DEATH CLAIMS LAST VETERAN Dallas Horatio P. Shrlver, the last Civil war veteran in this vicin ity, and organizer of the local unit of the Q.A.B., passed away Friday evening at the home of his daughter, Mrs. C. B. Godlonton. He was 82 years 3 months 9 days old. Horatio Shrlver was born In Bal timore, Maryland, In 1843. Seventeen years later he came west to Yreka. The trip consumed 240 days and was full of lively Incidents, Including an attack by Indians at Bear River, Utah. After a year In California he came to Oregon. Cattle driving and farming occupied his attention until he enlisted in the Northern ranks where he remained until he was mustered out In 1863. In 1867 he married Mary Jane Sebring and shortly after his mar riage became the first marshall of the city of Dallas. During his eight year term of office he was never known to carry- firearms, his only weapon being a loaded cane. His wife died In 1870. Six years later he married Man dana S. Mills of Centralia, Wash., and again returned to Dallas where he once more assumed the duties of marshall. His roving spirit took him back up to Washington and while there he entered the service of the Northern Pacific as a painter. In 1897 he moved to Dallas and here he resided since. A remarkable tribute to his active life is the fact that at the age of 80 years he was awarded the con tract to paint the county buildings at the fairgrounds and did all the work himself. He is survived by three daughters, Mrs. W. A. Boyd of Seattle, Mrs. W. A. Richards of Westwood, Calif., and Mrs. C. B, Qodlonton of Dal!fj four grandchildren and two great grandchildren.
