This is a blog of mainly obits I have collected over the years, but also some interesting articles on the page the obit is on. I will only post obits before 1924 as they are out of copyright.

Albert Miles Accident and Death
From the Spokane Chronicle February 1, 1898 page 5.
Thrown Under The Car
Albert Miles a mail carrier, received terrible and perhaps fatal injuries last evening. He was steering a long sled, filled with a dozen coasters, down the steep hill on Sherman street, and ran into a Liberty park electric car. (streetcar) All the coasters were terribly shaken up, and Miles was caught under the wheels. His skull was fractured, one leg broken and many other cuts and bruises were received. He was removed to the Protestant hospital, and Mrs. Ruth and Catterson were summoned. This afternoon he was reported as conscious and there are some hopes of his recovery.
From the Spokane Chronicle February 4, 1898 page 1.

Arlin or Orlin F. Stanhope Obit
From the Spokane Chronicle January 28, 1899 page 5.
From the Washington State Digital Archives, they have Arlin for given name, but since the obit has O. it could be Orlin. Fairmount Cemetery has it as A.F. Stanhope.

Betsy Ann Emerine Gilliland Obit
From the Spokane Chronicle February 3, 1898 page 7.
I know it was the way things were in 1898, but I have a hard time understanding why the given name of a wife is not on her obit. Her name was Betsy Ann Emerine Gilliland and her husband was Samuel Pickney Gilliland, both have their pictures on Find A Grave in the Eden Valley Cemetery in Whitman County Washington.
