PAYETTE GIRL DIES SUDDENLY
 
LARUE GORTON, AGED 19, PASSES UNEXPECTEDLY AFTER SHORT ILLNESS
 
When the sad news was quickly spread on last Friday morning announcing the 
death of Miss LaRue Gorton, many hearts in Payette were saddened, and a severe 
shock to her many near friends, who have known her since birth.
 
She was taken ill with inflammatory rheumatism about ten days previous to her 
death but was not thought to be in a critical condition and her sudden and 
unexpected death which came at an early hour Friday morning, November 29, at 
the home of her aunt, Mrs. Nora Loveland, brought  untold grief, not only to 
her relatives, but to the people of the entire community.
 
She was in the employ of the Mountain States Telephone company at Payette, 
where her pleasant voice at the switch board and accommodating service will be 
missed by many patrons of the company.  She was a graduate from the Payette 
high school with the class of 1928, and was one of Payette's most promising 
young ladies.
 
Miss Gorton was born at Payette, April 29, 1910 and continued to make Payette 
her home until the time of her death.
 
Those whom she leaves to mourn her early departure from this life are her 
father, J. H. Gorton of Grants Pass; two sisters, Mrs. Homer Fletcher of Long 
Beach, Calif.; Mrs. Pat Short of Grants Pass, Ore.; and one brother Arner 
Gorton of Riderwood, Wash.; an aunt Mrs. Nora Loveland and four cousins, 
Delois Loveland, Shelley Gale, and Allen Loveland, all of whom were present at 
the funeral except, Mrs. Fletcher, Gale and Allen Loveland, who were unable to 
be here.
 
The funeral was held from the M. E. church, Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock, 
conducted by the pastor, Rev. Albert Parrett, where a large gathering attended 
and many beautiful floral offerings gave evidence of love and respect.  The 
pall bearers were chosen from members of her graduating class, Ralph Shearer, 
Glen Levers, Max Gerlach, Marion Woods, Louis Miars and Keith Marshall.  
Interment was made in Riverside cemetery beside her mother who preceded her 
some three months ago and a brother who died in 1918.
 
CARD OF THANKS    
We wish to thank the many friends for their acts of kindness and words of 
sympathy during the sickness and at the death of our dear daughter and sister, 
and expecially those who gave the beautiful floral offerings.
J. B. GORTON
MRS. PAT SHORT
MRS. LOLA FLETCHER
ARNER GORTON
