The Payette Enterprise (Thursday, October 10, 1912)
NATIVE SON PASSES AWAY
Word was received in Payette Tuesday morning that a well known pioneer James Harrington had suddenly died at his home three miles southeast of Payette on the Payette river. The news came as a shock to this community as Mr. Harrington had been in Payette but a few days before and had not as that time complained of any illness. The immediate cause of his death was apoplexy and his death came without warning to the family. James Harrington was a native son of Idaho and was fifty five years old at the time of his death. 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. Interment being made in Riverside cemetery.
The deceased was a man of quiet disposition but withal made friends with all with whom he became acquainted. Like all pioneers he was fee handed and hospitable and will be missed by a large circle of friends.
