she would be hollering in the ears

ness will go on forever, and be more
profitable to the small farmer year

The funeral of Gustave Hodes,
one of the oldest settlers of Cor
vallis, took place on Sunday at 2
o'clock from the undertaking par
lors of S. N. Wilkins, Rev.
A. Carnck, of the Presbyterian
church, officiating.
Lrustave Modes was Dorn in
Prussia, Germany, on January
123, 1020, where he spent his
early youth and apprenticed to a
locksmith and gunsmith. After
completing his apprenticeship he
traveled extensively over Europe,
kgypt afld Palestine, returning
to his , native town after an ab
sence of five years.
In 1855 he came to America,
making the trip in a sailing ves
sel around Cape Horn and arriv
ed in San Francisco in 1856. In
the spring of the next year he
came to Oregon and for a short
time made his home in Portland.
Alter making a study of the dif-
terent sections 01 the state, in
August, in the year 1857, he
came to Corvallis, of which place
he remained a citizen till the day
of his death.
Mr. Hodes early identified him
self with the commercial inter
ests of his adopted town. His
place of business was burned sev
eral times. He originally locat
ed across the river, in what was
then known as Orleans. The
flood of 1 86 1 washed away the
building in which he was doing
business. Then, with most of
the other merchants there, he
moved to this side of the river.
For 47 years Mr. Hodes has
been a prominent figure in Cor
vallis business circles. Punctual
to a fault, methodical in his I
habits, diligent and active, he
had attended to his business as
regularly as the sun rose and set.
For a short time, while the
soldiers were stationed at King's
Valley, he run a store at Fort
Hoskins. This store was destroy
ed by fire. E. W. Fisher came to
Corvallis in 1857 or about the
same time as Mr. Hodes, and the
death of the latter leaves him the
oldest original business man now
in Corvallis.
Mr. Hodes was taken sick on
Monday, the" 2 1st, with peritoni
tis, and died on Friday at 3:15 p.
m. He leaves a wife, Anna
Hodes, a son Hubert, and daugh
ter, Minnie, now the wife of
School Supt. G. W. Denman.
A brother of the deceased, Wil
helm Hodes, is now residing in
Germany, and also his sister,
Mrs. Louise Weber. ' Another
brother, Clement, came to Amer
The Short Session.
