Captain A. V. Pendleton died Friday at the home of his brother, N. B. Pendleton, 741 East Twelfth street. He was taken suddenly ill with a paralytic stroke and passed away soon afterward.

Captain Pendleton was born in Lincolnville, Me., June 5, 1845. Many years of his younger life were passed at sea on the Atlantic Coast, where he was master of various vessels running between New York and Southern ports. He came to Oregon in 1883 and accepted a position with the Oregon Railway & Navigation Company at Astoria, where he remained until 1901. He suffered a stroke of paralysis in 1903 and has been in poor health since that time.

He moved to Portland in 1906, where he remained until his death. He was chairman of the State Pilot Commissioners for several year; was a member of the Ancient Order of United Workmen and Masonic lodges.

He is survived by a widow and three brothers, N. B. Pendleton, of Portland; Charles E. Pendleton, of Linconville, Me., and George B. Pendleton, of Boston, Mass.
