C. W. 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. The cor

and Mrs. E. A. Taylor, at the corner
of Franklin avenue and Sixteenth
street, tomorrow, at 11:30 o'clock
