OLD RESIDENT PASSES AWAY

     Mrs. Kate Lauterbach passed away Thursday evening of last week at the home of Rudolph Lauterbach in this city after an illness of four weeks with heart trouble. She was a native of New York, and was 69 years of age.
     With her husband, the late John Lauterbach, she came to White Salmon about twenty years ago, Mr. Lauterbach having been one of the first postmasters of the town. In 1905 Mr. Lauterbach opened the Hotel Washington and has had the property leased until two years ago when Mrs. Lauterbach came to make the property her home.
     Mrs. Lauterbach was loved by all who knew her for her sweet kindly disposition and leaves a host of friends to mourn her. She is survived by three daughters, one of whom, Mrs. Senne, came from Oakland, California, to attend the funeral which was held Monday at 10 a.m. from the Methodist Church, Rev. Knapp officiating assisted by Rev. Reid and Rev. Whitmore.
