W ed d in g B ells R ing O ut O n th e N ight A il Married -In Oregon Cily, Sat urday, Augut 14, 1920, Miss Edith 1. Ferry to Theodore A. Reid. * The young couple are well and favorably known, the bride being the pretty and popular daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Art Ferry of Garfield, and the groom the son of Mrs. N o r a Reid who lives south of Estacada. They were accompanied by the patents of the bride and mother of the groom to the county seat for the marriage ceremony. The newly married p a i r returned to the home of the groom’s mother Sunday, where that evening their many friends gave them an old fashioned charivari which for noise was never surpassed, and seldom equalled. They will make their home at the groom’s mill in the Logan country, accompanied by the best wishes of all who know them. Tuesday afternoon a man in quired at the bank where the coroner, sheriff or some one in authority could be found. He in formed Mr. Stephens that he had brought that morning, a party of five from Fortland to the Nunn ranch in Garfield, which adjoins that of Doc Falmateer. The day before Richard K. Nunn of Fortland, brother of the owner of the ranch, had gone out, and on arriving they found him dead, and evidently for some hours. There were evidences they feared of suicide. Milt Marshall, depu ty sheriff was notified, who put himself in touch with the author ities. The coroner came out in tho evening and with Mr. Marsh all and Dr. McCall went out t«> view the body. Dr. McCall ex amined it, and gave his opinion that death was caused by a drug. As Dr. Nunn had been in a very nervous condition from over work, evidently he had taken an opiate to induce sleep and inad vertantly an over dose, so it was decided that no inquest was nec essary. An underlaker of the Holman Co. of Fortland was sent out after the remains and took them back that night. The de ceased was an eminent oculist and had practiced in Fortland from 1882 to 1915, when he went to Europe to work in the war hospitals, in the medical corps of the British army, and had only returned three weeks from over seas He was a native of Eng land and educated at Dublin uni versity and about sixty-one years of age.
