T. T. Taylor
Orchardist Meets Death By Accident
T. T. Taylor Killed Monday At Mill East Of Riverside
T. T. Taylor, local orchardist, met with a fatal accident at the Cubbage sawmill east of Riverside Monday afternoon while hauling lumber out to a point where it could be brot to town by an auto truck.
Having only a short distance to with his load, Mr. Taylor evidently thot it unnecessary to bind the lumber to the wagon and in going down a steep incline the load slipped forward onto the horses throwin Mr. Taylor to the ground.
One leg was fractured and internal injuries were sustained of a fatal nature. Messrs Jesse Yowell and Perry Saddler rushed the injured man to the home of Dr. L. Q. Spaulding as rapidly as possible and in a desparate effort to save the fast ebbing life the doctor took the patient to the nearest hospital at Riverside and called Dr. H. M. Fryer in consultation, but very little could be done and life passed from the body very soon after the arrival at the hospital.

Alice Teegarden
Methow, March 29 - Death, the grim destroyer, has again been in our midst and cast a pall of gloom upon this community. Alice Teegarden, the four-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Teegarden, died at Pateros Sunday morning at 11 o'clock. The cause of her death is believed to have been indigestion. The child had been ailing for some little time but her condition was not believed to be serious until Saturday morning when she was taken to Pateros for medical aid. A hard fight was made by Dr. E. E. Hardy for the little ones life and for a time hopes were entertained for her recovery, but Saturday afternoon she became unconscious until death claimed her Sunday morning.
Little Alice was a remarkably bright child and her sunny disposition made her a general favorite with all who knew her. Mr. and Mrs. Teegarden and family have the profound sympathy of the whole community in their great bereavement.
Funeral services held from the family home Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, and interment in the Methow Cemetery.

Glenn Thayer
The body of Glenn Thayer of Brewster, who lost his life at Pateros dam during high water, was recovered Thursday in a good state of preservation and was buried at Pateros Friday with Military honors under the auspices of the Brewster post of the American Legion.
Reports have been published that the body had been lodged at the dam and was loosened by dynamite. T. Raymond Enloe, vice president of the Okanogan Valley Power Company, scouts that version stating that the dynamiting done by the company was not at the dam but up on a side hill. His theory is that the body floated down the Methow until it struck the backwater of the Columbia, which during high water extended some distance up the Methow river, and there lodged against some brush, perhaps partially held by accumulating gravel, and became loosened as the water receded.
Some boys swimming in the Methow discovered the body floating down but could not reach it. The body was recovered by the father of the victim on the Douglas county side of the Columbia.
Both jaws of the victim were broken, indicating that he had been struck and swept off the dam by a cable.

Donald Therin
Donald Therin Dead.
The death of Donald Therin occurred at Riverside on Sunday, May 24, the funeral taking place the next day. A daughter, Mrs. Combs of Oregon, and his son Richard of this place were the only relatives present. Deceased had been ailing more or less for the last year, and when death came was in unfortunate circumstances. Hub Carlton raised a purse of $20 from the Odd Fellows, and substantial aid was also rendered by Chris Pein. Richard Therin has also been unfortunate the past season. During the last winter he met with a severe accident which put him in the hospital for a time and left him unable to work for a still longer period. The kindness of his neighbors at this trying time is keenly appreciated both by himself and sister.

Newton Thomas
Death Claims Newton Thomas, Old Settler
Passes Away At Colville Home.
"Newts" Many Activities Recalled by Friends--Was Picturesque Figure in Valley.
Newton Thomas, one of the earliest settlers in this portion of Washington, passed away at his home in Colville Sunday at the age of 76. Thomas was well known in Okanogan county and in various other communities throughout Washington, Oregon and Idaho, having taken an active interest in community affairs. He served in public office in this county for four years with honor, leaving behind him an enviable record.
Thomas was born on September 10, 1815, in Missouri. In 1854 the family joined a caravan of Missourians who were leaving their homes to better their condition in the then virgin west. The journey was an arduous one, taking from early spring until late summer, many hardships and dangers filling the weary months of travel. The party was in almost continual danger from roving bands of Indians on the prairies east of the Rockies, and was forced into a number of skirmishes with them. Fortunately, however, the aboriginies at no time overcame them, the caravan plodded on, every eye fixed on the golden west, every heart hoping that fit living and a greater degree of happiness would be found beyond the mountains. In Montana every horse in the party was run off by Indians.
The ox drawn wagon made almost imperceptible progress through the Rockies and the Cascades, finally arriving on the west slope of the latter range, skirting the corner of Washington, and halting in the Willamette valley in Oregon. Here the Thomas' remained for 15 years. From there a movement was made to the Whetstone valley, near Walla Walla. After a short residence there the family resided in various places, including what is now Lewiston, and several other points in Idaho.
In 1871 Thomas married Anna Montgomery at Dayton, Wash., the couple moving afterward to the present site of Spokane. Here the first white child in the city of Spokane, their son Harvey, was born on July 2, 1880.
The Thomases came to Okanogan valley in 1895. At that there was but one store at the present site of Okanogan--under the elm near the Bureau hotel. Pard Cummings, now of Riverside, operated the store.
From 1904 to 1908 Thomas held the office of sheriff in Okanogan county. To him and Judge E. K. Pendergast are largely due the credit for relentless action taken against cattle rustlers, who then infested the county. Numbers of these depreda- county.
Marc Thomas, son of the pioneer, left here Monday afternoon for Oroville, whence he will take train for Colville to attend the funeral of his father.
"Newt", as he was familiarly called by all his friends, was a sturdy character with a picturesqueness that marked him wherever he went. He was tall and slim, dressed for many years after the country had become settled, and the services of scouts were less in demand, in the garb of a frontiersman. "Newt", through his long experience in settled places, acquired a knack of turning his hand to almost anything, and doing it well. He was by turns a hunter, a scout, a freighter, and Indian fighter, and peaceful rancher. His ability as a preacher was by no means small, and his admonishing voice often was heard in the Methodist pulpits of the valley. Yet he could step from the pulpit and roll up his sleeves to do battle for his own or another's rights. He served in the Nez Perse Indian campaign in Idaho under Colonel McConville.
"Newt's" death came as a shock to many old timers and a host of others in the valley.
He is survived by his wife, who resides in Colville, and by the following sons and daughters: Mrs. Emma Carpenter of Spokane; Mrs. Olive Reynolds of Colville; Mrs. Alfa Wood of Eugene, Ore.; Harvey Thomas of New York, who is at present in South America; Marc Thomas of this city; Mrs. Belle Ludvig of Wrangle; Winnie of Colville; Cecil Thomas of Wrangle. It is probable that nearly all of these will be at hand to attend the funeral.
