OBITUARY:
Death of a Marion County Pioneer at a Good Old Age.
OUSTERHOUDT - At his home, near Marion, Oregon, June 8, 1900, H. D. Osterhoudt, aged 76 years, 6 months and 15 days.
Hiram D. Osterhoudt was born in Middletown, Delaware county, New York, November 23, 1823. Emigrated to Illinois will his father's family in 1841. In 1846 he was married to Miss Eugenia Reed, who died two years after the marriage, leaving one daughter, Mary A. Osterhoudt.
On April 24, 1851, he was married to Mrs. Caroline Moats, with whom he removed to Oregon in 1866, location in Marion county, where he has since continuously resided, leading a quiet, peaceful life, loved and respected by all who knew him; none being more upright and honorable in their dealing with their fellow men than he.
Mr. Ousterhoudt was taken very suddenly and alarmingly ill on April 21 with neruralgia of the heart. Dr. Ransom, of Turner, was called and gave him temporary relief, and he rallied sufficiently to be up part of the time, but at times he suffered from extreme pain, until June 8th, when he passed away while sitting in his chair without any premonition whatever.
On June 10th he was laid to rest in Pleasant Grove cemetery, where a large number of friends and neighbors gathered to pay their last tribute of respect to the deceased and extend their heartfelt sympathies to the bereaved. Many beautiful flowers were laid on the grave by kind hands.
The services were conducted by Rev. Hinshaw, of Marion. His words were appropriate and full of christian hope and consolation. The Marion and Pleasant Grove church choirs sang some very sweet songs.
The wife of Mr. Osterhoudt passed away some eight years ago. He leaves three children to mourn the loss of a good, kind father, namely; Mrs. M. A. Sweet, of Illinois; E. R. Osterhoudt, of Massachusetts, and Mrs. Allie G. Farnham, of Marion, Oregon, only the last named daughter being with him at the time of his death or present at the burial. There is left, alos, one brother and one sister, the brother being present at the burial.
