It seems our hearts will break.

"Up yonder where the Savior is,
We see you who eased the care
Of the sick, and tired here on earth,
So calmly resting there.

"We'll clasp your hand on yonder shore,
Where we'll know as we are known
The flower that huddled here below,
We see up there, full blown.

"No more your heart will know an ache,
Nor sorrow ever come,
You lived for others here below,
Your work on earth is done.

"Our last good bye, we now shall say,
And look beyond this vale of tears,
To the glad re-union we shall have,
Where comes no doubts nor fears.

We will meet you in the morning,
Over on that golden shore,
And we'll sing His praise forever,
Up where dying is no more.

MARTIN, CHARLES L.

FATAL AUTO ACCIDENT

C. L. MARTIN INSTANTLY KILLED, WIFE AND DAUGHTER SERIOUSLY INJURED

C. L. Martin, 57 years of age, a rancher living one mile east of New Plymouth, was instantly killed and his wife and daughter seriously injured in an auto accident Saturday evening, while his 19 year old son who was driving the car escaped injury.

The Martin family were on their way to Payette and when near the Wilfong ranch, three miles west of New Plymouth, they met another car driven by Mrs. H. L. Householder, who also lives in that community, and due to glaring headlights with no particular blame attached to either driver the cards side swiped with sufficient force to cause the driver of the Martin car to lose control when the car swerved to the opposite side of the road and turned bottom side up and immediately took fire. The son, who was not injured was the only member of the family who was able to relieve himself from the wreck. He at once took off his coat and smothered the flame burning his sister's hair, then pulled her from beneath the car. He was also able to get his mother from beneath the burning car, but the father who was evidently killed outright was pinned fast with a crushed skull and was not removed until after the New Plymouth fire department, being notified, had arrived and extinguished the flames that had completely burned the clothes from the unfortunate man.

H. E. Wilfong who lives nearby heard the crash and came quickly to render assistance as well as others who were passing by. Mrs. Martin and daughter were taken to the Ontario by Dr. Drysdale of New Plymouth where it was discovered that Mrs. Martin had suffered a broken pelvis bone and one leg, besides severely bruised and suffering from the shock. The daughter had one arm quite badly injured and her badly burned.

I. H. Adair, coroner of Payette county, Sheriff Stewart and Deputy Fensky were called to the scene of the accident. It was deemed unnecessary to hold an inquest. the funeral for Mr. Martin was held from the New Plymouth Baptist church, Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock.

Note: According to the Idaho Death Index, Charles L. Martin was born 4-24-1957 and died 4-19-1930, New Plymouth. Burial at Parkview Cemetery. Ch (Parkview Cemetery)

"She hath done what she could."

Funeral services were held at the Christian church, Sunday afternoon, at 3:00 p. m., where a large audience paid their last respects to one they had known so long and well. Rev. Mrs. J. S. Beem conducted the services, assisted by her husband. Appropriate songs were furnished by the church choir. Burial was made in Riverside cemetery beside her late husband in the family plot.

Many were the beautiful floral offerings which showed the esteem and respect of friends and fraternal orders that her children belong to. Pall bearers were selected from old Iowa friends and neighbors with honorary pall bearers from the local Odd Fellows' lodge, who were old friends of the family. A guard of honor was also present from Weiser Canton of the Patriarchs Militant branch of Odd fellowship in respect to the family.

Mrs. Hartung will be missed by her relatives and friends but she has just gone to her reward.

FISHER, HAROLD GLADE

FATAL ACCIDENT FRUITLAND MAN

GLADE FISHER ACCIDENTALLY SHOT WHILE HUNTING DEER -- WAS PROMINENT IN COMMUNITY - MANY ATTEND FUNERAL SUNDAY AFTERNOON

The whole community was saddened Friday when news came of the death of Glade Fisher, who was accidentally shot and killed while deer hunting near Lowman last Thursday afternoon. Glade was one of Fruitland's most favored and loved young men. He was a young man of sterling character and worth and had so much to live for and could have done so much good in the world. He was a friend to all, old and young alike. In school affairs, athletics, social circles, church activities and many other places, he took an active part and was always counted upon as one of the main ones. He mingles with all and was one of the few in the community of which everyone had a good word to speak. None ever spoke anything but the best of him, he had all friends and no enemies. When anyone was in need of help he was always ready and willing to serve, whether it was of interest to him or not.

It seems sad indeed and hard to understand why one so young and strong should be taken, but there is a power above us all who sees and knows what is best. Just now the way seems dark and dreary, but sometime we'll understand.

Harold Glade Fisher was born near Sheridan, Mo., February 23, 1904, and died Thursday, October 16, 1930, at the age of 26 years, 6 months and 24 days. He is survived by his wife Laura Hezeltine Fisher, his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Grant Fisher, three sisters, Mrs. L. E. Eldredge of Caldwell and Mildred and Merle of Fruitland and 2 brothers, George of Parma and Earl of Fruitland. Also a large circle of friends who extend their sympathy to all the bereaved ones in their hour of sorrow, as they also grieve with them in the loss of this fine boy.

Glade came with his parents to Fruitland in the spring of 1908, where his home has been ever since. At an early age he united with the church of the Brethren, to which he has ever been loyal. He graduated from the Fruitland high school with the class of 1921, and from McPherson College, McPherson, Kans. in 1925. The year of 1925-26, he taught in the Fruitland high school, followed by two years teaching in Sharon Springs, Kans.

He was united in marriage to Miss Laura Hezeltine of Fruitland on January 2, 1930. Together they went to Corvallis, where Glade took post-graduate work in the college there. For the past 2 years, with the exception of the time spent in Corvallis, he has been working with his father on the home ranch near Fruitland.

Glade would have resumed his duties as a teacher in the Fruitland high school Monday, October 20th.

His sunny disposition and ready willingness to be a friend has won him a wide circle of friends. The loss will be keenly felt, not only in the home but by all who have known him and learned to love him. His place will be greatly missed by everyone. Funeral services were held from the Brethren church Sunday after noon at 2:30 conducted by Rev. McKinley Coffman. The many and beautiful floral offerings were silent tributes of the high esteem in which he was held in the community. Interment was made in Riverside cemetery in Payette. (Riverside Cemetery)

Like a candle snuffed out in an instant.
His departure from us was made,
Yet his memory will live,
Like the after-glow of sunset,
Too sweet to fade.

We have no way of knowing
Why life is patterned so,
Yet the purpose of life
God planned for us,
Some time, we'll surely know.

PRESTON, LA REE

CHILD PASSES AWAY AFTER ONLY FEW HOURS' ILLNESS

The sudden death of Little La Ree Preston, 9-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. T. Preston, which occurred at her home on North Seventh street on last Thursday morning, was not only a severe shock to the members of her family, but brought sadness to the people of the entire community. La Ree was an exceptional child. Her lovable disposition and sweet childish ways made her exceedingly dear to her parents, her teacher and school mates and all who knew her. It seems truly sad that a child blessed with such a sweet disposition and promising future should be taken away. Her illness was of only a few hours' duration, and death came so unexpectedly and with hardly a moment's warning.

She was born at Weston, Ida., Oct. 18, 1921, and soon after came to Weiser with her parents, then to Nampa, where the family lived until about two years ago, when they moved to Payette. She leaves to mourn their loss her parents and two younger brothers, and many school mates and others who learned to love her.

The funeral was held at Weiser Friday, Oct. 24, and interment was made in the Weiser cemetery.

While the untimely passing of this beautiful child has brought untold sorrow, and particularly to the parents and other members of the family, there is one consoling thought -- she has been taken away while yet in all her purity, from a world full of sorrow and temptation, pure and undefiled before her Maker, who said, "Suffer little children to come unto Me and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of heaven." With this beautiful thought in mind, you may yet see her in all her glory.

But Tuesday at noon she became suddenly worse and unconscious and never regained consciousness. Ida was a dear, sweet girl, and was loved by all who knew her. Through her profession she made many friends in the community. Her kind and cheerful way in ministering to them made them all love her. Ida Wilhelmina Kullander was born at Kensington, Minn., Feb. 24, 1881. She spent the earlier part of her life in the state of Minnesota.

LEWIS, N. WEBSTER

OBITUARY

N. Webster Lewis was born in Sagerstown, Penn. Sept. 18, 1842. As the tide of emigration moved westward, he came with his family to Illinois and later to the new lands of Iowa, where he settled in Jasper County. Here on Sept. 17, 1867, he was united in marriage to Martha Emily Tait, who preceded him in death only six weeks ago. Surviving him are a son and daughter; Harry T. Lewis of Fruitland, at whose home he passed away, and Mrs. James A. Pinkerton of Roseburg, Ore., 15 (I think this should be five ) grand-children, Lieut. Clark H. Lewis, U. S. navy of San Diego, Calif., Dorothy G. Lewis of Fresno, Calif., and Marian and Glenn Lewis of Fruitland and Nadine Pinkerton of Roseburg, Ore. He leaves also one sister, Miss N. L. Lewis of Hayllsville, Wyo., and one brother, D. O. Lewis of Falls City, Neb. Mr. Lewis, at his death, was 88 years, 1 month and 2 days old. He was the fourth one of his family to live, considerably past the age of 80 years. The oldest brother, Joel Lewis of Miami, Fla., passed away last spring at the age of 91 years. Mr. Lewis lived an earnest Christian life, never doubting but that right would triumph and the good prevail. His church affiliation in Iowa was with the Congregational Church; upon his coming to Idaho, he transferred his membership to the Presbyterian church of Payette and later to the Methodist church of Fruitland. He came to Idaho in 1902 and has lived in the community ever since. He took an active part in the development of the Fruitland vicinity. He gave his assistance to every forward movement. His large hospitable home was always the center of church and social activities during the early days of this community. He was always one of Fruitland's most thought of citizens and had a large circle of friends who will greatly miss him. He was a man of broad charity and loved all men as his friend and brother, his greatest pleasure being in friendly intercourse with them. Of his life, we take from the 23rd psalm this eulogy: "Yes, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for Thou art with me; thy rod and they staff, they comfort me. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever." Death came quietly Monday morning, Oct. 20, after a few days' illness due to his advanced age. His grief in losing his life-mate helped to hasten the end. Funeral services were held from the M. E. Church Wednesday afternoon at 2:30, conducted by the Rev. George Roseberry, and interment made in Park View Cemetery in New Plymouth beside his wife. (Parkview Cemetery)

COL. HARRIS IN FATAL ACCIDENT

PROMINENT WEISER ATTORNEY, RECENTLY ELECTED DISTRICT JUDGE MEETS SUDDEN DEATH IN AUTO ACCIDENT

Colonel James Harris of Weiser, age 42 years, was instantly killed last Tuesday night when the car he was driving turned over into the Weiser river canyon near the Evergreen camp ground.

His companion, Major Lou J. Farber, also of Weiser, was only slightly injured.

Mr. Harris, commander of the 116th Cavalry Idaho National Guards, and Mr. Farber, commander of the 3d squadron, were returning from Moscow and Lewiston, where they had been on an inspection tour of troops stationed there. At Moscow, Harris was speaker at the Armistice day assembly.

Mr. Farber said he was confident Mr. Harris, fatigued after the political campaign, rigors of the drive and inspection, fell asleep, which caused the accident.

With the assistance of passing motorists his body was extricated from the wreck and brought to Weiser that evening.

Mr. Harris, who was one of Idaho's best known men, had been recently given the highest honors in the seventh judicial district of Idaho, by being elected district judge on November 4, and was entering the peaks of a brilliant career. He was prominent in state Democratic circles and a leader in his party. He is the son of Frank Harris of Weiser, veteran Idaho lawyer and legislator. Besides his parents he leaves a wife and three sons, age 6, 9 and 12.

The city of Weiser will keenly feel the loss of Col. Harris, whom the people of that place held in high regard.

KEELER, ORA BOSLEY

ANOTHER FATAL AUTO ACCIDENT

MRS. L. E. KEELER, PROMINENT PAYETTE COUNTY WOMAN STRUCK BY CAR ON HIGHWAY, ARM ALMOST SEVERED FROM BODY, DIED IN ONTARIO HOSPITAL

One of the saddest and most lamentable automobile accidents that has ever taken place in this community occurred last Thursday on the state highway near the L. E. Keeler home three miles north of this city, when Mrs. Keeler, wife of L. E. Keeler, was struck by an automobile driven by Earl S. Secoy, which resulted in her death a few hours later.

Mr. Secoy, one of the faculty of the Fruitland school, in company with three of the students of the school, were driving north past the Keeler place on their way to Weiser, when the car, driven by Secoy, struck Mrs. Keeler as she was crossing highway to the mail box on the opposite side of the road.

From the best information at hand, the driver swerved the car to one side to miss the unfortunate woman, when she was struck by the side of the car. Her arm apparently caught in the handle of the door and was almost entirely severed from her body. She also received a broken hip and internal injuries. She was immediately removed to the Ontario hospital, where she passed away at 9 o'clock that evening.

Coroner L. A. Adair was called and held an inquest the following day, where witnesses were examined to determine the probable cause of the accident. The verdict returned was in the effect that the driver of the automobile was exonerated from any blame.

News of the fatal accident brought untold sadness, not only to the immediate family, but to the entire community, where Mrs. Keeler was so well known and loved by a large circle of friends.

Ora Myra Bosley was born February 11, 1867, at Woodville, Ohio. There her early childhood was spent. She moved to Kansas, where her education was completed, after which she taught in the grade schools and also gave piano lessons.

She was married to L. E. Keeler at Kansas City, Mo., June 4, 1889. Their home was blessed with three children, Mable, Harold and Donald. Mable went to her heavenly home February 25, 1921.

Mr. and Mrs. Keeler came to Payette in 1911, where they have since lived.

Mrs. Keeler is survived by her husband and two sons, Dr. Harold Keeler of San Francisco, and Donald Keeler, who is a student at the University of Idaho.

For many years Mrs. Keeler had been a member of the Church of Christ, and by her faithfulness proved her love for her Master.

She will be greatly missed by her many friends in the church and community.

The funeral services, which were conducted by the Rev. Mrs. J. S. Beem, were held at the Christian church. Members of the Lorraine chapter Eastern Star, of which the decedent was a member, attended in a body.

The beautiful and impressive Eastern Star services were held at the grave at Riverside cemetery, where the remains were laid to rest beside her daughter. (Riverside Cemetery)
