OBITUARY:
Last Monday Reuben C. Remington, one of the best known men of this vicinity past to his eternal rest. He has made his home close to Dallas for many years, and was respected highly for his probity and excellent qualities of heart and mind. Although well past the meridan of life, his views on all subjects were eagerly asked for and respected by those who had the pleasure of his acquaintance. His passing has left a void hard to fill, and the bereaved family have the sympathy of the entire community. Reuben C. Remington was born in New York state, December 27, 1830, and was nearly 77 years of age. He came to Oregon in 1852, and has lived in Polk county and vicinity nearly ever since. He was married to his first wife, Miss Sarah Buff, in 1861, but she died within a year or two after marriage. In 1866 he married Mary E. Kimsey, and she and eight children survive him, six of whom were present at the funeral, which occurred yesterday afternoon from his residence near Dallas, and the remains were laid to rest in the Brown cemetery, Rev. Corvin being the officiating minister. A large conclave of his devoted friends and neighbors followed him to the grave.
