The funeral of Joseph Johnstone, Oregon pioneer, who died at Canby,
January 18, was held at that place Thursday.
His son, John F. Johnstone, is a member of the Portland police
force, and he also has a daughter, Miss Anna Johnstone, living
in Portland.
Mr. Johnstone was born in Dumfries, Scotland, in 1836. He came
to America in 1851, and crossed the plains from Missouri in
1853. Later he spent 12 years in California, returning to Oregon
to spend the remainder of his life on a 320-acre farm near
Canby. His wife died in 1908. |
