AGAIN DEATH CALLS

The sudden death of "Grandma" Buxton at the home of her son F. J. Buxton, near
New Bridge on Tuesday morning April 26th, was a shock to her relatives and
friends. It appears that she had been in usual health up until bedtime Monday
evening when she complained of having a severe cold. Her daughter-in-law went
to her at midnight but she said nothing was needed. At breakfast time
"Grandma" was asleep and seemed to be resting easy so it was decided not to
disturb her. After the meal was finished Mrs. F. J. Buxton went to awaken her
and found her dead.

The funeral will be held at the Methodist church in Richland today at two
o'clock, Rev. J. M. Johnson conducting the services.

Zara D. Buxton was born in the state of Ohio on February 15th, 1846, and when
but a child moved with her parents to Michigan, residing there until 1882 when
she went to Kansas. She moved to Oklahoma when that country was first opened
for settlement, afterwards going to New Mexico where she resided until coming
to Oregon in August 1915. She was the mother of four children, three of whom
survive her, viz: Guy H., residing in New Mexico; Benjamin, a resident of
Oklahoma City, and F. J. Buxton of Eagle Valley.
