THE OREGON STATESMAN, SALEM OREGON SUNDAY i MORNING, (MARCH; 27, 1927 3 5 1 r i f Memorial (By Judge Peter II.

She was a meonber of the Looney family, who have occupied such an important position in the affairs of our county and state.

Miss Looney had 'been an in valid for several yeajrs. Prior to her illness she was very active in all matters that tended for the betterment of the people. Born in 184 5, she grew (up with, the history of Oregon and felt a spe cial interest in its progress and development. Miss Loonety took a great in terest In pioneer meetings and our annual state fairs. At the first state fair held in Salem she was awarded a handsome saddle in a ladies contest for riding, being an expert rider. She could handle a horse second to none among the splendid horsewomen of pioneer times. In the old days the stage line, which operated between Portland and California, stopped to change horses at the Looney farm, near Jefferson. My recollection of this is quite vivid.

Fairbanks, were three of the most prominent society women in Marion county, when I was a boy. For their beauty and exceptional qualities and charm ing manner they were the belles of all entertainments and parties in which the young people par ticipated. The years have brought their sorrow to each one of them, but the -pioneer spirit has sustained them in all the trials and vicis situdes which they have encount ered. Miss Looney was one of those who could truly say: I always Plucked a thistle and planted a flower where I thought a flower would grow1. Miss Looney lived long beyond the Biblical period allotted to us, with bright hopes for the future and eternal ret from all troubles and cares of this life. Sincere in her beliefs, she solved the earthly problems, as her best judgemnt pointed out the way. One by one Ihe old land. marks of pioneer days are passing away.

The royil lovers were married under a, Christian marriage ceremony at high noon in a forest glade. Shortly after the sun reached its zenith, the shy bride was led from the women's quarters by her atendants. She wore a sky-blue pleated, brocaded skirt surmount ed by a shimmering, white silk jumper heavily fringed. On her head was a crown of Madonna blue silk. A dainty gold ring hung in her nose. The King was nattily attired in the orthodox top hat, morning coat, grey striped trousers, patent leather shoes and suede gloves. He carried, with great pride, the walking stick recently presented to him by the Prince of Wales. Under the Hymeneal canopy, the prophet Shembe "spoke of the law of the Zulu kings and the ex pectations of the people for a roy al heir. To the marriage vows, pledged by joined hands laid on top of a Bible, Zondi's replies were inaudible but Solomon's "Yebo" was reverent and decisive. After . the ceremony the King rose, tacked his wife's hand under his arm and escorted her away amid shouts of, "Solomon wandhla, Solomon wandhla," NAVAL BATTLE FOUGHT TODAY NEAR SHANGHAI (Continued from page 1.)

WRLIIDSM WSSESflY Sorrill Home Radiated Good Cheer, Friendliness and Love for Others William Sorrill was born Sep tember 30th, 1843 near Broms grove. Worcestershire, England, where his early life was spent. As was the custom he was bound out as apprentice to a cab inet maker when a very young boy but he always had a love for the soil and preferred to help his father till the land. In June, 1S68 he was united in marriage to Miss Sarah Ann Young. In March, 1870, the Sor rill family consisting of the father, Henry Sorrill and-his wife, the son William Sorrill and his wife, with two younger brothers Henry and Thomas, emigrated from England to the United States and settled near Jacksonville, 111. In March, 1883. William Sorrill and his wife moved to York, Ne braska, going onto a farm there and eleven years later, in 1894, he was bereft of the wife. In June 1896 he was united in marriage to Miss Sadie White, of Jacksonville, 111., and later sold the farm in Nebraska, moving to Salem, Oregon, in 1908, where he has lived ever since near the En glewood school. Je was converted over 50 years ago and united with the Methodist Episcopal church at Shiloh on the Jacksonville Circuit, and has ever been a consistent Christian, loved and respected where ever known. In January, 1926. he suffered a paralytic stroke from which he never fully recovered, on Febru ary 10th, 1927, the wife, Sadie, died. She had given a year of most devoted care to the frail hus band and was not able to survive an attack of flu and pneumonia.

She left two sisters, Mrs. Jessie Spencer of Topeka, Kansas, and Mrs. Lottie Parker of Omaha, Ne braska, besides nieces and ne phews. ' The home thus so recently broken up will be but a memory to the hosts of friends. Mr. and Mrs. Sorrill while they had no family had room in the heart and home for every one.' They were both of the happy cheerful Christian type who al ways make warm friends and es pecially were they ever near by in time of need and sorrow, to give of themselves and their sympathy. Of the York, Nebraska, friends many had come to Salem too, to make their home and to them were Mr. and Mrs. Sorrill especial ly dear. uniting witn tne J'irsi Evidence of Character It is often said that a man's clothes give evidence of his character. .More than that, they express quite definitely the sort of shops he habit uates.

The, home radiated sunshine, love and good cheer and was filled -with flowers "grown and cared for by Mr. and Mrs. Sorrill and so gladly shared with every one. In the passing on of these two noble people the friends and neighbors feel a very great loss. No one could come in touch with their lives without receiving help in some way. They got so much out of life for they were al ways giving to others. The remains, rest in the Jason Lee cemetery and thus they both have entered upon the life beyond. Mrs. Spencer, the sister of Mrs. Sorrill, and T. G.
