DEATH OF MRS. ORCUTT

Mrs. Ellen Orcutt, the aged mother of H. B. Orcutt passed away at the home of 
her son on Monday, February 21st, the cause of her death being stomach trouble 
and old age. The funeral occurred Tuesday afternoon from the home. Minister 
Peters of the Christian church having charge of the services. A large number 
of the friends of this estimable lady paying the last tribute of respect to 
her.

She was born in county Clare, Ireland, January 6th, 1839, and was at the time 
of her death 71 years of age. She came to America with her parents when quite 
young and Nov. 19, 1854 at Lagre, Wabash county, Indiana, she was united in 
marriage to William Orcutt, who proceeded his aged wife to that home beyond 
the skies in February 1908.

Their golden wedding was celebrated at Bend, Oregon, in 1904 where they lived 
up until the time of Mr. Orcutt's death.

To Mr. and Mrs. Orcutt were born seven children, six boys and one girl, of 
which four boys are left to mourn the death of their loved mother; W. T. 
Orcutt, of Minneapolis; H. B. Orcutt, of Payette; W. W. Orcutt, of Bend, 
Oregon; and Frank Orcutt, now of this city.

She and her husband were truly of the frontier type having lived in Indiana 
before there was a railroad west of Chicago and in Minneapolis before the 
railroad found tis way across the west half of that state. They came to Oregon 
in 1903 and located at Bend.

Mrs. Orcutt was a wonderful woman in many ways always keeping up with current 
events of the times by constant reading. She was a kind considerate mother, a 
good neighbor and was especially noted for many acts of kindness to neighbors. 
She had an abiding faith that her future life would be taken care of it she 
lived right on earth and her whole life was a constant effort that her future 
might be bright and happy. The death of her husband was a sad blow to her and 
no doubt hastened her own end.
