"Departed this life, in McMinnville, Oregon, July 24th, 1866, J. H. Pruett, of consumption; aged 46 years. He, with his family, crossed the Plains in '47, in search of health, and finding here a salubrious climate, he settled on a farm, pursuing a quiet and happy life; being known as a devoted father, an affectionate husband and a respected citizen, by all who knew him. He had long been a Deacon in the Baptist Church, and bore his protracted sickness with Christian patience and resignation; and being apprised of approaching death, he made every arrangement for the comfort of his family, gave directions concerning his burial and funeral, chose his minister, and then calmly fell asleep in the arms of Jesus."
