Dear group:

where he lived at, etc.

Christian Nininger departed this life, May 17th, 1883.  He was born Dec. 8th,
1808, in Virginia, but lived for a number of years in Kansas.  For the last
three years he has been a resident of Oregon.  He come to this place nearly
one year ago, where he lived up to this death.  He had complained for a day
or two of feeling ill, but was not so sick but he could be about the house as
usual.
  Wednesday night, about one o’clock, he complained of feeling chilly, and
got up to start a fire.  Sitting down on a chair, he suddenly fell forward,
and when his wife had lifted him into the chair, she found that his spirit
had fled to Him that gave it.  He was buried on Friday.
  In his short stay here he had gained many warm friends, who regret his
sudden death. He leaves a family of several children and a dear companion to
mourn their loss; but they mourn not as those who have no hope. May the lord
cheer them on their way.  E. R. Wimer
