and associated himself with DR.. j. r. Bay

He continued in the active practice of his
/ profession up to the time of his death, and
! was respected far and near as an eminently
skilled and honored physician. He has
filed many positions Of honor and trust
| having served as member of the Oregon
legislature, as well as mayor Of Corvallis
| and was president of the Corvallis Carriage
& Wagon Co. at the time of his demise. Ir
November, 1866, he married Miss Hattie

In October, 1876. he married Miss Minnie
Ellstop, who is left to mourn his sad loss
| He leaves mother, sister, and brother il
