] fi * & f; N ewberg VOL. XXXII CITY HONORS MEMORY OF DR. LITTLEFIELD FUNERAL SERVICES BELD TODAY Newberg Lodge A. F. & A. M. Cooper ate W ith American Legion in Ceremoniez—^-Stores Close. All Newberg was shocked and sad dened last week to learn of the death of Dr. Harry Littlefield, which oc curred at Tucson, Arlsona, on Friday, April 15. ~ Dr. Littlefield had gone to that place last September to get re lief from a consumptive condition brought on as a result of being gass ed In the Argonne, and although at first his condition seemed to improve, It soon Was apparent to those who knew that he could not overcome the handicap of the disease. Dr. Littlefield was born at Lafay ette. Oregon, April 11, 1I7(: He graduated from the University of Ore gon Medical college in 1597 and soon after enlisted for service In the Span- ish-Amerlcan war, being sent to the Philippines, where he was stationed for the duration of the hostilities. He came to Newberg in 1903 and took over the practice of his brother. Dr. Horace Littlefield, who passed away shortly after this. From that time up to the time of his going to Arizona last fall, he followed his profession here In Newberg continuously with the exception of the time spent In the service during the late world war. He was a captain In the medical corps during his service In the Spantsh- Amertcan war and during the late war was raised to the rank of major. For many years he was associated with Dr. E. A. Romlg In his practice, but upon his return from the late war he became associated with Dr. J. W. Barcroft. The remains were brought to New berg on Wednesday and were escorted to the Littlefield home that after noon by a guard froth the American Legion and lay In state at the home up to the time of the funeral. Dr. Littlefield was one of New- berg's most prominent citizens and In toke not this, the city council at Its session this week Issued a procla mation asking that all business houses dose during the hours of the funeral, and this request was largely complied with ^ tto9*toRilMi The funeral was one of the largely attended of any held in New berg In many years and was held un der the Joint supervision of the Ma- ■dns and American Legion. Services were conducted at the Presbyterian churctuat 2 p. m. Thurs day afternoon, Rev. Bowersox, pastor of the Portland Evangelical church officiating. Music for the service was furnished by Mrs. Oeorgla Babcock and Miss Evah Hadley and consisted of a solo by the /ormer, "Face to Face,” and two duets. "Beautiful Isle” and “Lead Kindly Light.” A caisson was secured from the Vancouver barracks for the occasion and the casket placed on this for transportation, a team of four large horses being used. 'A bugler from the Vancouver barracks was also present. Six active pall bearers were furnished by the American Legion and eight honorary pall bearers by Masons. The active pall bearers were: A. P. Fessler, George Nichols. A. W. Heater. W. E. Thomas. V.~M. Oroff and C. A. Evans. The honorary pall bearers were: Dr. E. H. Tucker, Dr. Cornelius and Dr. Yenney, all of Portland .and Dr. John W. Barcroft, George Lutz. Lynn B. Ferguson, R. J. Moore and Walter Mills of Newberg. The casket was draped with the American flag an da color guard was appointed by the Legion, as follows: J. R. McDonald, sergeant: E. Duncan, J. C. Nelson and Walter Zurlck. Interment took place in the local cemetery and here the Masons had charge of the service, using their im pressive burial service. A firing squad from the Legion gave a salute. The squad was composed of B. J. Groth. lieutenant In charge; Ray Rus sell. corporal; E. 8. Moore, C. J. Zum- walt, W. C. Newman, D. C. Morris, I. J. Morris, H. H. Rockwell, R. E. Wan less and A. 8. Llvengood. Taps were then sounded as the close of the service. A brother, Judge E. V. Littlefield, of Portland; a step-mother, Mrs. H. R. Littlefield, of Portland, and the following nieces a"nd nephews, Robert Bradshaw of The Dalles, Hobart Lit tlefield of Oregon City, Mrs. Leila Eldredge of Newberg. and Mrs. Hazel Davidson of 8t. Paul and Forest Lit tlefield of Portland were all expected to be in attendance at the funeral. Dr. Littlefield was too well known In Newberg to call for any eulogistic remarks fro mus. He always was ac tive in civic affairs and was consid ered to be one of the very beet phy sicians and surgeons in the state. His genial disposition and general good nature won for him the friendship of a very large number of people who will feel keenly his being taken away. BOBH HODGES— In Newberg.
