Deaf HCALLED AGED
CITIZEN LAST FRIDAY

Mrs. Elizabeth N. Anderson, wild
ow of the late L. X. Anderson, was
released from her sufferings at six
o'clock Friday afternoon, January Z.
Mrs. Anderson elizabeth Myer)
was born near Wellsville, Ohio, on
October 80, 1881. When ten years
of age, her parents removed to Iowa,
residing there until the spring of
1853, when her father and mother,
together with her two brothers, W..
c. Myer and b. Frank Myer, her sis
ters, Temperance (later Mrs. Fow-
ler). Mary Ann (afterward Mrs. J..
P. Walker), and Sarah (later Mrs.
A. G. Rockfellow) and the Walker
brothers, Enoch, Minus and John, and
others started for Oregon Nearly
all of the wagons were drawn by
oxen, although Elizabeth drove a
fine team of black horses belonging
to Mrs. W. C. Myer.
II took courage and tact to drive
over an almost trackless country
with its rivers to ford, its mountains
to climb and the steep grades to de-
scend In safety. Besides, there were
numerous other hardships of deserts,
Indians and cholera.

of people under the familiar title OF
Uncle Joe," as a man of sterling
qualities.
Immediately after their marriage
they went to the Anderson farm, -
near the present town of Talent,
where they resided until the fall of
1909, Here they experienced the
joys and hardships of pioneer farm
life. Here their children were born
and grew to manhood and woman
hood. 1t would seem that here Mrs.
Anderson would have found more
than any one could do in caring for
her own house and family, but her
loving mother heart went out to at
least three orphaned children who
gladly accepted her generous and
kindly invitation to make their home
with her.
In June, 1904, Mr.. Anderson pur-
chased the present home on East
Main street, where he died March 13,
1912. There were born to Mr.. and
Mrs. Anderson large family. Laura
V. Steele, Minnie A. Toleman, deceas-
ed, George N. Anderson, Lena A.
Phillips, Elmer E. Anderson, deceas-
ed, A. Belle Anderson, Dora A..
Wight and Sarah A. Burrell, deceas-
ed; also eight grandchildren, to evil
dence the worth of true, loving, un-
selfish, devoted mothers care and
inspiration.
For more than twenty years Mrs.
Anderson had been an invalid from
unable to walk for sew
eral years, and using a wheeled chair
or bed; and although suffering great
ly at times, no word of impatience
or complaining escaped her lips; al
ways ready to greet her friends and
acquaintances with smile and
CHEEKY words.
Early in life she sought and found
the Friend above all Others" ac-
cepting him as her Lord and Master.
Many years ago she became men,
ber of the Methodist church in whose
faith she died. Long will she be re-
membered by her friends and neigh
bors who are saying: "a good wo-
man has gone to her home over
there;'" BLESSED are the dead who
die in the Lord"
The funeral will be held Monday
afternoon at 2 O'Clock, from the late
residence, 344 East Main street, and
burial will be made in the Ashland
cemetery.

New Year's Surprise.


In addition to visiting their rela-
tives in Ashland last week, Mr.. and
Mrs. o. H. Barnhill were entertained
by the C. F. Tiltons, Eric Werens,
Homer Billings, Harry Silvers and
H. II. Elharts. The latter invited
Ross Eliason, Eric Weren and their
wives to spend New Years Eve with
them and the Barnhills. Being very
busy invoicing, the Elharts did not
return from the store until s o'clock,
when they were greatly and agree
ably surprised to find that their six
guests had broken into their pretty
home on Mob Hill street, with well
filled baskets and had prepared a
sumptous repast, which was all ready
for serving.
After eating, drinking and max
ing merry with music and speech,
the double quartet draped themselves
comfortably in front of the fire
place, popping corn and toasting
marshmallows until bells and whis-
ties announced the birth of a new
year The visitors fingered an hour
or so longer, being loath to leave
such pleasant place. About l
O'Clock ice cream and cake was SER
we'd. The out-of-town guests, from
Corvallis and Canada, especially en-
joyed the evening, the Barnhills re-
naming as guests until the follow
ing forenoon. 1t seems only fair to
the feminine members of the party
that their names should be given,
since they used to be four of the
most popular girls in Ashland-and
are yet, for that matter-Ellen

Cherry and Maple Payne.
