E. G. Caufield, 75, who was born and spent his entire life in Oregon City, died here today. He had been a druggist and banker
within his lifetime, served two terms as mayor of the city, and had been active in humane society work.

Edwin Grattan Caufield, youngest son of Robert and Jane Caufield, Oregon pioneers, was born in this city August 21, 1859. He
attended the Oregon City seminary and his first work was in a local grocery store. He worked for George A. Harding, early-day
druggist here, for seven years before entering the drug business for himself in 1886. Clyde G. Huntley became a partner with Mr.
Caufield later, and finally bought the business from him.

In 1891 Caufield became cashier in the Bank of Oregon City, of which his brother, Charles H., was president. For a quarter
century, with the exception of short vacations in the summer months, E. G. Caufield was never absent from his post at the
cashier's window. He retired from active business in 1916.

He served the Clackamas County Humane society as treasurer from the time of its organization in 1891 until his death, and his
wife, with whom he celebrated his golden wedding anniversary in June, 1932, has been secretary of the humane group since 1895.

While serving as mayor of Oregon City, in 1897-8, and again in 1906-7, Mr. Caufield urged Sunday closing for local saloons.
Largely through his efforts, also, the power lines and unsightly poles were removed from Main street and relocated on Railroad
avenue.

Caufield is survived by his widow, Maria Putrow Caufield; two brothers, David Caufield, 88, and Charles H. Caufield, 81, both
of this city; 18 nieces and nephews and 14 grand-nieces and nephews.

Funeral services will be held on Thursday at 2 p.m., from the family home, Rev. E. S. Bollinger of Portland and Rev. H. G.
Crocker of Newberg, officiating. Vault entombment will follow at the Portland Crematorium.
