BYRON GORTON

Byron Gorton, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Gorton, was born Oct. 18, 1898 at 
Crawford, Nebraska; died March 18, 1915 at his home in Payette, Idaho, age 16 
years 5 months.

Byron came to Payette with his parents when he was a very small child and has 
resided here since that time. People soon came to realize the value of his 
bright sunny disposition which never allowed gloom or discouragement to hover 
about, and his friendships grew rapidly. In school work he was above the 
average student and always ready to assist in any activity which would in any 
way enhance the reputation of the school or town. He was a very promising 
athlete, playing always a clean sportsmanlike game and accepting defeat with 
the same indifference which he did victory. The High School and Y. M. C. A. 
teams always received his support and counted his presence in a game as a long 
step toward success. He was a member of the X. L. Club. He was taken sick 
Wednesday, March 10, and died Thursday morning, March 18, 1915. His funeral 
was conducted by the Rev. Reed from the Presbyterian church, Saturday, March 
20, interment in the Riverside Cemetery.
