OBITUARY:
Died--At Salem, June 11th, Arthur O. Bowersox, aged 35 years. This is the young man whose case has attracted considerable attention. At his home in Philomath, Benton county, last February, he received a severe kick in the head from a vicious horse. He apparently recovered, but about two weeks ago was attacked with severe pain in the head. He was brought to Salem for treatment, but grew worse until death ensued. Deceased was a man of fine character and highly respected in his community. He leaves a widow and six children, besides his father, Rev. J. Bowersox, of Dayton, three brothers, F. G. Bowersox, of Salem; Dr. F. R. Bowersox of Stayton, and A. W. Bowersox, of Albany, and one sister, Mrs. I. E. Allen, of Salem.
He was a member in good standing in the Home Forum, and the Odd Fellows, at Philomath. The funeral will be held Wednesday at 9:30 a.m., under the auspices of the two Salem lodges of Odd Fellows, Chemeketa No. 1, and Olive No. 18, at the home of I. E. Allen, on East State street. Interment will be had in Rural cemetery.
A post mortem examination was held this morning, and the physicians thought all conditions pointed to meningitis as the cause of death.
