FATAL ACCIDENT IN CAMP
C.J. Houts of Montesano receives injuries from which he dies.
C.J. Houts, a well known citizen of Montesano, was badly injured at a camp on Johns river, last Thursday, from the effects of which he died in a hospital in Aberdeen on Sunday.
Mr Houts had been working in the camp and at the time of the accident was standing near a cable used in hauling logs. The hook attached to the log broke and struck Mr. Houts in the leg, tearing away the flesh and breaking the bone in a terrible manner. He was immediately taken to the hospital at Aberdeen where everything possible was done, but blood poisoning set in and he died Sunday morning.
The body was brought to Montesano on the evening boat. The funeral services were held at the M. E. church on Tuesday, July 30, the Rev. W. E. Thompson, pastor of the church, officiating, assisted by Rev. F. E. Hutton, A large concourse of friends paid the last tribute of respect and esteem to a brave soldier, a good citizen and an earnest Christian. The burial was in the Montesano cemetery.
Christopher J. Houts was born in Schuyler county, Illinois, Nov. 26, 1843. He was married to Susan Peacock, Dec. 20, 1865. Ten children were born into the home, nine of whom are still living. Mr. Houts fought in the civil war with the Eleventh Kansas regiment, his term of service covering a period of 3 years and 33 months. He was converted at a camp meeting in the fall of 1866 and immediately united with the M. E. church, of which body he remained a constant member until the time of his death. A wife and nine children mourn the loss of a kind husband and loving father.
The surviving children are: Mrs. Charles Allen, Montesano; Mrs Oliver Hall, Wilbur, Wash.; Mrs. Arthur Fry, Mrs. Frank Watson, Mrs Frank Atwood and Frank Houts, of Johns River, this county; and Henry, Inez and Stella at Johns River a few years ago.
Mr. Houts came to Montesano about twelve years ago and had lived here most of the time since. He was an honest, upright citizen in every sense of the word, one of that class whose death is a loss to any community.
