OBITUARY:
Griffith-Luthy
Bury Pioneers – Two Prominent Men Laid to Rest in Warren Cemetery – L.C. Griffith and Peter Luthy Funerals Held – Had Grown Up Together – Many Present at Services. – A coincidence in the recent death of two prominent pioneers, L.C. Griffith and Peter Luthy, both of whom resided in the Waldo Hills up to a few months ago on adjoining farms, was the burial services yesterday afternoon at 2 o’clock in the old Warren Cemetery, when the remains of the two friends and neighbors were laid to rest beside relatives and friends of the Waldo Hills vicinity.
Rev. P.S. Knight officiated at the funeral services of Mr. Griffith at the family residence in the Waldo Hills at 1 o’clock yesterday. A large number of friends and relatives were present and many beautiful floral offerings were received. The pallbearers were A. Jones, J. C. Currie, E. May, W. Kissling, H. Thompson, and J. Jones.
Funeral services were held from the Peter Luthy residence at 1497 South Thirteenth Street in this city at 10:30 o’clock yesterday morning. Rev. H. Leinkemper of the German Reformed Church officiated. The floral offerings were especially beautiful and were conveyed to the cemetery by a special floral vehicle. The pall bearers were: W. M. Siegmund, L. Hobson, H. S. Bosshardt, R. C. Arpke, J. Tussele, and R. Andregg.
Nestling in a niche in the Waldo Hills, a little grassy plot of ground holds the earthly remains of many of Oregon’s most respected pioneers. Here neighbors of the Waldo Hills who had grown up together and had become lifelong friends are buried side by side. The rusty little gate was opened yesterday to admit two funeral corteges and when sorrowing friends and relatives left the little burying ground two more honored men rested beside friends of former years, years of the axe and hammer when rough logs were hewn in a wilderness of firs and crude cabins erected in the clearings.
Not for years had the little cemetery witnessed such a crowd of people as assembled there yesterday for the commitment services of the two almost universally beloved men.
Oregon Statesman 29 Nov 1913.
