Nearly 1000 came to Oregon that year, and of those who had then attained their majority there is probably not more than two score now living. One of these, Mrs. Eliza Jane Hanan, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. D. Fenton, Lewiston, Idaho, yesterday morning, aged 83. She was present at the pioneer reunion in this city, June 15-16 last, and entered into the spirit of the great gathering of 1600 pioneers most heartily. She was in good health then, and has traveled extensively since, visiting old friends. Her remains will pass through Portland today en route to Wilbur, Douglas county, where the burial will take place.
