Woodburn Independent December 1, 1888
We are not in need of a reminder that one of our promising young men is not 
with us but has moved to Woodburn to become an editor, of we hope, a succesful 
paper.

Our town is full of Eastern immigrants, and our live real estate agent has his 
hands full to locate them.

The blacksmithing firm of Scharback & McCorkle,have sold their interests to 
Riches and Mount who will conduct the business at the old stand on Water Street.

Our ex-P.M. and Grocer was in town from Ritzville and reports prosperity.

A family by the name of Dyke,hailing from Kansas,leaving there to avoid ( a few 
words unreadable) insects,drought.cold and heat, with failure of crops,landed 
in Oregon but a few days since, came to our town to locate,hoping for better 
health, but the father and husband took sick and on Nov.23rd,passed to that 
quiet home, and on Sunday was interred in Silverton cemetery. The funeral 
service was conducted by G.A.R of which he was a member.He leaves a wife and 
several children to mourn his loss, who are far from home in a starnge land and 
among strangers.
