Wallowa County Chieftain Newspaper, Enterprise, Wallowa County, Oregon, dated (Thursday) January 28, 1909.
Donald Ellis Combes, six year old son of Mr. and Mrs. S.E. combes, died Monday forenoon after a long illness of heart trouble, caused by rheumatism. The little fellow has been a sufferer for many months and his death had been expected for weeks but when the news came it caused sorrow throughout the town and deep sympathy is felt for the parents, who have lost four of their five sons.
Little Donald was born May 26, 1902, and all his short life was spent here in Enterprise except a few months last spring when Mr. and Mrs. Combes took him to the Willamette valley in hopes a change of climate might benefit his health.
Funerla was held Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the Christian church. Rev. W.C. Crockett spoke words of comfort to the sorrowing ones. The attendance was large. Interment was in the Enterprise cemetery.
