OBITUARY:
EDWARD GITTENS PASSES BEYOND.
Former Willamette Man, Recently Drafted, Is Victim of Pneumonia.
Edward Gittens [sic], Jr., a former Willamette university student, who recently went to Camp Lewis, died yesterday afternoon in Portland after a short illness with pneumonia. His bride of a few months was with him at the time of his death. He was 30 years old. The funeral will be held in Salem tomorrow morning at 10:30 o'clock from the Leslie Methodist church.
The young soldier was a former Theological student and the son of Rev. and Mrs. Edward Gittens of this city. Word reached his relatives Monday, that he was ill at Camp Lewis. His wife joined him there but as she could not remain with him in the camp he was taken to the Good Samaritan hospital in Portland.
Following an operation about a year ago, Mr. Gittins had not regained his strength and was not well when he went into the services with the last draft. For four years he had served a printer's apprenticeship in the composing room of The Statesman office. He was married to Miss Ethel Thomas, a stenographer in the state library last fall. He left the Statesman December 22, 1917, and started to work in a railroad shop at The Dalles. He entered railroad service in the army when drafted.
Besides his widow and parents, he is survived by three sisters and a brother. They are Mrs. Mary Mishler of Woodburn, Mrs. Frances Gittins Brown of Culver, Or., Miss Margaret Gittins of Salem and Robert Gittins who is a railroad man at Willamina.
