Ann Roe.
Mrs. Ann Roe, mother of Mrs,
C. E. Woodson, of this city, died
at the Heppner Sanitarium last
Thursday morning', after a lingering
illness. She had been an invalid
for a cumber of years, being con
lined to her home the most of the
time, but it was not until within
the last month or two that her ill
dobs took a serious turn. A short
time previous to her passing, she
was taken to the sanitarium for
treatment and careful nursiDg, bu
her age seemed to work against her
recovery, and the end came as
Btated above.
A short funeral service was held
at the undertaking parlors of J. L
Yeager, Friday morning, just prior
to the departure of the train, and
the remains were shipped to Hood
River, where they were laid beside
those of her husband, who preceded
to the realms beyond a number of
years before. The remains were
accompanied to Hood River by Mr,
and Mrs. Woodson.
Ann Roe was born at Rock Isl
and, Ills., in February, 1833, her
parents being of Scotch descent and
early pioneers of that state. She
croised the plains to Orpgon by ox
team in 1852. This was the chol
era year and Mrs. Roe lost a sister
on the plains from the disease.
Her father and mother settled at
Vancouver, Wash., the old home,
stead being now a part of the town
site of Vancouver. Her education
was gained at the Portland Acade
my, which institution she attended
until the year 1856, when she was
married to Q. C. Roe, a pioneer i
Methodist minister. She continued
to live in and about Portland until
1876, when ber husband took
government position and removed
to Ft. Simcoe on the Yakima In
dian reservation. Oa leaving the
government position he joined the
Columbia River Conference and
became a presiding elder, the fam
ily living in different parts of east
em Oregon and Washington. Rev.
Roe at one time had charge of the
work of his church at Hepnner.
u 1889 they removed to Eugene

Mrs. Roe came to Heppner in
905 and resided with her daugh

George W. Maxwell.
At Forest Grove, Ore., on the
9th lost., occurred the death of
George W. Maxwell, a Morrow
Connty pioneer, and a familiar fig
ure among our people for a long
number of years. It had been but
about two weeks since Mr. Max
well visited Heppner and Hard man
having come up from Forest Grove
to attend to some business matters
and on the trip from Heppur to
Hardman and return by the stage
he took cold, which developed into
pneumonia. This, coupled with
his extreme age, speedily brought
him down to death's door and he
was gathered in by the grim reaper
on Sunday at the home of his niece,
Mrs. W. H. French, where he was
iving.
Ibe remains were shipped to
Heppner, arriving Tuesday eve-
ning, and taken to Hardman ye6ter
day for burial, services being held
under the auspices of the G. A. R.
and condcuted by Rev. C. H.
Davis, of this city.
Geo. W. Maxwell was born in
Washington County, Penn., April
13, 1826, and died at Forest Grove
Oregon, April 9, 1911, aged 84
years, 11 months and 27 days. He
was married in 1850 to Margaret
Hanna. and to them.four children
were born, Milton S. Maxwell, now
of Roseburg, Oregon, being the
only one now living. He served
nearly three years in the Union
army during the rebellion, being a
member of Co. K, 12th West Vir
ginia Volunteer Infantry. He
came to Morrow County in the
Spring of 1883, eettleing on a
claim in the Gooseberry neighbor
ed! f.v l followed farming for sev
eral years, finally retiring from the
farm to move to Hardman where
he lived until November, 1910,
when he removed to Forest Grove.
Mr. Maxwell was a member of
the M. E. Church for over GO years
always faithful, and was a man of
fine character and Sti rling worlh.
He rounded out more than his
three score and ten years, and has
passed to a well-earned reward.

High School Students Pre

The manufacturers of Royal Bak
ing Powder have always declined
to produce a cheap baking powder
at the sacrifice of quality.
Royal Baking Powder is made from
pure grape cream of tartar, and is
the embodiment of all the excellence
possible to be attained in the high

Royal Baking Powder costs only a
fair price, and is more economical
at its price than any other leavening
agent, because of the superlative
quality and absolute wholesomeness
of the food it makes.'
Mixtures made in imitation of baling powders tut containing alum,
are frequently distributed from door to door, or given away in grocery
stores. Such mixtures are dangerous to use in food. In England,
