Ephraim Piatt Passes Over
Was a resident of Shelburn for 41 years-Passed 79th Birthday
Ephraim Piatt, son of John and Hannah Piatt was born in Ingram county, Penn. On the 20th of May, 1841 and died at his home near Shelburn on the first day of March 1922 aged 79 years, nine months and 11 days. In 1855 he went to Iowa where in 1863 he was married to Miss Eliza Riggin. To this union four children were born one of whom, a daughter, preceded him passing at the age of nine years. Those surviving him re his aged and invalid companion residing at the home; Mrs. Isabelle Crume of Shelburn; George Piatt of Portland; and Mrs. Etta Wolf of Shelburn, besides six grandchildren and five great grandchildren with many friends and neighbors remain to mourn their loss.
Mr. Piatt came to Oregon in 1857 and settled on a farm in Washington county where he lived until 1881 when he moved to his present home where he has resided for 41 years. In thought he was a Christian, being a member of the Methodist Episcopal church.
His vocation was agriculture, which he followed with a good measure of success, owning at his death about 200 acres of land.
For 15 years he and his wife had laid by a good portion of their income to meet the expense of their last sickness. His anxiety about the welfare of his family was intense and by his frugal life and labors he was able to help each one of his children materially. He was a loving husband, a kind father and good neighbor. Truly, the scripture text "Though shalt come to the grave in full age, like a shock of corn cometh in its season" was very applicable to brother Piatt.
Relatives, friends and neighbors assembled at the home in a very respectable manner and as requested by the near relatives, a short memorial was conducted by the writer and as the deceased requested, his remains were carried and laid at rest in the Miller Cemetery near Shelburn to wait the resurrection morn.
