WAS RURIED ALIVE.
Grewsomc Discovery Made In Open
ing Grave at Tillamook.
A grewsome story comes from the
Tillamook district. A letter from Bay
City, Oregon,, says:
Away back In 1883 Richard
Churchill, after a trip from the Wil
lamette valley to Tillamook, was tak
en suddenly 111, died and was burled
near the last named place. At the
time his death was surrounded by
mystery, but talk soon died out, and
the matter was forgotten.
A short time ago a nephew, Walter
Churchill, decided to transfer the
remains of his deceased relative to
the Odd Fellows' cemetery above
Tillamook City and on taking up the
casket, examination Indicated that
the man had been burled alive. The
skull was found to be lying face
downward, one leg was drawn up al
most to the body, and both arms
were found on the left side as though
the man had partially turned over be
fore death finally came to his relief.
The report given out at the time of
Mr. Churchill's death was that the
end was the result of heart disease.
He was at the time traveling with a
stranger and was known to be In
possession of a considerable sum of
money, and the sudden death was
looked upon as suspicious, but no In-1
vestigation was made.
Indications are that the man was
not dead when burled, but had prob
ably been drugged, robbed and put
out of the way by burial. It was not
likely If he met with foul play, which
the existing circumstances would In
dicate was the case, that anything
can now be done to bring the guilty
ones to Justice, especially as the per
sons on whom suspicion would natur
ally fall, has not been seen In this
section of the state since the time of
Mr. Churchill's funeral, nearly twenty
years ago.

The Salem Statesman says of Dr.

Dr. Rowland came to Oregon In
184 4 and was one of Oregon's most
honored pioneers. He was Oregon's
first superintendent of public Instruc
tion, having been elected to that of
fice In 1874. The doctor was of
English ancestry and was born at
Nashville, Tennessee, on September
17, 1831.
When thirteen years of age, he
crossed the plains to Oregon with
his father and they settled on a gov
ernment -donation claim, where he
remained, helping his father In the
Improvement of the farm, where he
obtained such practical Information
In regard to stock and farming as
was of value to him in later years.
When 18 years old he entered Into
an agreement with his father to go
to California to the gold mines which
had Just been discovered. The bar
gain was that his father was to have
half of the proceeds. He mined from
1849 to 1851 and met with fair suc
cess; half the proceeds were paid to
his father, and half he Invested In
Mexican cattle.
The work In the gold mines and his
profit on the Investment In stock
gave him the means with which he
obtained his education. . He accord
Ingly went to Bethany college, Vir
ginia, taking the courses and obtain
ing his degrees. He then traveled
In nearly every state and territory of
the union, teaching in different places
and In the meantime studying medi
cine.
On November 18. 1859, at Marvin
Alabama, he was married to Miss
Emma J. Sardus. She was a native
of Alabama, having been born May
1, 1839, and was a graduate of
Franklin college, Tennessee. They
had five children, four of whom died
In their Infancy. Their surviving
daughter, Miss Levla, married Jay
C. Smith of this city, now of San
Francisco. After his marriage, Mr,
Rowland returned to Oregon, where
he obtained his medical degree. In
Willamette university, the profession
which he followed ever since.
In 1874 he was elected state super
intendent of public Instruction, In
which capacity he served for four
years, when he went to Europe for
two years, attending lectures and
traveling In Egypt and the orient.
During all of his career the doctor
was actively engaged In educational
Interests and had the honor of hav
ing attached to his name the four
degrees, M. D., LL. D., F. R. S., and
M. A.
He was an ordained minister of
the CI) list Ian denomination, and was
at one time, president of their c61
lege at Monmouth, now the state
normal school. He was also a coun
ty school superintendent and In 1860
organized and conducted the first
teachers' Institute held In the state.
In 1863 he became the owner of a
ranch of 800 acres at The Dalles, on
