DEATH CERTIFICATE: 
OBITUARY: 
M’Allister to be Buried Today.
Unusual Circumstances Surround Death of Man in Restaurant. 
Unusual circumstances surrounds the death of an aged man who was found in a dying condition early Sunday morning at the state fair grounds, and who died only a few minutes after aid came. His name was D. McAllister and he had been working last week in a restaurant on the grounds. The body lay at a local undertakers for three days before anyone arrived to arrange for burial. It is thought that the dead man was about 60 years old. About 6 o’clock Sunday morning Dr. C. J. Cashatt was summoned to the fair grounds and found the man in a pool of blood. He had apparently had a hemorrhage from the mouth. The man lived only a few moments after the doctor’s arrival. Dr. Cashatt was asked to telephone for an undertaker, which he did. No further inquiry was made of the body, as far as can be ascertained until an acquaintance arrived yesterday from Albany who gave his name as H. A. David. He requested that burial take place this morning. McAllister had money on his person when he died, but a notebook was about all his other possessions. His relatives are not known. On Wednesday, during fair week, passersby observed a fight between two men, who were connected with the restaurant in which McAllister worked. Whether he was one of the participants can not be ascertained. The body will probably be buried this morning in Odd Fellows cemetery.

Old Man Had Money But is Given Pauper’s Grave. 
No mourners followed the body of D. McAllister, the old man who died Sunday morning at the state fair grounds, following a week of work at a restaurant, to his pauper’s grave yesterday morning in the Odd Fellows cemetery. 
McAllister died apparently without a friend or relative near. He had money enough on his person for a respectable burial but the people for whom he worked claimed a large part of it. The said he owed it to them. Oregon Statesman 4 Oct, 1917, 6:7
