HERMISTON, UMATILLA COUNTY, OREGON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1932
UMATILLA, Ore., Nov. 16 (Spec­
ial)—David Clinton Brownell, 81,
one of the fathers of reclamation
projects in Oregon, and a prominent
member of the democratic party in
the state, died here last night, at
the home of his son, Lewellyn
Brownell. He was an attorney, ranch
owner and livestock grower.
Brownell came to Oregon in 1888
after retiring from the stock busi­
ness in California. He practiced law
In Klamath Falls and Grants Pass
from 1888 to 1900 when he moved
to a Umatilla county grain ranch.
In 1901 he started campaigning
for reclamation work and personally
promoted the Brownell project and
the Umatilla project. He was inter­
ested in road work and was responsi
ble for the Wallula cut-off which is
now being put through. He was one
of the founders of the Umatilla Rap­
ids association, formed in 1916.
He retired from active ranching
in 1912 following the death of his
wife. The funeral was held today at
2:00 p. m. with interment in Port­
Heppner Defeats Locals.
At 2:00 o’clock a contest was land. Three sons and two daughters
staged between the Heppner and survive him.
