He was taken with a severe attack of Influenza some two months ago and had recovered sufficiently to be about when a relapse and complication set in that seemed to baffle all medical aid and on Friday of last week was removed to the hospital where he grew rapidly worse ending in his death early Tuesday morning. He was born near Little Sioux, Iowa, Feb. 16, 1856, where he grew to manhood coming to Payette in the Spring of 1883, he was one of those sturdy pioneers who endured the hardships bravely and took part in the building up of Payette where he has constantly made his home for nearly forty years. His disposition was to look upon the bright side of life and to deal fairly with his fellow man, and was always ready and willing to lend assistance where it was most needed. He is survived by one daughter Mrs. Carrie Sims now living at Memphis, Tenn., one brother and sister in Iowa, and one brother, a minister, living at Independence, Mo., two half sisters in Omaha, Neb., two half brothers Tom and James Shearer, both former residents of Payette, the latter arriving here from Rogerson, Idaho, Wednesday morning. Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at four o'clock from Lauer's Undertaking Parlors, conducted by Rev. E. E. Long of Lamoni, Iowa, who came to Caldwell, a few days ago on another mission, and to Payette, Tuesday evening at the request of a sister of the deceased who lives at Lamoni, that he might meet her brother and other relatives little thinking he would be called upon to preach his funeral sermon. Interment was made in Riverside cemetery beside his wife who preceded him in 1917.

AMELIA WILLIAMS Mrs. Amelia Williams, wife of David H. Williams, was born at Jackson County, Ohio, April 12, 1845, and departed this life at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Philip Krost, May 4, 1922, her age therefore being 74 years and 22 days. She was converted at the age of 15 years and was ever a firm believer in Christianity and as such she has awakened in the Savior's likeness. She was a member of the Payette Church of God, and ever filled her place well. At Jackson, Ohio, June 25, 1870, occured the happy marriage of Miss Amelia Storer to David H. Williams, who passed away May 20, 1920, another happy reunion in eternity. The union was blessed with four children still living, one son, W. R. Williams of Payette; three daughters, Mrs. P. H. Krost of Payette, Mrs. Mary McClure of Fruitland, and Mrs. Adma Bowman of Cove, Ark. Besides these three lives after her twelve grand-children and one brother-in-law and one sister-in-law, and a large circle of relatives and neighbors. But to these this sad hour is not the end of fellowship. Heaven is home and we will know each other there. "Dearest mother, we must lay thee In the peaceful graves embrace, But thy memory will be cherished Till we see thy heavely face." In 1886 Mr. and Mrs. Williams moved to Nebraska. In 1903 they moved to Idaho and this has since been their home. Thus Payette again loses a true and loving Mother, a royal neighbor and friend, and it is again true, "Children arise and call her blessed". Funeral services from the Church of God conducted by her pastor, Rev. Argyl Houser assisted by Rev. Hershel Shanks and Rev. N. H. Farnham. The Parsons' quartet rendered beautiful music.

James Wallace in company with other men who were camping near the Snake river bridge just north of town on their way to the construction camp of the Oregon Highway, merely by chance found the body of the little innocent victim. He was walking along the bank of the river just west of the cemetery where the bank extends above the water some 25 or 30 feet and seeing a new grain pack that had apparently been thrown over the bank among a lot of tin cans and other rubbish, thought to save the sack, went down and found the sack tied with what appeared to be a lot of rags inside, he cut the string, dumped the contents and was greatly shocked to find the body of an infant child inside, a blood stained flour sack, together with an old dirty coat, towels and other rags. He at once notified the authorities who deeming the case of so importance, demanded the attention of the County Coroner who held an in quest over the little body at the court house, Friday afternoon, the verdict of th! e jury being as follows: "In the above entitled matter we, the jury, find as follows: That the infant child came to its death from exposure, and from the evidence, its identity could not be ascertained". From expert testimony given in the hearing it is firmly believed that the child, a fine baby boy, about 11 pounds, red hair and blue eyes, born about twenty-four hours before, had been thrown over the bank into the rubbish pile alive. A cut over the left eye (presumably from striking on some sharp object) had bled freely and seared over would be sufficient evidence to bear out the belief, a cold-blooded murder of the worst type, in a civilized community where we send missionaries into foreign countries to civilize and christianize the heathens who in the worst of heathenizm would shirnk from such a crime. the perpetraters of this act are undoubtedly in this immediate vicinity and without any question their are those who are in possession of evidence that would assist the officers who are seeking to locate the guilty parties. Any one with holding such information are in a manner almost as guilty as the parties who commit the act.

ATTEBERRY Willie Austin Atteberry, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Atteberry, was born at Eagle Valley, Oregon, July 29, 1903, and departed this life at his home on Dead Ox Flat, April 29, 1922, at the early age of 18 years, 9 months, but no age immune to the attack of death. In 1906 he came with his parents to Payette and practically all his life was spent in and near this city. He leaves to live after him and mourn their loss his parents and three brothers, Lawrence, Frank and James, at present all at home. Beside these are many relatives and friends. To all these the hour is dark but all homes are sooner or later broken up. "There is no flock however watched of tended But one dead lamb is there, There is no fireside howsoever defended, But has one vacant chair". All dearest friendships and fellowships are interrupted, Farewell! Is it indeed farewell? No, it is "until we meet again". There is to be a time of knitting up severed friendships, what else could our Master have meant when he said, "In my father's hours are many mansions, I go to prepare a place for you" Home, Sweet Home. Had Willie lived he would have graduated with the 1922 H.S. class. He was a cheerful, hard-working student and a true blue pal on the athletic field. He loved the out-door life and he ever honored the students who were true to Christ and his principles. His sufferings during the past two months from the disease which took his life were almost too great to be born but through it all he was patient and ever considerate of others. Near the end of his life he joyously accepted Christ as his Savior. The entire community extends deepest sympathy to the bereaved family. Funeral services Sunday afternoon from the M. E. Church, conducted by Rev. Argyl Houser of the church of God, who spoke from John 14:31, Rev. C. L. Walker, assisted. Note: Burial at Riverside. ch
