BIOGRAPHICAL:
SON OF PIONEER IS STAYER ALSO.
George Hatch, Veteran Mail Carrier, Celebrates His 48th Birthday. "George Hatch, son of P. Hatch, who is one of Oregon's pioneers, a veteran mail carrier of the Capital City, celebrated his forty-eighth on Monday, September 11. Now there is nothing especially peculiar about celebrating a forty-eighth birthday, but in this case, Mr. Hatch celebrated his forty-eighth in the same house in which he was born, September 11, 1863. Looking back over the years that seems a long time to live in the same house. Of course he has been away but not much longer than a month at a time. September 11, 1863, saw the Oregon State fair in progress and Mr. Hatch has attended all fairs since. He has been a carrier in the Capital City for twenty-four years. His father was prominent among pioneers and held many public offices. He came to Oregon from the Hawaiian islands in 1843 and settled on the Clackamas river near Oregon City.

OBITUARY:
GEORGE HATCH PASSES BEYOND;
Veteran Mail Carrier, Native of Salem, Succumbs to Cancer
George E. Hatch, veteran mail carrier, died at his home, 626 North Front street, shortly after 11 o’clock last night. He was 53 years old, was born in Salem and had lived in this city all his life.
He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Lizzie M. Hatch, a daughter, Miss Alice Hatch, both of Salem, a sister, Mrs. Abbie Hatch Farrar, of San Diego, Cal., and two brothers, M. T. Hatch of Brush Prairie, Wash., and H. L. Hatch of San Francisco, Cal. The latter was in Salem recently to visit Mr. Hatch but returned to his home.
Mr. Hatch was the oldest mail carrier in the service of the Salem post office, having served twenty-nine years and eight months. Thirty years’ service would have given him a life pension. He was a member of the Woodmen of the World.
The funeral services will be held at the First Methodist church Saturday at 3 o’clock, Rev. R. N. Avison conducting the services. Burial will be in Odd Fellows cemetery.
