DEATH OF MRS. EDMUNSON
 
Another Pioneer Gone to the Mysterious Beyond
 
Mrs. Bradley Edmunson, whose illness has been mentioned from time to time in 
the Citizen, passed quietly away at 11 o'clock last Monday night, surrounded 
by her entire family.  She had suffered long from cancer of the stomach, and 
for weeks it was only a question of a short time.  Several weeks ago she was 
taken to Weiser for medical treatment and since that time the members of her 
family have been constantly by her side.  It was indeed a noble ending of a 
noble life, during her last hours to be surrounded by husband and children.  
Gathered around the death bed were three generations -- husband, sons, and 
daughters, sons-in-law and grandchildren, all of whom had learned to love and 
cherish the noble woman whose life had been devoted to their welfare.  All was 
done for her that it was possible to do, but of no avail.  The life-sustaining 
machinery was worn and wasted by disease and her life slowly ebbed away.
 
She was brought to Cambridge on Wednesday's train, where the mourning party 
was met at the depot by many friends who accompanied them to the church where 
the funeral services were held.  Then, in accordance with her dying request, 
she was buried in the Cambridge cemetery.
 
Mrs. Edmunson was born in Norway, August 12, 1843, and while yet a child she 
came to America with her parents, who settled in Wisconsin, where she resided 
until her marriage with Bradley Edmunson in 1863.  During that year Mrs. 
Edmunson came west, returning in 1968 (sb1868) and bringing his wife to the 
coast with him.  They lived in California, Oregon and Washington until 1891, 
when they came to Washington county and settled on the place where she resided 
until the time of her death.
 
She leaves a husband and eight children to mourn the death of a faithful and 
devoted wife and mother.
 
Mrs. Edmunson was among the pioneers in this country.  During her eleven 
years' residence here she made hosts of friends.  She was loved and respected 
by all who knew her.
 
The Citizen joins her many friends in extending their heartfelt sympathies to 
the bereaved family.
 
In this connection Mr. Edmunson and children desire to extend through the 
Citizen their sincere thanks to the people of Cambridge and vicinity for the 
many courtesies and sympathies shown them during their time of sorrow; also to 
the employees of the P. & I. N., who were very kind to them.
