MRS. ROSE HUSS, PIONEER, PASSES.  WIDELY KNOWN VALLEY RESIDENT TAKEN BY DEATH
TODAY.  Mrs. Rose Huss, 73, widely known Kittitas Valley pioneer, died at her
home here this morning [March 12, 1946].

Mrs. Huss traveled with her parents to this area by covered wagon over the
Old Oregon Trail when a girl of seven, in 1879.  She was born Rose Rader, a
daughter of the late A. J. and Margaret Rader, October 9, 1872, near
Hollister, Cal.  She was the youngest member and last survivor of the sturdy
Iowa family which moved into the Northwest in pioneer days.  Their first home
in the valley was the farm now owned by Cecil Johnson in the Fairview
District.

She was married to the late Edward H. Huss, October 9, 1890.  Mr. Huss died
in 1917.  Mrs. Huss is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Lloyd Libke and Mrs.
Vernon Oakes, a son, Arthur E. Huss, all of Ellensburg.  Another son, Edward,
now a member of the Army air forces stationed at Fresno, Calif., arrived here
today.  Six grandchildren also survive.

Mrs. Huss was a life-long member of the First Christian Church and a charter
member of the local church.  Funeral arrangements, in charge of the Honeycutt
Funeral Home, have not been completed.  [Buried in IOOF Cemetery]
