Mrs. Sullivan passed away Saturday afternoon at the Hermiston hospital where she had been quite ill for several days. The final rites were read by Rev. O. W. Payne and interment made in the Hermiston cemetery. Mrs. Sullivan was 66 years of age and had been in poor health since 1927, but at the time of her death it was thought that she was somewhat improved. Clara Jones was born at Highland, Wisconsin, August 8, 1867. She was the daughter of Daniel and Eli zabeth Jones and the youngest of eleven children; 8 brothers and two sisters. Of these, one sister, Mrs. William Carr ot Montford, Wiscon sin, and two brothers, Robert Jones of Milford, Iowa, and Henry Jones of Montford. Wisconsin, survive. She was married to P. P. Sulli van, January 10, 1886, and to them were born six children; one died in infancy. They lived in Highland until 1890 when they moved to Lawler, Iowa, where they resided until 1907. In the latter part of November in that same year they came west as far as Hermiston and have made their home here since that time. Besides her husband she is sur vived by two daughters and three sons, and nine grandchildren. The daughters are: Mrs. A. D. Jones of Portland and Mrs. Dave Mittlesdort of Hermiston; the sons include Le- Roy, now of Roseburg; Harold of Portland; and Herbert of Roseburg; the grandchildren are Ernestine, Bobby and Allen Sullivan; Harold Sullivan, Jr.; Maxine Sullivan; Shirley Jones; Patrick Sullivan; Da vid and Rodney Mittelsdorf. Six new students recently enrolled in the grade school. They are: Mur- ial Moore, fourth grade and Dorothy Moore, ot Columbia, sixth grade; Clarence Bowman, fourth, from Holdman; Marguerite Rainwater, sixth, Richard Rainwater, seventh, and Francis Rainwater, second, all were formerly of Ranier, Oregon. Mrs. Gerald White taught the first grade last Monday during the illness of Miss Rachel Sloan, regular instructor. The junior class entertained the assembly last Friday with a fifteen minute program. Numbers included a humorous reading entitled "O No” by Neva Richards, and two popular song hits by Billy Lindner. Considerable interest is being taken in baseball this year. Coach Cochran called a meeting of all boys interested, and 27 responded. This unusually large turnout Is partly due to the fact that there will be no district high school track meet this year. Likewise, the girls have caught the “baseball bug” and during the activity period 26 girls signed up for the game. The tennis court has been equip ped with two new note and the court cleaned and repaired by the stu dents. At present only likely candi- dates Tor the county tournament are permitted to practice during the activity period, in order that they may have every opportunity for in- struction and practice.
