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.

At the Cove, Union county, Oregon, Sept. 19th., G.H. Reese, aged 58 years.

Mr. Reese has been suffering for about six weeks with a complication of diseases which finally proved fatal, altho the best medical attendance was procured that could be had. Mr. Reese first located in Grande Ronde valley in 1857 and shortly afterward removed to the Willamette valley, returning again to this valley in 1871, and has resided in the Wallowa valley ever since. A few weeks ago he started for Northern California for the purpose of benefitting his health but was taken sick and stopped with friends at the Cove. Mr. Reese served two terms in the Legislative assembly of Kansas, ably representing Lions county in that body. he was a man of more than ordinary ability and leaves a wide circle of warm friends to mourn his loss.
