"Sheridan Pioneer Dies"
Oregon City, Or., Aug. 1
 

Mrs. Harriet Eliza Sunderland, wife of W. O. Sunderland, of Sheridan, Or., and mother of Mrs. Ellerd Bailey, of this city,
died at the family home at Sheridan July 20, on her 59th birthday anniversary, after an illness of five days from an attack of
neuralgia of the heart. Funeral services were conducted at the Methodist Church of that city July 22.

Mr. Sunderland was born at Asheville, N. C., July 20, 1855, and was the daughter of Rev. and Mrs. Raphael W. Patty. The
family moved to Knoxville, Tenn., where she was married to Mr. Sunderland, and soon after they came West, accompanied by Mrs.
Sunderland's parents, who settled at McMinnville, where Mr. Patty became pastor of the Methodist Church, and Mr. and Mrs.
Sunderland proceeded to Sheridan, where they have resided over 35 years. Mrs. Sunderland was a musician of note, coming from a
family of musicians, and devoted much of her time to the violin, and was hears in public on many occasions. It was just recently
discovered that Mrs. Sunderland possessed what is thought to be a Stradivarius violin, which is in a good state of preservation.

Mrs. Ellerd Bailey, of Oregon City; Frank Sunderland, of Portland; Mrs. Victor Nemyre, of Portland; Mrs. Louis Grimm, of Aurora,
