Umatilla County Native, Age 95, Dies in Canada
WAITSBURG - Clayborn Durin Brooks, 95, native of Pilot Rock, Ore., and former Huntsville resident, died April 24 at Grand Prairie, Alta., where he had been living in a home for the elderly. He was the last of a family of six, the youngest son of Durin P., and Amanda Brooks. He was born June 10, 1870.
The family moved to Huntsville when he was 10. Oct. 11, 1891 he married Lula Bell Raley, also of a pioneer family. In 1895, the couple moved to Farmington where Mrs. Brooks died June 27, 1897. Brooks returned to Huntsville and in 1906, when southern Alberta opened up land to settlers, he homesteaded near Champion. In 1930, he disposed of this property and went further north to a farm near Wembly, Alta., where he lived until his retirement some years ago.
One daughter, Mrs. Randolph Webber of Waitsburg, survives as do eight grandchildren, 24 great-grandchildren, four great-great-grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews.
The funeral is to be at 2 p.m. Saturday at Ray's chapel here, with the Rev. Earl Cooper of the Methodist Church officiating and interment in the IOOF cemetery.
