OBITUARY.
The Rev. D.O. Ghormley, founder and pastor of the present Central Presbyterian church in this city, died last Wednesday at his home in Tacoma, at the age of 65 years, from the effects of influenza, contracted more than a year ago. He never fully recovered from the malady and had been steadily failing until his death.
In 1880 he opened the First Presbyterian church, which was built by William Ladd, and was its pastor continuously until his resignation 20 years ago. Since that time he had pastorates in Walla Walla and several other cities in Washington. For the last eight years he had been canonical Missionary for the state of Washington, with headquarters in Tacoma.
Rev. Mr. Ghormley is survived by his widow, Alice M., and six children - Mrs. Sarah Urquhart of Centralia, Wash; Margaret; Robert, of Washington, D.C.; Kenneth and Alfred of Tacoma, and Ralph of New York. The body will arrive tomorrow afternoon at 5 o'clock, and funeral services will be held at Lone Fir cemetery at 5:30. Rev. Levi Johnson, assistant pastor of the First Presbyterian church, will officiate.
