"Prominent Timberman of Portland Dies Suddenly at Seaside"
A sudden attack of heart disease ended fatally yesterday morning for D. C. Pelton, one of the most prominent timbermen of Portland, who passed away at his beautiful Summer home at Seaside. The body was brought to Portland last night, and was met at the station by William Reid, his son-in-law.
Mr. Pelton was between 74 and 75 years old, and came here from Michigan ten years ago. Previous to his arrival in this part of the country he had been identified with the timber business, in which he continued to take an active interest until his retirement recently. His property here was not confined to any one company, his holdings being all around and in conjunction with many men here.
In addition, he possessed considerable real estate on both sides of the river. For some time he was prominently connected with the Lumbermens National Bank.
He possessed a fine house at the corner of Ladd and Kelly streets, but it was to his home at Seaside that he devoted an extraordinary amount of attention. The house was large and he expended considerable sums of money on the decoration of the interior and on the grounds.
He had been in the habit of passing his time between the two dwellings, but latterly had shown a preference for his home by the sea. His end came unexpectedly to Mr. Reid, his son-in-law, who said that on the occasion of his last visit Mr. Pelton was in the best of health, and quite vigorous.
Mr. Pelton was a member of the Elks and also of the Masons, but not of the local lodge, having became a member previous to his departure from Cheboygan, Mich. He was the pioneer settler here from that city, and has been followed by 75 other people from his locality.
He was a partner in the Yeon & Pelton Company, and in the Pelton-Armstrong Company, but had retired from active business for some time.
His niece, Mrs. Bertha Bell, accompanied the body to Portland from Seaside.
