"Instead of the usual ministerial services at the funeral, at
the request of his friends, Hon. J.W. Nesmith delivered the following
touching tribute to the memory of the deceased:...........It was my
fortune to know our deceased friend long and well. Very nearly a
third of a century ago, when Oregon was a wilder-ness, and unreclaimed
from the dominion of the savage Indians, we were fellow soldiers in the
same battalion in the Cayuse war. Together we made long and
dreary marches, and shared the rude comforts of the bivouac around the
same camp fires; we divided the scanty rations, and alternately guarded
the camp through the long dreary vigils of the night, while our weary
comrades slept upon their rusty rifles. In the hour of
peril I have looked in his manly face for that sympathy and
support that one soldier expects from another, and I always found
it. No man among us could have fallen who would be more missed
than `Lute' Savage. He was honored by his neighbors with a seat
in the higher branch of our Legisla-ture, and in all his relations in
life, as citizen, soldier, legislator, husband, father, and friend, he
did his whole duty, and acquitted himself with that honor and fidelity
that renders his memory dear to use, his neighbors and friends. I
hope that each of us may leave as honorable a record. You may
engrave upon his tombstone--`Here Lies An Honest Man!'........."

Funeral services will be held from the German Baptist church this

Mrs. Schunke had been ill only a very short time. About a
week ago she experienced a severe paralytic stroke which left her in a
weakened condition. Each day her condition grew worse until
yesterday when she passed away after intense suffering.
Of devout religious beliefs, womanly, with a deep love and
devotion for the members of her family and her hosts of friends, Mrs.
Schunke grad-ually won for herself a warm niche in the hearts of
practically all of the members of the parish of which her husband is
pastor. Unselfish, unfailing in the time of need, she was loved
and respected by all who came in contact with her. She had been
connected with the German Baptist church since a child.
Born in Germany--Mrs. Schunke was born in Germany and came to
America when 10 years of age. She first made her home in Buffalo,
N.Y., where she met and married Rev. Schunke in 1872. With her
husband, she later moved to Racine, Wisconsin. Some time after
that the family came to Oregon. Mrs. Schunke had made her home in

at whatever he could do for a small allowance, then spent his ‘dollars’
with amazing wisdom. He loved church and had the firm faith of a child.

brought to us. We miss you. Goodnight, ‘Little Man.’

"Traffic Victim Was Middle Grove Student--James Sharpe, 11, of
4707 Silverton Road NE, who was killed instantly Sunday night when his
bicycle collided with a car, was born in Salem and attended the fourth
grade at Middle Grove School.
He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Carroll C. Sharpe. Sharpe
is a custodian at the Capitol Building here.
The victim was riding his bike toward home after a trip to
Middle Grove Market, about one-quarter of a mile from the crash scene
in the 4600 block of Silverton Road NE. He was riding in the
right-hand lane of the road heading east when a passing car driven by
Roy Rutschman, 47, of Silverton, collided with the bike. Pieces
of the bike were scattered along residential yards. Police
pointed out that the bike wasn't equipped with a light.
Rutschman said the boy was `directly in front of me when I
slammed on the brakes.' The impact sent the boy crashing into the
car's fender and windshield. His body came to rest in a ditch
alongside the road.
Survivors besides the parents are a brother, Kenneth, 12, a
sister, Ruth, 15, and a grandmother, Mrs. Henry Torvend, Salem.
The boy was a member of the Middle Grove Evangelical United Brethern

Dieing is but going home
"Salem Hermit Is Dead--Lifeless Body of David Shepardson Found
in Home--Laying fully dressed, face downward, upon his bed in his
meagerly furnished home in Morningside, David Shepardson, aged 85, was
found dead by neighbors yesterday morning. The deceased was
something of a hermit, living alone in the house he purchased several
years ago. He was a frequent visitor at the home of neighbors and
friends, where he `peddled' milk, and delivered butter and eggs.
It is the belief of Coroner Clough, who was called to
investigate the case, that the aged man died sometime during the day,
Thursday. The cause of his sudden passing was heart failure,
according to this authority. A brother of the deceased, who is
believed to reside in Riverton, Neb., has been notified and no
disposition of the remains will be made until a reply is received from
the east.
Coming to Morningside a few years ago, old Mr. Shepardson
purchased three acres of land and the tiny house and immediately took
possession. He is not known to have any other property.
Seven dollars and ninety cents was found in his pockets by the
coroner. Mr. Shepardson was well liked by his neighbors, despite
his peculiar mode of living, and when he did not appear as usual
yesterday morning, his home was investigated. They found the door
locked and Coroner Clough was obliged to break the hinges to secure
entrance. No trace of violence were found and no evidence of foul
play." OS Nov 21, 1914 4:6-7

"D.H. Sherwood Dead--Suddenly Prostrated While Working At
His Home--And Before Medical Aid Could Reach Him His Spirit Had
Taken Its Flight---Daniel H. Sherwood, aged 67 years, died quite
suddenly at his home in North Salem at 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
At 3 o'clock he was working as usual around his house, being
engaged in making a violin, when he became ill and was prostrated
suddenly. A messenger was sent to Salem for a physician, who went
to his bedside only to find that his condition was a hopeless one,
death coming at the time above stated.
Mr. Sherwood was born near Berna-dotte, Fulton county, Illinois,
in 1828, when there were few but Indians in that now rich and populous
region. He remained there all his early years and until
1871. At the outbreak of the war of the rebellion he enlisted in
Co. G, 11th Illinois Cavalry, Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll being his
commanding officer, but he served only a short time when he was
honorably discharged on account of hemorrhage of the bowels, from which
he suffered continually at intervals until his death.
He was married in 1854 to Catherine Elizabeth Fosselman, who is
now a heart stricken mourner by the bier of her companion of over 40
years. To them were born three children, only one of whom is now
living, Gideon F., who is salesman at Gilbert & Patterson's
grocery store. In 1871 the family came to Oregon, living a short
time in Linn county, but they have been respected residents of Salem
over twenty years. He has been a good man and citizen and the
family have sincere sympathy in their deep sorrow.
While his old ailment had caused him great suffering at times,
yet his death was unexpected. At 3 o'clock he was taken ill and
at 4:30 he said "good-bye" to those around him and passed over in
answer to the myster-ious roll-call. He was prostrated suddenly
and suffered intensely through several spasms.
Mr. Sherwood was a member of Sedgwick post, G.A.R. and was also
a member of the Christian church. Funeral services will be
conducted by the church and his comrade veterans will attend
them. He will not be buried before Friday and perhaps later, but
final arrangements will be announced tomorrow." DOS Oct 24, 1895

Edwin Sherwood was but three years old and his brother, James Sherwood,
superintendent of the Cincinnati schools for may years, was his
guardian. He entered Ohio Wesleyan university at the age of 16
years and received his AB degree from there in 1890. The
following year he took a master's degree. In 1913 he was given
his D.D. from his Alma Mater.
After leaving Ohio Wesleyan Mr. Sherwood went to Drew
Theological seminary in Madison, N.J., from where he received his
degree in 1894. He received a foreign fellowship while in the
seminary and went to Leipsic, Germany as a student for one year.
Upon his return to Ohio Dr. Sherwood joined the Ohio conference,
being a classmate of Dr. Carl Gregg Doney, president of Willamette
university, in conference. The two men stood side by side when
ordained and have retained a fast friendship ever since that time.
Coming to Oregon Rev. Mr. Sherwood became pastor here,
accomplishing much not only for the good of the church but for the
entire community as well. In 1907 he was called to Willamette
university where he served two years in the chair of ancient languages
and then was offered the chair of Biblical interpretation at Kimball
School of Theology. He was secretary and treasurer of the faculty
of that school." OS Feb 15, 1921 2:5 See also: OS Feb 16, 1921 1:5

Lost--Rescue Efforts In Vain--Mother Goes to Aid of Elder Boy, Who Is
Seized With Cramps While in Lake, and All Three Are Drowned--Spokane,
Wash., Aug. 1.--(Special)--While struggling frantically in the waters
of Lake Kelso to save her two sons from drowning, Mrs. Frank H.
Spaulding, wife of Rev. Mr. Spaulding, Sunday school missionary of the
Columbia River conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, today
drowned with her loved ones.
The Spaulding family have been camped for the Summer on the
shores of Lake Kelso, one and a half miles from Granite, and the two
boys, aged 9 and 14 years, while frolicing on the sandy beach, ventured
into the water and got beyond their depth. The older boy was
taken with cramps and cried to his mother for aid. The mother
plunged into the cold waters to rescue him, and when the cries of the
drowning boy reached the little fellow a fit took hold of him and he
sank beneath the surface.
The bodies have been recovered, according to latest information
here.
Rev. U.F Hawk will conduct the funeral services at Athol, Idaho,
Monday, and Spokane minsters, all friends of the husband, will attend
the funeral in a body. Mrs. Spaulding was a sister of Judge E.H.

"Died, in Salem, July 1, 1878, Mrs. Harriet Ellen Spaulding,
wife of D.L. Spaulding, of Oregon conference of the M.E. Church.
Sister Spaulding, daughter of Horace Smith was born June 24,
1829, in Fabius Onondaga county, New York, in which place she spent
most of her girlhood days. In early life--even in childhood--she
became the subject of converting grace, and an active worker in the
Church. In 1859 she came to this coast and on the 11th of
February of the same year was united in marriage to Rev. D.L.
Spaulding, her now bereaved husband. Sister S. was one of those
who consecrate all their soul and body powers to the work of the
Lord. She believed it to be her duty to attend and assist her
husband in his itinerant work and hence she was by his side in `cold
and heat and moist and dry.' Sowing at all times and beside all
waters. Being of rather feeble constitution through excessive
labor of body and mind her nervous system gave way and she sank gently
to the tomb. The writer has been acquainted intimately with her
itinerant life, and without casting reflection upon any, can say that
he has never known any more fully conse-crated to the work of the Lord
than she. She rests with the `blessed dead,' her body in the
mission cemetery, her soul with Christ. A husband, daughter and
son are the chief mourners, but doubtless many a tear will fall from
the eyes of those that have been blessed by her labors." PCA Jul 18,

in the US Army and served in Korea. Back home, he attended Montana State
University in Missoula, graduating in June 1959 with a BS in Business
Administration. By September he had accepted a job as a management trainee with
Carnation Milk Company in Spokane, Washington. His career with Carnation spanned
45 years, taking him from Spokane to Sunnyside, Washington to Oakland,
California and from a trainee to Branch Manager and Comptroller.
George met Juanita June Denbeigh Howell while both were working for Carnation in
Spokane and they married there on September 23, 1961.
Most of their married life they lived in Pleasanton, California where they were
active in the Valley Community Church and George was able to indulge in his love
of all things outdoors---hunting, fishing, hiking, and skiing. After retirement
they continued travelling and spending time with family, especially their
growing tribe of grandchildren.
In 2010 they moved to
Keizer, Oregon to live near their daughter Margot and her husband, Douglas.
After Juanita's death in March 2020, George moved to Ponderay, Idaho to live
with his daughter, Julie.

"Murder Most Foul: Mr. David Swartz Murdered in Cold Blood--Shot
While in his wagon, and Left by the Roadside.--Mr. David Swartz, one of
the earlier settlers of Salem Prairie, was found Sunday morning near
his home, with several shot wounds in and about his head and neck and
from the effects of which he died early yesterday morning. The
cicumstances as related to us are about these:
Last Saturday Mr. Swartz was in the city during the forenoon and
returned home. He then went with his team over to the sawmill
after a load of lumber, and returning had got within a quarter of a
mile of home when he was fired upon, apparently from the fence corner,
the shot taking effect, as above stated, in the head and neck. He
must have fallen thence to the ground, and his assassin or assassins
then approached and putting a pistol close to his head fired, as they
supposed, the farewell shot. The shot powder burned his neck
where the ball entered, and gave the evidence of the position in which
the weapon must have been held.
The parties doing the dastardly work then ran away, leaving the
old man weitering in his blood, while the team stopped near the fence,
where they were found the next morning, yet hitched to the loaded wagon.
Swartz had been having some trouble with his family lately, and
his wife and son, the latter a lad about fifteen years old, were
arrested as the guilty parties and lodged in jail Sunday evening.
Notwithstanding Drs. Kinney and Rowland had been summoned and did all
that medical skill could do, Mr. Swartz died yesterday morning at nine
o'clock. Coroner Dr. Warinner held his inquest upon the body
during the afternoon, the verdict of the jury being in accordance with
the above facts. Late last evening a man named Henry and a negro
named Joe Drake were also arrested. As the examination takes
place this morning in Squire Coffey's court, we withhold further
comment for the present." DOS May 6, 1884 3:3

"Alonzo Swartz was taken before Justice H.A. Johnson yesterday
morning and arraigned on the charge of murder. Deputy District
Attorney A.O. Condit was the private prosecutor and the criminal
information reads as follows: `The said Alonzo Swartz on the 29th day
of March, 1895, in the county of Marion and state of Oregon, then and
there being, did then and there unlawfully, feloniously, purposely and
of deliberate and premeditated malice kill Edward Swartz by then and
there unlawfully and feloniously striking, cutting and stabbing and
killing him the said Edward Swartz with a knife, contrary to the
statutes in such cases made and provided and against the peace and
dignity of the state of Oregon.' Messrs, Hayden & McNary
appeared as counsel for Mr. Swartz and a postponement of the
preliminary examination was asked for until Friday afternoon at 1:30
o'clock. This was granted by the justice of the peace and the old
man was taken back to jail.
The Telegram of last night contained the following concerning
the inquest held yesterday:
`It was a pitiful and sad sight at the coroner's office.
Three of the children of Alonzo Swartz, having been subpenaed to
testify at the inquest had come on the Southern Pacific train from
Salem. There were two daughters, just entering upon womanhood,
and their little brother, 14 years old. They waited patiently in
the general room of the office for their turn to tell their story of
trouble. And in the back room, stretched upon a slab was the body
of their brother, with a great gash in the left side of his neck,
showing where the knife had entered and severed the arteries.
`Walter Swartz, the 14 year-old brother of the dead man, was the
first witness called. He told a plain and intelligent story of
the trouble. At times he showed a tendency to be as lenient as
possible toward the father, and then again in telling of the
ill-treatment of his mother, he showed the feeling that controlled him
and the remainder of the family.
`But the most succint story of the affair was given by Emma
Swartz, a daughter, about 20 years old. She, too, evinced by her
manner that long years of suffering through the ill-nature of her
father had created in her a bitter hatred of him, kept from explosion
by a remembrance of the affection which had long ago died away.
`Swartz and his son, Edward had come home to supper between 8
and 9 o'clock on the evening of March 29th. He immediately began
to quarrel with Mrs. Swartz over the age of the son. Swartz
insisted that Edward was 21 years of age, while his wife said he was
22. He told her to get a book containing the family record, which
she did not do immediately. Then his anger broke loose.
`If you don't get the book I'll shoot your damned head off!' he
explained.
`Edward defended his mother, and had angry words with the father
as the other children looked on cowering in fear, and Mrs. Swartz,
frightened had left the room.
`When it comes to murder at home, said the son, it is time for
me to get off the place. And he arose, took his coat off the
rack, and was putting it on when the father went for him.
`With a pocket knife which he had been using at the table, he
cut the son in the neck. He struck again, and cut Edward under
the left side of the arm. His coat was half on so he could not
defend himself. The father slashed at him several more times, and
then he fell to the floor from loss of blood.
`You are going to die, said he. `I meant for you to die.'
`He reached for his rifle which hung on the wall. Taking
it down he pointed it at his son, lying in his blood upon the floor,
and pulled the trigger. Mattie and Emma, the two sisters sprang
forward, and grasped it and his fury passed off. Edward was cared
for at home several days, and then as he grew worse was sent to St.
Vincent's hospital in Portland, where his wounds, though sewed by
skillfull physicians, would not heal. He bled to death from the
cut in his neck.
`When Emma had finished this recital in detail, George F.
Porter, a brother of Mrs. Swartz, living at Grand Ronde, was called to
identify the body and describe Swartz's disposition. He
corroborated the statements of the children, and said that they had not
told half that might be said about their father's unbearable
disposition.
`And the coroner's jury, with expressions of anger at the story
they had heard, quickly found a verdict charging Swartz with the
murder." DOS Apr 24, 1895 4:5 See also: DOS Apr 25, 1895 4:2

81 years of age, a resident of Salem for the past 70 years, died
shortly after noon Monday, August 13, 1922, at his home on the Garden
Road four miles north-east of Salem. Mr. Swartz suffered a stroke
of apoplexy on Sunday, August 5, and this, coupled with his old age,
caused his death.
Mr. Swartz crossed the plains with a large immigrant caravan in
1852. Many miles he trugged along the Barlow Trail, so called
because it was laid out by Captain Barlow, founder of the Barlow
trading station near Canby, with an ox goad in his hand. The
caravan was made up of 40 wagons and 150 people. About 70 of the
people were men. So large was the train that, although Indians
were seen from time to time, not even a war-whoop was heard.
Arriving in the Willamette Valley, Simon Swartz, father of
Richard, liked the country so well that he located here rather than
going on into California as planned. As all of the donation land
claims had been given out, the father purchased a 640 acre tract of
land four miles northeast of Salem for the sum of $1,000. It was
on a part of this land that Mr. Swartz died Monday.
