"'Round and About the Spring Creek Section"

Our Blockhouse correspondent, sends in the following details of the death of the late Hugh Adams:
Died, at his home on Spring Creek, Sunday Nov. 21, 1909, of typhoid fever, Hugh Adams, aged 19 years and 5 months. He leaves to mourn his loss a father, mother, and three brothers, besides a host of friends. He was always a true friend, and remembered them by the scores, for to know him was to be his friend ever afterward. Always bright and cheerful, he will be sadly missed.
He was in Yakima when he contracted the disease, returning home two weeks ago. All that loving hands could do was done, but of no avail. He passed away Sunday evening, and was laid to rest Tuesday, in the Spring Creek cemetery. Rev. Knox of Goldendale, assisted by Geo. Darland conducted the services, at the Spring Creek school house.
He was followed to his resting place by a host of friends. The family have our sincere sympathy in their sad bereavement.

Once more Death's messenger has come,
And from our midst has called one home.
A brother dear, a much-loved son.
Ere half his allotted days were gone.
He leaves this world of strife below,
With all its sorrows, cans and woe:
And soon we'll pass as he has done,
The Gates that hides the big great beyond.

DEATH OF HUGH ADAMS

Hugh Adams of Spring Creek, died Monday last. He was the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. J.E. Adams, of Spring Creek, and was born in Klickitat county, nineteen years ago.
In company with Will Darland, a son of George Darland, he went to Spokane early in the fall and from there to North Yakima, where Darland contracted the typhoid fever and was nursed through his sickness by Hugh. Soon afterwards the young Adams contracted the fever and was sick about three weeks in Yakima before coming home the first part of the present month. Upon coming home he took to his bed, and although carefully nurseed and carried for under the care of a physician, he died Nov. 22, 1909, in the early morning.
The funeral was held at Spring Creek, being conducted from the School house under the direction of Mr. George Darland, also by Rev. Knox of Goldendale. His remains were laid to rest in the Spring Creek cemetery. A host of friends of the family attended the funeral, showing the sympathy felt for the father and mother and relatives. The family feel very deeply the kindness and sympathy of friends in this the time of their sorrow.

Our years are like this shadows on sunny hills that lie,
Or grasses in the meadows that blossom but to die,
A sleep, a dream, a story by strangers quickly told;
Of unremaining glory and things that soon are old.
