His own admission to the bar was
marked by one incident which was n
classic and doubtless familiar to YOU
all. At that time the candidate was
examined in open court by commit
tee or the local bar. Brother Fields
examination was taking place in
Somerset county before Chief Justice
Peters, and the chairman of the ex-
aiming committee was the late Svl
vcster j. Walton of SkowheCan.
Partly by way of pleasantly no
doubt. he asked Brother Field if a
married woman could sue her hus-
band for personal services rendered
in the household. Brother Field
promptly replied Yes" Chief Justice
Peters in his characteristically quick
manner turned upon him and imme-
dlately asked, Can she recover ."
and Brother Field as promptly re-
Piled No Both answers were abb
solutely correct, and the Chief JUS
tice, thoroughly enjoying the situa-
ton. notified the examiner that he
thought the candidate deserved adj
mission without further questioning.
Brother Fields whole professional
life was spent in Oakland. where he
gained the respect of his fellow
townsmen and received at. their
hands their tokens of esteem. His
practice was of the less public and
conspicuous character but he was
faithful to his clients and diligent in
their behalf. No one had a higher
regard for the law and all that it
stood for than had he. Aside how
ever from his professional merits
there was something about him which
appealed to his associates and which
always made him one of the most
welcome members at all gatherings

was sincere and hearty. His quaint

love of companionship. plus an al

MRS. GILBREATH DIES
AT AGE OF 20 YEARS
Grandmother of Mrs. T.. A. Archer
Was First White Woman to Set
tie i'm Columbia County

With the death last week at Walla
! Walla of Mrs. Margaret II. Gilbreath
there passed away the first white
woman to settle in that part of Wash
ineton which now comprises Column
bia. Garfield and Walla Walla coun-
ties. Mrs. Gilbreath was the grand
mother of Mrs. f. A. Archer of Pull
man, whom she had reared from in
fancy, and in recent years had made
several visits to Pullman, where she
was known to many as Grandma"
Gilbreath, a lovable woman who
made friends easily and held them
steadfastly.
The following paragraphs concern
ing the interesting career of Grand
ma" Gilbreath are taken from the
Columbia County Dispatch, published
at Dayton, and will be of interest to
Pullman friends of the esteemed
lady:
Mrs Gilbreath, widow of Samuel
Love Gilbreath, was one of the oldest
pioneers of the Walla Walla valley.
She was born in Jacksonville, Illinois
June "a, 1914 At the age of eight
years her father. Rev. Levi flaming,
and family began the long journey
across the plains to the Willamette
valley.
That year G852) is still called the
great cholera year and more than
half the immigrants in that particu-
Ian party died of the malady, includ-
ing Mrs. Gilbreath's mother After
their marriage in 1859 Mr.. and Mrs.
Gtlbreath at once started foi Wash
ington territory, where they took up
a homestead near the present site Of
Dayton which has been the family
home ever since
Mrs. Gilbreath was the first white
woman to settle in that part of the
state which has since developed into
the counties of Columbia, Garfield
and AsOtin and her oldest child was
the first white child born in south
eastern Washington outside of Walla
Walla county as it now stands.
Their frontier home was known
far and wide as place OF refuge
for many weary travellers. Among
noted pioneers who made the Gil
breath home a stopping place were
Rev, H. H. Spaulding and Joaquin
| Miller.
The hardships Of those days re
veaIed the endurance, bravery and
staunchness Of character Of this Dio-
neer woman. There was scarcely a
birth or death occurring for miles
around but that Mr.. Gilbreath was
there with willing assistance.
At the time of her death Mrs. Gil
breath was honorary president of the
Columbia County Pioneer associa-
ton.
