In Memoriam (Contributed)

Selby F. Stark was born October 28, 1859, Pike county, Ills., and came to 
Malheur county, Or., in 1880. He was married in 1897 to Anna Dunor Burns of 
Chicago. With the exception of a brief residence in Weiser he has spent the 
last 25 years in Malheur county. He moved to Payette last April and was 
engaged in real estate business with Mr. Russell, being interested in lands 
and an irrigation project on Dead Ox Flat. He was well and favorably known and 
was held in live and esteem in his home circle.

About July 15 he began ailing with what was probably walking typhoid. Dr. Avey 
was called July 25. He was assisted in the case by Dr. J. C. Woodward. It 
developed into cerebral meningitis and passed beyond the control of medical 
skill. His parents came August 6. The nurses, neighbors and friends did all 
they could to relieve his suffering but death claimed him. At 10:50 Friday 
morning August 1 he passed away. He leaves besides his parents, his wife and 
two little boys, two brothers, two sisters and other relatives and many 
friends.

He made a profession of faith in Christ when a boy, and on his dying bed said 
he was not afraid to die. He asked his father to take care of the little boys. 
He said he was crossing through the river Jordon and would like to take his 
wife with him but would wait for her in heaven.

He was buried from the Baptist church at 10:30 o'clock Saturday morning. The 
funeral discourse by Pastor Dulin was from the test: "All things work together 
for good to them that live God." After which the remains were laid to rest in 
Riverside cemetery.
