FUNERAL TOMORROW
The funeral services over the remains of the late Peter Gellatly will be held at the family home, five miles from Corvallis on the Philomath road, Saturday at 10 o’clock.

He came to America from Scotland when 17 years of age, spent some time in Wisconsin, then in California, and finally came to Benton county in 1875 and had lived continuously on the farm on which he died.
A widow and five children are left — Edward, Francis and George C. Gellatly, and Mrs. Perry Holderman. Peter was a brother of the late Andrew Gellatly, father of Sheriff W.A. Gellatly, and Robert.
The burial Saturday will be in the Mt. Union cemetery.
