PAYETTE PIONEER PASSES AWAY

P. H. BROWN, REAL ESTATE DEALER AND COMPREHENSIVE BUSINESS MAN

Many hearts were saddened when it was learned that P. H. Brown, who for 22 
years has been a resident of Payette and vicinity, had suddenly passed away. 
Mr. Brown had not been in good health for some time but his sudden death came 
as a surprise and a shock to us all. Death was due to heart trouble and 
hardening of the arteries. During the day, Thursday, he had been comparatively 
well and worked most of the time in the garden. Friday morning the little boys 
got up about 6:30 and after building the fire, called their mother who after 
getting up noticed Mr. Brown turn over and seemed to be in distress. She went 
to him and tried to raise him in bed, but found he was in a rigid condition 
and in a few seconds passed away without regaining consciousness.

Mr. Brown will be greatly missed in this community. He was a ? hearted man 
always ready to help in every effort to advance the movements to better 
Payette and vicinity. He had no enemies, but had many friends. His affliction 
deprived him of many social pleasures in this life, but he has gone where 
sorrows and afflictions are unknown.

Percy H. Brown was born in England about 48 years ago, moved to Manitoba, 
Canada, with his parents when about 18 years old, living there about one year, 
from there moving to Dakota, and 22 years ago he came to the Payette Valley, 
settling on what is now the Manneman ranch south of Fruitland. He was married 
to Tena Grotie in New Mexico about 14 years ago and since that time has been a 
resident of Payette. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Thos. 
Ashworth from the Episcopal Church Sunday Morning at 8 o'clock. The body was 
taken to Boise on the morning train by A. I. Adair, the family going overland 
with Rev. Ashworth in an automobile. The services were conducted at Morris 
Hill cemetery at 4 p.m. by the Woodmen of the World of which Order he was a 
prominent member. Besides a wife and four children, he leaves to mourn his 
loss, an aged mother, one brother and one sister, all of whom live in Boise, 
who have the deepest sympathy of a host of friends both at Payette and Boise.
