G.O. Haller scrapbook, 1889-1897.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/264761454

The G.O. Haller scrapbook contains primarily obituaries and other newspaper clipping documenting the deaths of members of Haller's family. The majority of the volume consists of reports of the 1889 boating accident off the coast of Whidbey Island that took the lives of Haller's eldest son, G. Morris Haller, his cousin, Edward Louis Cox (1867-1889), and his friend, Dr. T.T. Minor, as well as notices of their subsequent funerals and tributes from the community. The remainder of the scrapbook is taken up with obituaries of other Haller family members, including Benjamin F. Haller. A final, lengthier section covers the death of G.O. Haller, with numerous obituaries, testimonials, and memorial service programs. Contained in a commercial Mark Twain's scrapbook (published by Daniel Slote & Co.), it is likely that the volume was compiled by G.O. Haller's wife, Henrietta Haller, or another member of the Haller family.
