Died Thursday Evening.

Late Thursday evening the
news of the death of James IRWIN
reached Corvallis. That it was
shock to many friends goes with
out saying, as he was in town the
week before and paid his taxes.
When in to pay bis taxes he ap-
peared to be in unusually good
health.
On the Monday before his
death he was taken i'll and Dr.,
Bennett was sent sor on Wednes-
day. The physician ascribed his
suffering to neuralgia, as the re-
suit of exposure. Shortly after
the physician had departed Mr..
Irwin became the victim of an
awful attack of stomach pains
and a messenger was sent to
overtake the doctor.
Despite all efforts Mr.. Irwin
grew gradually worse and his sui
fering was most severe. About
six o'clock Thursday evening
death came and with it all earth
ly troubles ceased.
James Irwin was born on the
farm on which he died, and the
little log cabin in which he was
born is still standing. He was
the son of Mr.. and Mrs. Richard
Irwin and his mother and brother,
Richard, still survive him. His
death was caused by diabetes.
James was well known through
out the county; not alone was he
we'll known, but he was well
liked by all who had the pleasure
of his acquaintance. During his
81 years he had always remained
on the old homestead which his
father had acquired in 1851 fol
$50. This place is situated abou
TO or re miles south of this city
and is one of Benton's fines
farms. IL
The funeral occurred at 2 p
NJ, Saturday, and interment wa
made in the family cemetery OF
the homestead.
