Medford (Oregon) Mail, Friday, 20 Jul 1906, Jacksonville Items: 

Fred Luy, Jr., came down from McCallister springs Sunday. He was
called home by the sudden death of his father.

(In the same column, as a separate item:)

Frederick Luy, Sr., a native of Germany, died at his residence,
in Jacksonville, last Friday. Hew as buried under the auspices of
the Odd Fellows on Sunday afternoon. Mr. Luy had been sick for
some time, but heart failure was the immediate cause of his
death. Mr. Luy was one of the pioneers of Jacksonville and has
been a familiar figure for many years in the old town. He was
big-hearted, generous, genial and hospitable - emblematic of the
days of the early settlement of Southern Oregon, and as such Fred
Luy will be missed by his old-time friends in Jacksonville. He
leaves two sons, Harry Luy, of Jacksonville, and Fred Luy, of
Medford, and two daughters, Mrs. Laura Clarke, of Gervais, and
Mrs. Rose Merriman, of Portland.


Medford (Oregon) Mail, Friday, 27 Jul 1906, City Happenings, p.
5: Fred Luy and family had all kinds of trouble on the first
start of their camping trip last week. The wagon carrying the
bedding, etc., passed too close to the engine running the county
road roller and a spark set the bedding on fire, and it took some
lively work on the part of the driver and young Fred Luy to
extinguish the flames. Then the baggage wagon took the road to
Dead Indian springs instead of that to McAllister springs, and as
a consequence the Luy party had to borrow "sleeping tools" from
the other campers until the lost wagon could be located. Then
about the time the party had settled down to rest a messenger
came to announce the death of Fred Luy, Sr., at Jacksonville,
causing Fred to repeat the thirty mile ride he had just finished.
