Death of T. C. Maupin removes Another Pioneer
 
FUNERAL AT 2 THIS AFTERNOON
 
Was Actively Engaged in Business Here Until Stricken with Paralysis Three 
Years Ago
 
Thomas C. Maupin, the pioneer Boise blacksmith died Saturday.  The funeral 
will be held from the family residence, corner of Grove and Ninth streets, at 
2 o'clock this afternoon.  The Masons will attend the funeral in a body and 
conduct the services at the grave.
 
The death of Mr. Maupin removes another of the pioneers of this state.  The 
deceased was born in Virginia in 1841 and came to Idaho in the fall of 1864, 
making Boise his home.
 
Until the spring of 1896 he was actively engaged in the blacksmith business 
here.  In March of that year he suffered an attack of partial paralysis.  The 
paralysis gradually extended over his body, rendering him as helpless as a 
child.  During the past year he was confined to his bed being unable to move 
without help.  For a week prior to his death he was delirious and there were 
other indications that the end was not far off.
 
During the time Mr. Maupin was engaged in business here he enjoyed an enviable 
reputation for straightforwardness in all his dealings.  From a small 
beginning he built up a big business and was preparing to launch out on even a 
broader scale when he was stricken.  Since that time his sons have conducted 
the business, receiving valuable counsel from the bed-ridden father so long as 
he was in condition to give any thought to the details of the business.
