All of the children reside In his city with the exception of Guy, who is at present in New York. Sketch of His Life. Besides being a staunch citizen of this city, Edward Hirsch was one of tne representative men of Oregon. He has held several offices of public trust and was always found loyal and efficient. He was an lionorabl? business man and because of his great heart and social, genial naturo he was quick to recognize true wor h Jji others. Everywhere these quali ties have won for him warm regard, and it is safe to say that few men In Oregon had more warm friends than Edward Hirsch. He has been a resldont of this state since 1858. His father was Sampson Hirsch and in the family -were ton childron, six o f he number becoming residents of Oregon. v Edward Hirsch was born May 3, 183G, in Hohoback, Wurtemberg. Germany, and when only 9 years of age was left an orphan. He then left his native village and went to Essllngen, where he resided for flvo years, during that tlmo acquiring a good common school education. At the age of 19, In 1855, he sailed for America, attracted by he possibili ties and opportunities of tlio new wonld. Accompanied by his brother Solo jnon he arrived In Salem in 1853, 'i practically no capital, but he 3iml good credit, and the two bro thers opened a general mercantile store under the ntme of E. & S. Hirsch In Dallas, Polk county, which place then contained a populaton of 100. In 1868 Mr. Hirsch was mar ried In Salem and made his home Iiere. A firm under tho namo of Herman & Hirsch, transacting raor--oantlle business, was started In Sa lem and maintained continuously and successfully for ten years, whan Ed ward Hirsch was elected to tho of fice of staty treasurer In 1878. Ha was nominated on the republican tlokot and Mr. IIIrsch'K election wan ' the beginning of republican success ! in this state. He took the oath of office in September, 1878, and filled the position so acceptably and hon HOI IDAY HIRSGH OF 0RE60N orably that in 1882 he was re-nominated and re-elected. Taking office with a million-dollar debt and seven mills state taxes, when he quit the taxes had been re duced to less than two mills on the dollar and he turned over to his suc cessor one-half millions ol dollar.? hi gold coin. This is rceo'il' l ac Lo in ; the best finn-Miil l.r.uory in Ove- .i. Mr. Hirsch then retired fromofflce until he wns induced by his P'iilo.' citize;K to accept the stn ?. si-aior ship, to which position he was elected in 1890, serving in the ses sions of 1891 and 1893. In IXifc Edward HIr. l was appo n .r d post master of Saem by the Inte I'vibi dent McKi'Ce; , taking charge of that office Ai.gi h 1 5th of that ymi , aim in July, 102 he was i? appointed by President Roosevelt.,' in 1SCS Mr. Hirsch was m.-rried to Miss Nettle Davis, who v.v born in Prussia, and in 1SC7, wiia hor parents, became a resident jf Drowns Lyille, Linn county. Mr. Hirsch belonged to I'licmoko ta Lodge No. 1, I. O O. 1'., of which ho is past noble guu.l, .uidto t!ie Willamette Encam impnl, of- which ho is past chief patriarch. Edward Hirsch was one of those broad-minded men who did not make tho search of wealth his solo object In life. Ho found time to aid his state, to faithfully discharge his duties, and to throw around him much of the sunshine of llfo which comes from a genial nature, a kindly dispo sition from deforence for opinion of others, and from a recognition of worth with those with whom ho had been brought in contact. Edward Hirsch was all his life a staunch adherent of tho old Hebrew faith. While tolerant of all other religious beliefs, ho was a man "of few words and a deep thinker on all lines. Ho made and won friends by his loving kindness toward all with whom he came in contact. If ho had cause to bo embittered over any one he kept it to himself, and sweet oned tho disappointments of life by always taking the brighter and bet ter views evon toward those who did him an Injury. Ho was tho soul of devotion to 'his wife and children, and toward all who In any way wore dependent upon him, or In any way rejled upon him In any of tho duties and relationships of life. The funeral stervlcos will be held at the Willamette Hotel, Friday at 10 o'clock, conduqted by Dr. Jonas B. Wise, of Portland.
