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. S.A. Stiltz who resides about seven miles from town, died Monday morning leaving a husband and a large family of children. The body was taken to Baker that afternoon for interment. Her baby lived about a day and was buried Sunday.
Only a short time ago S.A. Stiltz lost his wife and infant son, both falling victims to influenza. Wednesday death came to another member of his household, his son six years of age, being taken by the epidemic, and a younger son was badly burned by hot grease, but not seriously injured.
Mr. Steve Stiltz of Crock Creek, left Saturday evening for Spokane, having been called there by the mysterious death of his brother, W.A. Stiltz, whose body was found Friday in a fruit car at Hillyard by and employe of the Western Fruit Express company. It was thought from the condition in which the body was found, to have been murdered. A coroner's jury, however, decided that death was not due to violence.
The body was brought back by the brother and burial was in Baker.
Deceased was unmarried and had spent much of his time around Haines and Baker, where he was well known.
