On the 5 th day of October at Igee, Grant county, Oregon, the spirit of Edward W ooley took its departure after a life of active usefulness at the ripe old age of 74 years. Mr. W ooley was the last survivor of the family of that name who were so well known in this county for many years. His brother John preceded him by just two months to a day passing away at Portland last August. Their two sisters, Mrs. H en ry Buxton and Mrs. Jerome Porter were also very prominent in this coun ty before their death some years ago. Mr. W ooley lived for many years on a ranch near Gales City from where he removed to Eastern Oregon near his children at Izee who were with him at the time of his death which resulted from a stroke of paralysis. Besides his three sons and one daughter, there is a wide circle of friends and relatives who will be grieved to leam that he has been taken from among them. His long life filled with earnest work and kind deeds have made its influ. ence felt on all sides.
