COUNTY PIONEER TO FINAL REWARD

Jeremiah Franklin Ditsworth, 89, residing with his children at Trail since
his retirement five years ago, passed away in a local hospital Saturday
morning.

He was born at Mechanicsville, Pa., and at the age of 17 years went to
Illinois, where he grew to manhood, and came west in 1864, spending a few
years in California and finally settling at Austin, Nev. He came to Jackson
county in 1880 and had resided during this time at Talent, but mostly at
Trail. Thus he had spent nearly 56 years in this county. He was the last of
nine children; one brother lived to the age of 100. Mr. Ditsworth was a
member of the Ashland Christian church.

Besides his wife, Mary E., he leaves the following children by a former
marriage: Frank, L. A. and Stewart Ditsworth, Trail; Hobart Ditsworth and
May Richardson, Prospect; Ida Hebrard, Salinas, Cal.; Florence Hescock,
Scotia, Cal.; Ora Yerkes, White Salmon, Wash.; Bertha Cobleigh, Phoenix;
Ada East and Hazel Vaughn of Medford. 

Funeral services will be conducted by Rev. D. E. Millard at the Conger
chapel at 1 p.m. Monday. Interment in the Siskiyou Memorial Park.
