DEATH OF DAVID
SLAGLE, PIONEER


To the Editor Of The Courier:
Sir: The Grim Reaper has again
called one of the Oregon pioneers.
David Slagle died on last Wednesday
the 9th of September, at s o'clock
in the morning at his home near
Waldo. His death was caused by
complication of internal troubles re-
sulting from injuries received sew
erals years ago while mining.
David Slagle was born in Missouri
6S years ago and came with his par
ents across the plains in the year
1852 to Oregon, where they settled
near Eugene and engaged in farming.
After living a few years In Eugene
Mr.. Slagle moved TO Applegate in
Jackson county, where he engaged in
mining for a number of years, and
from whence he came to Waldo about
80 years ago, at which place he resid-
ed almost continuously up to the time
of his death. His chief occupation
dming this latter period was mining.
Mr.. Slagle leaves to mourn his de-
mise his beloved wife, Mrs Celia
Slagle, and six children, Mrs. Lula
Ritter of Medford; Mrs. Leon Courier
of Grants Pass, Charles Slagle Of
Bagley, California; Mrs. viii Win
ters, Miss Ruby Slagle, and Fred
Slagle of Waldo.
David Slagle was an exceptional
example of what has been called the
noblest work of God, an honest man.
He was remarkable for his honesty
and simplicity of character. He was
a strict observer of the principles of
right between man and man, and he
has left his children what is more
valuable than gold, the heritage of
a good example, and an unspotted
reputation. He was a sincere Chris
lian, reader of the Bible and a true
follower Of the precepts laid down
by the greatest Of 81. teachers. He
died reposirg IN the cam, Christian
confidence Of meeting his Maker and
receiving the reward of a we'll spent
and exemplary life.

At the local option election held IN
the town of Isawrencevflle Saturday
the vote was 81 for license to sell
liquor and 81 against 1t. The result
was very gratifying to the people Of the
town. The election was a quiet one
and no bad feeling was engendered.
Over twenty years ago. there were
three stores In the town and two bar
rooms. and the bar keepers agreed that
they would not make application for
license again If the privilege WAS not
granted to others and from that day
to this there has been no liquor sold in
the town, and there has been no license
granted for the sale of liquor In the
county OF Brunswick for a number OF
years.
In 1889. the town of Lawrencevilie,
which is the county seat of Brunswick
