Woman is Foully Murdered In Lonely Cabin
Corvallis, Or., June
5 – Mrs. Eliza Griffith, aged 56, living on a
farm five miles
from Philomath, Or., and 13 miles from Corvallis, was
murdered by
some one unknown Friday night and her body thrown into
rock
creek. Before being thrown into the creek she had been strangled
with a rope. The rope was still on her body when found.
Saturday morning the body was found, disclosing one of the most
dreadful tragedies the Willamette Valley has witnessed. Dozens of
residents quickly gathered from the nearby farms and their tracks
destroyed much of the evidence so that it is not yet clear whether
she
was killed at the house and dragged to the creek. The body
was found
a quarter mile from the house

Former Resident
Dies
County Treasurer W. Y. King received a telegram
yesterday forenoon announcing the death of his sister, Mrs. Dr.
Kuyger, at the family home near Corvallis. He thought
he would go down to attend the funeral but after making calculations
found he could not reach there in time unless he could catch the
morning train out of Bend, and not being familiar with the road out
that way, decided to not go. Mrs. Kuyger was at one
time a resident of this county in the early days, residing in the
Diamond section. (The Times-Herald (Burns, OR) Saturday, April 17,
