"Pioneer Woman Who Died Recently at Hood River"
   Friends, neighbors and relatives paid their last respects yesterday to another of Oregon's pioneers, Mrs. Harriet Hald, native of Illinois. With her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Matthew Hall, she crossed the plains by ox cart in 1847 and settled at Oregon City.
   Mrs. Hald and her husband Henry C. Hald, came to Hood River in 1894.  The latter died 13 years ago.
   Six daughters survive the pioneer.  They are:  Mrs. W. S. Hull, Mrs. Zora Dimmick, Hood River; Mrs. Harriett G. McCoy, Bellevue, Idaho; Mrs. Emma Tate, of Baker; Mrs. Helen Edmonson, The Dalles, and Mrs. Nettie Hamilton, of Odessa, Wash.
   Thirty-seven grandchildren and 30 great-grandchildren survive this pioneer woman.
