WILLIAM UREN PASSES

William Uren, one of Payette's substantial business men, passed away at the Holy Rosary Hospital at Ontario, Monday, at 5 o'clock a. m., of an organic trouble. He had been ailing for some time and a week previous to his death was taken to the hospital where an operation was contemplated. It was found, however, that his condition was such that he could not endure the operation, and his condition gradually grew rapidly worse until death relieved his suffering.

William Uren was born April 1, 1857 at Dutch Flat, California. He came to Payette more than a quarter of a century ago and at first was employed by Mr. Satoris. About 23 years ago he engaged in the harness and saddlery business for himself and continued in the business until his death.

Funeral services were held at the Landon undertaking parlors at 2:30 Tuesday afternoon and were conducted by Rev. Thos. Ashworth, rector of St. James Episcopal church, after which interment took place at Riverside cemetery.

The deceased leaves an only sister, Mrs. M. E. Hulley, a nephew, George Cornelius, and a niece, Marion Crawford.
