BIOGRAPHICAL:
OBIT of wife, Clara (Camp) Rader, Source - USGenWeb Archives, submitted by Elizabeth Croethers:
RADER, Clara (Camp), Medford (Oregon) Mail Tribune, Monday, 21 Dec 1914, p. 6: Mrs. Clara Rader Pioneer of '52 Crosses Divide - Died, at her late residence, 105 N. Oakdale, Sunday, December 20th, Mrs. Clara Rader, born in St. Louis, Missouri, April 10th,1835, and started for Oregon from St. Louis by way of team in April, 1852. She arrived in Jackson County, October 1852, which had been her home ever since.
Mrs. Rader's maiden name was Clara Ida Louise Camp and she was married to Andrew Rader, December 12th, 1852, at Jacksonville, Oregon. Mr. Rader, known as "Honest Jackson Rader,"was elected representative from Jackson county in 1876 and it was while serving in this capacity that he was suddenly taken ill with smallpox, died and was buried before home folks knew of his illness.
Mrs. Rader was left with a family of small children, all of whom are living except the oldest son, who died soon after the father's death. The children are, Mary Pool and John Rader of Eagle Point, Clara Phipps and Francis Garrett of Medford and Joseph M. Rader of Phoenix, Oregon, and eight grand-children and two great-grand-children.
The Raders first lived at what is known as the old Lore place between Jacksonville and Central Point. Six years later they moved out to what is known as the Rader ranch near Eagle Point, at which place Mrs. Rader lived until July 5th, 1902, since which time she has made her home at Jacksonville and Medford.
Funeral services will be held at the Catholic church, Tuesday, December 22, at 9:30 a.m., Father Powers officiating. Interment
in Jacksonville cemetery.
Mrs. Rader leaves a large circle of friends in all parts of the valley to mourn her loss.

OBITUARY: 

DEATH OF HON. J. RADER. 
It is our sad duty to chronicle the demise of Hon. Jackson Rader, member of the House of Representatives from Jackson county, who died yesterday at 2 p.m. 
On Friday night his roommate, Mr. Merry came in at a late hour and found him in a hot fever. At daylight on Saturday, Merry went for Dr. Hawthorne to attend him, but found he had left town. He then solicited Dr. Ellis to attend him, but they were unable to find him. On Monday, Hon. J. D. Fay found him at the Union Hotel and took measures for giving proper attention. On Wednesday morning he was taken to the room on State street where he died of hemorrhage of the bowels. 
He was 44 years of age, a native of Tennessee, we believe, and a Democrat in politics. He was a man of inflexible honor and sterling integrity, and Jackson county is truly bereft of one of her most exemplary citizens. He leaves a widow and six children to mourn the loss of a true man. It is supposed by many that while his death was hastened by the hemorrhage, that it was a feature sometimes known in smallpox, and that he died of that terrible disease.

CONCERNING the REPORTED EXISTENCE of SMALL POX in SALEM. 
In relation to the report which is current in this city of the prevalence of smallpox in our midst, we make no particular mention, more than to say that several excellent physicians declare that this pestilence does exist here and that the death of Hon. Jackson Rader was caused thereby. 
Other physicians consider their cases as similar to aggravated instances of Chicken Pox, which have been occasionally known here, until within two months past, since early last spring. We shall take no pains to conceal any facts which the public are entitled to know.
