H. HARLAND PASSES AWAY

FORMER PROMINENT CITIZEN OF PAYETTE DIED IN PORTLAND LAST FRIDAY EVENING

It is with feelings of deepest regret that the news of the death of Herbert 
Harland, who died at Portland, Oregon, Friday evening, July 25, is recorded in 
the Independent. Although it was known that Mr. Harland was in poor health no 
one realized his immediate danger and his death came as a distinct shock to 
his old time friends here and to all citizens of Payette and Southwestern 
Idaho.

Mr. Harland was born in Scalton, Yorkshire, England, September 25, 1862, and 
came to Sauk Rapids, Minn., when he was a young man 18 years of age. He was 
married there and four of the children, Ferrin G., Albert M., Irene and Jane, 
were born there. The other child, Joseph H. was born in St. Paul, Minn.

A man of more than ordinary ability, Mr. Harland was not long in proving his 
worth in the land of his adoption and he was soon recognized by the government 
and appointed rural route and postoffice inspector. For twenty years he served 
the government in this capacity, but owing to Mrs. Harland's health failing he 
resigned and came to Payette in 1908 and purchased a fruit ranch north of 
town, which is still the family home.

During his residence in Idaho Mr. Harland served for five years as a regent of 
the Idaho State University, two years as register of the state land board, a 
term as state fruit inspector and for four years was master of the state 
grange. He was a man of the strictest probity of character; a man who believed 
a public office was a public trust; and one who served his community and state 
with credit and distinction. He was known from one end of the state to the 
other and to know him was to love and respect his noble characteristics.

About two years ago he had a nervous breakdown and Mrs. Harland took him to La 
Grande, Oregon, for treatment. Finding little relief there the family moved to 
Portland where he was put under the care of specialists. He continued to fail, 
however, and finally death came to his relief. With him in his last hours were 
his life companion and all of the family except Mrs. F. G. Harland and Mrs. A. 
M. Harland of Payette. He ended a life of quiet dignified service for his 
country, state and community peacefully and tranquilly as he had lived. 
Funeral services were held at the family residence in Portland and he was laid 
to rest by loved ones in the beautiful city of roses.

The sympathy of the community goes out to the grief stricken wife and family 
in their hour of great bereavement. The loss to this community has been great, 
but small compared to their loss.
