    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Haynes Classification: Biography Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/5d.2ADI/1961 Message Board Post: The Idaho Magazine July 1905 Vol. 1, No. 11 Thumb-Mail Sketch of Mayor R. E. Haynes, Representative Type of Payette Valley Citizens and Shining Example of the Possibilities of this Section. A handful of words will give the reader an idea of what manner of man the new mayor of Payette is. He is at once representative and illustrative of the grand possibilities of Payette and its enframing empire. Moreover, the fact that his citizenship here has been crowded into something less than four years is its own handsome commentary on the character of the man and the way he has raced into the hearts and confidence of his fellow citizens. This is a turning point in the history, by the way, when the mayorship of the rapidly growing city of Payette calls for a clean cut choice of attitude on all vital public questions, such, indeed, as the new mayor is richly endowed with, for he is simultaneously the embodiment of public enterprise and immaculately clean citizenship. His one ambition is the healthful advancement of the region of his new home, and the betterment of his fellow citizens, financially and morally. Enviable the record of his achievements since Payette became his home. He was the master energy in organizing the Payette Independent Telephone company, an institution which has truly been a boon to the business men and the settlers of all the country side, as it brings Payette and New Plymouth and the farmers and ranchers in all the surrounding country within chatting distance of each other, at the minimum charge of only $1.25. Moreover, it gives them access to the outside world, be means of long distance telephone connection. Mr. Haynes is the present secretary and general manager of the company, and is also secretary of the New Plymouth Land and Colonization Co., and the Idaho-Oregon Colonization company. Mr. Haynes is a native of Ohio. Moved to Washington, Ind. in 1866. Attended the State Agricultural College, at La Fayette, Ind. and migrated to Idaho in 1901, from Kansas, where he had been railroading for 15 years. Mr. Haynes has handsomely demonstrated his faith in the soil and in the future of this section by purchasing two ranches of 140 acres, on the bench all gilt edge land. A special work has been taken up by Mr. Haines in the education of young men in the practical duties of life. His father was prominent in politics, and law and we find Mr. Haines a town and state maker by predilection and training, and can but congratulate the state, and especially Payette on his citizenship.

    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Ficken Classification: Biography Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/5d.2ADI/1960 Message Board Post: The Idaho Magazine July 1905 Vol. 1, No. 11 H. R. Ficken, (Payette’s Latest Acquisition in the Lumber Line.) Lumbering is well represented in Payette, but none too well, for the great demand for building materials admits of healthy competion in this line here and competion is the life of trade. A comparative stranger in the city and state is H. R. Ficken, who less than four months ago came west from Bison, Kansas, and purchased the business and good will of the Thompson Lumber Co. Mr. Ficken is a lumber and grain dealer of long experience, and will undoubtedly meet with well deserved success in his adopted western home. He is a man of genial good nature, and one who impresses the stranger with his honesty and frankness in dealing. His stock is choice and his prices are reasonable. All building material is kept on hand such as lumber, lath, shingles, sash and doors, mouldings, building paper, lime, cement, etc. A specialty is made of fruit boxes, while several grades of coal are also to be had here at prices which challenge competition. In short Mr. Ficken is here to stay, and as he is a man who believes in giving patrons full value for money received, his place in the future growth of Payette is positively assured, and he may be considered as one of the sturdy, progressive class of men in the possession of whom this city is very fortunate.

To her was given the name --Rebecca Alice. She passed the period of infancy and childhood as common children do. Arrived at womanhood, she was united in marriage with J. S. Fairman, with whom she lived until his recent death, then after a few weeks of waiting she followed him to the great beyond, and on Monday, October 21st -- just fourscore and six years after her birth -- her body was laid to rest beside the husband with whom she had lived for more than 62 years. Mrs. Fairman was of the quiet, modest type, faithful to every duty, patient in the vicisitudes of life, singularly interested and alert, for one of her age, in the movoments of the busy world. For several years her health and strength have been on the wane and realized full well that the time of her departure drew near. She feared not to go, but desired to remain to care for her husband until the sands of life, for him, should have run. Her wish was granted, and soon after his departure, she laid her down to rise no more. She was tenderly cared for by her children as the end drew near and lack-for nothing that could minister to her comfort. She died on the eve of Saturday, October 19th, "just as the sun went down." With her, we hope and trust it was RISING of the sun of an eternal day. Funeral services were held at the home on Monday afternoon conducted by Rev. J. E. Sears. Abundant and beautiful floral offerings bore record of the respect and esteem in which she was held in the community where she has lived so long. The families bereaved have the sincere sympathy of all.

S. WHITE'S BROTHER DIES IN FRANCE Word Received Does Not Tell Cause of His Death Roy S. White received a telegram on Wednesday morning of the death of his brother, John R. White, of Lincoln, Nebraska, who died at Base Hospital 24 in France, at the age of 24 years. The cause of his death was not given in the telegram, but it is thought that it was from the result of wounds received by him on July 24, an account of which is taken from a letter written by his nurse on August 14, to the parents; "My Dear Mrs. White: I am writing to you in behalf of your son, Corporal J. Raymond White, Co. C 30th Infantry, who is at present at Base Hospital 24. "Your son is wounded pretty badly, in the eyes. The bullet went right across his face, taking both eyes and the bridge of his nose. White was wounded July 24, and reached this hospital July 30. When he first came to the hospital and for a week or so more, he was pretty blue and depressed. "I am returning to the states in a few weeks, and if you care to ask any questions you might write me at 106 Marlboro Street, Boston, Mass. Sincerely yours, Elizabeth C. Putman, Jr." Mr. White was a student at York college when he enlisted shortly after America entered the world war. He played on the all-star football team in 1916 and was a member of the Hastings college eleven in 1915 and the university state farm team one year.

Surnames: Fairman, McCain Classification: Obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/5d.2ADI/1952 Message Board Post: New Plymouth Sentinel New Plymouth, Idaho Thursday, August 8, 1918 AN OLD MAN GOES TO HIS REST Pioneer of the Payette Valley Passes Away Sunday Morning James S. Fairman quietly passed away at his home in our village on Sunday, August 4th, after having lived for well toward 88 years. He was born in Indiana, in the state of Pennsylvania, on the 6th day of March in the year 1831. He grew to manhood near the place of his birth and on December 21, 1854 was united in marriage with Rebekah E. McCain of Armstrong County. The next year the young pair moved to Marshalltown, Iowa, and established their home. Here they remained for ten years, when they came to New Plymouth in 1903. Ten children were born to Mr. and Mrs.Fairman, eight of whom survive. There are also fourteen grand-children and twelve great-grand children of varying ages and different names, that sprang from this family. If each of these fill their place and of their part as well and faithfully as did this progenitor, then a goodly share of labor and of trust will have been so met as to merit the"Well Done" of his fellow-men. For more than 63 years the Union begun on their marriage day continued, and she who is widowed after so long, and late in life, knows full well that her loneliness cannot be for! very long. She knows, equally well, that while she remains, the same care and solicitude for her comfort and happiness will be exercised toward her, by her children, that she gave so unstintingly to the husband with whom she lived so long. Mr. Fairman learned the carpenter's trade in his young manhood and followed that line of work through all his life. Many a piece of work did he undertake and finish after he had passed the four-score mark. He scarcely ceased to work until he ceased to live. In early life he was associated with the Presbyterian church, where he held positions of trust and responsibility. Himself and wife united with the Congregational church of this place, and for many years he held the office of deacon. A few years ago he resigned because of unceasing infirmities. Instead of accepting his resignation the church elected him "Deacon Emeritus" for life, so that he died with the honor of that office upon him. Funeral services were held at the home on Wednesday, the 7th and were conducted by Rev. J. E. Sears pastor, assisted by Rev. H. F. Knight, former pastor. Mrs. Fairman and family have the comfort and support that a kind and sympathetic community afford. APPRECIATION Mrs. J. S. Fairman and family take this method of expressing their appreciation and gratitude for the kind sympathy and ready assistance proffered us during the illness and death of our husband and father.
