DEATH OF AN OcToGENARIAN.-
Last Monday evening Mr.. Jacob Nye,
sem, died at his residence, in Sweet
Home Precinct, this county, aged about
SO years. He was buried ON Wednes-
day by Lebanon Lodge No. A, A. F. &
A. NJ, of which he was q charter mem
ber. Goodly delegations of the Graft
from Brownsville and Albany were al
so in attendance. Our aged Brother
was perhaps the oldest Mason in Ore
gon, having been mlde such when he
was only q years of age. He was born
in Vermillion county, Pennsylvania,
Nov. %, 1893, and has during his life
been pioneer of three States. While
yet young man he emigrated to Iowa
when that State was yetan unclvilized
Indian Territory. Remaining there
until too closely pressed by the advanc-
ing tide of civilization and progress,
he emigrated to Oregon in 1850, and
took up his donation claim on the
Santiam, II miles above Lebanon,
where for u quarter Of II century he has
resided and where his ashes are now
laid to rest beside those of his wife,
who was the faithful companion
of his life and who only preceded him
to the Better Land by couple of
years.
Our aged Brother was "a good man
and true never forgetting in his ripper
years those impressive lessons of Broth
erly Love, Relief and Truth which in
his early manhood he learned at the
sacred altar of Masonry; and while his
body is consigned to the tomb and his
spirit commended to the God who gave
it, his memory viii long be cherished
in the faithful breasts of his mourning
Brethren. Peace be with him!

he can possibly turn out.
We also went through MetzleTs raw

stantial and enduring chairs mad'
anywhere, and their excellence has es
tabHshcd for them a reputation whicl
