FALLING TREE KILLS CASHMERE PIONEER HERE
Services Held Monday For Frank Slawson Came Here In 1890 and Lived On Mission Creek
Funeral services for Frank Slawson, 81, were held Monday with Rev. Davis of the Full Gospel Assembly officiating. Slawson one of the oldest of Cashmere pioneers was killed instantly Friday near Peshastin when a tree fell on him.

Surviving are one daughter, Mrs. Audie Wilson of West Seattle, one son, Earl of Oakland, Cal., six grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. During the services, Mrs. Ralph Baker and Loyd Simpson sang with Mrs. Simpson at the organ. Pallbearers were, Guy Long, Charles Waters, Hal McManus, Fred and Ed Abeling and George Fasken. Services were in charge of the Kuelbs Funeral Home with interment in the Cashmere cemetery. Mr. Slawson who with Mrs. Slawson had been a resident of Mission creek valley since 1890, was a native of Delaware county, New York. He came from a patriotic family, three generations preceding him who participated respectively in war of the Revolution 1812 and the Civil War. When eight years of age he moved with his parents to Minnesota and in the course of a few years came to Montana where his parents had preceded him. Subsequently he tried his fortune in the Black Hills country. He married Delilah Moore a native of Iowa but whose parents were born in the state of Kentucky, father Eben, located on Mission creek in 1882 and purchased a section of railroad land.
