PROMINENT PIONEER CALLED TO REST

Coleman S. French, one of Payette County's most respected citizens, died at 
his home near New Plymouth Saturday evening at 7 o'clock after a long 
continued illness. He had been in failing health for several years but was not 
confined to his bed but a few days. Funeral services were held from the home 
Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock conducted by Rev. Knight when the largest 
procession of sorrowing friends ever witnessed, followed to the last resting 
place at the New Plymouth Cemetery.

Mr. French was highly respected not only in his own community but throughout 
the state of Idaho. He was one of the early settlers in the Payette Valley and 
was one of the main factors in the upbuilding of Southern Idaho. He was a good 
neighbor and will be greatly missed in his community.

Coleman S. French was born November 27, 1847 at Borrie, Vermont and departed 
this life June 5th, 1920, age 72 years, 6 months and 9 days. He was a graduate 
of the Borrie Academy, taught school one year, moved to Chicago in 1866, and 
later to Marshalltown where he was in the employ of the Iowa Central Railroad 
for 20 years; then moved to the State of Ohio where he started a wholesale 
Drygoods store, and came to Idaho in 1898 where he continued to live until the 
time of his death.
