She then joined the Christian Church, of which she was a member at the time of her death. Sister Flint was an earnest Christian, always exemplifying the religion of the Lord Jesus Christ. She was a member of the first choir in Albany, and very prominent in all church work. She was an unselfish woman, always devoted to the welfare of others. During her last sickness she was patient, not a complaint escaped her lips. The writer often called during her sickness and always found her fully trusting in her Saviour. She said, not many days ago, that it seemed hard to leave her pleasant home, but she would be willing to do whatever the Master thought best. The short time she was with us we have all learned to love her. The church will miss her for she was a regular attendant. Brother Flint has surely the sympathy of the entire community and our prayers will follow him in his lonely hours. H.A.R. Her funeral was largely attended by her sorrowing relatives and friends, after which she was laid to rest in our beautiful cemetery. The funeral services were conducted by the Rev. H.A.Rogers, of the M.E. Church, in a comforting sermon, with beautiful song service by the choir.

Sister Maynard some years ago joined the M.E. Church, of which she remained a faithful member until her death. Deceased was a woman somewhat retiring in her disposition--a home body, yet always faithful of others; and while others wrought in a more public way whe toiled on in her quiet manner through the years to the last. Hers was a Christian life, not so much of the sensational though none the less sincere and earnest. As long as she could she attended church regularly. No pastor ever failed to find a friend in Sister Maynard. A devoted wife, an indulgent mother, the family held a sacred place in her heart, and for their interest and welfare her plans were ever made; even during her protracted illness, when her failing strength made her life a burden, she was ever thinking of her dear ones. Grandchildren will cherish her memonry as they recall the family gathering and the well laden Christmas tree. She suffered patiently during the two years of her sickness. May 12th she said goodnight on earth and good morning in heaven. C.C.S.

He was married Dec. 5, 1888 to Gertie Partridge, and for the past six years they have lived in Albany. 5 1/2 years ago he entered the employ of Messrs. Van Patten and Turner, in which he continued until his death. About 6 years ago, together with his wife, he united with the Baptist Church in Albany, and the walk was that of a quiet, consistent Christina. He was faithful in all the relations of life and will be missed not only by his employees and those who had dealings with him in the way of business, but by the large circle of friends and relatives, and most of all by his devoted wife, who by his death is indeed bereaved. The most of his life was lived with the knowledge that that fell disease, consumption, had marked him for its own. With characteristic energy he fought it off as long as he was able, but finally took to his bed, just four weeks before the day of his burial. All was done for him that love or care or thoughtfulness could suggest, but it was all in vain, and on the morning of Feb. 12, 1896, he peacefully entered into rest. His mother was permitted to assist in ministering to his wants, coming from her distant western home for that purpose. A large throng attended the funeral services, after which his body was laid in our beautiful cemetery to await the resurrection of the just.

She was born in Hamilton County Ohio on May 3, 1818. While yet a girl, her parents moved to Warren Co., Indiana where she was married to Mr. Zook on August 9, 1838. In 1844 she and her husband came to Wisconsin, settling near Spring Grove, Green Counlty, until April, 1849, when they purchased land and made their home where most of their married life was spent, near Story, in this county. Feeling that the days of hard toil were over, in 1885 they rented the farm and made their home in Oregon, where they have lived ever since. Their family comprised 15 children, five of whom preceded their mother to the better land. All the living children were at the funeral except John, of Earlville, S.D., Jasper of Newton, Wisc., and Mrs. Keeler of Minneapolis. 12 grandchildren were also present. Mother Zook was known by all to be a faithful friend and counselor. As a companion and mother her light shone brightest to the world. Here an affectionate counselor and painstaking guardian of the trust God had committed to her, she wrought out her life's work. "her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also and praiseth her". Added to the above distinction and permeating every trait that made it so grandly possible, was the fact of her devotion to God. For 58 years she identified Jesus Christ and his people as her people. With such a life we look for nothing else but a victorious death. In this there was no disappointment. Feeble in body after suffering for 10 weeks, God saw fit to call her home. In her last talk to her pastor who had been away to conference she said "I thought I would be borne before I saw you again". To her daughter Alice she spoke familiarly of her brother in law, Rev. Samuel Zook, greeting her in heaven. She left a message with each of her absent children to meet her in heaven. Shortly after this she went to sleep to awake in heaven. Her pastor, Rev. E.F. Marcellus, conducted the funeral service at her home in the presence of a large concourse of friends. Her body rests in the Story cemetery with three of her children---Oregon Observer, Setp. 29 The subject of the above sketch was the mother of Mrs. Alber Piller of this city.

Mrs. Wood was born in the state of New York May 7, 1830. She came west in 1854, settling in Green County, which has since been her home. She was first married to John Bell, which union was blessed with two children, Mrs. Thomas Mack and Miss Lockie Bell, who survive her. She was afterward married to John Wood, in 1867, who died several years ago. Mrs. Wood's illness was of short duration, when the death messenger released her from her suffering. Thus a kind and loving mother and valued neighbor has passed away. The afflicted relatives who mourn her departure have the deep sympathy of all in their sorrow. A brief services was held at her late residence on Saturday, conducted by the Rev. H. A. Rogers, and the remains were interred in the cemetery at the Gap Church. Owing to the serious illness of Miss Lockie Bell it was deemed inadvisable to hold a public service and an appropriate sermon will be preached later, of which due notice will be given.
