THOMAS HARTUNG LAID TO REST
Thomas Hartung was born in west Penn, Schuylkill Co., Pennsylvania, on May 11, 1851, died April 13th, 1918, age 66 years, 11 months and 3 days. In 1877 he went to Akron, Indiana. In 1880 he went to Caroll, Iowa. On Nov. 3rd, 1883 he was married to Mary Faust.
In the spring of 1900 with his family he moved to Payette, Idaho. Besides his wife he leaves to mourn his death, four children; Charles, Sam, William, and Mrs. Warren Dorothy, also four grandchildren, three brothers and three sisters in Pennsylvania.
Mr. Hartung was a kind and loving husband and father. He was a good neighbor, was generous and always ready to lend a helping hand to all.
Mr. Hartung was apparently in good health, transacting business up to the day of his death. Having retired early, he slept awhile, awoke, conversed with his wife and without complaining, suddenly died. He was held in high esteem by his neighbors and friends as attested by the large attendance at the funeral, which was one of the largest held in Payette, thirty-one cars were in the procession to the cemetery. Many from out of town were present, among them old friends of the family, R. R. Woodring from Nampa and H. Nolan from Caldwell. The services were held in the Christian Church, Rev. N. H. Farnham, officiating. The floral offerings covered the casket and were very beautiful.
