DEATH OF A PIONEER
B. C. Duniway Passed Away Yesterday
Benjamin C. Duniway died yesterday at the family residence in this city, at 3 o'clock. He was born in Griggsville, Pike county, Ill., March 24, 1830, and was, therefore, in his 67th year.
He came to Oregon in 1850. Quite a party came from the vicinity of his native place that year, across the plains, among them, J. V. B. Butler, who settled in Polk county, and the Gibsons, who settled in Clackamas and elsewhere.
Soon after his arrival B. S. Duniway went to Southern Oregon. He mined successfully at Jacksonville, during the balmy days of gold production there. Returning from the mines, he took up a donation land claim in Clackamas county, about 18 miles south of Oregon City, where he live till the year 1858.
August 2, 1853, he married at Lafayette, Abigail, second daughter of John Tucker Scott. One daughter and five sons were born to the union. The daughter married D. H. Stearns, of Portland, and died several years ago. The sons are all well known men. One is Governor Lord's secretary; three are in business in Portland, and one is a professor at Harvard.
Mr. Duniway was an excellent farmer, a man of tact and energy in the management of affairs, at home in all the details of husbandry, and prosperous so long as he was able to devote himself to his employments. In 1858 he sold his farm in Clackamas and bought a farm in Yamhill. While living there he met with an accident from a team of horses, by which he was long disabled, and from which he never fully recovered. After a residence of some years at Lafayette, the family removed to Albany, and thence in 1870 to Portland, where it has since resided.
About 10 years ago, Mr. Duniway, feeling that he would like to try rural life again, went to Eastern Idaho where, with two or three of his sons, he engaged in stock-raising. Till recently he spent most of his time there, in charge of a large ranch, which he managed with good results. For a business of this kind no man was a better manager. His sons put the business into his hands, and he made it successful. He often came to Portland, but when he came last time he felt his old infirmity growing upon him, and did not return. His decline was gradual, and he came peacefully to his end. At his bedside were his wife and all his sons.
B. C. Duniway was an excellent and useful man. He was not ostentatious, but he accomplished much. He had native spirit and energy, was the soul of truth and honor, was noted for his obliging disposition and kindness of heart, and was a moral, temperate, honest and just man. His descendants have reason to honor and bless his name, and those who were fortunate enough to know him well to cherish his memory. In all his life he never did an unworthy act, while his unselfish efforts for others were proverbial wherever he was known. He was a good man, whose work of life was done well.
The funeral will take place on Thursday afternoon. Services will be held at the family residence, Fifth and Clay streets. Friends are invited. These services will be followed by private interment at Riverview cemetery.
