George Crabtree, one of our newly acquired and respected citizens, was
stricken with apoplexy and died, almost instantly. A bullet through the
heart should not have resulted in death more quickly. Mr. Crabtree had been
in his usual good health, had gone to the pasture after his cows. After
placing the animals in the barn, he went to the house. Observing that supper
was about ready he remarked, "I will not have time to milk before
supper" and went immediately to the pump in order to wash his hands and
face. After combing his hair, he started from the kitchen to the dining
room. Just as he entered the doorway, he was observed to make rather
peculiar motions with his arms and, almost immediately, he fell to the
floor, his head striking violently. James A. Bilyeu, who was present, went
immediately to his aid and raised his head and body up somewhat. Feeling
that the heart had ceased to beat efforts were made to restore heart action.
Dr. Prill was summoned at once, when he arrived some ten minutes later, he
saw at once that any attempt to revive the stricken man would be futile, and
after sufficient examination pronounced life extinct with appoplexy [sic] as
the cause. George Crabtree, whose age at his time of his death was nearly 72
years, came to Oregon with his parents in 1853. For the past 30 years or
more, until last fall, he lived in Marion county, from whence he moved to
Scio. He leaves his aged wife, four sons and two daughters to mourn his
sudden demise. The burial occured [sic] at the cemetry [sic] near West
Stayton on Tuesday. Uncle George was a good citizen, jovial and warm
hearted, his friends were limited to the number of his acquaintances, only.
Honest and upright his word was regarded as good as his bond. We can illy
[sic] spare citizens of his character. Submitted by Ginny
