Final Tribute Paid George Windle Monday
Many old-time friends and neighbors gathered at the Christian church here Monday afternoon to pay final tribute to George W. Windle, former resident who died Friday at Summer Camp near Baker. The Rev. P. Richard Campbell officiated and the Cross-weight funeral home of Baker had charge of arrangements. Burial was in Rosedale memorial park.
George Windle was born near Plain City, Ohio, on Nov. 29, 1864, and came here more than 50 years ago when his family homesteaded in Washoe. About 1890 Mr. Windle homesteaded 160 acres opposite the chapter house three miles north of Payette. In the neighorhood of 10 years ago he moved with his family to Weiser and later to the Baker district.
He is survived by his widow, four children, Mack, J. C., Ruth and Rosemary Windle and Mrs. Grace West; three stepchildren, Warren McDonald, Mrs. Alice Moorehead and Mrs. Margaret Walker; four sisters, Mrs. Dan Coats, Mrs. Will Eberle, Mrs. Will Wyman and Mrs. Bill Young and five grandchildren.
