in connection with others, to an eff fort 10 found in this city, Methodist educational institution. At one time a plot of ground was secured for school purposes and though the enterprise never became a permanent thing and no building was erected, they neverthe- less conducted a school in rented quar- ters for long time with this hope in view. The Los Angeles Times that ar rived yesterday speaks as follows con cernirg Rev. Frambes:
 'In the passing of Rev Oliver S. Framoes on Thurday afternoon, as an- nOunced in The Times yesterday, Los Angeles lost one of her pioneer Metho- dist preachers, and one who will go down in the history of that church as the founder of the University of South ern California.
 MT. Frambes was born in Ohio in 1880, graduating from Ohio Wesleyan University in 1858, and immediately came 10 California by way of the isth. mus, to take 2 place as professor of mathematics in the University of the Pacific. He continued in that position until 1864, when he took a similar po- sition in Portland institution and later filled the same place in William, ette University at Salem. He took his first pastorate at Fairfield in 1870, but after .. year he was again transferred to the University Of the Pacific as pro- lessor of mathematics, which position he retained until he came to Los An geles.
 ''In 1876 he and Mrs. Frambes, who was a student of the northern insti- tuition as Miss Stevens, and married MT. Frambes during his stay there, came to Los Angeles and established
 
 was conducted in a brick building on the corner of Third and Spring streets, now occupied by the Douglas building, and eventually grew into what is now the University of Southern California.
 During his residence here, MT. FrambeS became one of the charter members of the Southern California Conference, but in 1880, he was trans ferred to Phoenix, Ariz., thence to Hanford, Alila, Tempe, Traver, Reed ley, Glendale. In 1903, on account of failing health, he was superannuated by the Southern California Conference, but the following year he was given charge of the Lamanda Park church, where he continued as a regular pastor until recently, when he bought a little home at No. 3O56 East Fourth street, this city, and removed here with his wife to spend the remainder of his life
 Tt proved short indeed, and though Mir. Frambes has not been strong his death was unexpected, and resulted from cold which developed into pneu- mOnia.
 'The deceased was one of the gent lest and most lovable of men and that he was an ideal teacher is best testi- fled to by the number of his early years he gave tO that work D11rin O, all this period, while he held no pastor ate, he was nevertheless active in Christian work and was a missionary who accomplished much for his church and for Christianity in general.
 'The funeral will be held at 10: 30 this morning. at the Euclid Heights Metho- dist church. of which Rev Frederick Miller is the pastor. The sermon will be preached by Rev. pr. s. A. Thom- son, presiding elder of the Pasodena district, who was a close friend during all his residence in Arizona and Cal ifornia, ano, in whose district the de- ceased held his last charge
