"Operator Dies in Cage."
George Day, Elevator Man in Book Store, Drops While On Duty.
George Day, elevator man at the J.K. Gill store for seven years, made his last trip early yesterday morning when he staggered from the cage and dropped dead. Heart trouble was the cause.
He was 56 years old and unmarried, residing at 470 Tenth Street. He came from a pioneer family. Dayton, Wash. was named from his father, Jesse N. Day, who at one time owned the townsite.
A brother, (Joseph Henry Day), of Hood River, arrived last night. -- Monday's Oregonian

George's grave has no marker. Sincere thanks to Richard for researching this for me. Your help is greatly appreciated.
