STONE, GORDON
KILLED BY AUTOMOBILE

H. Gregory received a telegram from Anita, Iowa, announcing the death of his brother-in-law, Gordon E. Stone, who was struck by an automobile. The time of the funeral services were announced for Tuesday.

Mr. Stone owned the ranch north of town formerly occupied by Cy Anderson and usually made a trip at least once a year to Payette to look after his property interests.

PARDUNN, STEPHEN ARNOLD
Community Saddened by Death of Long time Resident

Stephen Arnold ParDunn was born April 4, 1863 at Farmington, Nebraska, and passed away at his home just east of Fruitland at six thirty o'clock Monday morning, March 7, 1927, death being caused by heart trouble and other complications. He had been ill since January 1st and confined to his bed and for awhile his illness was critical but he seemed to improve and his neighbors thought him getting well. Only the immediate family and his physician knew his grave condition the past few days so his death brought surprise and sorrow to his friends. Mr. ParDunn was big hearted and kind and to those who know him only words of sympathy and kindness are heard over the death of a friend. He had lived here nineteen years, one of the oldest Fruitland residents and he will be greatly missed. The funeral will be held Friday at 2:30 at the home. Loving sympathy is extended to those left, his wife and two daughters, Mrs. Gertrude Young, and Mrs. Josephine Wheeler, both of Fruitland, and the granddaughter, June Young who has made her home with her grandparents.

Obituary

Stephen Arnold Douglas Pardunn was born April 4, 1863 in Farmington, Illinois. He lived here until a young man, when he moved with his parents to Nebraska City, Nebraska. From here he went to Iowa where he spent one year, and then went back to Illinois. In 1890 he was married at Abbingdon to Miss Alice May Quinn of Landon Mills. He lived here two years, and then moved near Kearney, Nebraska, where he made his home until 1908, when he came to Fruitland where he has resided since. He united with the Evangelical church at Odessa, Nebraska in 1906 and took an active part in the same. Upon coming to Fruitland he aided in the building of the Brethren, Baptist, and Methodist churches, as neither of the three were built at that time. He had been a sufferer of rheumatism for 19 years and bore his suffering patiently, all the time hoping for some relief. His last illness was of nine weeks duration, when he suffered intensely with the flu, bronchitis, pleurisy, inflammatory rheumatism, and all the time a very bad heart, which was the immediate cause of his death. He was a big hearted and kind man always wanting to help those who needed help in any way and was always working for others in spite of the ill health he had and was borely ablest to do his own work. Only those who knew him best can realize the loss and sorrow that is caused by his going. He passed quietly away while sleeping, on Monday morning, March 7, at 6:30. He leaves to mourn his loss his wife and two daughters, Mrs. Gertrude Young and Mrs. Josephine Wheeler, (one son and one daughter preceding him in infancy) one granddaughter, Alice June Young; four sisters, Mrs. Delia Breen of Belgrade, Nebraska; Mrs. Julia Reeves of Fullerton, Nebraska, Mrs. Lina Cozard of Saliz, Iowa; and Mrs. Mary McCoy of Farmington, Ill., two brothers, David Pardunn of New Richmond, West Virginia and Isaac Pardunn of Gresham, Ore., besides a host of friends.

We are lonely here without you,
Yet we know you are at rest,
And we all shall hope to meet you,
Over there where souls are blest.

STROTHER, WILLIAM
William F. Strother was born in the state of Kentucky July 17, 1876, and died at the Veterans' Hospital in Boise March 31, 1927, at the age of 50 years, 8 months and 19 days.

He first came to Payette about 21 years ago and engaged in the jewelry and optical business. Later he worked in Salt Lake City for several years and a few years ago returned to Payette to continue his old business. He was married May 23, 1922, to Edna Bean, of Cascade, Idaho, and the bereaved wife and two sisters, Mrs. Louisa Smith, of Emmett, and Mrs. Robert Murray, of Ontario, Oregon, and one brother, Luther Strother, of Ontario, survive him.

Mr. Strother was a Spanish-American war veteran, having served with distinction as a corporal in Company B, Signal Corps. He was also a member in good standing in the I.O.O.F. and Masonic ledges.

Funeral services were held in the Veteran Hospital at Boise Sunday afternoon and were conducted by the Spanish-American veterans. Interment took place at Morris Hill cemetery at Boise.

Mr. Strother had been in very poor health for several years, his trouble being pernicious anemia and although he received every possible attention he grew weaker as the months passed and finally became incapacitated for his work and went to the hospital where death ensued. He was at all times a good citizen, and when at himself was a man of more than ordinary ability and a great reader. His death is deeply deplored by all, and our sympathy goes out to those left to mourn. (Morris Hill Cemetery, Boise, Ada County, Idaho)

It is with deepest regret that we announce the death, at an early hour this morning, of Mrs. Jennie B. Peterman, mother of J. G. Peterman, one of the proprietors of the Independent. Mrs. Peterman, who has been living at La Grande, Oregon, was recently taken to a hospital there and it was developed that she was suffering from cancer of the stomach.

With smiling countenance and gentleness of heart she scattered sunshine in her path and to know her was to love her.

WOODWARD, JENNIE
DEATH OF MRS. JENNIE WOODWARD

In the death of Mrs. Jennie Woodward, mother of Dr. I. R. Woodward and Dr. J. C. Woodward of this city, there has been called to her reward one of those consecrated souls whose very presence radiated the nobleness of her Christian character. Until nature gave way a few months ago, and she was compelled to give up attendance upon public service, she could be found in her accustomed place in the Methodist church communing with her Savior and enjoying the preaching of God's word. Her's was indeed a life of service and devotion.

Jennie Bell was born in Hagarstown, Maryland, July 17, 1837, and passed from this life at 2:30 a. m. Saturday morning, April 16, 1927, at the ripe old age of 89 years, 8 months and 29 days. In her early girlhood her family moved to northern Illinois where, on April 6, 1863, she was married to Israel Woodward, and lived in ideal union with him until the date of his death which occurred in Denver, Colorado, on April 19, 1902. Three sons were born to this family, one of whom, Burton Woodward, died at the age of two years.

In 1904 Mrs. Woodward came to live with her sons and she has made her home here ever since. Funeral services were held at the Methodist church Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock and were conducted by her pastor, Rev. Vernon E. Hall. Her remains were taken to Denver for burial and were accompanied by her sons. Many old friends met the remains when they arrived at Denver, among them her old pastor of thirty years ago from Idaho Springs, near Denver, who conducted brief services at the grave. She was laid to rest in Riverside cemetery beside her husband, just 25 years to a day from the date of his death.

The Independent extends deepest sympathy to the Woodward families. Their loss has been truly great, as she was a true mother, deeply loving, forever constant and ever faithful. (Riverside Cemetery)

MCGLINCHEY, MARY
MRS. M'GLINCHEY CALLED BY DEATH
WOMAN OF RARE PERSONALITY AND WONDERFUL LEADERSHIP CALLED FROM A LIFE OF GREAT USEFULNESS.

We deeply regret to announce the death of Mrs. May E. McGlinchey which took place at her residence in Payette in the early hours of Saturday, July 2nd. Although for the last few years Mrs. McGlinchey had been largely confined to her home yet the end came quite suddenly and she had only been ill for a few days. Pneumonia was the cause of death.

The deceased lady was probably the most outstanding personality of the Payette Valley and no one entered more fully into the life of the community during the many years of her residence here than she did and even after she was prevented by physical disability from her wonted activity her interest was none the less keen and she followed closely all local events and happenings. She was of a most versatile nature and possessed a keen wit which was the delight of her many friends and of those who were fortunate enough to hear her speak at meetings when she charmed her audiences with her originality and clever repartee. Above all she possessed a great heart and her generosity showed itself in many unostentatious acts of gracious kindness. She had exceptional powers of leadership and the history of the various societies of which she was a member is largely the story of her life.

May E. Noggle was the daughter of Judge David Noggle, United States Judge of Wisconsin, and she was born at Beloit, Wisconsin on March 8th, 1846. In 1860 Judge Noggle was appointed Chief Justice of Idaho and the family came to live in Boise. Shortly afterwards Miss Noggle married Major Alvord who was U. S. Marshall at that time. Major Alvord died in California in 1876. In 1878 Mrs. Alvord married John McGlinchey at San Francisco, Cal. and resided with him in various parts of Idaho, coming to Payette in the eighties. Mr. McGlinchey died in 1919. Mrs. McGlinchey is survived by two children, Mr. D. D. Alvord of Twin Falls and Mrs. May Gilmore of Payette.

Mrs. McGlinchey was for many years President of the Portia Club and always has been a leading spirit in that organization. She was also President of the Womans Relief Corps and Worthy Matron of the Eastern Star in whose doings she played a leading part and maintained a keen interest right up to the last. She was a communicant of the Episcopal Church into which she had been baptized in infancy subsequently being confirmed by the noted Bishop Kemper at Beloit, Wis., in girlhood. Largely owing to her efforts and determination the present Episcopal church of St. James' was built in 1893. There were only three communicants of the Episcopal church in Payette at that time, the others being Mrs. A. B. Moss and Mrs. Say, and to the efforts of these three devoted women the present generation of church people owe much. At the time Bishop Talbot -- now Bishop of Bethlehem in Pennsylvania and the oldest Bishop in the Episcopal Church - was Bishop of Idaho and he permitted Mrs. McGlinchey to make the final selection of the name of the church which is known as St. James' to-day.

Funeral services were held at the Episcopal church at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning and were conducted by Rev. Thos. Ashworth, rector. He said it was not the custom in his church to preach a funeral sermon, but he made a few appropriate remarks and read the following favorite poem of the deceased:

Once it was painful trying
Now 'tis perfect trust
Once a half salvation
Now, the uttermost
Once 'twas careless holding
Now, He holds me fast
Once 'twas constant drifting
Now, my anchor's east.

We think of death as destroying
Let us rather think of Christ as saving
We think of life as ending,
Let us think of it as gaining,
We think of it as losing
Let us think of it as gaining,
As parting, it is meeting
As going, it is arriving
We hear Christ's voice
"You are but coming to Me."

The remains were layed away in Riverside cemetery and were followed to their last resting place by a large concoarse of friends who deeply mourn with the son and daughter the loss of one whose life had been a guiding star to so many. (Riverside Cemetery)

CANTANZANO, MRS.
MRS. PALUMBO'S MOTHER KILLED

The sad news of the accidental killing in an automobile accident, of Mrs. C. Palumbo, reached Payette Monday. As Mr. and Mrs. Palumbo were in Portland at the time the word was sent them there, and Mrs. Palumbo and the children at once took the train for the east.

About two weeks ago Mr. Palumbo received word of the illness of his father at Logansport, Indiana, and of the illness of Mrs. Cantanzano's father, Mr. Joseph Seminari, of Louisville, Kentucky, and he and Mrs. Cantanzano went east at that time. Mr. Palumbo returned home as his father was better and Mrs. Cantanzano remained with her father who passed away. As the funeral party was going from Louisville to Logansport, where interment was to take place a car ran into the one occupied by Mrs. Cantanzano and she was instantly killed and another lady occupant of the car was severely injured.

It is indeed a severe blow to Mrs. Palumbo to lose both her mother and grandfather within a couple of days and she certainly has the sympathy of her Payette friends in her hour of grief.

HAMMACK, GENEVA GERTRUDE
MRS. HAMMACK PASSES AWAY

Geneva Gertrude Trevey was born near Auburn, Lincoln County, Missouri, in 1877. She was united in marriage to A. S. Hammack, of Elseberry, Missouri, on September 5th, 1895. Mr. and Mrs. Hammack came to Idaho in 1908, where they have since lived, their home being near New Plymouth.

Mrs. Hammack was taken to the Ontario hospital a short time ago when it was thought that a surgical operation might benefit her. She survived an operation but it was impossible to remove the cause of her long standing affliction, and she passed to her reward in the early morning of August 17th, 1927. She left a husband, four sisters and five brothers. Two sisters and three brothers living in the west are, Mrs. S. D. Riggs, Emmett, Idaho; Mrs. W. B. Sims, Payette, Idaho; J. B. Trevey, Fruitland, Idaho; W. C. Trevey, Nampa, Idaho and W. B. Trevey, La Grande, Oregon. The sisters and two brothers live in Missouri.

Funeral services today (Thursday) at ten o'clock a. m. at the Congregational church in New Plymouth, conducted by the venerable Rev. Knight, and interment made in the New Plymouth cemetery.

It is given to comparatively few people to endure the suffering that Mrs. Hammack has borne during the past three years of here affliction, near one half of which time she was practically helpless. And it is given to few people to bear the suffering she felt with the fortitude with which she bore it.

Loving relations and friends and nurses, under the guidance of faithful physicians, ministered to her in the best manner that science knows, and with the touch of tenderness felt only by friends, until the angel of mercy, disguised as death, carried her to a better land. (Parkview Cemetery)

KUTCH, BECKFORD
AN OLD FRIEND GONE

The entire southeast district was shocked to learn of the sudden death Monday afternoon of Beckford Kutch. Death resulted from the third attack of heart failure.

Mr. Kutch who lived at 205 Grand avenue, Walnut Park, was 69 years old last July. He had made his home in Walnut Park for the past six years and although retired from active business he had an unusually keen mind and took a deep interest in local affairs. Many of the improvements that have been made in Walnut Park in recent years were made to conform to his analytical ideas for he could readily tell if improvements were to be equal to their cost or if the property owner would eventually lose.

He had a genial, wholesome personality that had won him a host of friends. He leaves a wife and one son, Rolf Kutch, whose home is on Hill street. His brother, Robert Kutch and his wife of Salem, Oregon, arrived in Walnut Park yesterday.

The funeral of Mr. Kutch will be held from the Wheat Undertaking Parlors, 248 South Seville, at 2 p. m. Friday afternoon. Interment will be at Inglewood cemetery - Huntington Park (California) Advertiser.

Mr. Beckford Kutch was for many years one of the prominent and substantial citizens of Weiser, and had many friends in the vicinity of Payette who will regret to learn of his death. The editor of the Independent counted him as one of his best friends and enjoyed a very pleasant visit with him when he was here on a visit from California a year or so ago. He was a rare personality, and he was ever thoughtful of the welfare of his fellowmen. We join sincerely with the grief stricken wife and son in lamenting the taking away of one we always held in the highest esteem.

SHOVELL, W. L.
MALHEUR COUNTY AGENT KILLS SELF
W. L. SHOVELL, OF ONTARIO, TOOK POISON IN PACIFIC HETEL ROOM AT HUNTINGTON FRIDAY MORNING

The community was somewhat shocked Friday morning when the word was received that W. L. Shovel, county agent of Malheur county, Oregon with headquarters at Ontario, had committed suicide between 7 and 9 o'clock that morning, in a room in the Pacific hotel at Huntington.

Mr. Shovel registered at the hotel Thursday night and was heard moving about in the room Friday morning. As he did not respond to a call the proprietor went to the room about 9:30 o'clock and found him dead. A note addressed to George Aikin, editor of the Ontario Argus, asking him to notify Mrs. Shovel of his death. The note contained other matter which was not revealed, but was turned over to Mr. Aiken as per instructions.

There are many rumors afloat as to the cause of the rash act, most of which are probably conjecture. He, however, is known to have been in financial difficulties and undoubtedly took his life rather than face conditions which confronted him.

The dead man leaves a wife and two children, and his suicide is a great shock to them. He was a graduate of the Oregon Agricultural College, and was a man of talent. He had a wonderful voice and had appeared before many Payette audiences many times. He stood high in the estimation of the people of this city and his death, particularly under the unfortunate circumstances, is deeply regretted.

William Uren, one of Payette's substantial business men, passed away at the Holy Rosary Hospital at Ontario, Monday, at 5 o'clock a. m., of an organic trouble.

Frederick William Senkbeil, son of Mr. and Mrs. August Senkbeil of this city, and a senior in the Payette high school, was fatally wounded while hunting on an island in the Snake river, north of town about 1 o'clock P. M. Saturday.

The boys who accompanied him hurried to the Idaho side of the river and administered first aid the best they could and started to town.

COUGHANOUR, GALENA
MRS. COUGHANOUR CALLED IN DEATH
PROMINENT PIONEER RESIDENT OF PAYETTE SUCCUMBED TO LINGERING ILLNESS MONDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 7

The whole city was deeply moved on Monday afternoon when it became known that Mrs. William A. Coughanour had passed away. The deceased lady had failed very markedly during the last few months but she had borne a long and painful illness with great courage and the gentle patience that was so characteristic of her.

Mrs. Coughanour, formerly Galena Bunting, was born at Belle Vernon, Pennsylvania, on May 22nd, 1817 and was married to Mr. W. A. Coughanour at Belle Vernon on March 8th, 1874. The newly married couple made their first home at Quartzburg, Idaho where Mr. Coughenour was the owner of the Gold Hill Mine. In 1885 they moved to Boise and thence to Payette in 1886, where for more than forty years they have been amongst the most prominent citizens in the community.

For many years Mrs. Coughanour was a member of the Portia Club and worked untiringly in every movement for the benefit of the community. She belonged to the order of the Rebeccas and was the recipient of the highest honors in their power to bestow. Her activities in the Lodge had taken her to many parts of the State and beyond and her friends are to be found far and wide. To her the obligations of the sisterhood were no mere sentiment but were founded upon fundamental principals of truth and were therefore to be followed in daily life. To all with whom she came in contact she gave lavishly of her kindness and gentleness and so gained not merely their esteem, but what is so much more, their love. Among the Rebeccas the benediction of her presence will not be soon forgotten.

Mrs. Coughanour was a Communicant of St. James Church and from its early days was one of the church's most faithful workers. For many years she was secretary of St. James Guild and only resigned when the passing of the years convinced her that she could no longer perform the duties as effectively as in the past. She still continued in active membership however and ill-health alone prevented her attendance at the meetings. In her church worship she was most devout and her soul tasted to the full of the joy of worship. No one could more truly say than she "I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord." Shortly before her death she received the last Sacraments of the church and joined in the familiar words of the office she knew and loved so well. Thus in life she found the source of the power which made her strong and which gave her wisdom, so that her counsel was always wise and comforting, and a loyalty to her church, her family and her friends which never failed. Gentleness and kindness marked her path through life - a path which shall indeed "shine more and more unto the perfect day."

Funeral services were held at St. James' church Wednesday at 10 o'clock A. M., and were conducted by Rev. Thomas Ashworth, rector. Interment took place at Riverside cemetery. (Riverside Cemetery)

GARDNER, LOLA
Leora Esther Eldredge was born in Morris County, Kansas, September 11, 1897. In 1909 she came with her parents Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Eldredge to Idaho where they lived on a farm near Fruitland. She graduated from the Fruitland High School with the class of 1917. January 6, 1918 she married Amos A. Garnder, of Payette. To this union were born five children, Byron, Eugene, Jack, Helen and Baby Kenneth. In giving life to Kenneth the supreme sacrifice of motherhood was made. She died December 22, 1927 at 9:40 p.m. being at the age of 30 years, 3 months and 11 days. How applicable is the scripture of 1 Timothy 2:15, "Not-withstanding she shall be saved in childbearing if they continue in faith, charity and holiness with sobriety."

Besides her husband and little ones she leaves her parents, 7 sisters and six brothers. Brothers and sisters of the deceased are as follows: Mrs. Mary Burnett, of Wilder, Idaho; George Eldredge, of Delta, Ohio; Mrs. C. H. Sargent, Mrs. E. B. Sargent, Mrs. Oliver Bingaman, Mrs. Harry Curtis and Frank Eldredge, of Fruitland; Leon Eldredge, of Delta, Utah; Mrs. Lyle Brown, of Boise, Idaho; Tom Eldredge, of Corvallis, Oregon; Fred and Glen Eldredge, of South Bend, Indiana; and Mrs. John Metzler, of Burbon, Indiana.

For the past six years the Gardner family have been living in Oregon, with the exception of one year spent in California. Since August they have been living in Fruitland.

Lola as she was known by her friends was of quiet disposition, a good mother and a true friend. At the age of 13 years she publicly confessed her Christ and united with the church of the Brethren. Her Faith in the Infinite was manifested when on the evening before her death she asked to be anointed with oil and be prayed for according to the scripture of James 5. Her last words expressed confidence and peace as glimpses of a fairer land seemed to be visualized before her.

Funeral services were held from the Brethren church Sunday morning at 11 o'clock, conducted by Rev. H. G. Shank and the body laid to rest in Riverside Cemetery in Payette. The many beautiful flowers, and the large crowd of sorrowing friends who attended the services, were as tokens of the high esteem in which this beloved woman was held. The sympathy of the entire community is extended to the bereaved ones, especially to the husband and the 5 poor babies, who will never know or have a mother's love. (Riverside Cemetery)
