Klamath Falls, Oregon

Klamath County lost a real lady Monday when Esther Cook died of a massive
heart attack.
She was born at Klamath Agency and lived all of her life, except for a
few school years, in Klamath County. She was a storehouse of information
about the early days and we often called her at Sprague River for background
information.
She was one of the original members on the board of Klamath Consumer
Council and that's where we got to know her. More recently we'd visit with
her at meetings of the Diabetic Association. A
couple of weeks ago we saw her and her husband Dibbon at Melita's following
the Chiloquin parade. They were extremely proud because their granddaughter,
was one of the princesses of the Chiloquin Rodeo.
She'll be missed, not only by her family, but by a host of friends
thoughout the West.
