FORMER RESIDENT KILLED BY ACCIDENT
 
Mr. H. H. Clay, a well known and highly respected citizen of this community 
died at his home in Boise last Friday morning as the result of an accident the 
evening before.  Mr. Clay was night man at one of the Boise garages and was 
given a ride home in a delivery truck from his work about eight o'clock in the 
evening and when near his house jumped from the car while moving causing him 
to fall striking his head upon the pavement.  He was taken to the Emergency 
hispital in an unconscious condition, but soon regained consciousness and was 
thought not to be seriously injured.  He was taken to his home where he was 
able to walk into the house and said he would soon be all right and went to 
bed and was soon asleep.  A few hours later his wife became alarmed as his 
breathing seemed to be unnatural and called a physician but all efofrts to 
restore him was of no avail and he passed away shortly after without regaining 
consciousness.  His remains were brought to Payette Sunday morning where the 
funeral was held from the Lauer's Undertaking Parlor, at two o'clock in the 
afternoon.  Besides a wife, he is survived by two sons and three daughters; 
Harry Clay of Lewiston, Loren Clay of New Meadows, Mrs. Margaret Jones of 
Butte, Mont., Mrs. J. E. Patterson of New Meadows, and a younger daughter of 
Butte, Mont.   Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Patterson and Harry were present at the 
funeral, the other son and daughter being unable to come.
 
Mr. Clay was for several years a resident of Payette moving from this place 
about three years ago.  He was a man of high standing in the community and his 
untimely death was a shock to many.  He was past 6? years of age but hale and 
hearty at the time of the fatal accident.
