ETHEL McNEIL Ethel McNeil died as the result of paralysis last Saturday evening and was buried Monday afternoon from the Lauer Undertaking parlors. Rev. M. D. Reed officiating, with Rev. A. J. and Mrs. Adams, Mrs. Blair, and Mrs. Lathrop assisting. Mrs. McNeil was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George W. Picklesimer, a family that came from Crane, Oregon. They were working in the fruit harvest at New Plymouth, where Ethel met Mr. McNeil and they were married there just a few days before the paralysis came upon her and left her helpless except as to the muscles of the head and neck. She was cheerful and hopeful thru the nearly three months of helplessness, but on Saturday morning pneumonia set in and she lingered but twelve hours after that. Her husband, Father and Mother, and two married brothers live here and a married sister lives in Burns, Oregon. It is a bereavement to them all as death must be; but unless she could be cured from an extreme case of paralysis, there was no prospect of joyful womanhood before her. Many friends were present at the funeral to express their sympathy.
