The passing of Mr. Gay Dymond, of Camas Prairie, Wash., deprived not only this community but the county as well, of one of its most prominent, respected and helpful citizens.
Mr. Dymond and Mr. Bert Dymond were proprietors of the well known Dymond ranch, to which they succeeded upon the demise of their father, Chester Dymond. The brothers were noted for their earnest affection for each other and their tender regards for the memory of their parents, as well as their hospitable and neighborly attitude toward all with whom they became acquainted.
Gay Dymond was born in the state of Iowa and in early childhood was brought by his parents to Washington; grew up on the Dymond homestead; lived there practically all his life and from it entered "into rest."
In 1912 he was united in marriage with Miss Susan Pendleton, of "The Meadows of Dan", Va., and who was, and is now one, of the respected teachers of Klickitat County, recently attending the State Normal School at Ellensburg. To this union were born two children who preceded the father to the Land Eternal in the days of their infancy.
He leaves to mourn their loss, his wife, Mrs. Susan Dymond, and his brother, Bert Dymond, a host of friends, no enemies, and all who ever knew him. The loss to the steady manhood of this community seems irreparable.
Appearing to be in good health, Mr. Dymond complained of feeling indisposed and retired to his room, where in a few minutes he passed into eternity.
Despite inclement weather and bad roads, with few exceptions, the people of Camas Prairie attended his funeral which was had in the Presbyterian church at Glenwood, Wash., Sunday, January 25th, many coming from the surrounding communities.
The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Seldon Ewing, of Liberty Bond, Mr. C.L. Colburn of White Salmon, assisted by Peter Troh of Glenwood, conducting a part of the services for the Grange at the place of interment, which was the Glenwood cemetery.
The grave was covered with beautiful floral tributes, contrasting with the snow-covered ground. Floral tributes were sent by many, among them appearing those of the I.O.O.F, the Pioneers, Mr. & Mrs. Rankin and Mr. and Mrs. John G. Weyers.
The choir, led by Messrs. Hanson and Hylton, paid beautiful tribute of song, both at the church and cemetery. Miss Hope Ewing rendered effectively as solo "The Dream."
George Gilmer, known well in this county, as usually in this community, managed the audience with his usual kindness and effective sympathy.
