A Satisfactory Run Was Made Tuesday Morning and the Plant Accepted. The Payette creamery is now in full blast. The formal opening took place Tuesday morning, at which time a number of the stockholders and other citizens who feel an interest in the enterprise, among whom were not a few ladies, were shown through the building and everything was fully explained by Mr. Sweet, from the turning of the milk into the weighing tank all the way through the receiving tank, the separator, the cream ripening tanks, the church, the butter worker and so on to the refrigerator. At 9 o’clock the machinery was started and everything worked with the utmost accuracy and precision. Messrs. Chase, Toole and Coxe, executive committee of the shareholders, were taking careful observation, and, at the conclusion of the test run, the plant was accepted and a vote of thanks tendered Mr. R. W. Sweet for the careful and conscientious manner in which he had performed his work. We believe that every shareholder is satisfied and feels like recommending Mr. Sweet to the people of any community who may think about securing a creamery. Of the prizes given by Mr. Sweet to patrons furnishing milk, August Jacobsen secured the first, S. L. Sparks the second, and Anton Diederichsen and Jacob Stroup third and fourth. After today Payette merchants will be able to supply their customers with creamery butter of home manufacture, and we hope ere long to see the Payette creamery sending out large quantities of its product to all sections of the country.

Surnames: Cole, Geddings, Irwin Classification: Obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/5d.2ADI/1134.2 Message Board Post: The Payette Independent Payette, Idaho Thursday, November 12, 1925 O. D. COLE DIES SUDDENLY PROMINENT PAYETTE CITIZEN SUCCUMBS TO HEART-FAILURE AT OREGON CITY WHILE ENROUTS TO CALIFORNIA This community was greatly shocked Tuesday morning to receive the news of the death of O. D. Cole, formerly owner of the Payette Pharmacy and one of the prominent business men and citizens of our city. Only last Saturday morning Mr. and Mrs. Cole started by auto for California, where they expected to spend the winter. He was apparently in the best of health and spirits and looked forward to a pleasant sojourn among the southern winter resorts. They started by way of Portland and had passed through the city and were midway between Portland and Oregon City when it began to rain and Mr. Cole slowed up the speed of his car. Notwithstanding he was only running 25 miles an hour, the car skidded on the smooth highway and turned a figure eight. Mr. Cole would probably have held the car on the road had it not struck a pole and turned over. Mr. Cole was uninjured by the accident, but Mrs. Cole's right arm and shoulder were hurt. With the help of other travelers they got the car back on the highway and although it was damaged, he drove it on in to Oregon City where they took rooms at a hotel and prepared to remain while the car was taken back to Portland for repairs. Kind friends had rendered them every assistance and apparently Mrs. Cole was the only one who had suffered evil effects of the accident. Mr. Cole enjoyed a good dinner at the hotel Monday evening and sat around and smoked and read the evening paper as usual until time to retire for the night. As Mrs. Cole's injury pained her considerably, although the doctor stated that her arm was not broken, and Mr. Cole was solicitous about her, shortly after midnight Mrs. Cole says he asked her how she was feeling and they conversed a few moments before he again fell asleep. Tuesday morning when Mrs. Cole awakened she though him soundly sleeping and she quietly got up with the idea of letting him rest a little longer because of the extra exertions of the day before in getting the car out of the ditch. Seeing one of his hands uncovered she reached over and felt of it to see if he might be cold. The hand seemed colder than usual and still for a moment she did not realize what had happened. Then suddenly she felt uneasy and returned to the bed and placed her hand on his face only to find that he was cold in death. A physician was promptly summoned but he stated that Mr. Cole had probably died about 4 o'clock. Overexertion, when he assisted with the car was given as the probable cause of death. Mrs. Cole returned to Payette with the body last night and is now awaiting the arrival of relatives. His son, Elmer, of Salt Lake, and sister, Mrs. Emma Giddings, of Salt Lake, arrived yesterday and their daughter, Mrs. J. E. Irwin, and Mr. Cole's brother, Dr. E. J. Cole and wife, all of Woodbine, Iowa, are expected to arrive tonight. Funeral services will be held at the Methodist church Sunday afternoon at 2:30. Rev. Hall preaching the sermon, and the Odd Fellows will conduct the services at the grave. An obituary notice will be published next week. (The Payette Independent, Thursday, November 19, 1925) CARD OF THANKS We wish to express our thanks to the many friends and neighbors for their sympathy and kindness during our recent bereavement.

Two and one-half years ago he suffered a stroke of paralysis and has been in failing health since that time.

H. LESTER DIES AT SALEM, OREGON C. H. Lester, who with his wife, left Payette last fall for Salem, Ore., in hopes of regaining health, following a severe spell of illness last summer, died at that place Saturday, November 2nd, thus another of Payette's prominent and highly respected business men has been called to his reward. Mr. Lester has been a resident of this city for the past 21 years, and during the greater part of that time has been one of our prominent business men, taking his full share of the work in civic affairs and a great interest in helping to build up the community. He was a strong advocate for any movement to assist in the morals of the community. He was an ardent worker in the Christian faith, a member of the Baptist church of this city, where he was always found ready and willing to do his full share and more, in building up the organization for the cause of Christ. Mr. Lester was a good man. He will be missed in many ways. Mr. Lester was born at Islip, New York, April 2nd, 1874, and was married to Ella Pearl Kay at Chester, Wash., November 17, 1903. To them was born one son Harold, who died at the age of ten years. Mr. and Mrs. Lester came to Payette from Spokane, Wash., in 1903, and have continually lived here where they have many friends who will feel the loss with Mrs. Lester and other relatives and will extend to her their heart felt sympathy. The funeral was held from the Baptist church, Wednesday afternoon at 2:30, conducted by the pastor, Rev. Fraser. During the services all business houses were closed. Interment was made in Riverside cemetery.

LESTER CALLED BY DEATH PAYETTE BUSINESS MAN PASSED AWAY AT SALEM, OREGON, SATURDAY That death loves a shining light was again made evident to the citizens of Payette when the news reached us that the grim reaper had sounded the eternal call for Charles H. Lester, a former business man in this city who had disposed of his business and gone to Salem, Oregon, in the hope that a temporary change would benefit his health. For a couple of years Mr. Lester had been in poor health and on more than one occasion before he left here his life had been despaired of, but he rallied and it was hoped that a change of climate and a rest from business cares would have the desired result. It was understood when he left that he would return, as he loved Payette, but little did his friends think that only the body of our friend would return. Charles H. Lester was born in Islip, New York, April 2, 1874, and died at Salem, Oregon, Nov. 30, 1929, at the age of 55 years, seven months and 28 days. He came to Payette from Spokane, Wash., 21 years ago and had resided here ever since until a couple of months ago. He was married to Ella Pearl Kay at Chester, Washington, on November 17,1903, and one son, Harold, who died at the age of ten, was born to them. The wife is left, but not to mourn alone as the entire community have mingled their tears with hers and they will always hold him in affectionate remembrance. Mr. Lester typified the quiet, unostentatious, extremely lovable Christian gentleman. The outpouring at his funeral, which was held at the Baptist church Wednesday afternoon at 2.30 was a testimonial to the esteem in which he was held by everybody, and the beautiful tribute by his pastor, Rev. L. G. Fraser, portrayed in eloquent terms the nobleness of his character and the life of sacrifice and devotion he had lived. There were no dry eyes at the conclusion of the service and every face depicted the personal loss the individual was suffering. He loved his God, he loved his family, he loved his church, he loved the companionship of Christian people and he loved his fellowmen as few do, and the richness of his experience beamed upon his countenance until to be in his presence was to imbibe some of the joys and blessings of his wonderful life. He was laid to rest in Riverside cemetery, and as his mortal remains were returned to earth from whence it came, there was not one who knew him who doubted that his spirit had taken its flight to realms above.
