Frank Branham at Rest

The body of poor Frank Branham, the victim of a snowslide near the Crown mine 
in the Thunder Mountain district December 10, has at last been laid to rest in 
Riverside cemetery after two months of patient waiting by the sorrowing 
relatives. The party having the body in charge reached Meadows with it 
Saturday and it was shipped to Council. At that place it was met by Peter 
Pence of Payette who returned with it, arriving here Wednesday morning. The 
funeral services were conducted that afternoon at 1 o'clock from the Methodist 
church by the pastor Rev. J. D. Bird and Rev. T. S. Dulin of the Baptist 
church. A thoughtful and comforting discourse was delivered over the remains 
by the latter minister. The church was crowded with the friends of the 
deceased and sympathizers with the bereaved relatives. Services were conducted 
at the grave by Rev. Bird.

E. Frank Branham was born in Ohio 30 years ago the 30th of last October. With 
his parents he moved to Idaho about nine years ago, the family taking up their 
residence on Mann Creek, afterwards moving to Payette. Here the deceased lived 
for several years, known to all as a large-hearted, hard-working, honest young 
man, and a friend to all with whom he came in contact. While here he married 
Miss Belle Neal, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Neal of Falk's Store, and a son 
was born to them. With his wife and child the deceased afterwards moved to 
Meadows where he engaged in the blacksmithing business, but since the Thunder 
Mountain excitement he had turned his attention to that country and had been 
one of its most zealous and fearless developers, time and again braving the 
danger which finally came on him and cut him down in the career upon which he 
had entered with high hopes and boundless enthusiasm. May he rest in peace.
