GLADYS PAGEL PASSES AWAY
Gladys E. Pagel, wife of Robert Pagel passed away in Eatonville, Sunday, may 13th after 
an illness of a few weeks, age 17 years, 10 months and 27 days.
She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert W. Coombs, residents of this community 
for the past ten years.
She was married to Robert Pagel, Dec. 29th, 1915, a daughter being born to his union, 
about six weeks ago. The daughter is living and is at present with the grandparents, Mr. 
and Mrs. Robert Coombs.
The funeral was held, Wednesday from the Methodist Church in Eatonville, of which 
church Gladys was a member, having joined at the age of 13 years.
She was a devout and faithful Christian.
Rev. J. W. McCallum, Congregational minister of Oregon City, Or. (uncle by marriage to 
Gladys) delivered the funeral oration. He made a very able and comforting address 
touching on the beautiful character of the departed.
Rev. G. L. Cuddy, former pastor of the Eatonville M. E. Church spoke of the character of 
the departed, commenting on the happy home life of the Coombs family and of the ideal 
Christian life which the departed girl had lead.
Rev. C. H. Wood of the local church read the obituary, closing by reading two poems, 
one of which was composed by J. C. Coombs, grandfather of Gladys Pagel. It follows:
Again the circle is broken;
A dear one laid to rest,
Safe in the arms of Jesus,
Safe on his loving breast.

And, bye and bye we'll meet her,
Upon that Golden Shore,
Where all is peace and gladness,
And sorrow is no more.

Along with bright robed angels,
Who, before her the paths have trod;
She'll meet a darling sister,
Around the throne of God.

A male quartet gave a number of selections at the church and at the grave.
Six young ladies, friends of the departed, acted as pall bearers.
A. W. Merrow had charge of the funeral arrangements.
Interment was made in the Eatonville cemetery.
Rev. McCallum baptised the baby girl, Ethel Minerva, Thursday, before he left for 
Oregon.
Gladys Coombs Pagel leaves to mourn her loss, besides her husband and daughter, her 
father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Robert W. Coombs of Eatonville, also her sister, Mrs. 
Harry Seeley of Spokane, Wash., Ethel, Flora, Edith, Nettie, Laura and Velveta Coombs 
of Eatonville, and grand-parents Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Coombs of Eatonville, and Mr. and 
Mrs. J. W. Weaver of Tacoma.
The sympathy of the community is with the mourners, in the breaking of a happy home 
circle.

TEN DAYS OF RAPID FIRE USED CAR SELLING.
May 21st to May 31st, will witness a startling used car sale says E. S. Robinson, manager 
of Little & Kennedy's used Car Department.
A large force of mechanics have been working early and late over hauling and turning out 
Bugs, Fords, Studebakers and a lot of other makes of cars, preparing for the biggest used 
car sale ever held in the City of Tacoma.
Robinson says every home in Pierce County will know about this sale and he says he has 
held over some choice bargains in slightly used cars that will open the eyes of customers.
>From the inquiries coming in by mail from a coupon run in the classified columns of the 
papers it looks like the sale will start off with a big days dale Monday, May 21st.
Budil and Neikirk are responsible for the reconstructed "Bugs" in the sale, having turned 
out some classy looking cars within the past week.
1916 and 1917 Studebakers that have only run a few months are included, cars that were 
turned in for later models; just run far enough to loosen up and get the stiffness out of the 
engines.

Brutus. Auburn Globe Republican.

Mud Lakers are almost hilarious now. The Tidewater Logging Company's camp will 
soon be located on the western shores of Mud Lake. They are rushing a logging spur

growl about the lumber business, and want to rent their farms.
Some, there are, who wonder why nature created the dandelion, don't you know, they

of dandelions, the stems of which measured fourteen inches in length and the flowers, 
like great golden asters measured three inches across.
