The tragedy was first discovered by her brother, George Garvey, section foreman of the O. B. L. railroad, when he returned home from his work about 4 o'clock. He at once notified the authorities and Coroner H. T. Knight came down from New Plymouth, and after a thorough investigation decided that it was a clear case of suicide and that no inquest was necessary. The deceased was 38 years of age, and had resided in Payette since last September, when she was brought here by her brother, following the death of her mother in Butte, Montana. She had since made her home with Mr. and Mrs. Garvey at the railroad section house. Relatives had no previous intimation that she was unusually despondent and for sometime previous to her death had seemed more cheerful than usual. Mrs. Garvey was out of town on Saturday. Funeral services were held at Lauer's Undertaking Parlors Monday morning, the remains being interred in Riverside cemetery.

Surnames: Wells Classification: Obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/5d.2ADI/2156 Message Board Post: Payette Enterprise Payette, Idaho Thursday, March 9, 1922 EDITOR'S MOTHER CALLED BEYOND MRS. ALEXANDER WELLS Payette has again been saddened by the passing of one of its oldest and most respected residents, Mrs. Alexander Wells. Her spirit passed to the great beyond late Thursday afternoon, March 2nd., at the age of 79 years, five months, closing a long and useful Christian life. She is gone, but the influence of her loving disposition, kindly deeds, and true Christian principles, still lives in the hearts and minds of many friends and descendants. The deceased was born near Scheffield, England, and came with her parents to Moline, Ill., when she was seven years old. Sixty years ago she was married in Illinois to Alexander Wells, a pastor of the Christian Church who filled many pulpits in Illinois and Iowa. They moved to Payette from Iowa 22 years ago, where Mr. Wells continued his Christian work, frequently assisting other pastors by filling their pulpits, always assisted by his ever-willing wife and helpmate. The Reverend Wells passed away here on Oct. 2nd. 1916, leaving a bereaved widow and three stalwart sons who have ably carried on the work he so well started. Funeral services were conducted at the Christian Church, Sunday afternoon, the church was crowded with those who came to pay their last respects to one who has been generally loved and respected by all. Rev. Mowe preached a touching sermon, and emphasized the value and usefulness of a true Christian life such as was lived by the deceased who had been a faithful member of the church for 60 years. His words gave comfort solace to the mourners, that the deceased has now passed to her Greater Reward. Mrs. Wells is survived by three sons, six grandchildren, and 5 great-grand-children. Her surviving sons are: B. L. Wells, who conducts an orchard east of Payette, William Wells, Editor of the Enterprise; and Sterling Wells, a prosperous real estate dealer of Schaller, Iowa. The latter arrived in Payette in time to attend his mother's funeral. "By their fruits, ye shall know them". In addition to the above article written by Mr. Bartlet who kindly gave his assistance during our absence from the office, the Editor desires to add a few words -- the last sad right of a dear mother. It has been our privilege for more than a half century to live in the same community and to know almost every thought and act of the mother we have just lain to rest. Her life was one of devotion to others, almost her last words were expressing her wishes that those about her be made comfortable. In all her life we cannot recall one harsh word. It is a sad thought that she has gone forever from this world, but a consoling thought that for more than 60 years she has lived a true Christian life and that she was permitted to live so long and to do so much good. While it brings sadness to our hearts, we rejoice that her earthly sufferings are done and that she has gone to reap the rewards. We wish to express our gratitude to the many friends for the words of sympathy and other kindness extended to us during our sad bereavement.

Surnames: Wayne, Abrams Classification: Obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/5d.2ADI/2154 Message Board Post: Payette Enterprise Payette, Idaho Thursday, March 2, 1922 OBITUARY OF MRS. IRENE WAYNE Irene E. Wayne was born at Woodbine, Iowa, July 28, 1892, and departed this life, Feb. 28, 1922, at the age of 29 years, and 7 months. She was cut down in the prime of life, but no age is immune to the attack of death. Now we are reminded again if the words of St. James when he declares "What is queer life? It is even a vapor that appeareth for a little while and then vanisheth away." Death never waits for our revelation to make its abode. At the age of three she came with her parents to Idaho. A year later they moved to Kansas. From here they returned to Idaho when the deceased was 9 years of age, and this has since been her home. She was happily married to Henry Samuel Wayne, Nov. 17, 1907, who still survives and is keenly sensible of his loss. To this union seven children were born, two having died in infancy. The living are Minta aged 11, Herbert 9, Ruth 8, Velma 5, and Argyl 2. Many other relatives and friends survive, among them Mr. and Mrs. Abrams, the parents, and two sisters, one at Star, and Alma Lee at home. To all these and the friends the hour is dark but the sweet hope of the Christian is indeed comforting. "We shall meet beyond the river". But while these things are true, still in this once happy home, a vacant chair sits at the hearth stone. The deceased was known as one who was genial in temperment, kindly in disposition, and a loving wife and tender mother. She was a member of the Church of God and suffered and died with the comfort of Jesus in her heart. Heaven is now her home. "There grief is turned to pleasure Such pleasure as below No human voice can call better And after fleshly weakness And after this world's night And after storm and whirlwinds And calm and joy and light." Funeral services took place from the Baptist Church of Payette, on the afternoon of March 2, 1922, conducted by Rev. Argyl Houser. Note: Burial at Riverside Cemetery. ch

Although an immediate search was commenced for the youngster’s body it was not recovered until 11 a.m. Saturday morning a comparatively short distance away below where the lad had fallen into the water. Dennis Lynn was born in Payette Oct. 11, 1942. Besides his parents he is survived by a sister Leane and two brothers, Warren and Ronald, and his grandfather, N. P. Rasmussen of Burley. Funeral rites were held at the Landon-Shaffer funeral home Tuesday morning at 10 o’clock with Bishop Leonard Pease of the L. D. S. church in charge. Interment was at Rosedale Memorial Park. According to the story told by the father to coroner Gifford Shaffer, Dennis was playing on the bridge with a jug of water while his parents were working in a field nearby. The father said the youngster made no outcry as he fell into the water and therefore believes that his head may have struck a protruding stick to knock him unconscious. The parents immediately began a search for the missing youngster and notified authorities in town. The fire department was called out and firemen spent most of the rest of the evening and night patrolling banks of the canal looking for the youngster. The water was later turned out of the canal to aid in the search.
