The Vancouver independent. (Vancouver, W.T. [Wash.]) 1875-1910, 1877-03-02
Died..


At st. Helens, Oregon February 23d, 1877,
Mrs. Mahala Mcbride, aged IS years
Mrs. Mcbride was the wife Of the
late DIR. James Mcbride, who died
about fourteen months ago. She was
one of the pioneer women Of Oregon,
having immigrated to the State with
her husband in the year 1S47, where
she has ever since resided. She was
the mother of fourteen children, thir-
teen of whom are now living and are
honored members of society in the
communities where they live. Mrs.
Mcbride was woman of more than
ordinary intellectual ability, not
snowy or pretentious, but plain and
matter-of-fact, and a great lover of
simplicity and truth. She was MEM
Der of the Christian Church, and all
her life was faithful co-worker with
her husband in the cause Of Christian
ity. In the early days Of Oregon,
when church facilities were few, her
house was, Sunday after Sunday,
thrown open for the neighborhood to
gather in and hear the earnest rea-
soning of righteousness, temper
ance and judgment to come-so
often spoken by that earnest minis
ter, her husband. Her hands were
ever ready to assist in all good works,
and her generous hospitality in those
days of primitive living will always
be gratefully remembered by her
neighbors and friends. For many
years she had been an invalid, but
bore her suiferings with Christian
patience, indicative of firm and
abiding faith in the over ruling prov
| idence of God and the final triumph
of the good. In her last hours she
was conscious of the near approach
of death, and after speaking words of
advice and cheer to her weeping fam
lily, she babe them farewell and passed
peacefully away. She was buried
last Saturday by the side of her faith
full husband, in the cemetery at Ger
many Hill, and large number of re-
,ations and friends followed her to
the grave. The funeral services were
conducted by Rev. l.. l.. Rowland, OF
| Salem. an old friend of the family.
In his discourse he paid just and
| beautiful tribute to the memory OF
| the derarted mother, selecting as his
texts the blessed promises of Reve-
lation.-.'I am Alpha and Omega, the
beginning and the end, the first and
the last. Blessed are they that do
His commandments, that they may
have right to the tree of life, and may
enter in through the gates into the
city. Rev. XXII, 1914. "Him that
overcometh, will | make pillar in
the temple of my God, and he shall
90 no more out."-Rev. III, II.

AN UNGRATEFuL LOVER.

Samuel Reeves q carpenter by trade. was in
the Police Court yesterday to answer the
charge of stealing a rockctrulc from an old
white.haircd gentleman named Mr.. Charles
Gordon, from his residence, No. 17lS street
northwest, on the 9th instant. Reeves is
quite young man, with black hair, which he
parts IN the middle, and he has the appear
ance nf being quite u dandy. lIO has been in
the habit or visiting u female employee Of Mr..
GordOns family for two ycors past, whose
name is Sarah Ncary. On the date mentioned
he visited her, and saw the rule in work
basket, and saying 10 Sarah, according to her
testimony, that IL would be Of service to him
in his business, he put 1t in his pocket and
walked on. As Sarah was also charged with
larceny, the Judge did not think the evidence
sufficient to hold him and dismissed tho case.
The evidence Of the girl also showed that hc
had visited the house at late hours, and, be-
cause she would not let him in, broke the
windows and entered the house.
Not long since Reeves assaulted this woman,
and was arrested by an officer Of the Fourth
precinct hut the girl, in the goodness of her
heart, refused to prosecute him, and yesterday
| IN return for her kindness and affection toward
him, he appeared iu the court willing wit
ness against her, aud made 4 statement that
she took the rule and gave II TO him, saying
that II would be Of service TO him in his husl
moss. Tho girl was next arraigned OH tn,
charge Of the Larceny Of two chain bracelets
two diamond rings, ladies gold hunting cast
watch aud chain aud q Roman gold brooch
valued in all at 500, to which charge sh'
pleaded guilty, aud in default of 500 bail wa
committed to Jail for the action Of the gran,
jury. From what could be learned from
others, 1t seems that the girl took the jcwclr,
at the instigation of Reeves, and that he ha
been pcrsuading her to give him nearly all o
her earnings, in order to keep him in goot
