Relatives in Ione and Morgan received word Wednesday morning of the death of W. G. (Wid) Palmateer, who passed away during the night at the home of his uncle, L. J. Palmateer, at Estacada. Evidently death came peacefully as other members of the household were not disturbed and were unaware that anything was wrong until there was no response to a call for breakfast. "Wid," as he was familiarly known in the county, went to Estacada Saturday for a visit and rest after putting in a strenuous harvest season.
He was born May 10, 1885, near Estacada and had spent most of his life in Morrow county. He had a good wheat ranch in the Morgan section.
Surviving are a daughter, Mrs. Cleta Jones of Baker, and two sisters, Mrs. H. O. Ely of Morgan and Mrs. Earl Morgan of Portland.
Funeral services will be held Saturday in Estacada.
