Obituary: Former Engineer Dies in Oregon Walker Range, 78, of Eugene, Oregon, former county construction engineer, died Wednesday, December 14, at a Eugene hospital where he had been a patient since November 23. Death was caused by coronary disease. Mr. Walker was born near Dayton on March 23, 1888, the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. George Range both early pioneers of the county. He was a graduate of Dayton High School and the school of civil engineering at the University of Washington where he was affiliated with Phi Upsilon fraternity. He worked as an engineer in Alaska, California, Oregon and Washington. In 1917 he enlisted in World War I and served two years in France with Co. C, 116th Engineers. His Range ancestors served in all American wars through the Revolution and Colonial wars, having come to America from France in the 17th century. His son served in World War II. After returning to Dayton, Mr. Range and Miss Clara Arthur of McMillville, Oregon were married and lived for a time in Dayton where he did engineering work for the city of Dayton, Columbia county and the state of Washington highway system.

Later he moved to Walla Walla where he was associated with a concrete pipe company and construction engineer for the Lewiston Dam. In 1930 he moved to Eugene, Oregon, where he started a service station supply company which he operated until 1959 when ill health forced his retirement.
