FRANK HAHN FAMILY KILLED IN ACCIDENT

Train Hits Automobile Near Payette

One of the most terrible accidents that ever happened to a family in Idaho was that which befell the Hahns Monday morning at Wood's spur crossing near Payette.

An automoble containing six members of the Frank Hahn family of Council was hit by the pony train on the Oregon Short Line. The dead are F. Hahn, Mrs. Hahn, Joe Hahn, Elsie Hahn and Frank Hahn, Jr., Alice Hahn is the only survivor of the fatal ride.

They were on their way from Boise where they had been visiting relatives to their home in Cambridge. The auto was hit squarely by the locomotive and some of the victims were hurled more than 50 feet. The engineer thinks the auto engine went dead as the car was crossing and stopped on the track.

Mr. Hahn was a well known stockman of the Council valley, where he had resided for many years. (Riverside Cemetery)

Funeral of Hahn Family (New Plymouth Sentinel, August 16, 1917)

The funeral of the five members of the Hahn family who were killed in an automobile accident near Wood's spur crossing was held Wednesday afternoon, at Payette.

The services were held in the Methodist church and conducted by Rev. Barnes. The county and city offices, and many of the business houses closed during the funeral. The five bodies of the father, mother, daughter and two sons were buried in a single grave in Riverside cemetery.

Train Hits Auto and Kills Five
Victims Were Prominent Council Valley Residents - Had Visited in Payette

Frank Hahn, a wealthy Stockman of Council, his wife, two sons and a daughter were killed at Lattig's Crossing, two miles west of Payette, last Monday morning about 8:30, when the car in which they were riding was struck by the east bound "pony." Another daughter, Alice, aged 13 was badly injured, but it is said she now has good chances for recovery.

The Hahn family drove down to Payette last Friday for a visit with Mrs. Hahn's mother, Mrs. A. Eifer and a sister, Mrs. Beckstead. On Saturday Mr. Hahn and two sons drove to Boise where the eldest took the examination for service in the army returning to Payette in the evening.

Monday morning the family started for their home near Council and had only driven about two miles when hit by the train. Just how the accident occurred will probably never be known, but it is supposed the engine of the car was killed on the crossing. The car was hit square in the center and carried about 150 feet, totally wrecking the car and instantly killing Mr. Hahn and the oldest boy, Frank, who was driving. Mrs. Hahn died while being taken from the train, Miss Elsie died an hour after reaching Payette and Joseph died about 1:30 p.m. Frank Hahn, Sr. was 60 years of age, Mrs. Alice Hahn, 54, Frank Hahn, Jr. 26; Joseph Hahn, 20; Miss Elsie, 17.

Mrs. Hahn was a sister of Mr. Fifer, the Ontario, proprietor of the Fifer confectionery store.

Funeral services were conducted by Rev. G. W. Barnes in the Payette Methodist church Wednesday afternoon at two o'clock, most of the business and county offices closing during the funeral hour.

Interment was made in Riverside Cemetery and the five bodies laid to rest side by side in a single grave. (Riverside Cemetery)

HALL, VERNON E.

Former Payette Pastor Dies At LaGrande, Oregon

The hearts of many people of this city was saddened when the sad news came announcing the death of a former pastor of the M. E. church of Payette, Rev. Vernon E. Hall who for six years was in charge of the church here. His death came suddenly Monday afternoon, March 3rd, caused by a stroke of apoplexy.

Rev. Hall who left Payette in September, 1928, to take charge as pastor of the La Grande church, was one of the most highly respected men among all classes of people. He was not only a minister of rare ability, but was a worker in the community, in all civic and social affairs for the betterment of the people. His leaving Payette after six years of faithful service in the church and community was regretted by many people.

The funeral services were held at La Grande this afternoon at 2:30 and were attended by a number from Payette. Those who we know to have gone are Attorney A. L. Freehafer, A. I. McClanahan, Mrs. De Bord, Rev. Albert Parrett, and Dr. M. R. Fox. Flowers were sent by the ladies aid of the church, the Kiwanis club, Washoe Lodge No. 28 and B. F. McCarroll.

HALL, WILLIAM B.

WILLIAM HALL TAKES OWN LIFE

WELL KNOWN OREGON SLOPE RANCHER HANGED HIMSELF TO RAFTERS OF HIS BARN TUESDAY NIGHT

A sad and thoroughly unaccountable tragedy left Mrs. William B. Hall a widow and her three children fatherless Tuesday night. The father, a rancher on the Oregon Slope, took his own life. When Mrs. Hall, who had been working hard all day and was tired, and her children retired, Mr. Hall was reading the daily paper and listening in on the radio. He, too, had been very busy in haying and had done a big days work, but said he wanted to finish the paper before going to bed. He was in apparent good spirits and was a man who was not apt to worry, taking everything, including hard work, which he seemed to enjoy, in a happy frame of mind.

Mrs. Hall fell asleep and had slept some time when she awakened and missed her husband. She called and when he did not answer she started out to look for him. It had been his custom to take his nightshirt and hang it on a post near the irrigation ditch while he took a plunge before going to bed. This she found, but his slippers and clothing were not there. Becoming alarmed she went to the nearby home of his uncle, J.E. Ball, and aroused Mr. Ball. They returned and resumed the search and found his body hanging to the rafters of the barn.

As the family had been a happy one and he was devoted to his wife and children, and as his financial condition was such that he need not worry, the conclusion is that he may have become overheated during the hot afternoon in the hayfield and that something suddenly snapped and he lost his mind. There is another possible reason for the rash act. His twin brother, Willard, to whom he was devoted, died about a year ago and at the time his grief was terrible. For weeks he wept almost every night and the loss affected him very much. When his brother went to war and he was rejected by the medical board he was not himself until Willard returned. This loss may have affected him more than his family knew.

William B. Hall was born as Kendrick, Idaho, February 28, 1893, and died July 8, 1930, at the age of 37 years, 4 month and 10 days. He came to this section with his brother, and they homesteaded land on the Oregon side about 15 years ago. He was married to Elsie Noble, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Nodle, June 8, 1918. To this union was born three children, Wilma, 11; Eldon, 7; and Beverly 4. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Hall, who moved to Arlington, Washington, also survive and he leaves three brothers and three sisters, all living in the state of Washington.

Funeral services were held in abeyance pending the arrival of relatives, but have been set for Friday morning at 10 o'clock at the church of God, of which he was a member. They will be conducted by Rev. Farnham, and interment will take place at Riverside cemetery.

Mrs. Hall and her children have the profound sympathy of everybody in this sad hour. (Riverside Cemetery)

LOCAL MAN SUICIDES

WILLIAM B. HALL TAKES OWN LIFE AT RANCH HOME -- NO CAUSE KNOWN FOR RASH ACT

William B. Hall, a rancher living on the Oregon side, one mile west of the Snake river bridge, committed suicide Tuesday night by hanging. No cause is known for the rash act. It is thought it may have been temporarily mental derangement.

Mr. Hall who is 38 years of age was the owner of the old Maxfield ranch west of Payette and was assisting a neighbor Tuesday in the hay field and apparently was well and in his usual frame of mind. He attended to his regular duties about the place that evening and had been listening to the radio, his wife had gone to bed and shortly after awoke and found Mr. Hall was missing. She was not alarmed, as he had often went to the irrigation ditch to take a bath before going to bed, but got up to make search and notified Mr. Jessie Ball, a neighbor, who is an uncle of Mr. Hall, who came to assist in the search and found his body hanging by a rope from the rafters of the stable. The authorities, including the coroner of Malheur county of Ontario was notified and came to investigate the case. No inquest will be held. The body was brought to the Landon funeral Home, where the funeral will be held Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock.

Mr. Hall was a highly respected man who has lived in this community for many years. He is survived by a wife and three children, the eldest, a daughter, 12 years of age. He is also survived by a mother who lives at Seattle; two uncles, Jessie and Snowden Bell of Payette. (Riverside Cemetery)

HAM, DAVID

The subject of this sketch was born June 6, 1844, at Springfield, Illinois, and died July 8,m 1923, at the age of 79 years, 1 month and 2 days. He was united in marriage to Meriza Prentiss at Madison, Wisconsin, on November 25, 1867, from which union was born one child, Capitola A., wife of T. H. Sanger.

David A. Ham enlisted from Dane county, Wisconsin, to serve 3 years, or during the Civil War. He was mustered into the U. S. service at Madison, Wisconsin, on September 18, 1861, as a private of Captain William C. Young's Company E. 8th regiment, Wisconsin Infantry, Col. Robert C. Murphy commanding. He was honorably discharged at Black River, Mississippi, on February 22, 1864. By reason of re-enlistment as a veteran in the same company and regiment and was mustered into the U. S. service on February 23rd as Sergeant, to serve 3 years more under Captain Wm. C. Young and Col. John W. Jefferson.

The 8th Wisconsin was known as the "Eagle" regiment from the fact that it carried a live, bald-head eagle; the property of Company C, many times into battle. The men named him "Old Abe" and swore him into the U.S. Service by decorating him with red, white and blue ribbons. during the battles Old Abe would soar high above the battle-field and screech continually. He never lost track of his regiment and always returned to his company immediately after the battle. Old Abe survived the war and for many years afterward was kept at the state capitol of Wisconsin.

David A. Ham participated in many important battles, including Island No. 10, Siege of Corinth, Battle of Iuka and Corinth. In the latter battle, the regiment was exposed to a terrific fire for three hours. In March, 1863, the regiment joined Grant's forces for the Vicksburg campaign, participating in engagements at Raymond, Jackson, and the siege and assaults of Vicksburg. The regiment was employed as sharp-shooters in front of Vicksburg until the surrender July 4th when the army then moved into the city. At one time they were without tents for 56 days, in bad weather, marching and bivouacking, and many of the men were without shoes. For 16 days they drew but 4 days' rations.

Having re-enlisted, the 8th regiment was about to return to return to Wisconsin on veteran furlough in the spring of 1864, but when the Red River Expedition was projected, General Sherman desired it to accompany General Smith and to take part in it. After the surrender of Mobile, the regiment went to Montgomery, Ala.

David A. Ham was mustered out of service at Demopolis, Alabama. He was injured at Corinth, Mississippi, in the right hip and one of his ear drums was injured at Jackson, Mississippi, which affected his hearing. He was constantly with his command during its service as outlines, bore a gallant part in all its engagements and rendered faithful and meritorious service at all times. He received an honorable discharge at Demopolis, Alabama, September 5, 1865, by reason of the close of the war, having served just 13 days less than 4 years.

He was a member of W. T. Sherman Post No. 31, Department of Idaho, Grand Army of the Republic; and a member of the Odd Fellows and A. O. U. W. Lodges.

The funeral was held at the residence on July 9th conducted by Rev. Ashworth, and at Riverside cemetery conducted by the Odd Fellows. (Riverside Cemetery)

CARD OF THANKS

We take this opportunity to tender our thanks to the good people of Payette and vicinity, who gave their aid and sympathy during the death and funeral of our beloved husband, father and grand-father, Mrs. David A. Ham

HAMONS, GEORGE

Plunges to Death

The Nampa Record says that George Hamons met a tragic death last Thursday night when he stumbled from the top of a precipitous cliff to the rocky bottom of Rabbit creek, a distance of 75 feet. He left Matteson's state barn at Murphy Thursday evening carrying a shot gun, saying that he would take a stroll up Rabbit creek. That was the last seen of him alive. A Search was made and the body was found lying face down in the creek bed. The bones in the face were crushed and a rugged bolder made an ugly bruise over the heart causing his friends to conclude that the heart concussion was the immediate cause of death.

It appears that Hamons had cached some whiskey in that vicinity and his wanderings were made in an attempt to locate it in the darkness.

HARLAND, H.

H. HARLAND PASSES AWAY
FORMER PROMINENT CITIZEN OF PAYETTE DIED IN PORTLAND LAST FRIDAY EVENING

It is with feelings of deepest regret that the news of the death of Herbert Harland, who died at Portland, Oregon, Friday evening, July 25, is recorded in the Independent. Although it was known that Mr. Harland was in poor health no one realized his immediate danger and his death came as a distinct shock to his old time friends here and to all citizens of Payette and Southwestern Idaho.

Mr. Harland was born in Scalton, Yorkshire, England, September 25, 1862, and came to Sauk Rapids, Minn., when he was a young man 18 years of age. He was married there and four of the children, Ferrin G., Albert M., Irene and Jane, were born there. The other child, Joseph H. was born in St. Paul, Minn.

A man of more than ordinary ability, Mr. Harland was not long in proving his worth in the land of his adoption and he was soon recognized by the government and appointed rural route and postoffice inspector. For twenty years he served the government in this capacity, but owing to Mrs. Harland's health failing he resigned and came to Payette in 1908 and purchased a fruit ranch north of town, which is still the family home.

During his residence in Idaho Mr. Harland served for five years as a regent of the Idaho State University, two years as register of the state land board, a term as state fruit inspector and for four years was master of the state grange. He was a man of the strictest probity of character; a man who believed a public office was a public trust; and one who served his community and state with credit and distinction. He was known from one end of the state to the other and to know him was to love and respect his noble characteristics.

About two years ago he had a nervous breakdown and Mrs. Harland took him to La Grande, Oregon, for treatment. Finding little relief there the family moved to Portland where he was put under the care of specialists. He continued to fail, however, and finally death came to his relief. With him in his last hours were his life companion and all of the family except Mrs. F. G. Harland and Mrs. A. M. Harland of Payette. He ended a life of quiet dignified service for his country, state and community peacefully and tranquilly as he had lived. Funeral services were held at the family residence in Portland and he was laid to rest by loved ones in the beautiful city of roses.

The sympathy of the community goes out to the grief stricken wife and family in their hour of great bereavement. The loss to this community has been great, but small compared to their loss.

He had lived all of his life in this state and had accumulated considerable wealth, owning a number of fine farms in this vicinity. He leaves a wife and grown daughter, who live at the home place and a step son, Henry Weldner, who lives on a ranch in the same vicinity. The funeral services occurred today.

Death of A. W. Harris

Archibald Wood Harris, who had been living in this city for the last seven years at the home of his son, Thos Harris, died last Friday morning as the result of old age, having been more than 87 years old. Some time ago he was taken ill with asthma and while he seemed to recover from it he never regained enough strength to get up from his bed. During the last days of his life there was apparently no suffering by him whatever. When the time came for him to give up this life he passed away so quietly that the watchers at his bedside were not aware that his spirit had departed until minutes, perhaps, afterwards. There was not a word nor a sound that came from him.

The funeral was held from the Christian church Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock, Rev. W. E. Bodditt having preached the sermon. The remains were respectfully conveyed to Riverside cemetery where they were laid in their last resting place.

The deceased leaves a family of six children, all of whom are living. A daughter, Mrs. Belle Kalin, residing in Portland, Or., came to Payette to attend the funeral.

HARRIS, JAMES

COL. JAMES HARRIS KILLED IN CAR ACCIDENT TUESDAY

WAS RETURNING FROM MOSCOW, AFTER ATTENDING NATIONAL GUARD ASSEMBLY -- LOU FARBER ESCAPES WITH MINOR INJURIES

WEISER -- Colonel James Harris, commander of the 116th Cavalry, I. N. G., met instant death Tuesday night about 9:30 on the North and South highway 20 miles north of Council, when the automobile which he was driving plunged over a grade.

He was accompanied by Major Lou J. Farber, also of Weiser, but the meager reports available here gave few details. Major Farber was reported to be uninjured. He is credited with having expressed the opinion that Colonel Harris, tired by the long drive, temporarily nodded over the wheel and lost control of the machine. The two officers were returning home after having been in Lewiston and Moscow on official business connected with the national guard.

Was District Judge
In addition to an excellent military record, Colonel Harris was prominent in civic affairs of western Idaho and enjoyed an enviable reputation as an attorney. He was elected district Judge on the Democratic ticket in the election last week. He was married and was the father of two sons. Practically his whole life was spent in Weiser.

Served Overseas
In 1917 he was a first lieutenant in Co. I., second Idaho Infantry. He went overseas with the 146th machine Gun battalion, 41st division and served with the military police in France. In 1922 he became department commander of the American Legion for Idaho and in the year following served as national legion committeeman from his home state.

He resumed his service in the Idaho National Guard in 1923 and became colonel of his regiment in 1927.

He was a graduate of the University of Idaho and was about 40 yeas old. He was general counsel for the P & I. N. railway.

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.

HART, JOSEPHINE

The whole community was saddened when the news came of the death of little Josephine Hart, which occurred at the home of her grandmother, Mrs. J. M. Royston in Fruitland, Thursday morning, Dec. 1 at 7:15. While she had been very ill since July 7, she had seemed to be improving and great hopes were held out for her recovery, so when death came, it was a great shock to everyone. She was born on the Royston farm on Pennsylvania Avenue, October 30, 1912, and has lived in Fruitland most of the time since. She was a member and a most regular attender of the Methodist Sunday School. Wherever she went she carried her sweet smile and sunny disposition and was loved by everyone who knew her.

During her illness, she still retained these, and was patient until the last. She will be greatly missed at home and every place she was known as nothing can ever take her place. By losing this little girl we have lost one o our dearest children, and the most we can say is, "She budded on earth, to bloom in Heaven."

Funeral services were held from the Fruitland Church, Sunday afternoon, at 2 o'clock, conducted by Rev. George Todd, and interment made in Riverside cemetery, Monday morning, the body being held on account of Lafe Royston, who was coming from Canada, being delayed. (Riverside Cemetery)

WAS A FRIEND TO EVERYONE
AUNTY HAYES

Aunty Hayes passed from this life into the great beyond at the home of her niece, Mrs. John Alden, at 12 o'clock last Monday night after an illness of about six weeks with cancer of the stomach. She had been in feeble health for several months and remained in her own home until six weeks ago she gave up and went to the home of her niece where she might receive better care and attention and where everything possible was done for her comfort and recovery, but owing to her advanced age and the incurable affliction which soon became apparent, all was to no avail and the death angel came as the only relief at the mid-night hour on February 9th.

Aunty Hayes will long be remembered for her life of devotion to others. She was not blessed with children of her own, but sought to be a true mother to all with whom she associated. Her noted character for kindness and a good word for everyone, and speaking ill of no one stands as a monument of her career in this world of more than four score years. To say that she will be missed in this community is but speaking the truth. She will be missed in sickness and by her friends in distress, and her devoted work in church. She became a Christian in early life and has lived true to her faith in her Maker, and has now gone to be with him and receive her reward for the life she has lived. May her life be an example to others.

Mary Dixon was born in England near London, March 1st, 1839 and departed this life February 9, 1920 at Payette, Idaho, at the age of 81 years, 11 months and 9 days. She came to the United States in 1872, living in the state of Michigan for several years. She was united in marriage to William Hayes about the year 1875, who has long since passed from this life. She moved from Michigan to Illinois where she lived until 1888, moving at that time to North Dakota, and in 1900 moved to Payette where she continued to make her home until the time of her death. Funeral services were held from Lauers Undertaking Parlor Wednesday afternoon at 2:30, conducted by Mrs. Guss, First Reader of the Church of Christ Scientist.

JAMES L. HOLLANDSWORTH OBITUARY

James Lawrence Hollandsworth was born at Ansley, Nebraska, Jan. 29, 1888. At the age of 14, he united with the Baptist church, at Broken Bow, Neb., where he was a faithful and consciencious worker. At an early age he embarked in the newspaper business at that place, and later became active in the state militia. His talent along military lines, led him in rapid promotion from the rank of private, to that of Sargeant, Lieutenant, and finally to Captain of Company M, Nebraska National Guard, located at that place. In 1909 he moved to Cherry County, a sparcely settled cattle region of Northern Nebraska, where he acquired a piece of Government land, and tried his hand at ranching. This life however proved distasteful, and in 1913 he sold out, and purchased a drug store at the nearby town of Brownlee. Later he was appointed Postmaster, and also launched forth a newspaper, the Brownlee Booster. Through his efforts a Church and Sunday School was organized, it being the only one in the community. His other activities included the organization of a base-ball club and brass band. In June 1915, he was married to Mrs. Helen Haley, and to this happy union three children were born. In 1917, he disposed of his holdings at that place and came West settling at Payette, which has since been their home. For the past three years Lawrence has been connected with the Postal Department of this place, serving in the capacity of both carrier and clerk. About three months ago he was suddenly stricken with a malady which for a while puzzled the doctors, but was later found to be a very acute case of Brights Disease. His condition however, was very changeable, and some days he would feel well enough to work at the office. Later, his illness assumed a more serious aspect, and since that time, he has steadily grown weaker. On the morning of March 2nd, he was taken to Boise, where the result of his examination seemed to be very favorable to recovery. But that night his condition suddenly became worse and he passed away in an unconscious condition at 7 a.m. the following morning. Upon receipt of a message to that effect. W. R. Williams left immediately for Boise to take charge, returning with the remains on the following day.

The funeral was held Saturday at 2 p.m. at the Baptist Church, where Rev. Buell delivered a very impressive sermon. The pall bearers were all selected from the Post Office force, and the office was closed during the hour of the funeral. The Legion flag was also hoisted and left, at half mast, as a mark of courtesy and respect. The final ceremonies at the grave were conducted under the auspicies of the Yeoman Lodge of which the deceased was an honored member.

Lawrence was always a favorite not only among his fellow workers, but by all who knew him, and his friends were numbered only by his acquaintances. He leaves to mourn his loss, a wife and three children in addition to two step-children, a mother, step-father, and four sisters. The sympathy of the entire community goes out to the family, in the dark hour of their bereavement. (Riverside Cemetery)

Two Boys Drown in Snake River
Glenn McClure and Raymond Hooker Lose Lives While In Swimming

Two Fruitland boys, Glenn McClure and Raymond Hooker, both thirteen years of age, were drowned in what is known as Ramey's slough, about one mile west of town, at nine o'clock last Monday evening.

Young McClure's body was recovered about five o'clock Tuesday evening within a few feet of where it went down, while that of the Hooker boy was not found until Thursday evening about six o'clock at the mouth of the Malheur river.

The boys, members of a patrol of Boy Scouts, under the leadership of Rev. Burtch, of this place, had gone out for a hike, intending to camp overnight. Rev. Burtch and some of the boys had crossed the slough to the Ramey island to establish a permanent camp for the night and were some distance away when the accident happened.

Several of the boys had gone in swimming and Glenn McClure had floated down the slough, through which quite a strong current flows this time of year, on a log, and Raymond Hooker, who was standing in shallow water, made a leap for the log, but missed it and was taken into water from 20 to 25 feet deep.

When Raymond Hooker began to go down, young McClure, who was a good swimmer, went to his rescue, but the drowning boy seized him around the neck and he could not break the hold. Two other boys who went to the aid of the struggling pair were too late, the accident occurring so suddenly and at the point where it was very difficult to lend any aid.

Funeral services for the two boys were held in the Baptist church this morning at 10 o'clock, conducted by Rev. Derry (?) of Ontario, and Rev. J. E. Shamberger, of Fruitland. Interment was made in Riverside cemetery at Payette. (Riverside Cemetery)

HUBBARD, JAMES DANIEL

Mrs. T. R. Hubbard Loses Her Son

Friends of Mrs. T. R. Hubbard, who has made her home at Albion, Pa., since the death of her husband, will be grieved to learn of the death of her little son, which occurred a few days ago. The following account is taken from the Albion News.

The announcement Thursday evening of the death of James Daniel, the little son of Mrs. Thomas Hubbard, created profound sorrow in this entire community.

He had been confined to his rooms for about three weeks and while his condition was not encouraging he was not believed to be fatally ill until a few days previous to his death, when a weakening of the heart developed, which sapped his strength and on Thursday afternoon, May 21, friends realized that the hour of parting was at hand.

He was born at Payette, Idaho, September 6, 1901.

In the few years he was permitted to live he had brought comfort and joy, not only to those in his own home, but also to homes of relatives, for whom he showed an unusual fondness and attachment.

It was with farewell embraces and his lips forming words of cheer for those about him up to the moment the Great Master claimed him for his own and closed his eyes in eternal sleep. It was such a farewell to earth as might have been expected of one of mature age.

The funeral was held on Saturday afternoon at the home on North Main street and the remains were laid to rest by the side of his father in Wellsburg cemetery. The attendance was large and a wealth of beautiful floral offerings were in evidence.

Rev. W. S. Burton conducted the services, which were very plain though pathetic, and in its entirety the occasion was one of unusual sadness.

Mrs. Hubbard has the sympathy of many friends in her grief and loneliness. (Wellsburg Cemetery)

Duiin of the Payette Baptist church conducted the services and although deeply feeling the great sorrow and loss, was able to leave comforting thoughts with the friends there gathered. There were beautiful floral offerings from friends as tokens of the deep regard in which Mr. Hubbard was held. Mr. A. J. Boehmer of Payette sang "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere" in a touching manner, while he also assisted the Pleasant View quartet in rendering the hymns to which everyone turns with sorrow. The internment took place at Riverside cemetery, to which one of the longest funeral processions of our history wended its way. Our immediate neighborhood and the entire valley feel deeply the loss of this man who was never too busy to give a most cordial salute to all he met. Although not a member of any church, he felt that he had a hope in Christ and lived the life of a Christian gentleman, devoted husband and father. His wife's loss is intensified by the many little attentions and regard of which he never wearied in every day life. At the age of forty four he had had a full life, and now rests from his labors.

HURD, F. F.

Aged Pioneer Passes Away

F. F. Hurd, After a Residence in Idaho of Thirty-One Years Answers the Final summons One of Valley's Most Respected Citizens.

There was indeed general sorrow in Payette Friday afternoon of last week when the word came to town that F. F. Hurd had passed away at his home two miles east of Payette and while for some time he had been in poor health and had reached the advanced age of seventy seven years and for several days past his friends had known him to be very low, yet the actual news that he had answered the final summons came as a distinct shock. For thirty-one years F. F. Hurd has been a resident of Payette Valley and the end found him still occupying the homestead he filed on when he first came to Idaho. His was a busy life. Coming as he did before the advent of the railroad he knew and experienced all of the privations and hardships of the pioneer but lived to see the earnest work of those who came with him bring forth fruit and the sage brush waste which greeted their eyes blossom forth into richly ladened orchards and fields of grain and alfalfa. He was a man of kindly disposition and earnest convictions, a father in all that the name implies and a neighbor that had the universal respect and confidence of all who knew him. Many will miss his genial smile and kindly greetings.

Eight children blessed this union, four girls and four boys, one girl dying in Illinois. The remaining children and mother who are left to mourn his loss all live in and near Payette, Mrs. Robt. M. Turner at Ontario, Mrs. Chas. Duell and Mrs. A. H. Ramey near Fruitland, Drs. R. B. and W. C. Hurd, engaged in the practice of veterinary live in Payette while F. E. and F. S. Hurd reside on the home ranch.

Living in Illinois until 1880 Mr. Hurd then moved to Firth, Nebraska, where he lived until 1882 when he pushed farther west and came to Idaho locating in Payette Valley living for a time with his son Frank until the arrival of his family when he took up a homestead two miles east of Payette where he resided until the time of his death.

C. H. B. Hutchinson, father of H. C. and W. A. Hutchinson of this city, came to his death October 26 while in the insane asylum at Blackfoot, Idaho.

The funeral services were held at the Baptist church Sunday afternoon at 2:30, when Rev. T. S. Dulin preached a very able and appropriate sermon, having taken his text from St. John 14:1-3. From the church the remains were conducted to Riverside cemetery where they were tenderly laid in their last resting place.

The deceased was born in Gilmington, New Hampshire, July 15, 1832, making him 72 years, 3 months and 11 days old. In 1837 he moved with his parents to Livingston county, Michigan. He was united in the holy bonds of wedlock to Miss Sophronia Davis at Sterling, Mich., on January 31, 1850, and in April of the same year moved to Wisconsin where he remained nine years when he moved to Harrisonville, Mo. In 1860 he returned to his old home in Wisconsin and three years later moved from there to Menomonle, Wis. He remained at this place nine years when he brought his family to Woodland, Cal., returning to his home at Menomonle the same year. He made another trip to California in 1883 and returned east in 1885. Then in 1890 he moved to Portland, Ore. and in 1899 he moved from there to Payette, where he had since resided until in his declining years his mind became weakened and he was taken to the asylum at Blackfoot.

About three months before his death he lost his power of speech. One of the last visits he enjoyed from any of his relatives was shortly before his death when his brother-in-law, E. H. Davis, who has been visiting in the Payette Valley this summer from the east, made him a visit at the asylum.

The deceased united with the Congregational church in 1860 and since that time had lived a conscientious Christian life.

HUTCHINSON, JAMES

PIONEERS PASS AWAY

SAMUEL W. KING AND JAMES HUTCHINSON ANSWER THE LAST CALL

Two of the Oldest Residents of the Payette Valley Die Within the Week - Mr. King Came to Idaho in 1869 and Mr. Hutchinson in 1878 -- Were Men Highly Honored and Respected.

During the last week two of the pioneers of the Payette Valley have been called to that bourne from which no traveler returns. One an old man enfeebled by age who had served his time and did it well and who was expecting the call of the angel of death, the other a man seemingly in good health who was stricken down with a suddenness that was a great shock to his many friends and which makes it hard for them to realize that he has been called from this life.

JAMES HUTCHINSON CALLED UNEXPECTEDLY

In the death of James Hutchinson Payette has lost one of her most honored citizens. His end was unexpected. On Tuesday, January 29, he was engaged in superintending work being done near Falk’s Store on the Lower Payette ditch, of which irrigation system he had been the superintendent for years. He injured himself about 3 o’clock in the afternoon by lifting. By 6 o’clock that evening he was in great pain and was brought to Payette and then taken to a hospital at Baker City, where Wednesday morning he underwent an operation for intestinal obstruction. He seemed to rally from the operation in good condition, but he did not have the strength to recover from it.

Mr. Hutchinson was born in New York City in 1854. He lived there for 10 years and then moved to California with a cousin much older than himself. After living in San Francisco three years, he removed to Washington territory, where he spent two years. He then took up some farm land in the Willamette valley in Oregon, where he remained for nine years, removing thence to Hailey in this state. He engaged in mining for a short time and 1882 came to the Payette valley, where he had lived since.

He was married to Miss Elizabeth Wilson of Salmon Meadows in 1887 and to them six children were born, three boys and three girls, all of whom survive the husband and father. His father is still living in Ireland.

During the 25 years since Mr. Hutchinson came to Payette he made friends on every hand and no man knew him but to call him honest, patriotic and upright, the highest tributes to be paid to an American citizen.

Four years ago he was elected county treasurer of Canyon county and served one term. He had been a member of the Payette school board for a number of years, and in respect to his memory the public schools were dismissed on the day of his burial.

The funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at 1:30 o’clock under the auspices of the order of Odd Fellows, of which he was a member. The members of the order gathered at their hall at 1:15 o’clock and conducted the remains from there to the church. Rev. Leeds preached the funeral sermon. Interment was in the Odd Fellow plat at Riverside cemetery. (Riverside Cemetery)

Death of Mrs. C. H. B. Hutchinson

Many Payette people were saddened on Friday to learn that Grandma Hutchinson had passed away at the home of her son, W. A. Hutchinson in this city. While she had been quite poorly for some time and her extreme age of over eighty two years, made her recovery very doubtful, the actual news of her passing came as a distinct shock to her large circle of close friends.

Saphornia Davis was born February 2, 1831, in Utica, McComb County, Michigan. In 1850 she was united in marriage to H. C. B. Hutchinson and this union was blessed by three sons, Louis Victor, deceased and H. C. and W. A. both well known residents of this city.

With her husband and family she came west to Portland in 1890 and to Payette in 1899 where she has resided ever since. Since 1904 when the husband and father was called, Grandma, as she was familiarly called by her many acquaintances, has made her home with her son W. A. When quite young she united with the Congregational church of which she remained a member until she left to join the church eternal. It is unnecessary to comment on Grandma's life. It was a quiet, consistent Christian life, filled with charity and love for all. She leaves a brother, two sons, four grand children to mourn her loss.

Funeral services were held at the Methodist church Sunday afternoon, Rev. Howarth officiating, interment being made in Riverside cemetery. (Riverside Cemetery)
