SAD DEATH FOLLOWS
BIRTH OF CHILD
MRS. H. K. METCALF DIES UN
EXPECTEDLY
Was Daughter of Prominent Linn
County Pioneer; Three Small
Children and Husband
Survive.
The saddest death in Cottage Grove
for several years was that o f Mrs. H.
K. Metcalf Saturday, following a few
weeks after the birth o f a daughter.
Cause o f death was enteric fever. The
funeral was held Monday at Halsey,
the family home o f Mrs. M etcalf’s
parents. The services were conducted
by Rev. J. L. Beatty o f this city. A
beautiful floral piece was the shield
given by 6th Co., C, A. C.. o f which
Mr. Metcalf is commanding officer. The
stores closed during the services in this
city.
Emma D. Gray was born at Halsey
Oct. 3, 1881, and married Mr. M etcalf
Sept. 17, 1900. They moved to Cottage
Grove 11 years ago. Three children
and husband survive. The children are
Donald Gray, aged 4', Harry Dale, aged
2J, and Merrick, born four weeks age.
Mrs. M etcalf’s parents were Caleb
and Frances E. Gray. Mrs. Gray sur
vives and is a resident o f this city.
Mr. Gray and his first w ife came across
the plains in 1852 taking a donation
claim near Halsey. They were among
the best known early settlers o f Linn
County, Mr. Gray founding the Linn
County Pioneers Association. Both
were prominent in church work and
Mr. Gray was active in politics. Mrs.
Gray died in 1875 and Mr. Gray rem ar
ried at Portland in 1877 to the mother
o f Mrs. Metcalf.
The county will spend about 18000 on
roads leading to Cottage Grove during
the coming season. Half o f this is the
money to which Cottage Grove was en
titled last year but which for various
reasons was not used at that time.
Commissioner Hawley has been given
charge o f the work in this end o f the
county and informs The S e nt i n e 1
that if nothing happens to change his
mind he will first macadamize Pacific
Highway from the city limits to the
