J. L. Fifer Answers the Call

With his family gathered around his bedside, at 8:35 o’clock last Friday night 
J. L. Fifer answered the call of his Master. He had been ill for the last two 
months with chronic inflammation of the bladder. He was 64 years, nine months 
and 27 days old, and left a wife and eight children, all of whom were with him 
at the last moments of his life.

Mr. Fifer had many friends in Payette as he had made his home here, residing 
on Park street, for the last two years. He was a member of the Methodist 
church and took a great deal of interest in his church work. He was born in 
Missouri August 8, 1839, and came to Idaho nine years ago from Montana, 
locating at Weiser, where he lived seven years before coming to Payette. His 
youngest son, Delbert, is engaged in business here.

His children are John A., of Harve, Ont., Mrs. A. Beckstead of Council, Ida., 
Harvey, of Deer Lodge, Mont.; William M., of Council, Ida.; Mrs. Frank Hahn of 
Council, Ida.; James L., of Salem, Ore.; Edward, of Weiser, Ida.; Delbert, of 
Payette.

The funeral services were held at 2 o’clock Sunday afternoon at the Methodist 
church, Rev. Long preaching the sermon. The remains were laid to rest in 
Riverside cemetery.
