William Lewthwaite, one of the pioneers in the paper mill business on the Pacific Coast, died this morning at the home of his
daughter, Mrs. Effie gay, at Gladstone. He was born in Douglas, Isle of Man, January 10, 1838. in 1855 he left there and sailed to
different places until his arrival at San Francisco, where he first went into the mines. Later he took up paper-making, and in 1868
he came to Oregon and superintended the erection of the old paper mill on the Clackamas River near Parkplace.

Mr. Lewthwaite was superintendent of the plant for many years, and made the paper from which The Oregonian was printed. When the
plant was dismantled, about 24 years ago, Mr. Lewthwaite went to Camas, Wash., where he superintended the erection of the mill of
larger capacity that was built there. He then retired from the paper mill trade, and has since lived on a farm on the Clackamas.

Mr. Lewthwaite is survived by four children, Aleck J., resident manager of the Crown-Columbia Pulp & Paper Co., of Portland;
Clifton R., an architect, of Portland; Mrs. Effie Gay, of Gladstone, and Miss Marian Lewthwaite, of Oregon City.

The funeral will be held at 1 o'clock Monday afternoon from Mrs. Gay's home under the auspices of Multnomah Lodge No. 1, A.F. &
A.M., of which deceased was a member. The interment will be in the Clackamas Cemetery.
