TWO MILL MEN MEET TRAGIC DEATHS
Two fatal accidents happened in Hood River last week within 24 hours. Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock John Johnson, an employee of the Menominee Lumber company, was drowned at the mouth of White Salmon, in Washington, while attempting to cross the stream on a boom pole.
Friday morning at 8 o'clock Clifford Stuhr, while helping to shift boom sticks for the Mount Hood Lumber company, was crushed by two of the logs rolling upon him.
Clifford Stuhr was the 13-year-old son of Phil Stuhr, of Hood River, foreman of the logdrivers for the Mount Hood Lumber company. He was born at Midway, LaCross county, Wis., February 10, 1890, and died August 21, 1903, at Hood River, Or., aged 13 years, 6 months and 13 days. About four years ago, with his parents, he removed from his Wisconsin home to Hood River where he has since lived. He will be sorely missed by friends and loved ones, who have the sympathy of the community in the untimely death of their son and brother. The funeral services were held Saturday at the U.B. church, conducted by Rev. H. C. Shaffer. Many beautiful floral offerings were made by friends.
John Johnson came over from Lower Durham, N.B., and was a young man 24 years of age, and well educated. He was buried in the church yard at White Salmon, Sunday, August 23, 1903 . Mr. Johnson was an Odd Fellow, and his funeral was conducted by the White Salmon and Hood River lodges. Rev. Garrison of the White Salmon Congregational church preached the sermon. Norman Young of Hood River came from the same town that Johnson did, and was well acquainted with the young man. About 50 Odd Fellows attended the funeral.
