ANOTHER PIONEER GONE
Mrs. R. B. Conover Goes to Join the Great Majority of Pathfinders Passed On.
In the death of Mrs. R. B. Conover Wednesday night at her home, 1528 Asylum avenue, another pioneer has ended her long journey. Mrs. Conover, whose maiden name was Therza Rozell, was born March, 1841, near Connersville, Indiana. She was married in 1861 to R. B. Conover who, with two children, Frank of Butte, Montana, and Miss Lula, of this city survive her, one child having died in infancy, and another daughter Daisy, a beautiful girl of 20, dying some seventeen years ago.
In 1872 Mr. and Mrs. Conover came to Oregon, coming to San Francisco and thence northward by sailing vessel. She was a devoted wife and mother, and a loyal member of the Presbyterian Church. She been ailing for some time, but the end came unexpectedly at about 10 o'clock Wednesday night, when she was seized with heart failure, and passed away in a short time. No arrangement have been made for the funeral pending the arrival of her son Frank from Butte, Montana.
