the protection of the children who
must spend five days a week in the

In school the spreading of infec
tion is a serious thing, becau-ne it is
more frequently here that Infection
is transferred among children of
widely separated households.
Teachers, parents and children
should realize that when many child
ren gather together the danger of
measles, scarlet fever, whooping
cough, and diphtheria is great It is
very Important for parents and
teachers to co-operate with the local
health officer and the family physi
cian In trying to discover and isolate
these childhood diseases.
It is particularly important to do
this in every family whero some .
child is starting off to school. The
school when it opens will therefore
not become the medium of spreading
some communicable disease through
the community. '
If you have any suspicion that you
may have had a childhood disease
in your family during vacation time
be sure to consult your family physi
cian or local health oficer before
school opens.

Three score and ten is considered
the allotment of life of man, but
when a man exceedee that time by '
more than a decade, then his life
must have been exceedingly clean
and upright Gabriel Cannon
Stakely, the subject of this sketch,
lived to the age of 84 years 7
months and 25 days, passing away
on Sunday, September 11, 1927, at
his home near Wamic, and had con
cluded a life filled with good, a life
of uprightness and a firm belief In
the celestial happiness to come after
death.
Mr. Stakely was born January 16,
1844, in Hawkins county, Tennessee.
While yet a child he went with his
parents, George Stakely and wife,
to Indiana the family later moving
to Missouri, where Gabriel spent his
early manhood. He was' an early
convert to the Christ Adelphia faith,
and later took up the dissemination
of thetenets of that creed from the
pulpit He completed a common
school education, and for some time
thereafter engaged in teaching.
' When tie tocsin of war sounded
throughout the land in the early
'60's. Mr. Stakely answered, and wa
in the service many years. Hi took
part in many major engagements,
notably that oof Pea Ridge.
Marsh 17, 1879, he was united in
marrage with Miss Lydia nuotson.
Later his wife's health began to
faO and in order to benefit her Mr.
and Mra. Stakely sought relief in tht
farther west staying for a time in
Colorado, then coming to Oregon,
settling at Toledo. In the year 1900
the Stakely family moved to Wasco
county, where Mr. Stakely took up
a homestead in what is known v.s tht
Wamic cuntry. There he spent the
remainder of his life, spacing nis .
residence between Waraic and Tygh
Valley.; : ,
Remaining to mourn his loss Mr.
Stakely leaves hia aged wife, Lydia
Stakely, and two daughters, they be
ing Mrs. S. B. Meiser of Connell,
Wash,, and Ercell Stakely of Seattle.
Two brothers, Thomas Stakely of
Portland, and Richard Stakely of
Tygh Valley, also survive.
Decedent was a devout christian,
a loyal citizen and a devoted husband
and father. While his taking away
may be laid to ailments incident to
old age, atill his place is one which
never will be filled in the community
in which he lived so many years. He
was loved and respected by all who
knew him and all rest satisfied in
the knowledge, that he has gone
to that place where there is eternal
