Wyatt Jefferson Bohannan, minister of the First Christian Church of Wallowa, Ore., passed away on April 10, after a lingering illness of several weeks. Brother Bohannan came to Eastern Oregon in search of health about nine months ago, and for a time he showed great improvement and became very hopeful of regaining his health and strength. In fact, he became so hopeful and so confident of improvement that, when Dr. Claude Wingo resigned the ministry of the Wallowa church to accept a call to California (where he also passed away on January 19), Brother Bohannan accepted a call to the Wallowa church and served the people faithfully until compelled by illness to give up his pulpit. His funeral, which was held on Friday afternoon, April 11, from the church of which he had been the minister, bore testimony of the great love and esteem in which he was held by the entire community. The funeral sermon was preached by Brother Byron Miller, of Enterprise, Ore., and was attended by a large concourse of sorrowing people. The music, which was furnished by a select quartet, was very sweet and touching. The floral offerings were many and beautiful. The remains were interred near Huntsville, Ark. Brother Bohannan was born near Huntsville twenty-five years ago, and all of his life, excepting the past year, had been spent in his native State. He had pledged his life to his Master in the ministry and was faithful unto the end. He was a subscriber to the Gospel Advocate. --Anna Coward. Gospel Advocate, July 10, 1913, page 668.
