Mrs. Laura Ferrell Laid Away to Rest at Hillside Cemetery
Sunday afternoon one of Oregon’s noble pioneer women was laid to rest in the long sleep at Hillside cemetery. Mrs. Laura Ferrell, who died March 4, at the home of her son Ferdinand in Vancouver, Washington, is mourned by hundreds of friends who knew her in life as a kind and sympathetic mother, companion and friend. She had become quite feeble in late years from a complication of ailments, but the immediate cause of death was heart failure. The deceased was one of the early pioneers of the Pacific coast, having crossed the plains with her father from Geauga County Ohio in 1847. Later, with her husband, she settled near Astoria, on the Lewis and Clarke River where the greater part of her life was spent. Mrs. Ferrell, like many others who endured the hardships and privations of pioneer days, was a woman of sterling qualities and untiring industry. She was the mother of fifteen children, eight of whom survive her.
The remains of Mrs. Ferrell were brought to Astoria for burial, the funeral services being held Sunday, at 2:30 p.m., at the Methodist Church where a large concourse of people gathered to pay their last respects to the dead. The sermon was preached by the Rev. J. J. Walter, and the services were most impressive throughout. The pall bearers who bore the remains to the Hillside cemetery were Judge F. J. Taylor, B. Van Dusen, C. W. Shively, Charles S. Brown, V. Boling, and C. S. Wright.
At the grave the services were conducted by the Pioneer and Historical Society of Oregon. Judge J. H. D. Gray, President of the society made the following address:
Pioneers and friends: We are again called together to perform the last and sad rites that the living can pay to the dead. The unerring hand of time has called to that home from whence no traveler returns our worthy friend and pioneer, Mrs. Laura Ferrell, who died in Vancouver, Wash, March 4, 1897. Her quiet home was for many years always open to the pioneer or stranger. Her kind and patriotic work together with her husband, Ferdinand Ferrell, who died several years ago, and beside whose grave we place her, is well remembered by many now present. Their constant and patriotic efforts to call our early pioneers together to celebrate our national and other holidays have helped to promote patriotism and good will among our people.
Mrs. Ferrell’s care and assistance for those in need was often given when she could ill afford to do so. A good neighbor, a kind friend, and a loving mother has gone to her long home. Peace to her ashes.
After the services by the Pioneer Society, the Rev. J. J. Walter committed the body to the grave, and with a benediction, dismissed the large number of relatives and friends.
