"Linn Pioneer is Dead"
Albany, Or., Aug. 27

   Mrs. Julia A. Thomas, who died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. M. Hill, at Hood River, this morning, was one of Linn County's earliest pioneers.  She resided in this section of the state for many years and her eight children are now prominent in various activities throughout Oregon and Washington.
   Born in Canada 92 years ago, Mrs. Thomas crossed the plains to Oregon in 1852.  She and her husband, Argalus Thomas, settled near Halsey, Linn County, and resided there until Mr. Thomas' death, in 1879.
