His whole makeup combined those unselfish, sterling qualities that united him closely to the hearts of his friends and acquaintances and commanded universal respect. He won a warm corner in the hearts of the people of southern Oregon. Mr. Houck leaves to mourn his loss his wife, Katherlne Houck, and his wife's mother, Mrs. R. L.
