(From the Malheur Enterprise.)
Ontario lost one o f its best liked
business men and Malheur county
one of its oldest residents Sunday
night at 12:30 when George Lyells
succumbed to a long illness from
diabetes. In spite of his increasing
poor health of the last year or two
friends everywhere were startled
by the sudden announcement of his
death and one of the largest crowds
inthe history of Ontario turned out
to do honor to their old friend at
his 'funeral services Tuesday after­
noon.
Mr. Lyells had been a resident of
this section of the country for 47
years and would have been 70 years
old in August. Coming to this coun­
ty from Baker he first opened him
a shop at Malheur City years ago
and later during the first days of
the present county seat ran a black­
smith shop here. From this city he
went to Ontario and has since made
that city his home.
Funeral services were held at his
home in Ontario Tuesday afternoon
