Klamath Basin Pioneers'
Ranks Thinned During 7946
Once again it is the sad task
to bid a farewell to many Klam
ath county pioneers, men and
women who added with the rich
ness of their lives to the growth
and life of the community. The

timers and they will be missed
from the scene where many had
spent their entire lifetime.
Through the courtesy of Whit
lock's aud Wards, The Herald

who passed during the year and
it is with regret that space does
not give us the opportunity to
review their lives once more.
