Died in Distant Oregon

Wilson Flaval Jewett late president
of the Gardiner Mill Company, died al
the family home in Gardiner, Oregon
on the evening of October 9th, 1914
Mr.. Jewett was born in Sangerville
Maine, June 14th. 1852, and was a son
of Walter G. and Flavilla Jewett, both
of whom were members of old New
England families that came of English
ancestry and were numbered among
the early colonial settlers.
Wilson F. Jewett acquired his early
education in the Eaton boarding school
tered the Episcopal Academy at
Cheshier, Connecticut, one of the old
schools of New England, established
about 1910. He afterwards became a
student in the Eastman Business Col
lege at Poughkeepsie, New York. from
which he was graduated in 1872. The
following spring he came to Coos Ray,
Oregon, and was employed as clerk N
the store of E. B. Dean & Co, at
Marshfield. He remained with that
firm for five years and in the mean
time was advanced to the position OF
manager of their mercantile interests.
In 1873 he became associated with the
lumber firm of G. S. Hinsdale & Co. at
Gardiner, and purchased an interest in
the business, after which he was plac-
ed in charge of their San Francisco
office. There he remained for three
years and in 1880 came to Gardiner
where he has since made his home.
He became one of the dominant fac
tors in the organization of the Gar
diner Mill Company, which absorbed
the properties of the G. S. Hinsdale
Mill Co, and subsequently purchased
the mill of A. NJ. Simpson
In 1885 occurred the marriage of
Mr.. Jewett and Miss Mary Hughs of
San Francisco. California, and unto
them were born four children, of whom
two are living, Wilson H. and Narcissa.
Besides his son and daughter Mr..
Jewett is survived by his wife and two
grandchildren and one sister Mrs.
