Medford (Oregon) Mail, Friday, 14 Sep 1900, p. 3, c. 2
Died in Jacksonville–Mrs. Hoffman. The funeral of Mrs. C. B. Hoffman, which 
took place at her late residence on Tuesday afternoon, was largely attended. 
Rev. S. H. Jones addressed the large concourse of friends who had assembled 
together on this sad occasion in an impressive and eloquent tribute to the 
memory of the aged mother, friend and neighbor, who had for so many years held 
a place in the heart and affection of everyone who was fortunate enough to 
know her. While speaking of her consistent and earnest Christian life, many 
passages of Scripture were referred to that had been an especial delight and 
comfort to her during the vicissitudes of her earthly career. In comforting 
words to the bereaved children he brought out the beautiful thought that 
mother was not dead, but more alive in her triumphant victory in gaining, by 
leaving this world of trials and sorrows, an eternal entrance and existence 
into a perfect rest in the preference of her blessed Savior, in whom she 
always trusted and longed to know. An earnest and especial fervent prayer was 
offered by Rev. W. B. Moore, of Medford, who was greatly beloved by her. Rev. 
Hanerly, of Medford, read an appropriate chapter and Rev. Strange addressed 
comforting words to the relatives in thoughts taken from Proverbs thirty-
first. Her favorite hymns were sung by Mrs. Robinson, Mrs. K. Kubli, John 
Miller and Henry Dox. Floral offerings were sent in abundance as loving 
tributes from friends and relatives. Her absent grandchildren in thoughtful 
remembrance sent beautiful flowers to deck the resting place of “Grandma”. 
Tributes were sent from Portland by B. B. Beekman, Fletcher Linn and Mrs. 
Mamie Gay. Six daughters, Mrs. M. H. Vining, of Ashland, Mrs. J. E. Beekman, 
Mrs. A. S. Linn, Mrs. F. E. Whipp and Miss Kate Hoffman, of Jacksonville, and 
Mrs. E. A. Dorris, of Eugene, were present, also her grandchildren, Miss Cora 
Linn, Ralph Vining, Mrs. K. Granger, Mrs. E. Minkler, Verne Whipp, Gertrude 
Whipp and one great-grandchild, Norma Minkler, were among the sorrowing ones 
who gathered around her. 
Grandma Hoffman was laid away to her final resting place, and as the years 
allotted us pass away, only the memory of her sweet face and grand, noble life 
can be retained. Her influence will live forever.
