Dr. H. Carpenter, who has been confined to his house for the past three months with an affection of the liver, died at his residence on church street yesterday morning at 3:20, surrounded by his family and a few friends.

Dr. Carpenter was born in Connersville, Indiana, December 19, 1827, and was married on Oct. 13, 1850, in Iowa to Miss Sarah Coshow. He moved to Oregon in June, 1861, and was during the civil war surgeon of the First Oregon infantry. He came to Salem in the fall of 1865, and remained here practicing his profession and engaging in various public enterprises until about nine years since, when he moved with his family to Portland. Dr. Carpenter was selected by the state board as the first superintendent of the Oregon insane asylum, when the state took direct charge of that institution, and he superintended the removal of the patients to Salem in October, 1883. During the three years and more in which he had charge of this immense caravansary he met and overcame successfully many difficulties, and throughout conducted the business affairs of the institution and cared for the patients with great tact and professional skill. He resigned in the spring of 1886, and resumed his residence in Salem, practicing his profession here until he died.

Dr. Carpenter was the practical founder of the medical department of Willamette university, and was its first dean. He was for years professor of surgery, and when he died was emeritus professor of surgery.

Dr. Carpenter was a physician of much professional skill and culture, and a man whose qualities won for him a large circle of friends. Having been identified with the upbuilding of the medical college of Willamette university, and having thoroughly systemized and placed on a smooth-running basis the operations of the Oregon insane asylum, his connection with both these institutions will cause his influence to be felt long after his death. He leaves a wife and three daughters -- Mrs. Geo A. Brodie, of Portland, and Mrs. A. E. Stang and Miss Mae Carpenter, of Salem. He was vice-president of the American Medical Society.

The funeral services will be conducted from the residence on Church street tomorrow (Sunday) at 2 p. m., under the auspices of Chemeketa Lodge No. 1, O.O.F, of which deceased was a member. Rev. P. S. Knight will officate.

OVER THE REMAINS OF EX-GOVERNOR CHADWICK

Funeral Ceremonies Under the Auspices of the Grand Lodge of Masons - Imposing Spectacle

The funeral of ex-governor Chadwick yesterday was one of the most remarkable held in Salem in many years. There were several circumstances mitigating against a large attendance: It was a business day; the strangers who has thronged the city for several days previously had departed for home the day before; the weather was miserable, being cold and damp; yet notwithstanding these facts, there was an immense gathering of men and women anxious to testify by their presence the esteem in which the dead statesman was held and the sorrow felt as his demise.

A little after 2 o'clock p. m., a stream of stalwart forms carrying emblems of their fraternal relations poured from the entrance to Masonic hall on commercial street and formed in marching order by twos, headed eastward on State street until nearly 150 members of the Masonic order were in line. They marched to the M. E. church and took their seats, the remainder of that large audience chamber being soon crowded with men and women, neighbors, friends and acquaintances of him whose final departure from earth was about to take place. Messrs. E. C. Giltner, H. J. Singleton, James H. Davis and H. S. Jordan, four young Masons, acted as ushers and handled the large assemblage without the slightest hitch or friction, although hundreds could not gain admittance.

At 2:30 the funeral cortege arrived from the residence. The casket was borne up the aisle and deposited in front of the rostrum by Dr. J. C. Griffith, Capt. Milton Meyers, D. J. Fry, Lee Steiner, John Bayne and A. H. Steiner, active pall-bearers, preceded by ex-Gov. Z. F. Moody, State Treasurer Phil Metschan, Judge J. C. Fullerton of Roseburg, Major Frank E. Hodgkin, F. C.Perrine, Jacob Mayer and John R. Foster of Portland, honorary pall-bearers. On the rostrum stood a beautiful floral execution being the motto of the 33rd degree Scottish Rite Masonry, consisting of a red triangle bearing the figures 33 surrounded by wreaths of white, purple and green, altogether forming what is called the double eagle. Besides this there were pillow of roses, lilies, and numerous varieties of flowers, also the square, compass and letter G, crescents, circles, stars and other designs appropriate and suggestive. The floral offerings were numerous, grand and costly; especially at this season.

Closely following the coffin, the bereaved widow was almost carried by the strong arms of two men, followed by the immediate relatives of the deceased in deep mourning. Immediately after these, Governor Lord, ex-Governor Pennoyer, chief Justice Bean, Justice Moore and wolverton and United States Senator Dolph entered and took seats in front.

Rev. Laurence Sinclair, rector of the Episcopal church, conducted the funeral services after the beautiful and impressive ritual of that church, during which the choir sang "Asleep in Jesus" and other appropriate selections. At the close, the funeral procession formed in front of the church, the mourners, the pall-bearers and numerous friends in carriages,, the members of the Masonic grand lodge in three large electric street cars and hundreds of Freemasons and others on foot.

At the entrance to Rural cemetery, south of the city, the members of the fraternity again formed in line behind the mourners' carriages and, notwithstanding the large number who were compelled to drop out as the procession was leaving the main part of the city, there were still ninety-eight in the march to the grave. The ceremonies on the part of the grand lodge were in charge of P. S. Malcolm of Portland, grand master, and associated with him were, Phil Metschan, deputy grand master; Senator W. H. Hobson, of Stayton, grand senior warden; George P. Litchfield, of Salem, acting grand treasurer; T. L. Wallace, grand junior warden; F. V. Drake, of Portland, acting grand secretary; J. M. Hodson, or Portland, grand senior deacon; G. E. Detmering, of Portland, grand junior deacon; J. M. Poorman, of Woodburn and S. M. Yoran, or Eugene, grand stewards; Lot Pearce, of Salem, acting grand sword bearer; M. W. Hunt, of Salem, acting grand standard bearer; J. O'Donald, of Salem, acting bible bearer; J. H. Roork, of Salem, acting chaplain; Gustaf Wilson, grand tyler.

At the grave, which is located well toward the southwest corner of the cemetery in a sightly spot, the Masonic burial service was conducted by Hon. George H. Durham, of Portland, and exactly as the town clock told off the hour of four the mortal remains of Stephen fowler Chadwick were consigned to a grave lined with evergreens and his casket was strewn with the choicest pickings from the flower gardens and the shrubbery to further attest that at every step no mark of deepest love and reverence would be neglected. The obsequies throughout were inspiring in their grandeur and earnestness and the friends and brothers who were present from Portland, Oregon City, Eugene, Roseburg, Albany, Independence, Woodburn, and other neighboring cities can feel that the love and respect which prompted their coming found ready response among the home neighbors who one and all revere the memory of the kind, charitable, benevolent Governor Chadwick.

A SUNDAY DROWNING--NORTH MILL CREEK DEMANDS ANOTHER VICTIM.--A child was drowned some time Sunday afternoon in the North Mill creek race, immediately above the state prison. It proved to be the son of R. C. (CORRECTION: A. R.) Rickard, aged 3 last April, who lives one-fourth of a mile east of the penitentiary, close to the race and an alarm was spread soon after 4 o'clock which brought some of the prison officials, guards and neighbors to the rescue. By shutting off the headgates and dragging the race the little fellow's body was recovered at 5 o'clock. It was thought the body had been in the water 3 hours and all hope of resuscitation was gone. The body was lodged against one of the spiles of a footbridge a little below where the child while playing is thought to have fallen into the race. This is a sad event for a large and poor family of hard-working people. They are lately from the east and entitled to a great deal of sympathy. The North Mill creek should be fenced so as to prevent the frequent recurrence of drownings.-----CAPITAL JOURNAL, Thursday, 6 October 1892, Salem, OR.

SALEM, Or., Aug. 20.--- Seized with an attack of heart failure, C. F. VanAllen, proprietor of the Eldridge Hotel, formerly a resident of Idaho and Montana, died last night at the hotel. He had been failing for over a year and had recently returned from Arkansas and California, where he went to benefit his health. He was talking to George Miller, a guest, when the attack came on, and his lat words were: "Send for a doctor; I am dying." Before medical aid could reach him he was dead. Besides his wife he leaves to survive him two daughters, Mrs. Edward Yenne and Miss Birdie VanAllen, both of this city. Funeral arrangements have not been made. He was born in Wisconsin in 1861.

Charles Freemont VanAllen died of heart failure, caused by cardiac asthma, on Tuesday, Aug. 19, 1913, at his residence, the Eldridge Hotel, Salem, aged 52 years.

The deceased was born in Crawford Co., Wisconsin, Dec. 7, 1861. His early life was spent on the farm, where he finished the common school course, which together with his natural ability, fitted him for a life of successful business.

In 1880(correction 1889), he was married to Abbie L. Farris, of the same county and state, and to this union were born four (correction 3) chidren -- one son and three (correction 2) daughters -- only two of whom survive the deceased, being Miss Birdie VanAllen and Mrs. Edward Yenne, of Salem. His son John preceded him to the Eternal City two years ago. He is also survived by his widow, by a mother and step-father, Mr. and Mrs. Frank A. Hart of Gay's mills, Wisconsin; a brother Warren VanAllen, of Nebraska; three step-sisters, Mrs. Luella Black, Mrs. Tacy Jones, and Mrs. Frank Brainard.

Soon after his marriage, he removed to Helena, Montana , where he engaged in railroading and later with a surveying party, remaining there some fifteen years; hence he went to Idaho, remaining one and one half years at the same kind of work.

In 1903, he moved to Silverton, Oregon, where he engaged in the hop business for some four years, and finally came to Salem, in 1907, purchasing the Eldridge Hotel on Commercial Street, where he successfully conducted the business for the past six years.

As a husband and father he was kind, considerate and ever solicitous of the welfare and happiness of his loved ones; as a neighbour he was highly esteemed for his noble qualities of mind and heart, and for his obliging and courteous manner; and as a business man, for his honestyof purpose of straighforward dealings; and finally, as a good citizen, for his public spirited interest in all matters pertaining to the betterment of society and business. He also possesed a charming personality, could tell a good story, and constantly looked after the comfort and convenience of his guests.

The funeral services were held at the undertaking parlours of Lehmen and Clough, Sunday Aug. 24, at 10 a.m. The exercises were conducted by the Rev. J. H. Irvine of the Jason Lee Memorial Church. His sermon was replete with beautiful thoughts on the duties we owe to our Christian faith, our goverment and our God. Mrs. Bean rendered admirably the hyms "Come Unto Me When Shadows Deeply Gather," and "Lead, Kindly Light." The text was from St. John, Chapter XIV, the first verse.

The Salem Lodge of W. O. W. then took charge of the services, with the Messrs. Charles Jaquette, W.G. Prunk, Geo. E. Trescott, Geo. Rheinschl, ____r Xoho and H.R. McWhorter as pall bearers. The remains were followed to the City Veiw Cemetary by a large concourse of relatives and sympathizing friends. The closing exercises at the cemetary were consoling, highly instructive and appropriate.

And thus has passed from earth to its eternal reward a soul which will long be mourned by relatives, and not soon be forgotten by many true and sincere friends.

A FRIEND.

 VAN ALLEN FALLS DEAD

SALEM HOTEL PROPIETOR ASKS FOR DOCTOR, EXPIRES

Fatal Stroke of Heart Disease Follows Chat With Friend of Boyhood Days.

 Salem, Or., Aug, 20(Special)

"Send for a doctor; I am dying!" gasped Charles Fremont Van Allen, propietor of the Eldridge Hotel, and one of the best known men in the Willamette Valley, as he fell dead tonight in the arms of George Miller.

Mr. Van Allen had not been in good health for some time, and recently returned from a vacation in Arkansas.

Coroner Clough, after an investigation, said heart disease caused death.

Mr. Van Allen and J.H. McDonald, who were boyhood friends, talked about their early experiences in Crawford County, Wisconsin, for about an hour this evening, and when they parted the hotel man seemed to be as well as he had been for some time. He died in the rear of the hotel.

He is survived by his widow, who was Miss Abbie L. Farris, of Prairie du Chien, Wis., and two daughters, Mrs. Edward Yenne and Miss Birdie Van Allen, of this city. Several brothers and sisters live in Wisconsin.

Mr. Van Allen was engaged in the timber business in Idaho and Montana for several years, and before coming to this city had a hop ranch near Silverton.
