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.

Mrs. J.L. Savage, a pioneer of 1852 died Sunday at her home four and a half miles west of Haines. She was born September, 1849, in Illinois, and came to Oregon with her parents, crossing the plains with an ox team.

Her parents settled near Harrisburg in the Willamette valley, the fall of 1852, and she was a resident of Baker county for 52 years. She witnessed the development of Baker valley from a wild sage brush country to a community of prosperous farms.

Savage, Haines; E.E. Savage, Baker; J.R. Savage, Milton; I.N. Savage, Pendleton, and 8 grand children, and 15 great grandchildren.

SAVAGE-of Cornucopia, Friday Nov. 30, of paralysis. Mrs. Sadie Savage, wife of L.A. Savage, of this city.

Over two years ago, Mrs. Savage had a partial stroke of paralysis and Mr. Savage brought her to the Depot hotel where it was hoped, by the influence of the medical water there, she might be benefitted. She was very low at that time and it was not expected by any that she could live, but she recovered to a degree so as to be able to take care of her two children, and when, last spring, she with her husband moved to Cornucopia, she improved much and seemed to be regaining her usual health. Mr. Savage was working in the Oregon Gold Mining Company's mill and when that closed down he came to Union, taking the work of running the engine at the Union flouring mill. In the mean time he left his family at Cornucopia, wher he believed the climate would be conducive to her health. On Wed., November 28 she was again attacked with paralysis and this time so severely as not to be able to speak but a few times. Mr. Savage was immediately sent for but before he arrived at her bedside she was dead. He brought the remains to Union, where on yesterday, at ten o'clock a.m., she was buried. The funeral services were held in the methodist church, Rev. G.M. Irwin officiating. The brethren of the Masonic fraternity, in Union, took charge of the body, and in a brotherly manner manifested their sympathy with Brother Savage.

I desire to return my sincere thanks to the kind people of Cornucopia, for the kindness and care manifested to my family in the time of my wife's sickness and death; and also, to my friends in Union, and especially my masonic brethern. I return any gratitude for the kindness shown me in the funeral services of my beloved wife.
