DEATH CLAIMS VICTIM AFTER LONG ILLNESS
James Albert Beers, son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Beers, passed away at the home of his parents on Friday, March 2, after a fight of more than three years from tuberculosis. He leaves to mourn his departure, beside his parents, three sisters and four brothers. They are Mrs. A. F. Hoover, Gresham; Ernest Beers, Portland; Mrs. J. J. Cunningham and Mrs. Gust Donley, Gooch, Oregon; Henry Beers, Barton; McKinley and Hobart Beers, Gresham, besides numerous other relatives and friends.
Albert had been in southern Oregon for the past seven months, and only last week came home to spend his last few days here. Before his health gave way, he was a lineman and was employed in electrical work in various places in Washington and Oregon. He was fearless and courageous and on more than one occasion saved the lives of his fellow workmen. While working for the Pacific Telephone comany, at Bellingham, Washington, about three years ago, he caught and held a fellow workman, struck by a high power wire, and saved him from a 45 foot fall.
The funeral was held Sunday afternoon from the Gresham Baptist church, Rev. D. M. Cathey officiating. Interment was in the Gresham cemetery. The Pall bearers were Ed Aylsworth, Guy Fieldhouse, Albert Ekstrom, Fisher Jennings and Joe Ross.
