What a comfort to a person when they
reach the brink of the unknown and,
leaving the cares of life behind, prepare
to cross the Dark Rivor. No fear, not
tho slightest doubt. They have His
promise of protection and safety, and
the thought of dying is nothing more
than that of passing Into dreamless
slumber. Mrs. Anna Eliza Williams,
who passed to her reward last Saturday
night at 9:30, had this faith', and
though her suffering had been intense
for weeks and months, she passed away
as peacefully as a child going to sleep
upon the breast of its mother. She had
perfect faith in the future, and surely
she has earned the great reward by a
long life of usefulness, and leaves this
world better for her having lived in it.
She loved her children and her kindred ;
ber friendship once placed remained
true and firm, and her "going horns"
is mourned beyond the family circle and
many a silent tear coursed down the
cheek of men and women w ho were ever
pleased to call her "grandma." May ber
slumbers be sweet In her turf-covered
habitation, and may the gentle rains of
heaven bring forth many beautiful flow
ers to sited tneir iragrence over ner
tomb in God's acre.
She was born in Lee county, Iowa,
February 21, 1831), and with her parents
crossed the plains by ox team in 1847,
locating on the Jolly D. L. C, north of
this city. She married Samuel Williams
October 23, 1850, and together they lived
on the farm until ten years ago, when
they moved to Hillsboro. Her husband
lied August 10, 18!8. To them were
born four children, Mrs. J. W. Sewell,
of this city; Mrs. C. C. Frazler, of La
Grand, Or., now in Phoenix, Arl. ; W.
W. Williams, of Mountaindale, Or., and
Frank J. Williams of Hillsboro. She al
so leaves one brother, W. B. Jolly, oi
Portland, and two sisters, Mrs. U. M.
Howard and Mrs. A. M. Fletcher, both
of Wilbur, Wash.
The funeral was held Tuesday after
noon irom tne uongregaiionai cnurcii,
Rev. Howard Gilpatrick speaking words
of comfort to the sorrowing friends, tell
ing them not to mourn, for "Grandma"
was at rest and In perfect safety In a
world where there is no sorrow or death.
The house was crowded with friends of
the family, the floral decorations were
profuse and beautiful, the coffin being
banked with choice flowers. Tbs three
hymns sung by the choir were selected
by the deceased before her death and
were, "Kead Kindly ught,". "bearer
My God to Thee," and "Jesus, Lover of
My Soul." and the The Twenty-Third
Psalm was read by Mr. Gilpatrick in
compliance to her request. W. 0. Don
elson had charge of the funeral arrange
ments. Burial was in I. O. O. F. ceme
tery, where the frail body of the deceas
ed was lowered to Its last resting place
into a profusion of beautiful and rare
flowers, while friends and relatives look
ed their last and sad farewell.
Mrs. Williams joined the Cumberland
Presbyterian church at the ags of 15,
and united with the Congregational
church In this city about four years ago.
She was also a member ol the U. ol it.
Relatives of the deceased from aDroad
who were here to attend the funeral,

A Good Record.
Hon. Ben Simpson, who has lon visi
itina Mr. and Mrs. E. D. Thorne and
other old-time friends in IlilUU.ro for
tho past ten davi, i an Or. -oii pioneer
of the class of ltti, and is one of the
best-known citizens of the state, and for
more than thirty years was an impor
tant man of affairs. He wss born in
Warren county, Tennessee, in 1S1H, but
was taken by his parents to Missouri in
1811), and lived there until the year he
left for Oregon. In lH:tt he was mr
ried to a Mis Wisdom, who died in
1X41. He was married again in 1H43 to
Miss Nancy Cooper, and with three
children, John Thomas, Sylvester C.
and Samuel L. crossed the plaius, as in
dicated, and settled on French prairie
in Marion county in 1847. The follow
ing year he served in the Csvuse Indian
war. In 1849 he naade a voyage to Cali
fornia w ith a cargo of lumber w hich was
used to build sluice boxes in the mines,
also mining implements of one kind and
another. Lumber at that time was
worth from 150 to $-50 per thousand
feet. In ISTrt) Mr. Simpson was elected
a member of the Second territorial legis
lature, and served with credit to him
self and his constituents. At different
times afterwards he represented Clacka
mas, Polk and Henton counties In the
legislature. While he was a democrat
during his early life, with the firing on
Fort Sumpter early in lHiil, he became
a Union man and after the close of the
civil war identified himself with the re
publican party, and has affiliated with
that political organization ever since.
He was Indian agent at the Silets and
Grande Konde reservations for eight
years, beginning in 18)12 by appointment
of President Lincoln. Prior to this
time, beginning about lK5tl,
he was sutler at Fort Yamhill, Polk
county. It was during this time that
e formed the acquaintance of Second
Lieutenant Philip II. Sheridan, and
when the latter left Oregon in 18111, ex
pressing a desire to "attain the rank of
captain before the war ended," he
placed all Lis business affairs in Mr.
Simpson's hands; and such was the fide
lity with which this trust was cared for
that the friendship resulting therefrom
was ended only by Gen. Sheridan's
death.
In 1875 he was appointed surveyor
general by President Grant and served
out his term. About 1XH0, he received
an appointment as post-ollice inspector,
and for nearly twenty years thereafter
made his home in Georgia, returning to
Oregon about the year 1U00. The Simp
sons came from Scotland to America in
an early day and first settled In Virginia.
When Benjamin grew to manhood he
learned through family tradition that
an uncle had left a large estate in Scot
land, not much attention was given to
this, however, for many years. At
length, probably about 187U, Mr. Simp
son accidentally picked up a Scotch pa
per in this state in which appeared a
notice to the effect that there was a
large estate in Scotland that was about
to escheat to the crown, because no one
could be found who could prove his
Ightful ownership, thereunto, and
stating, furthermore, that it was be
lieved there were heirs in the Southern
part of the United States. This acci
dental finding of a reference to the Simp
son estate in Scotland recalled the tra
dition to the same effect of his early
manhood, and Mr. Simpson secured the
appointment as above noted, and made
his home in the south with the inten
tion of establishing his claim to the es-
state which, upon investigation be
learned was valued at several millions
of dollars. After a number of years of
strenuous effort, the project was aban
doned, because the kind of evidence re
quired could not be found. He satis
fied himsolf however that he was the le
gitimate heir, and that he could have
proved his claim had it not been for the
destruction of family papers by fire.
It will be remembered that Mr. Simp-
sou s son, Samuel U. Simpson leu an
impress upon Oregon literature as a fact
which will grow brighter as the years
pass by. To have been the father of the
author of the wonderful poem, "Beauti
ful Willamette," to say nothing of the
many otber exquisite poems written by
his son, is indeed a great distinction,
and one that will perpetrate the family
name forevermore in the annals of Ore
gon.

Braid and border for tby aide;
Grace fbrerer haunts thy Jouroey,
Beauty dimple on thy tide.
Through lb purpl gate of morulrg.
Now tby roaeat ripple dance;
Oolden, then, when day departing.
On lb water trail bla ianoe;

Like tboe warerlng bope of Aldenn,

Clouded often, drowned In turmoil.
Faint and lorelj. far waT
Wreathing lunablo on tb morrow.
Breathing fragrance, round today,
Lot would wonder.

Hither poetry would dream;
Life' old question.

Oath roaring waatee of ocean.

Mid lb eurgee rythmic thunder.
Shall tby allrer tongne b lot.
Ob' ihv glimmering rneh of gladnea
Morka Una turbiil life of mine,
Racing to tb wild Forerer.
Down Ibe sloping patha of Urn;
Onward ever.

LeaTee no lret k or trench en thee.
