He was married to Bessie Louise Parmenter at Davenport, Washington, November 22, 1909 and shortly after came to Payette, where they settled on a homestead a few miles west on the Oregon side, where they lived until five years ago, moving at that time to Payette where they continued to live until the time of his death, with the exception of a few months spent in Pine Valley, Oregon. Ira was one of those kind hearted men who made many warm friends he was honest and upright in all his dealings with the public which won for him a very kindly feeling by many people in this community. He was converted to the cause of Christ when 14 years of age, joining at that time with the Presbyterian faith, and we believe it can be truthfully said, lived a good Christian life. Besides his wife, he is survived by two sons and one daughter, Dan, 14 years of age, Oren 11, and Marian 5. He is also survived by four brothers, 2 living at Sterling, Illinois, and one in Ohio, and one brother, Fred Book, of Pendleton, Oregon, who with his wife came to attend the funeral, also 3 sisters, one living at Sterling, Ill., and two at Des Moines, Iowa, all of whom will keenly feel the loss of a kind father, husband and brother. Funeral services were held from the Methodist church Friday, November 6th, at 2:30 conducted by Rev. Vernon Hall, pastor. Interment took place in Riverside cemetery.
