"White Salmon"

     White Salmon lost two of its most highly esteemed residents last week in the deaths of Mrs. Marietta Hunsaker and Edwin Bundy. Both were well advanced in years, and both possessed endearing qualities which will make their places in the community hard to fill. A large circle of friends and relatives filled the Gardner chapel on Sunday and Monday afternoons to pay their last tribute to these much beloved residents.
