Leader Toledo, OR April 28, 1916 From: Chewanean Press, Paisley, Lake Co., OR DR. SHELDON S. THAYER An hour of gloom has come upon all the citizens of our community. (Paisley) A loved and honored member has been rudely called away by the silent finisher of our earthly destinies. Dr. Sheldon S. Thayer died at 2:30 o'clock last Saturday afternoon at his home in Paisley. While it has been known for some time that he was gradually sinking, it did not in any degree lessen the tragedy of his demise. About two months ago, Dr. Thayer and family left for The Dalles, Oregon, where they were joined by several of their relatives. While at The Dalles, Mrs. Thayer underwent a serious operation and after seeing her safely through the operation and nicely started on the road to recovery, the Doctor and balance of the party returned to Paisley expecting Mrs. Thayer to follow in a short time. Apparently the trip caused too much exertion for Dr. Thayer, who drove the car; as he was seized with a hemmorhage immediately after his arrival in Paisley. The attack seized him when he stepped from the car at the end of the trip. That was just three weeks before his death. Dr. Ballard of Lakeview was summoned that night and after his return to Lakeview Dr. Thom of Silver Lake attended the stricken man. He remained until Dr. Fred Thayer of Medford came to take charge of his brother. Later, Dr. Smith of Lakeview was also called in consultation. Everything possible was done to prolong t! he Doctor's life but he suffered hemmorhages continually and grew gradually weaker until the end. In the meantime, his wife was in the hospital at The Dalles unable to return home and it was finally decided best that their son, Zadock, and his aunt, Mrs. Gildersleeve, go to The Dalles to take care of Mrs. Thayer. It was thus, with the family divided and no one at his bedside but his brother and little girls that Dr. Thayer breathed his last. The sad features of this case have touched a responding chord in everyone's heart and the bereaved family will find a united community holding out a helping hand to them. Dr. Thayer always took an active interest in every progressive movement looking to the welfare of our community. He was a member of the City Council, a member of the School Board and Vice-President of the Paisley Commercial Club. In his various official positions and as a private citizen, he could always be found upon the right side of every question which came up for consideration. His influence was always on the side of morality and sobriety, and to these ends he worked unceasingly. Being a man of this character, he was able to wield a large influence for good, an influence which will be felt for many years in our community. Especially will this be true with our boys and girls for in them he took more than a special interest. Their devotion to him was shown in a touching manner at the funeral when the Boy Scouts marched with the lodges with conducted the services. The funeral was held Saturday afternoon, and was conducted by the Woodmen of the World and the Women of Woodcraft, of which lodges the deceased was a member. Services were first held at the Methodist Church where Rev. Hawthorne preached a very fitting sermon. The services at the services at the grave were conducted entirely by the lodges. Sheldon S. Thayer was born in Nodaway county, Missouri, December 25, 1874, and was 41 years, three months and 21 days old at the time of his death. He had an excellent education, being a graduate of the State Normal School at Salina, Kansas, a graduate of the University of Oregon of Medicine at Portland, and a post-graduate of the Kentucky School of Medicine at Louisville, Kentucky. He was registered as a physician in four states: Oregon, California, Washington and Colorado. On September 15, 1901, he was married to Effie Crosno at Toledo, Oregon, the family home of his wife. He is survived by three children and four brothers. The actual cause of death was pneumonia with a complication of pulmonary tuberculosis, from which he suffered for some ten years past.
