OBITUARY:
Died--Beeler--At the family residence, No. 375 Church street, at 6:45 o'clock p.m. on Tuesday, April 10, 1894, George M. Beeler, in his 38th year.
Mr. Beeler was a native of Marion county, having been born near the forks of the Santiam on the 15th of October, 1856. He received a preparatory schooling at Monmouth, in Polk county (where he has a host of warm friends) and finished his education at Santa Rosa, California. On December 16, 1877, he married Miss Alice M. Scott of this city, and the fruits of this happy union are five sturdy sons, Oaka G., the eldest; Ivan E., Lloyd B., Scotty R., and Jay P., the youngest.
The major portion of Mr. Beeler's days were spent in and about Salem, where he was known and honored, far and wide, for the rectitude of his business and social life. About three months ago he began ailing and his trouble soon developed into a pronounced catarrh of the stomach. All that the most skillful medical service and the most devoted nursing could do for him could not abate the ravages of the diseased, and his surcease from pain came early yesterday night. Salem loses an upright and energetic citizens in the death of George M. Beeler and those who stood closest to him in life a devoted husband, father and friend. The funeral will take place from the home at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon and the interment at Rural cemetery.

LAID to REST --All that was mortal of the late George M. Beeler was laid to rest in the beautiful Rural cemetery yesterday afternoon. Rev. W. A. Smith, of Albany, a life-long friend of Mr. Beeler and of his family, conducted the services at the home, and his close and friendly relations to all there emphasized the solemnity of his ministrations. Upon their conclusion, the Woodmen, ninety-one strong, took charge of the cortege, for fraternal honors, and the procession moved to the cemetery on the South Salem cars. Upon arrival at the grave the beautiful and simple ritual for the dead was impressively read by the officers of the camp, and for the first time in the history of Woodcraft here the flight of the white dove was made from the graave of a departed neighbor. The services were rounded out by a quartet of well-trained male voices. The floral offerings were numerous and beautiful, especially a large floral emblem of the "Gates Ajar," sent from the office of the State Insurance Company. All insurance offices of the city sent representatives and the large throng gathered there made manifest the broad and hearty esteem in which the deceased gentleman was held in this community.
