DIED
O. H. Joy died suddenly at Chehalis Wednesday evening of heart trouble. Mr. Joy was attacked in the morning but recovered and it was thought during the afternoon that he would be able to be out next day. Mrs. Joy had been sent for when the first attack occurred and with her son George was with him at 10 o'clock in the evening when the fatal stroke came. The present trouble has been of about two years duration, but the attacks have been growing harder.
The funeral will be held at 1:30 o'clock today from the Methodist church in Chehalis, of which church he was a member. The interment will take place at the Claquato Cemetery.
Oliver H. Joy was born in 1830 in New Hampshire. He went to California in 1849 with the first rush of gold hunters and followed mining in that state during the early days. He returned to the east in 1852 but went back to California again the same year. On the 7th of February, 1853, he was united in marriage to Mary J. Counts. In 1878 Mr. and Mrs. Joy moved from California to Lewis county and have since resided on their farm on Boistfort prairie. Besides the wife there is a family of five children: Mrs. M. McAuliffe of Tacoma, W.H. Joy of Lemoore, Cal., Oliver H. Joy, Jr, of Whatcom, George Joy and Benjamin Joy. All of the family excepting W.H. Joy, who is too far away to arrive in time, will be here today.
Mr. Joy was an upright citizen who took an active interest in public affairs but never held office except that he was honored by being elected a member of the constitutional convention which framed the constitution of this state.
