Mrs. J. NJ. p. snyder until IS months
since, when she came to Pendleton
to reside with Mrs. Fee. Through
her long residence in Oregon and

wide acquaintance and was beloved
by a large circle of friends. At one
time she was owner OF large real es-

FOR JOINT MONUMENT
George Hartman Calls Meeting of the
Spanish-American War Veterans
for Saturday Evening to Consider
the Matter-Win Cooperate With
G. A. II. and Indian War Survivors.

For the purpose of cooperating
with the members of the G. A r., the
Indian War veterans and the Pioneers
in the matter of raising money with
which to erect monument to Pen
| dleton's departed soldiers and pio-
neers, the local Spanish American war
veterans will meet Saturday evening.
George Hartman, jr, former first
lieutenant of the Second Oregon, has
issued a call for all veterans of '9S
to gather at the firemans room in the
city hall at s O'Clock Saturday even
ing.
Up to this time the local members
of the G. A. r. have been acting alone
in the matter of working for the mon
ument ]. f. Carroll, adjutant of Kit
Carson post, has been circulating a
subscription list and has already Sc
cured a considerable sum towards the
fund.
Upon the petition now being circu-
lated by Mr.. Carroll it is stated that
the sum of $500 is desired to erect
monument to be dedicated to the
soldiers of the civil war, the soldiers
of the Spanish-American war, old In
dian fighters and pioneers.
However, up to this time the paper
has been circulated individually by
Mr.. Carroll. At the meeting of the
Spanish-American war veterans it is
probable that some efforts will be
made towards enlisting the support Of
the entire town in the movement and
a more complete organization may be
formed.
