Death of H. C. Waterman
Henry C. Waterman, well known in the lower Payette Valley, died at his home in this city on the morning of May 2nd, of pneumonia, after an illness of two weeks. Funeral services were conducted from the Christian church, of which deceased had long been a member, at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon. The sermon was preached by Rev. G. L. Surber, after which the remains were escorted to Riverside cemetery by the local Masonic lodge and a large procession of friends and neighbors, where the burial took place with Masonic honors, according to the impressive ritualistic ceremonies of that ancient order.
Henry C. Waterman removed with his family from Columbus, Ohio, to the Payette Valley four years ago last September and settled on a piece of land on the Payette bench, which he improved and made valuable. He moved into town last fall, devoting his attention to the real estate business. His age was 61 years and 10 days.
