Mrs. Carrie Adaline Taylor, of Asotin, believed to be the earliest living pioneer of Asotin County, passed away at the Howlett nursing home 14th and Elm, at 8:45 yesterday evening. She had been ill four years.
She was born April 27, 1867, in Cherokee, Iowa, and crossed the plains by ox team in 1877. The family spent the first winter in the Walla Walla country, and the following year came to Cloverland. Later they moved to the mouth of Asotin creek where the town of Asotin now stands. The Wamsley family moved again to the Ten Mile creek above Asotin, where they made their home.
Dec. 30, 1885, she married to Henry Critchfield, and lived with her husband on his homestead, now Clarkston heights. Mr. Critchfield died and in 1922 his widow married Thomas C. Taylor, who also passed away four years later.
Mrs. Taylor is remembered by her friends as a pioneer nurse.
She is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Nyda Etin, Portland; by one granddaughter, Mrs. Thelma Van Patten, Spokane, and a great grandson. Three sisters also survive, Miss Angie Wamsley, Asotin, Mrs. Clara Lougee, Spokane, and Miss Lilliam Marshall, Buckeye, Ariz.
Funeral arrangements are pending and are in charge of Merchants.
