LOUNDAGIN PASSES AWAY AFTER A LINGERING ILLNESS.At ten minutes after twelve o'clock Saturday, July 15, George W. Loundagin passed from this life, at the age of 78 years, 9 months and 20 days. He had been in poor health for a number of years and his death came not as a surprise to his many friends.
Mr Londagin was born in Meigs county, Tennessee, September 25, 1832. In the year 1848 at the age of sixteen he moved with his father's family to Arkansas, locating in Benton County. While there he met and married Rhoda J. Stewart, January 31, 1856. To this union 14 children, seven sons and seven daughter, of whom the following are left to mourn his departure:
W. J. Loundagin and Mrs. S. W. Hester of Dayton; R. D. Loundagin, J. B. Loundagin, A. G. Loundagin, Mrs. H. M. Hoover, Mrs. J. H. Meinberg and Miss Cora Loundagin, of this city; J. O. Loundagin and Mrs. T. J. Nopp, of Chesaw, Wash.; Mrs. R. P. Riggs of Portland, Ore.; and L. A. Loundagin, of Boise, Idaho.
In 1861 Mr. Loundagin crossed the plains in company with a train of 22 wagons. In 1862 he located on a homestead on the Coppet, near the present site of Waitsburg, having during the journey made a short stay alone with his family at Milton, Oregon, and one at Fort Walla Walla. During his westward journey together with his family many hardships were endured, and the perils of hostile Indians and dread disease were courageously faced. The long, tiresome way was patiently pursued until the goal they sought was reached. He has resided in this neighborhood ever since and has been on of the foremost citizens in all the worthy enterprises of the country.
In about 1875 he erected a grist mill on his farm and in 1888 built the Royal Block in Waitsburg, where he engaged in the mercantile and hotel business for a number of years.
The deceased was an active member of the Christian Church. He recognized Christ as his Savior while yet a youth, having lived in his Master's service for about 60 years.
The funeral was held Wednesday, July 19, at 10 o'clock from the Christian Church and was attended by a large number of friends, Rev. W. H. Harris officiating.
Interment was in the family lot in the Odd Fellows Cemetery beside the grave of his wife, who preceded him four years ago last January.
The pall bearers were Lewis Neace, W. W. Spencer, P. J. Price, J. L. Keiser, J. W. Morgan and Frank McCown.
The Rev. J. V. Crawford, of Heppner, Ore., a fellow pioneer and former pastor of the deceased, led the singing and assisted in the service.
One more of the pioneers who has helped lay the foundation of an empire has passed away, but the work accomplished and the life lived stand as a monument, sure and lasting, of the trials and hardships endured to give this generation its many advantages and comforts.At Rest at last we lay you here
Beneath the earth's green sod.
We bury you with grief and tear,
But leave you with your God.
He, you have served through Life's long way.
Faithful to the last sleep.
To Him look now for your last repay,
Your last reward to reap.
Hard toil your lot has ever been,
Relentless in the fight
To give your life to conquer sin,
To sleep with God tonight.
