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.
The best and truest thing to be said of our recent neighbor and friend is that he lived; "He lives most who thinks most, acts noblest, does his best. Angles could do no more."
Our friend was thoughtful for others, especially for the companion of his youth, who faced marriage bravely amidst poverty and privations for his sake and because for her happiness was beside him.
Together they met and surmounted difficulties finally amassing wealth and competence. They smiled when the sun shone and comforted each other when clouds were dark.
his thoughtful love surrounded the young family, nurtured and blessed them with strength and goodness and reared them to respect themselves and others.
he kept his word; paid his debts; helped the weak and sick; encouraged the faltering and gave his friends reason for pride in him.
Although his passing leaves a void in many a heart, his well spent life enriches many a memory.

John Albert, beloved son of J.W. and Clara (Gilkison) Maharry. He was born May 20, 1897 on Wolfe Creek and died of pneumonia at the Baker Hospital September 10th (?), 1917. For a young man whose tenure of life had reached so short a span his achievements were remarkable.
Idolized by his family, loved by his friends, respected for his honor and integrity by the whole community, his passing leaves a vacancy not easily filled.
Besides the father and mother, four sisters, one brother, numerous relatives and a large circle of admiring friends are left to mourn his loss.
To those who so kindly assisted us during the illness and death of our beloved son and brother, we extend our grateful thanks.
Mr. and Mrs. I.W. Maharry
