OBITUARY

     Timothy James Ward, of Glenwood, Klickitat county, Washington, who died recently and was buried in the local cemetery there Tuesday, August 13th, was born January 17, 1881, the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Timothy Ward, old settlers in the Blockhouse section near Goldendale. His early life was that of the immediate descendants of those who brought the wilderness under the plow of civilization -- hard, it is true, according to the modern standards, yet good to develop stamina, industry and sterling virtues that come through trial. That he loved this life is proven by the election to follow it -- for him the city had no appeal. From boyhood he learned through his father and others the intricate way of handling sheep successfully and after striking out for himself he continued this line of activity. In those early days when the range was free he knew the choice spots in the Simcoes and Mt. Adams country where summer grazing was at its best and was known for his skill and fidelity in caring for the defenseless bands entrusted to his care. When his discerning eye noted the approach of the long sessions of storms and cold and deep snows he safely guided his flocks to the balmy winter grazing sections along the Columbia southeast of Goldendale.
     In November, 1912, he was united in marriage to Rosa Kuhnhausen, daughter of Herman Kuhnhausen, of Glenwood, likewise of pioneer stock. To this union one son was born, Frank E. Thereafter he resided in the Glenwood country. As this region was not so well adapted the year round for raising sheep he gradually entered the cattle business.
     Always a hardy constitution and accustomed to intense activity he could not realize that any task was too difficult, and so when stricken with pneumonia he refused to give up until it was too late. Under the best medical skill and the loving care of his wife day and night it seemed at one time that his indomitable will would bring him through, but it was not to be, the inroads of the dread disease having undermined his inherent strength.
     That he was a good citizen is evidence by the fact that anything progressive always had his cooperation, whether it was the raising of better stock, promotion of irrigation in the Hell Roaring project, the welfare of the schools, of which he was a director -- in fact anything for the benefit of the community or individuals. Of sterling honesty, devoted to family, relatives and friends, he leaves behind him a host who deeply regret his passing. It is lamentable that men so needed are taken while yet in their prime. What a consolation in a time such as this to turn to Faith, which assures us that this life does not end at all, but that happiness unalloyed, the reunion of souls deeply attached in this life, is the reward of those who are true unto the end.
     Besides a wife and son, and parents, he is survived by his brothers: Peter, of the Yakima Valley, Michael and Joseph, of Blockhouse.

THE PASSING OF TIMOTHY WARD

     Timothy James Ward, of Glenwood, Klickitat county, who died recently and was buried in the local cemetery at Glenwood Tuesday, August 19th, was born January 17, 1881, the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Timothy J. Ward, old settlers in the Blockhouse section near Goldendale.
     His early life was that of the immediate descendants of those who brought the wilderness under the plow of civilization -- hard, it is true, according to the modern standards, yet good to develop stamina, industry and sterling virtues that come through trial.
     That he loved this life is proven by the election to follow it. For him the city had no appeal. From boyhood he learned through his father and others the intricate way of handling sheep successfully, -- and after striking out for himself he continued this line of activity.
     In those early days when the range was free he knew the choice spots in the Simcoes and Mt.

When his discerning eye noted the approach of the long seasons of storms and cold and deep snows, he safely guided his flocks to the balmy winter grazing sections along the Columbia river, southeast of Goldendale.
     In November, 1912, he was united in marriage to Rosa Kuhnhausen, daughter of Herman Kuhnhausen of Glenwood, likewise of pioneer stock. To this union one son was born, Frank E. Ward.

     Besides a wife and son, and the parents, he is survived by his brothers: Peter Ward, of the Yakima Valley, Michael Ward and Joseph Ward, of the Blockhouse.
