Obituary Notice – Western World – 5 August 1937
William Henry Laub, well known as a Bandon citizen for many years, died suddenly at the Leep Memorial Hospital in Bandon Saturday after having been seriously injured on Thursday, July 29, shortly before noon, at the log dump at Parkersburg, where he was employed in unloading trucks by his son-in-law, Bob Ware. He was 68 years, seven months and 15 days of age.
In unfastening the binding chains of the load, one log rolled off in an unexpected direction, striking Laub before he could escape. His knee and the lower part of his leg were crushed. He was immediately taken to the hospital where he was apparently recovering from the shock when on Saturday he suddenly suffered a heart attack and passed away.
Deceased was born in Kansas on December 16, 1867. As a small boy he accompanied his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Laub, to California. At the age of nine years he accompanied the parents to Montgomery Creek, Shasta County, California, where he attended school and later was employed in lumbering and other work. Forty years ago at Montgomery Creek, he was married to Effie Wise Hessig. In 1910, they moved to Oregon and since that time have been for the most part residents of Bandon.
At several intervals while living here, Mr. Laub spent periods of time in Alaska where he followed lumbering and fishing.
Deceased is survived by his widow, Mrs. Effie Laub, known throughout Oregon as "Mother" Laub because of the many homeless children she has reared in addition to her own family. "Daddy" Laub, whose sudden demise is mourned, was as much interested as his wife in making a home for the homeless and was honored and respected by all the large group that made up the Laub family.
Besides the widow, deceased is survived by one son, Jesse Laub; three daughters, Mrs. Vernal Barrows, Mrs. Vera Melton, and Mrs. Vivian Ward; one step-son, Carl Hessig; all resident of Bandon; also one sister, Mrs. Joetta Williams of Redding, California, who came to attend the funeral.
Graveside services and interment were held at the Odd Fellows Cemetery Monday, August 2, under the direction of Schroeder Brothers Mortuary, with the Rev. D. Loree officiating. Pallbearers were members of the Bandon Aerie of Eagles.
