OBITUARY: 
Mrs. Ruby Borthwick Passes
Mrs. Ruby Borthwick (nee Taylor) passed away on Sunday after a lingering illness of many months. On Tuesday morning the remains were brought to the church, which was filled to its limit by sorrowing friends. The services were conducted by Rev. Hawke, M.E. Minister from Wasco. Many beautiful floral offerings covered and surrounded the casket, noticeable among which were the many bouquets of local flowers brought by neighbors, a testimony of their esteem and regard. A choir of ladies of Antelope and Shaniko, assisted by W.A. Rees, and with Mrs. H.C. Rooper at the organ, sang appropriate hymns. At the conclusion of the ceremonies to body was carried to the Zells hearse by the pall bearers - six Masons, J.A. Silvertooth, W. D. Walker, E. A. Stanford, V. W. Duus, C. J. Werner and R. B. Rooper, and the cortege started for Salem, where the final resting place was arranged in the family plot. Mrs. Borthwick was 44 years of age and was born and lived in Antelope all her life. Besides her husband, she leaves a daughter, Addie, a son, Eldon, with a wife and two children, her mother, Mrs. Taylor of Salem, one brother, Ben Taylor of Bridge Creek, and two sisters, Liddy, Mrs. Kelly of Forest Grove, and Addie, Mrs. L.C.
