COL. E. M. HEIGO PASSES AWAY

FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE P. and I. N. RAILWAY DIED AT HIS HOME IN BOISE 
SATURDAY MORNING

Edgar Maurice Heigho, retired railroad president and a resident of Boise since 
1918, was found death in bed at his home, 4?? Jefferson street, at 7:30 
o'clock Saturday morning.

A doctor summoned immediately said that Mr. Heigho had been dead about two 
hours. Mr. Heigho would have been 50 years of age October 23 of this year. He 
was born at Essex, England.

Since 1918 Mr. Heigho has lived in retirement in Boise. In that year he 
suffered a stroke of paralysis which forced him to resign his position as 
president and general manager of the Pacific and Idaho Northern Railroad 
company. He came to Boise then to live.

During his lifetime he was connected with independent military organizations 
and the Idaho national guard. He served as a captian and aide-decamp on the 
staff of former Governor F. R. Gooding and as colonel and commissioner general 
on the staff of former Governor Brady. He was a colonel on the staff of former 
Governor Haines.

He is survived by his widow, a son, Cedrie, living in Portland, two daughters, 
Virginia, who is now in New York, and Katherine, at home.

Two sister, Mrs. W. W. Hook of Los Angeles and Mrs. S. E. Hook and his 
brother, George W. Heigho, both of Detroit, also survive him.

Col. Heigho was president of the Pacific & Idaho Northern railroad at the time 
it was extended from Evergreen to Meadows Valley, and was the moving spirit in 
the establishment of the town of New Meadows. He was a man of indomitable will 
who, once he had decided to do a thing never ceased his efforts until the end 
had been attained.

He was a man of rare talents and his library contained the very best in 
literature and art. To spend an evening in his home and have him lose himself 
in a discussion of literature was always a pleasure and the writer looks back 
on many such occasions in which we gained a high estimate of his attainments.

To his noble wife, whose devotion in the years of his suffering and incapacity 
for labor, and to the son and daughters, our heartfelt sympathy is extended.
