B. R. FITCH CALLED BY DEATH
 
PROMINENT PAYETTE BUSINESS MAN PASSED AWAY AT ONTARIO HOSPITAL EARLY THIS 
MORNING
 
Payette has never received a sadder blow than came at an early hour this 
morning when it was announced that B. R. Fitch, prominent real estate and 
insurance man of this place had passed away at the hospital at Ontario, where 
he had undergone an operation for appendicitis Sunday morning.
 
In the prime of life, apparently in the best of health and vigor and as full 
of enthusiasm for the upbuiding of his community, the writer met Burt Fitch 
for the last time Saturday.  Although it developed he had been slightly ailing 
there was nothing in his manner or alertness to indicate that he had not a 
score of years ahead of him, and yet before nightfall he was stricken with 
acute appendicitis and went to the hospital to undergo an operation the next 
morning.
 
The operation was apparently very successful and he got along fine until 
Monday evening when paralysis of the bowels developed and he took a serious 
turn for the worse.  Every method known to medicine or surgery was resorted 
to, but to no avail.  A consolation of surgeons Wednesday ended with the sad 
announcement that there was no hope.
 
The family are shocked beyond compare but the grief stricken wife, who had 
been more or less of an invalid for several years, is bearing up nobly under 
the weight of the blow.
 
No arrangements have yet been made for the funeral as word is waited from 
relatives in the east.
