ia 1891. The year following hls mar
riage he began teaching and has been
engaged in this profession for the past
l9 years. He came to Oregon IN 1911,
having been elected principal Of Odell
school for the school year 1914. He
was a faithful and consistent member
Of the Presbyterian church and those
who knew him best are agreed that
rarely have children such splendid ex-
ample and pTecept in the home ana
public life OF a parent as was the prlvi-
iege Of this family. lie was Christian
southern gentleman with all that title
implies, gentle, courteous, refined, yet
firm as adamant IN his conceptions OF
right living and those whose lives he
has touched have been enriched through 1
having known him. For two weeks /
before last Christmas day Mr.. Black /
complained Of a slight headeache which |
increased in severity until early IN
Jsnuary, when be suddenly sank into a
stupor and continued thus until January
25, when with is family around him he
passed peacefully away at Trout Lake,
Wash. where he and his family resided |
while Mr.. Black was engaged for the
uresept school year. While suffering |
intensely in delrum he said, "Oh,
am so tired of fighting the French and
Germans, f" and his son, Donald, reach
ing down said, 81 know, father, lets
not fight, let's 60 to sleep" Mr.. Black
answered, "All right, son, but cannot
20 to sleep until have first said my
prayers" and then in clear, STEADY
voice faultlessly and unhesitatingly he
repeated the Lords Prayer entirely
through. For the wife, two daughters,
three sons and other relatives who sur
vive we extend heartfelt sympathy IN
these their days of sorrow. Funeral
services we're held at the Trout Lake
home and then there was the long drive
to White Salmon, Wash. and from
there by train TO Lyle where they lald
their loved one to rest.

At the special school meeting held on !
Wednesday of last week week with the ) )
school district we'll represented by vot-
ers, both propositions carried, viz, a
new school house near Summit and
play shelter on the present school
grounds. The school house is the logi-
cal outcome. AS land farther removed S
from the present school house is devel- \
oped the distance becomes too great
and in asking that this school house be h
built these taxpayers have asked only n
what is justly theirs. The play shelter,
too, will we believe, prove a paying :.
proposition in prevention of much III
health that results from too little out
door exercise or an almost constant v
damp condition of clothing that is n
consequence of remaining where rain or a
mist may fall upon pupils. We can say
we are heartily glad that the school d
children of 0dell are to enjoy both
these improvements. u

failure as surprise. Mrs. Bowerman
