FOUND DEAD IN BED
George H. Winters Passed Away at Commercial Hotel Sometime Tuesday Morning
George H. Winters who made his home at the Commercial Hotel in this city, was found dead in his bed Tuesday. He was around town Monday evening and when he retired at night seemed to be in the best of health. Tuesday morning when the chamber maid went to his room in the performance of her duties she found the door locked and thought he was just sleeping late. However, later in the day when he did not make his appearance the matter was reported and the door was forced open. He was found lying as though he was asleep and had evidently peacefully slept away in the early morning.
George H. Winters was born in Illinois in 1858 and died March 5, 1929.
He is survived by a brother, Charles Winter of Fruitland, the only surviving member of the family.
Mr. Winter has lived in this community for the past fifteen years.
Funeral services were held at the Peterson Home Undertaking Parlors at 3 p. m. Wednesday.
Rev. Roseberry of Fruitland read the funeral services.
