Pneumonia Claims One More -
Sunday morning at 7 o'clock Thomas S. Terndrup, after a two week's illness, breathed his last at the American Hotel, death resulting from pneumonia. Saturday evening, it is stated, the unfortunate man seemed much better, but during the night he took a turn for the worse and died in a few hours. Deceased was a native of Denmark, aged 40 years, and at one time was a lieutenant in the Danish Army. He came to Ferndale less than a year ago from Tillamook, Oregon, in company with John Ericksen, finding employment for a time with O. Andreasen, of the Ferndale Mechanical Shop. Of late he has been working for the Ferndale Electric Light Co., and was a steady and industrious man. His only known relative is a daughter living at Lafayette, Oregon, and to her goes his $1000 life insurance in the Woodmen of the World, he being a member of the Ferndale Camp of that order. When informed of his illness, the members of the Ferndale Camp saw to it that he was properly cared for, and will conduct his funeral, which takes place this afternoon.
*He was actually 43, nearing his 44th birthday.
