GEORGE BOOR LAID TO REST

SUCCUMBS AFTER LINGERING ILLNESS OF 18 MONTHS
WAS A RESIDENT HERE FOR TWENTY YEARS

After a long and vigorous struggle of 18 months to stay the hand of death, 
George Boor, well known citizen of the lower Snake River valley, passed away 
at the home of his daughter in Boise on New Year's day. Mr. Boor was first 
taken ill in July, 1929, and soon after his condition became critical, his 
relatives and attending physicians entertained but little hope of his recovery 
and for several weeks the end was expected hourly, but his iron constitution 
and strong will power baffled the dreaded disease, medically known as chronic 
nephritis and myocarditis, and for a time it was thought he might again fully 
recover. In September of that year he was removed to Boise, where he was given 
every known medical attention at the hospital and at the home of his daughter, 
where loving hands gave every means of comfort, in hopes that might be 
restored, but to no avail. He was patient and full of hope until the very 
last, which came at 4:45 on New Year's day.

George Allen Boor was born in the state of Missouri, February 15, 1876, and 
moved with his parents to Nebraska in October, 1889 and was united in marriage 
to Caroline Lockner at Linwood, Neb., June 21, 1897. To this union seven 
children were born, who, with his wife, still survive. The children are John 
N. Boor and Mrs. Wm. H. Switzer of Walla Walla, Wash, Mrs. Benjamin Beal and 
Robert Boor of Fruitland, Charles Boor, Frank Boor, and Mrs. Ray Tanlund of 
Boise, at whose home he passed away.

Mr. and Mrs. Boor and family came to New Plymouth in the spring of 1903 and 
for 15 years, Mr. Boor was employed by the Mountain State Telephone company 
and the Idaho Power company, and 12 years in the service of the State of Idaho 
as deputy game warden, which position he held at the time of his death.

George was a splendid type of manhood, exceptionally large in statue, strong 
and rugged, yet kind and gentle in disposition.

During his 12 years of service as an officer of the law, he made friends 
rather than enemies. He was kind to his family, honest an fair with his fellow 
men in all his dealings. He will be keenly missed in this community, where he 
has lived and made friends for the past 27 years. Besides his immediate family 
he is survived by eight grand children, two brothers, James H. Boor of 
Ontario, Ore., and Charley E. Boor of Ironside, Ore. Three sisters, Mrs. 
Laural Wells, Pioneerville, Ida., Mrs. Pete Grischkowsky and Mrs. Chas. E. 
Lockner of Fruitland, Ida.

Funeral services were held Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the Brethren 
church at Fruitland, and were conducted by the Rev. Hershal Shanks, assisted 
by C.H. Sargent. The pall bearers were six game wardens, including State Game 
Warden, R. E. Thomas of Boise, and the Deputy Warden from Ada county, Frank 
Townley, deputy for Weiser, Chas. McClees of Ontario, Mr. McCormick , deputy 
from Parma, Mr. Wakefield of Caldwell. In the large attendance were members of 
the Modern Woodmen of America, of which the deceased was a member.
