Squire Tinkham was an old and respected citizen of Jackson county, having lived here nearly 28 years. For the past several years he has been Justice of the Peace of Little Butte precinct, in which capacity he meted out even justice to all. The cause of his death was hemorrhage of the lungs and a bronchial affection from which he has been suffering for some time. Although in poor health for years, he was not bedfast until about six weeks ago, since which time he steadily declined. Mr. Tinkham was unmarried and leaves no relatives in this country. A large concourse of friends followed his remains to their last resting-place, Elder M. Peterson preaching an impressive funeral sermon. Peace be to his ashes!
