Obituary next week. --------------------------------- The Hood River Glacier, Hood River, OR., January 14, 1904, page 3 Includes portrait CAME TO HOOD RIVER IN 1875 Alfred A. Ingalls, who died January 3, 1904, was a highly respected citizen and an early pioneer of Hood River valley. Mr. Ingalls had been a sufferer for a year or more with cancer of the face. In the death of Mr. Ingalls, this community has lost one of its sterling citizens, who was at all times ready and willing to assist his friends, and who always stood in the front rank in all matters pertaining to the good of the community. He was a loyal husband, a kind and indulgent father, a faithful and conscientious Christian, beloved by all who knew him, and one whose loss will be deeply felt by the people of the Barrett district. The bereaved family have the heart felt sympathy of the sorrowing community, and may He, who is death’s conqueror, sustain and comfort the family in this their great time of affliction. Alfred Ingalls was born in Wayne county, New York, April 18, 1837. At the age of five years he was taken by his parents to Tioga county, Penn., where in 1862 he was married to Miss Anna Townsberry. In 1875 he moved to Hood River, coming with the Parkhurst colony in that year, and has resided here ever since. Of 10 children born to Mr. and Mrs. Ingalls, but four survive to mourn with the mother in their sad bereavement. The sons, James and Fred living in Barrett district, while the daughters, Mrs. Perry McCrory and Mrs. Fred Howe, live at Hood River. Mr. Ingalls united with the Valley Christian church in April, 1886, and has been a consistent and forceful member of that organization. He was a member of the Odd Fellows, but has not affiliated with the order at Hood River. He was taken sick March 1, 1903, and since then has suffered terribly until at last death came to his relief. Blessed are those who die in the Lord. Requiescaten pace. W.R.H. This was posted for reference only. I am not related to, nor am I researching this family.
