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.

AN IMPORTANT MEETING OF
THE NEWBERG FARMERS CLUB
A meeting is to be held in the can
nery auditorium Saturday, April 23,
at 2 p. nt., to discuss the possibilities
of growing broccoli in this section. A
number of growers plan on putting
out considerable acreage. The idea
is to get enough acreage lined up to
make it worth while for the cannery
to handle, or to enable growers to
ship out in fresh Btate. O. A. C.
advisee this crop can be grown bere
to excellent advantage.
/
Another matter that will be taken
up will be that of working out plans
for getting behind and helping to
push "The Berrians” idea. The
Farmers' Club should take a vary
active part in materialising this
splendid Idea.
We want eVery person interested In
either one of thqpe things to come to
the meeting. It does not matter
whether you are a grower or not. _
Now is the time to start! Come
Saturday!
