DIES DURING NIGHT OF HEART FAILURE
Mrs. Jennie Fay Passes Away as She Sleeps -- Lived in
County 30 Years
Mrs. Jennie Fay died suddenly sometime during last
Thursday night, at her home at the southeast border of Enterprise. She
lived alone except for Harley Hensley, her grandson, a school boy. He got
up Friday morning, started the fire and began breakfast, then went out to do
some chores. He looked into his grandmother’s room before he went out and
saw her lying in bed.
When she was called later, it was found she was dead.
She seems to have passed away without waking, as she lay composed as if in
sleep.
For some time Mrs. Fay had been suffering from heart
trouble. On Monday she complained to Dr. C. A. Ault that there was a pain
in the region of her heart and she was short of breath. He warned her to
do no hard work and urged that she always have some one near, as there was no
telling when her heart might give out. This heart trouble is believed to
have caused her death.
Mrs. Fay was 64 years old and was born in Pennsylvania.
She moved to Illinois, then to Missouri and to Union county. Thirty years
ago she and her husband moved to Wallowa county. Until 8 years ago they
lived four miles north of Wallowa. R. M. Fay, her husband, died there 14
years ago. Eight years ago Mrs. Fay took up a homestead near the Elza
Makin farm, and had lived since near Enterprise. Last winter she spent in
California visiting relatives.
The children who survive are Walter Fay, who is in
Mexico; Miss Helen Edith Fay, Ashland, Oregon; Mrs. Elizabeth Shumaker of Santa
Barbara, California; Mrs. Mamie McKinney of Vollmer, Idaho; and Mrs. Clara
Weaver of Los Angeles. Mrs. Mc Kinney and Miss Fay came to Enterprise as
soon as informed of their mother’s death, and Mrs. Weaver reached the city this
week. Mrs. McKinney had to hasten back to Idaho because her husband is
ill.
Brief funeral services were held at G. M. Gaily’s
undertaking rooms Tuesday evening, and the body was taken to Wallowa yesterday
morning for burial.

W. W. FOWLER’S FATHER PASSES AWAY SUDDENLY
J. J. Fowler, father of W.W.
Fowler of Enterprise, died suddenly of heart disease last week in his room in a
Spokane hotel. W.W. Fowler was greatly shocked to hear the news on Friday
and left at once for Portland, where his father’s body was taken for burial.
The father was here in November, leaving on the tenth. He was robust and
appeared in the best of health and did not look more than 55 years of age
although he was 62.
The senior Mr. Fowler was a sales man
for the Clarke, Woodward Drug company of Portland. He had represented the
house on the road for 25 years and was considered the dean of the traveling men
of Portland and the most able salesman in his line in the northwest.
He was born in Illinois and came
across the plains to Oregon with his parents in 1852. For many years he
kept a general store at Glencoe.
His wife had been dead for some
years. Six children survive: Mrs. C. W. Michael, Dr. O. S. Fowler,
Frank F. Fowler of Portland, W.W. Fowler of Enterprise, Reatha and Howard Fowler
of North Yakima, Wash.
Immediately after his sudden death,
reports in the Portland paper sought to connect it with a number of fatalities
resulting from partaking of poisoned drink of some kind at North Yakima.
There was no truth whatever in this. Mr. Fowler had been indisposed for
some time, but had just returned to work.

FROST IS FIFTH VICTIM OF FIRE
Evans Tragedy Also Fatal to Mrs. Shelts' Brother
Theodore S. Frost, died Sunday, March 15, at the
hospital at a Grande, the fifth victim of the fire at Evans which cost the lives
of his sister, Mrs. J. W. Shelts, and her three children. He was 21 years old.
Mr. Shelts, who also was painfully burned about his hands and lower arms, is
recovering.
It will be remembered that Frost had gone out of the
house when the early morning explosion of a heating stove set fire to the frail
cottage at Evans. He hurried to it and tried to enter a window to rescue his
sister and the children, and fell forward into the blazing room. Shelts had to
help him out, and his body was badly burned. It was thought at first he would
recover but his injuries proved more extensive and serious than believed. He was
taken to the La Grande hospital by the railroad company by which he had been
employed.
Mr. Frost is survived by five sisters and his father
and one brother. They are: Mrs. F. R. Carey, North Fork, Nebr.; Mrs. E.B.
Yarbrough, North Bend; Mrs. R.R. Graves, Clyde, Wash.; Mrs. Oscar Christianson,
