"Fiester---At the residence of Mrs. W.C. Barker, in this city, on the afternoon of August 10, 1891, Daniel Fiester, aged 80 years, 6 months and 7 days.
Grandpa Fiester, one of Oregon's pioneers, was born in Macoming county, Pennsylvania, Feb 3, 1811, and at the age of 20 was married to Miss Rachael Ann Darling, who still survives him. Together they crossed the plains in 1847, and took up a residence in Clackamas county. In 1850 he moved to Marion county, where he resided eighteen years, during which time he won the universal esteem of all who knew him. After a period of eighteen years spent in this county, he took up a residence in Josephine county, Southern Oregon, where he lived until his health began to fail him, and he came to Salem to spend his remaining years with his daughter.
Mr. Fiester leaves an aged partner who mourns the departure of a devoted husband, with whom she has spent sixty bright and prosperous years.
There were born to them ten children, seven of whom survive, three of them residing in this city: Mrs. W.C. Barker, Mrs. R. Bates, and Dal. Fiester.
The funeral will take place from the residence of his daughter, at 158 Winter street, at 3 p.m. today. The remains will be interred in the Lee Mission cemetery. The services will be conducted by Rev. P. S. Knight."
