The funeral OF the late Dawes Divers,
last Saturday at Pine Grove, was fit,
ting tribute to the memory OF an old
pioneer and an aged, honored citizen.
Mr.. Divers was truly pioneer, and the
large assembly present at the funeral
services attested the fact OF the esteem
in which he was held by those who had
known him longest. Among the audl.
ence we noticed the families OF DAVID
Turner and John Hinrichs. The ser
vices were conducted by the Rev. Dill
linoer, assisted by the Rev. Frank
Spauldiny and Rev. W. G. Evans OF
Hood River, which were appropriate
and full of pathos and eloquence when
touching upon the attributes OF the de-
ceased. Such attestations are worth
more than millions when the final sep
aration takes place and we are sum
moned to try the regions of the beyond.
His former pastor, Mr.. Spaulding, re-
ioiced in the fact that he had gone TO
his rest, and truly there is not much to
live for to one who has passed the four
score mark when his life work has been
faithfully performed. Kind hands ad-
ministered to his wants during his last
days without hope Of reward, making 1t
possible for HIM to pass peacefully away
TO await the trumpets call, when the
dead shall arise.
The disastrous fire at Hood River is a
serious loss and should serve as q fit re-
minder that protection should be fur
nished in the way OF facilities for ex-
tinguishing fires.
