Redwood is suffering from severe
drouth. Not only is good drinking
water rarity but on account of the
scarcity of water the paper mill, the
lumber mill and both the clothes pin
and tray factories have closed down.
1t is said that local industries will not
resume operation until rains come to
raise the waters.
AS direct cause of the prolonged
drouth, this little city, now an arid
one, has more unemployed people
than ever before in its history.

PIONEER cIrIzEN PASSES AWAY

Gideon Draper Camden Corley
commonly known as Squire" Corley,
died very suddenly Monday afternoon
September 7th, 3ar hl5 home in
Valley District. He was living with
his daughter, Mrs Charles D. Talbot.
He had been in EIlzins for a few days
until Sunday, then went to Weaver
Sunday evening, and started back
home, afoot stopped at Junior, took
the train for Laurel ate dinner at
Abraham Skidmore's and in the after
noon started on his last trail home
ward, and just as he got in sight
and those at his home saw him COM
ate some and then sat down under
the shade of tree apparently to
rest, when he threw up his arms,
that caused those at the house to run
to him who found him in dying
condition. Before he could be taken
to the house, life ebbed away and he
WAS no more.
Thus ended the life of one of the
older pioneers of this section-he was
born on Beaver Creek, April 16, 1910,
being IS years a months and % days
old.
He was the son of Noah E. Corley
and Louisa WILSON, Corley, and a
brother Of William Jackson, August
inc Smith, Henry, Winfield Scott,
Ellen, Sarah Elizabeth, Martha Jane,
Eliza and Katherine Columbia; Henry
Corley now residing at Parkersburg
is the only survivor.
His father, Noah E. Corley, was a
Union soldier in the Civil War. He
was taken prisoner and imprisoned in
Georgia, was exchanged at the end
of the war, and was sent to Anna
polls Maryland, but died there in a
weakened condition due to lack Of
food while in prison.
Camden, the subject of this sketch
was married to Lydia Thorn on De-
cember 9, 1866, whose death occurred
about eighteen year sage To this
union were born four girls and tw)
boys of which three girls nor sur
vive: Mrs. A. G. Schoonover, Mrs
George Skidmore and Mrs. Charles d.
Talbot.
He held the distinction of being in
the National Convention that nomi-
mated Abraham Lincoln for president
and talked and conversed with the
War President many times. He was
