Another old pioneer has passed away. Mr. James B. Golden died Monday morning 
at 10:30 o'clock September 8, 1901,(should be 1902) at his home in Washoe near 
Payette. The funeral took place from the family residence Tuesday afternoon at 
2 o'clock, being conducted by members of the Catholic church. The remains were 
laid to rest in Riverside cemetery. He lived and died an earnest adherent to 
the Catholic faith.

The deceased was 60 years of age. He was born in Boston, when quite young was 
taken to New York state, where he lived until 1863, when he came west to 
Butte, Mont., where he stayed until 1871. He then went to The Dalles, Ore., 
where he met and married his wife a Miss Isabella Long. After their marriage 
they moved to Goldendale, Wash., where they remained for nearly four years. 
They then returned to Oregon, near Vale where his brother-in-law Mr. N. C. 
Long resided. From there they came to Payette in 1893, bought them a home in 
Washoe near that place where he had since engaged in farming and stock raising.

Seven children have been blessed their union, four boys and three girls. There 
are two grand children, son and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. R. Draper of Vale, 
Ore.

James Golden was a man who conformed as nearly to the golden rule of 
doing "unto others as you would have them do unto you" as seems possible for 
human nature. He was temperate in his habits, quiet and retiring in his life, 
and was honored and respected by all who knew him. He was a devoted husband, a 
kind and loving father. He loved and delighted in little children wherever he 
met them. Their natural grace and innocence appealed to him with unusual 
strength and seemed a bond between them. His undiscouraged will was patient to 
the last, bearing his suffering in silence while seeking to comfort and cheer 
the loved ones about him. 

Rest brave man, thy life work done.
As thou has seen it best.
Thy loving deeds shall still live on.
Thy dear ones" lives tombless.
A Friend
