To) CIVIL WAR VETERAN IS ILLUSTRATED LECTURE LAID TO FINAL REST UPON COMMON BIRDS Father of William F. Hartrampf State Game Warden Finley Will Dies in Portland and Is Talk Under Auspices of Buried at Hillsboro. The Woman’s Club. H I L L S B C R O , Ore., — J. W. Hartramnf, a well known veter an of the Civil War, died at the Nesbeth Sanatorium, Portland, and burial took place here Satur day. He had been ill for some time having suffered a stroke of partial paralysis several months ago. He was a member of Gen eral Ransom Post, of Hillsboro, and was highly e s t e e m e d throughout Washington County. Mr. Hartrampf was born in Prussia May 10, 1846, and came to America when he was but 14 years of age. His family settled in Wisconsin in 1860. He enlist ed in Company E. Seventh Wis consin Infantry and joined the Twenty-second Regiment near Petersburg, Va. early in 1865. Het was mustered out of the ser vice at Jeffersonville, Ind., in July o f that year. Returning home he was married to Freder- icka Wilhelmina Hopp, in Dodge County, Wis., Nov. 18, 1866. They later moved to Minnesota, and in 1886 came to Oregon, set tling near Cornelius. The widow and following children survive: Mrs. Elizabeth Thies, Cherry Grove, Ore; William F., Forest Grove; Robert C., Ferninda E., Albert J., Otto B, and the Misses Amanda and Minnie, all of Hills boro. That the Woman’s Club of Forest Grove is seldom found asleep when questions o f better ment and improvement are up permost is evidenced by the ac tion of the Civics committee of that organization in persuading State Game Warden William L. Finley to deliver his famous lec ture upon the life and habits of Oregon birds, absolutely free of all charge. Mr. Finley, who is President of the Oregon Audub on Society, has made an exhaust ive and intimate study of bird life, in the course o f which he has secured a most rare and valuable collection of lantern slides depecting all varieties of the feathered creatures, and showing their wonderful color ings to the greatest advantage. The lecture will be given in Marsh Hall the evening of No vember 12, starting promptly at 7:45 Admission will be free and everyone is invited to attend.
