PIONEER AND INDIAN WAR VET.
ERAN SUDDENLY CALLED.

The citizens of Grangeville were
greatly shocked to learn Sunday af-
ternoon that Frank ID. Vansise, one of
our highly respected pioneer citizens,
had been called over the great divide
almost without moments warming.
Mr.. Vansise had been on the streets
the day before in apparent good health.
He was man of strong physique,
who appeared immune to all common
ailments, and was never known to com
plain of feeling badly. While 50 years
of age he was constant and un-
firing worker and could turn off as
much carpentry, which was his life
occupation, as any Of the younger
men. He had passed in and out in
the business life of this community

two other men and having several of
their number wounded The horse
which Mr.. Vansise was riding was shot
from under him in the battle and his
neighbor Henry Johnson rode to his
rescue and took him up behind him ON
his horse. This was making history
OF which the participants and those
Following should be proud; this was
clearing the way for the present day
civilization and comforts OF which we
are all the direct beneficiaries and are
at present fully enjoying. But a few
days ago In speaking of the new pen
sion law passed for Indian war vet
Grams, Mr.. Vansise said to the writer :

they can only get rid OF the red tape.

get some benefit yet. Well If we do
not get 1t some Of our folks will" How
little either of the participants In that
conversation realized how near at
hand the call was for one OF them. 1t
Is real blessing that this "call," to
which we all must ultimately answer.
is among the hidden things.
Frank Vansise was born In Huron
county, Ohio. January 20, 1S4S and at
the time of his death was 90 years and
two months old. At the age OF twenty
he came west with his family to Ore
gon and in 1871 settled In this COM

of that order, OF which deceased was
an active member. The funeral SER
