Services Held Monday For Frank D. Slawson; Came Here in 1890 and Lived on Mission Creek
Funeral services for Frank D. [eloss] Slawson, 81, were held Monday with Rev. R. C. Davis of the Full Gospel Assembly officiating. Slawson, one of the oldest of Cashmere pioneers, was killed instantly Friday near Peshastin when a tree fell on him. His death was more tragic because the tree was felled by his grandson, Leland.
Slawson had been staying here with his granddaughter, Mrs. Joe Wiggins, but had gone to Peshastin to visit his grandson, when Mrs. Wiggins made a recent trip to the coast.
Surviving are one daughter, Mrs. Audrid Wilson of West Seattle; one son, Earl, of Oakland, Cal., six grandchildren and four great grandchildren.
During the services Mrs. Ralph Baker and Loyd Simpson sang, with Simpson at the organ. Pallbearers were Guy Long, Charles Waters, Hal McManus, Fred and Ed Abeling and George Fasken. Services were in charge of the Kuelbs Funeral Home with interment in the Cashmere cemetery.
Slawson, who with Mrs. Slawson had been a resident of Mission creek valley since 1890, was a native of Delaware county, New York. He came from a patriotic family, three generations preceding him, who participated respectively in wars of the Revolution, 1812 , and the Civil war. When eight years of age he moved with his parents to Minnesota and in the course of a few years came to Montana, where his parents had preceded him. Subsequently he tried his fortune in the Black Hills country.
He married Delilah C. Moore, a native of Iowa, but whose parents were born in the state of Kentucky. Slawson's father, Eben, located on Mission creek in 1888 and purchased a section of railroad land. Mr. and Mrs. Slawson, Sr., passed away many years ago. Mrs. Slawson passed away here several years ago.
In the pioneer celebration staged by the local Chamber of Commerce some time ago, Slawson was one of the four oldest pioneers attending the affair.
