ALMOST TOO LATE NEWS FROM FRUITLAND
Jacob Shearer, sixty years old, died at his home, one mile east of Fruitland, Tuesday evening at six o'clock, with bronchial pneumonia. He has been a sufferer with asthma for years but even his family and closest neighbors did not realize his serious illness and his death came as a surprise. He, with his family, came here about five years ago. He leaves a wife and ten children, four girls and six boys, four of them living at home, one of them being away at Jimmerson, Ore., at the time of death, one living at Ferdinand, Idaho, four children living in Nebraska, and one in Minnesota. All of those away have been notified of his death. Funeral arrangements have not been made but he will probably be buried in the Payette cemetery.
