Death of David Carstairs.

II
Satsop Valley farmer, peacefully pass.
ed away at his home, Mason postoffice,
Monday morning, April 20, 1896, the
victim of cancer. The seed of the
destroyer was noticed on his lower lip
before the family left Scotland eleven
years ago, but no thought was given
it until about four years ago, when it
began to grow and its nature was de-
termined. The sturdy old gentleman,
having in mind the fate of others. re-
fused to have the cancer cut out, and
except for outside applications, would
allow of no other treatment. For the
past year his days were numbered, and
in October last took to his bed, and
gradually grew weaker until the end
came. Of late part of his lower jaw
had sloughed away, and his food, con-
sistirg of liquids was taken through a
tube. He was able to talk quite well
until recently, and retained his con-
sciousness to the last. Everything
possible was done by the family to
make his sickness as painless as pos
sible, and they were forced to look on
during the passing weeks and see the
husband and father battling hopeless
ly against the cancerous foe. If Mr..
Carstairs had submitted to the sur
geon's knife, his life might have been
spared many years, as he was type
of vigorous and sturdy manhood.
David Carstairs was born in Perth
shire, Scotland, Aug. 10, 1882, and was
81 years old. He came to Washington
in 1885 with his family, and settled on
a tract of fine lands known as the
"Dry-beds'' in the Satsop Valley, where
his son Joseph, who had preceded the
family by several years, had selected
the home place. After ten years of
labor the thrifty family have two of
the largest and best farms in the fam
Gus Satsop Valley. comfortable houses
and we'll stocked barns. Their hold
ings include about 400 acres of land,
fully 100 under cultivation and as
much more in pasture for their cattle,
sheep and goats. The cares of the
home and farm now devolve on the
younger shoulders and the kindly and
thrifty couple had reached the period
when their declining years might be
spent in easier lines, as far as their
active natures would permit David
Carstairs brought to the western
country his habits of thrift, weekday
work and Sunday rest, Christian OBJ
servance and sterling integrity, that
are none the less refreshing they
are termed "o1d-fashioned,' and might
well be taken as examples to follow.
The deceased leaves an aged wife,
Isabelle Carstairs; sons John, in Tex
as; David, in Arizona; Joseph and
James in Mason County, as we'll as
daughters, Mrs. Nellie Forrest. Misses
Kate, Jean, Isabelle and Mrs. Miriam
Brown
The funeral services were held at
the farm house Thursday morning,
conducted by Rev. F. H Webster, and
all the farmers in the valley were
present to pay their last respects. The
remains were bro ught to Shelton in
the afternoon, and inferred in the
family lot in the Odd Fellows ceme-
terry, where the brief services were at
tended by number of friends of the
family in town.
