OBITUARY
 
Hugh E. Wilfong was born in Morrill, Kans., August 25, 1880.  He was married 
August 31, 1902.  In 1903 he and Mrs. Wilfong came west and settled in New 
Plymouth where he lived until the time of his death.  The summons of death 
came suddenly at an early hour Saturday morning, August 30, 1930, just a few 
days after the deceased had passed his 50th birthday.  Surviving Mr. Wilfong 
to mourn his departure are his wife and daughter Fern, one sister Mrs. Augusta 
M. Axley of Portland, two brothers, Otis S. and Elmer J. Wilfong, both of 
Fresno, Calif.  The brothers were enroute by auto to attend the funeral but 
were unavoidably delayed and did not arrive in time.  A son Forrest preceded 
him in death some ten years ago.
 
Funeral services were held in the Congregational church in New Plymouth, 
Monday afternoon, September 1st at 2 o'clock in the presence of one of the 
largest crowds ever attending a funeral in this community.  The officiating 
ministers were Rev. George G. Roseberry of the M. E. church of Fruitland and 
Rev. Henry Jacobs of the Baptist church of New Plymouth.  Special music was 
furnished by a male quartet from the Baptist church.  The many beautiful 
floral offerings testified to the high esteem in which Mr. Wilfong was held in 
the community.  He was a good friend to all who knew him, and a good 
neighbor.  He was always ready to lend a helping hand in time of need of work, 
in sickness, or in any way in which he could.   He was one of the most highly 
respected citizens of the community, and he will be greatly missed by all.  In 
the passing of this good man, the community has suffered a distinct loss.
 
Interment was made in Park View cemetery in New Plymouth.
