oregon Legisla ture (1902) and on the 3rd day of September, 1906, was appointed by President Roosevelt to be Collector of Customs for the Port of Astoria, a position which he has filled with scrupulous care and faithful con cern, for exactly 19 months to a day. In all his public service he has won credit for his high official stand ards and devoted attention to busi ness. Aside from that part of his career given over to public matters and interests, he has always been ac tive in the establishment of progres sive methods of farming and dairy ing, and for the last tew years has been deeply interested in the recla mation of swamp lands; and in this connection was the leading spirit in the opening up of Cullsby Lake, in this county, whereby hundreds of fine and virgin soil were reclaimed to culture and profitable use. He was the owner of some very valuable properties in this section and was prosecuting distinct improvements upon nearly all of them. Personally, he was one of the quietest of men; not cold nor repcl- lant but of a dignified, retiring man ner, reserved in all things until his definite interest was aroused when he became at once an engaging and fluent talker and genial companion. There is scarcely a home in all Clat sop county in which he was not known and thoroughly respected and in which there will not linger many a kindly memory of Clark W. Carna han. (Later This office has been ap prised of the plans of the family in the matter of Mr. Carnahan's funeral and the same will be held in the old Presbyterian Church, at Clatsop Plains, at 1 o'clock tomorrow (Sun day); Rev. W. Seymour Short, rec tor of Grace Episcopal Church, of this citv. officiating. Interment will be had in the family plat in the old Pioneer Cemetery there.
