These are obituaries that I and many others have donated. Mine were transcribed from old newspapers. I got the microfilms through interlibrary loan from the University of Oregon. There are also many others who have donated. If there is no contributor on it, it is something I have transcribed. If there is no link on the contributor's name, they have no further information about that person. It is someone extra on a copy of their families information.

If you have any obituaries you can donate, please drop a line to Janine M. Bork.Your information can help others.

Floyd L. Hill, 43, manager of the Commercial Creamery company in Baker, died Wednesday evening at 6 o'clock at the St. Elizabeth hospital, where he underwent a major operation January 2. A blood clot on the heart is said to have been the immediate cause of death.

Mr. Hill was born in Weyauwega, Wisconsin, January 22, 1884. He went to Spokane, Washington from Wisconsin and in 1918 he moved to Haines, Oregon, where he was employed by the Commercial Creamery company. When the company plant was established in Baker about five years ago, Mr. Hill was placed in charge of it. He was a graduate of the Wisconsin Dairy college. The deceased is survived by his widow, Eleanor; two daughters, Ruth and Dorothy; two sons, John and Floyd L., Jr.; his mother Mrs. Mayford McKinley Hill of Weyauwega, Wisconsin; three sisters, Mrs. Helen Anthony, Miss Blanche Hill and Miss Stella Hill, all of Wisconsin; and one brother, Guy Hill of California.

James Hill, who sold his farm at Pine Grove a few weeks since and started by private conveyance for Southern Idaho, was taken sick at Idaho Falls and died the 26th of August. Deceased was a brother of John Hill, the well known pioneer rancher of the Flat, and came here from Southern Idaho a few years ago. He had long been afflicted with kidney disease and the hot, dusty journey by wagon proved too much for him and he succumbed to the disease before reaching his destination. A wife and several sons and daughters survive him.

The skeleton of a human being was found in the mountains about ten miles from Union by Ross Badger last week. The bones are suppose to be those of M.B. Hill, better known as "Monty", who wandered away from his lonely cabin in the mountains above Union in February of 1901. He was about 60 years old, and was being looked after by Wm. Stoker, who missed him a few hours after his disappearance. The height of the man and all would indicate that it is Hill's skeleton. Nothing is known of his antecedents.
