Cora Mae Gamble passed away May 6 at her home in Brewster.
Born October 7, 1875, at Bishop, California, Mrs. Gamble came to Okanogan county via covered wagon with her parents at the age of fourteen.
The family settled in Spring Coulee, west of Okanogan. The country was primitive then, and Mrs. Gamble not only survived an Indian uprising, but was captured by Indians during her girlhood.
She married Dan S. Gamble in 1895 and moved with him to Virginia City. He was instrumental in moving that settlement away from the river bank up to the place he believed the railroad would run, the current site of Brewster. The Gamble founded the Gamble Lumber Co., in 1910 and owned and operated the Gamble Hotel here for many years. During that time Mrs. Gamble earned an unrivalled reputation for her hospitality and preparation of food.
Her husband preceded Mrs. Gamble in death in 1937. Her only son, Cyril, passed away as a very young man. Her daughter, Mrs. John Gebbers, one grandson, John Daniel Gebbers, two brothers, Louis Munson of Okanogan and Willard Munson of Bishop, California and five great-grandchildren survive.
Private Christian Science services will be held Friday at 10:00 am at the home, Mrs. Helen Moore, Omak and Mrs. Arnold, Okanogan, are the readers. Mrs. Gamble's favorite hymn, "Shepherd Show Me How To Go," sung by Mr. and Mrs. Clinton Roys and taped by Frank Day, will be played at the service.
Burial will follow at Locust Grove cemetery, Brewster. Robert Gamble, Howard Gamble, Scott Hull, Delbert Munson, Lynn Munson and Melvin Dahl of Spokane are the pallbearers. Memorial contributions may be made to either the cemetery improvement fund or Brewster Nursing Home, Wn. Barnes is in charge of arrangements.
